Export Tax Protested
By Argentine Millers

The Argentine Congress has pro-
posed placing a tax Of per cent on
all exports. According to LA Nacion,"
a group of -four millers has presented
a petition to Congress, stating that the
export of Argentine -four to Brazil is
now only about $4,000 tons, or half
what it was at one time, in spite Of the
increased Brazilian demand for -four.
They add that If ) per cent be ADDED 70
the first cost of -four the BraZilians
will import wheat from Argentina and
grind it locally or buy -four in the
United States. At local price $3.50
UNITED States gold per 100 pounds
they do not consider the revenue I'M
portant 10 the nation, but fear loss
Of business to themselves. In view OF
the fact that the mills OF Argentina
require EXPORT business TO work at full
capacity they pray for exemption from
the export tax.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose
Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Cal
omel acts like dynamite on sluggish
liver. When calomel comes into con-
tact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and ali knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get 50-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quick
er than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just so back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full Of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it. IS

PASSION WEEK

D Holy Week, O Passion Hour,
Is this the time for war to lower
and these the moments to engage
The hearts of men in hellish rage?
|. Put forth thine hand,
Still all the strife,
And prompt the peace of nobler life.
10 Holy Week, o day of Death,
Is this the time for bateful breath :?
Lay not One Life Sufficient price
To satisfy all sacrifice.
Restrain the wrath,
Subdue the wrong
And change the curse to kinder song.
% Holy Week, o day of Worth,
is this the time to rend the earth >
Bowed not One Brother on the cross,
All brotherhood to save from loss'
Dissuade from hate,
Bind kindredships,
And wave the wormwood from their
lips.
o Holy Week, 0 week of peace.
Be this the time when surgings cease?
Let not the lesson learned so dear
Unheeded fall upon the ear.
Still all the waves,
The tumult calm,
And teach the winds some worthy
psalm.
o Holy Week, o week Of strife,
Speak to our souls the worth Of life;
Within thy balance weigh the cost
Of brotherhood so madly lost.
But, be thy wage
The battle arm,
Wipe from the earth the worldwide
harm.
Pring us the peace that shows it
priced
3k death as we'll as life Of Christ.

Gen. HIII's Tribute to Gen. Lee.


Following was Tribute paid to Gen.
Robert e. Lee by Gen. Ben Hill, of
Georgia, in an address to the Southern
Historical Society:
When the future historian shall
come to survey the character of Lee,
he will find it rising like a huge noun
tain above the undulatlng plain of hu-
manity; and he must lift his eyes
high toward heaven to catch his sum-
NIT. He possessed every virtue of
other great commanders without
their vices. He was a foe without
hate, a friend without treacnery, a
soldier without cruelty, victor with
out oppression, and a victim without
murmuring. He was a public officer
without vices, private citizen with
out wrong, a neighbor without re-
proach, a Christian without hypocrisy,
and a man without guile. He was
Caesar without his ambition, Freder-
lex without his tyranny, Napoleon
without his SeliShness, and Washing
ton without his reward. He was obe-
dent to authority as servant, and
royal in authority as true king. He
was as gentle as woman in life, mod
est and pure as virgin in thought,
watchful as Roman vestal in duty
submissive to law as Socrates, and
grand in battle as Achilles"

Work and Play

South Americans have not yet
learned that play is as necessary to
the child as is work. ga sound mind

to the people of that continent as it
has to those of North America They
think that time spent in play is time

parents wish to keep their children
porting over their books, and believe
that recreation interferes with their
intellectual development, 'said mem
Der of the national committee on ply

1t is only in recent years that the
people of the United States have
realized that children must be taught
to play just as they must be taught to

who think that money spent on play
grounds and on instructors is money
lost-but we are gradually learning,
and the South American will learn
too. Houston Post.
