New London, March 2s.--More than fifty years ago the late John R. Bolles was deyoting nearly all of his time in
 interesting federal officers and the general government in the natural ad- ryantages of the Thames river, and New London, as the site for the "great ra- Ivy yard of the future.' MT. Boles continued the work and with more or Hess success until he died. It wac practically his life work and he Is en- titled to be known as the Father or hhe Naval Establishment on the Thames" It would never have been there. perhaps. but for the earnest and uphill work of Mrs. Bolles, whose .persistency forced a full knowledge Of the advantages of the location upon the navy and the war departments, and with documentary proof of its suitability in the form of official re- ports of boards of navy and army ofn- cers. His life was spared long enough for him to see some results of his work. He secured the land., trans ferred 1t to the state and had the state cede it to the government Tor naval purposes, and when that purpose was abandoned the property to return to the original owners or their heirs. When this was accomplished MT. Bol1es gave that peculiar and charac- terTstic chuclxle and declared: "I have won my long fight and against big odds. Won against our congressman, fhe Newport society influence and the packers of that island navy yard at Philadelphia. veritable mud hole that was selected as the site for a navy yard in preference to the site offered on the bank of the Thames riv- CT, where access was available With out any dredging. I've driven the irli- tial wedge home. The government will never abandon that site as a na- val adjunct" Mir. Bolles witnessed the starting of the work to establish the New London Naval station and saw it utilized for several purposes
 but his dimmed vision was never gratified with sight of the real nucleus of that great navy yard of the future. That naval site on the Thames. as Mir Boiles, stated in his prediction. never has and never will revert back to it's original owners.
 Here is now located the submarine base and new buildings are going ur rapidly as a guarantee of it's perman- cv. It is already classed as one ot the most irnportant naval stations ir the United States, and is destined tc be among the largest There are al ready nearly two thousand officers and men at the base, and the study of ar important arm of the naval service is specialized. If these were not wal times this interesting work could be gone into in detail, but it does not re- qIIire a marine telescope to see that the base Is of the greatest importance to the present and to the navy of ths future. A bit of idea of the magni
 tude of the work of preparation fol occupancy of the base can be figured out by tine fact that three specia
 trains of ten cars each are. engaged daily to take civilian workmen to ant from the yard for New London Joh1 R. Bolles, who classed himself as al old fogy, was away ahead of his tim
 when he first took up the work for ; naval establishment in New London but he evidently knew just where h was at more than half a century ago

TOWER ALMOST HIDDEN
BY THE DESERT SANDS
ANCIENT RUINS IN BABEL WERE
ONE OF WORLDS GREAT
EST SKYSCRAPERS.

The exact location of the original
Tower Of Babel has never been de-
termined-the question has been dis
puted in almost as many tongues as
resulted from that first unlucky at
tempt to build a skyscraper. Near
the ancient city of Babylon are two
ruins, for each one of which is claim
ed the honor. One is a crumbling
pile of stones and bricks on the
banks of the Euphrates, and the 9th
er the ruined tower known as Bfrs
Nimrud, a few miles south of the
city. Birs Nimrud seems to have the
honors in the contest at the present
time, the majority of Biblical schol-
ars having thrown the weight of their
opinion in its favor.
The ancient tower is in remark
able state of preservation. In fact,
it is supposed to be in about the
same condition as it was at the time
Of the confusion of tongues, despite
the ravages of several thousand
years. The Bible tells us that the
tower was destroyed by fire from
heaven and scientists claim that Birs
Nimrud was at one time the victim
Of lightning-its condition at the
present day carrying out the theory.
The ruins are almost hidden in the
desert sands, that the winds of ages
have blown over them. This pile of
sand and mortar is only 1913 feet
high. We are apt to think that the
ancients had not progressed very far
when the wrath of heaven overlook
them. The actual height of the orig
inal tower can never be known as
the historians of that date seem to
disagree upon the subject. Herodotus,
about LOO years after the destruc-
ton of the tower relates having seen
a tower near Babylon several hun
dred feet high. This may have been
Birs Nimrud. Scientists believe. that
it was. Some ancient writer's claim
that the tower had reached height
of II miles before the work was
stopped.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0ISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in 1t,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ Of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can. only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
we'll, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a ggass of hot water
with q teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
texins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because 1t
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. II
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound, which is sufficient for dem.
Onstration OF how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
Ireshens the liver, keeping you feeling
1t day In and day out.

