it salivates you!
It's hOrriblei

You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
patd and believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your
liver and clean your bowels.
Here s my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a bottle Of Dodson' s

SECRETARY McADOO ON WAR
TAXES

The Ways and Means Committee
Of the lower house Of Congress is
new considering revenue legisla-
ton. Secretary McAdoo favors
a flat war-profits tax Of 80 %. In
a telegram to Chairman Kitchin
he says:
1t is my strong conviction that
the taxation of genuine war profits
is the only way to reach real war
profiteering, and that it is at the
same time a thoroughly justifla-
BILE measure upon economic ground
as we'll as a certain and indispen-
sable producer Of a large part of
the required evenue.''
"The patriotic producers Of
America should be content if one
fifth Of their war profits are secur
ed to them, especially when we re-
fleet that the men who are fight
ing and dying in France to save
the liberties of those who stay at
home and who make it possible
for them to continue in business
are limited by act Of Congress to
1896 per year for their services
and have to give their blood in the
bargain. .

At last we have hero in the 1l9th

other than Johnnie Griper. the chief

stroIllng down the road the other
evening observing everything that
takes place within sight or hearing,
he was an eye witness to an accident.
IL was a collision between a fiiyver
and a French poodle, the fliyVer was
not damaged very much but the poodle
got its rear system and transmission
badly disarranGed. There was a lady
in the case The little poodle was out
walking with the fair one. SO the poodle
mistudging where the flivver would
run accidentally Unanswered out in
front Of the flivver and then 1t hap
pened.
The fair one tainted but not until
there was a husky soldier there ready
to catch her and poor Johnnie tried
very hard to beat the other fellow there
but he was not as good a Splinter as
the other fellow, SO therefore Johnnie
got left.
Then Johnnie turned his attention to
the wounded poodle and tried to pick
il up. The shaggy beast growled very
fierCeiy at him, SO Johnnie as brave as
he is shrank back in fear and then just
as the poodle was about to jump over
a high bank. Johnnie dashed out and
snatched the little animal from the
very jaws Of death. He carried it TO
the humble home and placed it safely
in its masters arms. Therefore, !
think that he is very much hero and
