1t was charged that the plant threw
Off noxious odors, not only extremely
offensive but injurious to health,
Orders were issued from time to time

various changes were made in the
plant. The nuisance, however. accord

In his order closing the plant, DR..

William Collier has apparently de-
voted himself to the proving Of the

his appearance at the Longacre
Theatre last night we have the case

"Nothing But Lies challenges com.
parison with "Nothing But the Truth" "
that play in which Mr.. Collier ex-
tracted SO much comedy out Of the
situation OF the yonug man forced to
strict adherence TO the truth for
twenty-four hours. and the earlier play
has somewhat the better of it. There
was far more real humor inherent in
that situation than there is in this new
play. In this Mr.. Collier is an en-
gaging, accomplished and wholly salts

truth-teller), who, when persuaded by
his sweetheart to stick TO the truth,
makes a pretty bad bungle Of it. The
situations in last nights play were
strained and not really funny in them
selves. But as the play frankly de
scribes its limitations by calling itself
"a Colliersm in Three Acts and a
Little Bit More" one expects only that
it shall afford Mr.. Collier the oppor-

Inquiry Started at Once
There is slight incline where the
accident occurred, but Harris had q
clear view Of the track for about 800
feet. District Attorney Francis Mar

Alfred Cohn, started an investigation
Immediately to ascertain the cause OF
The accident and fix responsibility. At
a late hour last night the authorities
we're unable to learn whether the sig
nals on the 186th Street turn were
faulty or whether Harris flashed by
them and was unable to control the
heavy train on the inclined curve.
The accident occurred just before c
O'Clock. The first train had slowed
down, waiting for q train ahead to pull
out of the Fordham Avenue station two
blocks north. The train operated by
Harris, without decreasing it's speed
smashed into the train ahead with such
force that the first car of the rear train
and the last car of the forward train
were telescoped.
That the list of dead and injured is
not larger is due to the fact that there
were few passengers i'll the telescoped

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug

to contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
II you feel bilious, headachy, col-
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few
cents which is a harmless vegetable
substitute 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 without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
II you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides it may salivate you, while if
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 to
give to children; they like it. Adv.

GIRLS! IT'S YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS!
Says Women Pay Too Much Heed
To Their Face Instead
Of Their Gems.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp little.
That's bad, girls, and you know it.
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-
sides corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by
asking at any drug store for q
quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost little but is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is a gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create youthful! step
which enhances her attractiveness.
Adv.