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
a record of 95 per cent. cures of Hog
Cholera. If you feed your hogs as
directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice a
week
Usually, though, Cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hOg-each
hog must be dosed-and if you will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 80 per cent. If you don't

nothing. We-not some distant man

AWOMAN'S BACK
The Advice of This Dawson Woman
Is of Certain Value.

Many woman's back has many
aches and pains.
Ofttimes It's the kidneys fault.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are
so effective.
Many Dawson women know this.
Read what one has to say about it:
Mrs. L. E. WEIGH, $40 E. Eleventh
street, gave the following statement
May 5, 1911: For about year
suffered with rheumatic trouble which
undermined my health so I became
helpless. My back bothered me lot,
too. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised for just such cases as mine
began using them Doan's soon
strengthened my back, removed the
rheumatic trouble and made me feel
fine in every way"
On April Is, 1918, Mrs. WEIGH
said: Il cannot praise Doan's Kid
ney Pills too highly for what they
have done for me. | know they are
worthy of a trial by anyone having
kidney trouble"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

thrown open the street is a mass of
struggling humanity. The appear
ance of the cashier electrifes the
crowd. With shouts, hands are held
up in the air, the mass surges for
ward, each woman intent on being
among the first to receive her coin.
AS each is supplied she leaves the
crowd, to make her way to one of the
many public markets where she US
ually purchases seconds" of various
vegetables from the produce dealers;
then goes home to prepare dinner.
The doing out of coins finally is
concluded, the window slams down,
for the sum to be distributed has
become exhausted. Many are disap-
pointed, but there is the consolation
of looking forward to the coming
Saturday. They resolve to be on hand
earlier next week.
Pathos and disappointment were
written plainly on the face of an old
negro nanny one recent Saturday
as she hobbled down the street, as
sisted by a battered crutch and a
cane. A broker who had been watch
ing her accosted her:
Whats the matter, nanny?
Were you left out?"
'Yessuh, yessuh. l reckon l amt
young ez l USER be-" she replied.
Somehow all dem younger 'omans
jes beats me to it. An l needed dat
money to buy sumpin to eat wild,
too" And she resumed her journey.
Gust minute" called the bro
ker Maybe this will make up for
it." He took a dollar bill from his
pocket.
"Thanky, sub; God bless you hon
ey," she said. And as she showered
her thanks and blessings upon him
he entered into his office.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ire
mendous financial burden entailed by
the war again was impressed on con-
gress today when Chairman Kitchin,
of the ways and means committee,
called up his resolution authorizing
new bond issues of $4,000, 100000.
The introduction of the resolution
came as as urprise to a majority of
the members of both houses. This

MYSTERIOUS WARNING
in CALHOUN COUNTY
ANONYMOUS HAND BILLS DIS
TRIBUTED BY UNKNOWN MEN
RIDING IN AUTOMOBILES.

The Arlington Courier says a great
deal of excitement has been aroused
among the white people of Calhoun
county by the distribution of little
yellow circulars calling on loafers of
all kinds to go to work.
No one seems to know anything
about who is responsible for the mat
ter, the only clew being that three
automobiles passed through Edison
at late hour on the night the cir
culars were distributed. The message
was headed white and Black" and
contained the following warning:
"Go to work, go to war or leave
Calhoun county; your presence is no
longer endurable unless you are do
ing one or the other. More work
wanted on Saturday afternoons.
These orders apply both to white and
black, male and female, old and
young. If you can't do this you had
better wear pillow in your pants.
We will no longer stand for a slack
er in Calhoun county. We will not
stand any slack or careless talk
against Uncle Sam, the Red Cross, or
any other government orders. There
must be no yellow dogs around. This
is your final warning and must be
sufficient. THE A. W. c."
There is much speculation as to
what GA. W. c." stands for some
suggestions being "All Work Club"
and American White Cappers"
Circulars of similar import dis
tributed in Early county. last week
bore the same signature.
