Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver
and You Lose a Days Work

and You Lose a Days Work
There's no reason why a per-
son should take sickening, sail
waiting calomel when so cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute
for calomel.
1t is a pleasant vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and cannot sal
ivate.
Children and grown folks take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it
is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
1t is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose OF rasty
calomel today and you will feel
weak, sick and n~auseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take a spoonful of Dod-
Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation,
sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your
says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than hor rible calomel your mon
is waiting for you.

Mr.. WILSON APPEARED
BEFORE CONGRESS

The sixty-fifth Congress con-
vened in extra SESSION Monday,
answering the call of President
Wilson, and the House proceeded
to organize by the election of
Champ Clark as speaker, and
also the election of democrats to
fill the other offices of the house.
President Wilson the same
evening appeared before a joint
session of the Congress where he
reiterated the facts in connection
with the war which Germany is
making on mankind. His ar
raignment of the German gov
eminent was direct and without
equivocation. He recalled the
murders of innocent Americans,
men. women and children, on
the high seas, and called upon
the Congress for the authority
toidefend the people of this coun-
try in their inalienable rights.
Mr.. Wilson said: There is
one choice we cannot make, we
are incapable of making: we will
not choose the path of submission
and suffer the most sacred rights
of our nation and our people to
be ignored and violated. The
wrongs against which we now
array ourselves are no common
wrongs: they cut to the very
roots of human life. i =
We are accepting this challenge
of. hostile purpose because we
know that in such a government,
following such methods, we can
never have a friend; and that in
the presence of its organized
power, always lying in wait to
accomplish we know not what
purpose, there can be no assured
security for the democratic gov
eminent. We are now about to
accept gage of battle with this
natural foe to liberty and shall,
if necessary, spend the whole
force of the nation to check and
nullify its pretentions and
power"
The president asked for author
ity to defend this country and
resolution looking to that effect
was passed in the Senate by a
vote of 80 for the resolution and
six against it.

Pepys at a Banquet.

People probably eat more judiciously
today than they did when Samuel Pc
pys wrote the following account of his
holiday MENU
I'VE had fricasec oi rabbits and
chickens. leg of mutton, boiled; three
carps in n dish. a great dish of side
of lamb. a dish of roasted pigeons, n
dish OF four Holsters, three tarts. a
amprey plea most rare plea dish Of
anchovics. good wine OF several sorts
and all things mighty noble to my
great content
The striking thing about this feast,
which was probably typical one of
its day O663. is that It is composed al.
most entirely of meat aud fish. relev-
ed only by pastry and wine. If there
we're any vegetables In 1t Pepys did
not consider it necessary To mention
them. and 1t is possible that there were
none. Potatoes were hardly known in
England at that time, and many other
vegetables now considered necessaries
were either not known or were rarely
used.--San Francisco Bulletin.

Metcbnikoff's Dream.

DIR. Ellie Metchnikoif. the great Rus
sian medical scientist. who for many
years made his home in Paris. was the
son of an officer of the Russian guard.
He had the figure of moujik, an
abundant. uncultivated beard. long hair
and big. dreamy eyes. This savant
had much of the simplicity of the
visionary. Possessed by the problems
OF disease and sorrow. he was con.
vinced that all would be for the best If
man could recover the primitive purity
of his organs. In this paradise which
he would restore and that science
might realize lie held that man should
never suffer and that at the end of ap.
proximately 100 years he would die
with the same ease that one falls
asleep In the evening. In the world
that DR.. Metchnikoff has left he had
explained that the body was very i'm.
perfect machine and that there were
100 organs or remains of organs that
were superiuous. useless aud even
dangerous s.--Cri de Paris

THE DEPENDENT CHILD
Main Topic for State Conference OF
Charities and Correction

The Vermont State Conference OF
Charities and Correction was organi'
zed at Burlington in January, one
year ago. The meeting then held
was one full Of interest and 1t assured
the future success of the organiza-
ton. The second meeting is called
to meet at Montpelier, January "a and
rs. 1t Is believed that this meeting
will be largely attended and that the
papers and discussions will be of un-
usual interest. The principal speak
ers are to be DR. Frederick II. Knight
of Boston, superintendent OF the Lit
tie Wanderers Home" of that city,
who is widely known as being greatly
interested in all work for the benefit
of dependent children. c. c. Carstens
of Boston, the secretary of the Mass
achusetts Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, will also be
one Of the speakers. He is one of
the most enthusiastic workers in the
cause of dependent children and will
be able to give valuable counsel as to
the needs of Vermont. Among the
speakers from Vermont will be Presi-
dent Guy Potter Benton of the Uni
versity of Vermont; DR.. c. S. Caverly,
chairman of the State board of health
Prof. X. r. B. Flint of Norwich Uni.
versity; Prof. ]. A. Morgan of Mid
dlebury college and Prof G. G. Grout
of the University Of Vermont
The main topic of the conference
will be "The Dependent and Neglect
ed Child" 1t is q fact that Vermont
has done excellent work in the care
of her delinquent children at the In
dustrial school at Vergennes, and that
she now has undertaken to care for
the deficient children, at the new in
stitution for feeble-minded children at
Brandon, but as a State she has never
taken any steps to meet her RESPONSE
bility for the dependent children of
the state. This has been left to the
local authorities and there is no ade-
quate or systematic method of meet
ing the necessities of this class. II
is hoped that some definite plans can
be made at the conference held at
Montpelier, and that the whole sub
ject may be wisely considered.
All persons interested in the wei.
fare of the dependent children, or any
phase of work for the dependent
classes, should endeavor to be present
at the conference Any information
desired regarding the conference can
be procured from w. J. Van patten,
