CAL0MEL2 HORR|BLEI
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you day! You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose Of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can moi salivate.
Don't take calon, (! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right UP and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

All Clocks Are To Be Set Forward One
Hour on March 81.
Washington, March ~. The
daylight saving bill was signed
yesterday by President Wilson.
The daylight saving plan will
90 into effect and be observed
without the slightest disorgani-
cation or impairment of existing
conditions.
Trains will be run as usual, and
every feature of daily life into
which the element of time enters
will remain unchanged.
Before retiring on the last
Saturday of this month, the
American householder will set
his clock one hour ahead, and
then go to sleep and forget en-
tirely about daylight saving un-
til the last Saturday in October.
On that day he will reverse the
process. turning back the hands
of the clock an hour, and the
next day the nation will again
run on sun" time.
In the summer, the American
man actually will arise, transact
his daily business and retire an
hour earlier than has been his
custom, but with his clock an
hour fast he will not know the
difference. An hour of daylight
thus will be conserved in the
afternoon.
The plans practicability and
efficiency have been effectively
demonstrated in IL European
countries. :.
Advocates of the plan. in pre-
senting their case to congress ex-
planned that the following bene-
iicial results would be achieved
by the system:
A great saving of illuminants,
such as oil. gas and electric DOW
er.
Marked conservation of coal.
Increased manufacturing pro-
duction as the result of improve
ment in working conditions.
General benefits to the nation.
al health because of an addition.
al hour of daylight which may be
devoted to recreation.
Reduction in thescost of living
to some who can raise garden
truck for domestic consumption;
and improvement of training
conditions for the fighting forces.
1t puts all clocks forward an
hour on the last Sundty in March
and turns them back again the
last Sunday in October.

"Mr. Harper ybu haze. heen

ment of three counts, charging
separate and distinct violations OF
the espionage law. The second
and third counts are based on al
legged statements which you have
denied having made. The jury
was evidently of the opinion,
either that the government had
failed to establish beyond a
reasonable doubt that you have
made such statements, or that if
you have made such statements,
it was not with the illegal intent
to cause INSTRUMENTATION. disloyal-

ing and circulating a pamphlet
containing false statements with
the intent to interfere with the
operation or success of the mill

You have admitted writing this
pamphlet, and what you said
therein is a matter of record.
The jury's verdict of acquittal
on this count could therefore
have been based only on reason
