ticed great falling-off in the sale of

glst. Dodson's Liver Tone is person

tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated bow

calomel. Take dose of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose days
work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, full of vigor and

ARE YOU AN AMERICAN?

If you have a United States flag
show it. III you are an American you
should have one-or more If you
live in the United States you should
be a citizen of the country and rem
der loyalty to the country. If you
cannot render loyalty to the country
you should go to n TO which you
can render that loyalty.
This nation is made up most large
ly of persons who are born on foreign
soils. They came here because on
ditions were such hat they thought
they had greater personal %opportu-
nifty. The opportunity thus ready
for them is a popularity and function
of the country. There is something
due in return, and that should be a
loyalty in return for the good it has
given. That loyalty demands a feel
ing of citizenship. and an expression
of faith. Let us who starved in a
foreign land, or rebelled against for
eign oppression by coming to the
newer world, and profited by the
change, show it by some expression
of thankfulness.

ENTENTE ALLIES MAY
DISCLOSE SECRETS

Washington, April 5.-All the close.
ly guarded secrets Of submarine catch.
ing developed by the entente navies
are expected to come into possession
of the American navy now that the
United States is ready to enter the
war.
American officials consider the
speedy development of a submarine
deftnse as vitality necessary and all
the genius and ability of the navy
will be devoted to that end.
They take for granted that Germany
will seek to terrorize America by
sending submarines to lombard coast
towns and raid shipping on this side
of the Atlantic.
In a general way it is known that
by means OF nets, airplanes, trawlers
and swift submarine ehasers the Brit.
ish navy has gathered in many Ger
man submarines-the estimates in
some cases have been placed as high
as 800. During the first month of the
campaign of ruthlessness it was relia.
bly, reported here that the entente
chasers took twenty submarines in
their bag.
As the capacity OF German navy
yards-now that a standard of con.
struction has been developed-is said
TO be two submarines a week the sup
preston of the campaign would seem
to depend only or development of eff,
f~iciency in submarine catching.

manner if it can be so arranged. |
would like to take the place of a man
who wished to recruit the line and
let part of the salary go to his family
or any dependents he may have.
II have good health and could cas-
ily do IL hours work a day and not
feel 1t to any extent. | have a good
record in general clerical work and
feel that | could, by putting in extra
hours each day, do the work of a man
receiving $500 a year. am now
getting $1,000 a year and have a
father and mother dependent upon
me, therefore it would be necessary
for me to keep the same salary | am
now getting as living expenses where
| would go would in all probability be
higher than here since | get room,
light and heat. However, thai would
give to the dependents of the man
whose place | would take, the sun of
$500 per year. That would give his
family about the same that ii would
require for me to live and to the de-
pendents / have the same amount.
