CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
CRASHES INTO SOUR BILE, MAKING
YOU SICK AND YOU LOSE
DAYS WORK.

Calomsl salivates ! It's mercury.
CalomeI acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle OF
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calOmel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while ii
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 tc
give to children; they like it. adv

A Red Cross Christmas.

| The Youths Companion published
the following editorial in its issue
Iof November q
1t is the desire OF the government
that every American, man, woman
and child, shall be enrolled by
Christmas in the Red Cross. The
idea OF universal membership ia the
society that mas for its aim the work
OF restoration, of healing, of aid to
the wounded, the homeless, the affiict-
! ed. should appeal strongly to Amefi
cans. There has never been var n
| which the services OF women and even
OF young children have been so i'm
war in which the hatred of cruelty
and the eagerness to succor the VIC
tins of cruelty were SO passionatelY
reused.
The American Red Cross is the
agency through which the universal
longing finds practical expression.
Now let the expression be as universal
as the longing. Let every American
join the Red Cross and by Joining it
contribute the price of his subscrip-
ton to the alienation of the miseries
that the war has wrought in France
and Belgium and Italy and Serbia
and Armenia.
The year 1918 will be the year in
which the American Red Gross will
reach the highest point of its achieve
ment, the year in which the need for
its ministering will be most over.

Few Escape.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any serious
consequences. Take Chan berlain's
Cough Remedy and observe the direc-
tions with each bottle, and you are
likely to be one of the fortunate ones.
The worth and merit OF this remedy
has been fully proven. There are

it for years when troubled with =

results. adv.

At the Spencer Snnara.

In the elaborate film production

My Four Years in Germany" at
the Spencer Square theatre the rest
of this week. is given opportunity
OF seeing the entire story of Ger
many's plots and intrigue exactly
as Mr.. Gerard did during his four
years stay in the hOtbed of German
diplomacy.
One sees the inside workings of
the autocratic and efficient military
machine that has embroiled the
world in one gigantic orgy of de-
struction, with the tense realism
Of life.
One sees the German display OF
clumsiness, haughtiness and suspi-
cion toward the representative Of a
powerful neutral country and the
consistent effort of America to avoid
the conflict until it became an i'm
possibility.
The world has asked for a pic
ture Of German life, OF the twisted
psychology Of the German mind. OF
the workings of a system which
takes a nation Of honorable indi-
viduals and makes of them a ma
ton of dishOnOrable intriguists.
My Four Years in Germany is
therefore not only a picture Of dra-
matte power, but one of the most
important diplomatic disclosures
published during any way in world
history.

coal. and the railroads, which must
carry It, were pressed nearly -
their limit before the war. They
cannot take on POO, 900, 900 tons Of
additional production.
Elk your minds on what you
know of the burdened condition OF
the leading railways three years
ago. Add to this the tremendous
burden of war supplies, troop
transportation, material for ship
building, and food for our allies.
and then picture to yourself what
II means to those same railways
with facilities little IL any greater
than three years ago, TO provide
transportation for 00,000,000 add
tional tons of coal.
"Conceive of this increase as 16
solid trains of gondola cars tilling
Is tracks from New York to San
Francisco. A veritable freight yard
filled with coal cars extending the
breadth of this continent. And this
represents only the increase of coal
transportation demanded of the
railroads. All of those four million
cars must be switched in and out
and carried hundreds of miles by
our already burdened transporta-
ton system If war demands are to
be met and the usual industrial life
of the country be at all preserved
1.-The coal business is in physt-
cal proportions so far beyond any
other business in the country that
emergency remedies which can be
successfully applied to any of the
others will hardly make a dent in
the coal shortage.
"And yet, the success of the war
is likely to depend just on this sup
ply of coal. Coal to manufacture
supplies and ammunition on great
er scale than Germany, and coal to
transport these supplies and trans
port millions of men both in this
country and across to Europe, Is
the first essential of our success.
Behind this we have the necessity
for coal to maintain life at home, to
