EVER SALNATED BY
CAL0MEL? HORRIBLE
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick.
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need dose of dangerous calomel just
remember that your druggist sells for
so cents large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect substi-
tute for calomel. 1t is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
1t to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't grippe.

FORMAL DECLINATION
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The
tempest created in Japan's official
teapot by Secretary Lansing's recent
note to China, had subsided today,
Efforts 20 get from the State De
partment an explanation as 10 who
had adjusted the matter were unsuc-
cessful as earlier efforts TO ascertain
who had bungled in the first instance.
There seems 70 be little doubt that
japan had gone off half cooked
through a misunderstanding OF the
real course Of action contemplated
by this country.
Il seems equally certain from the
diligent efforts OF the State Depart
ment to cover up that someone's ef
fort were decidedly amateurish IN
that a note was permitted TO go to
Japan in which there was any posi-
hility of misunderstanding.
All efforts today to obtain a franz
straightforward explanation Of the
incident by the State Department was
futile The intimation was given that
the department does not consider the
details of the incident bungled OF
otherwise any Of the public's tusi
ness.

American request that the British

dicted. Il was a refusal Secretary
