CALOMEL DYNAN|TES
4 SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
{. a days work.

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish 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 a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
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.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow be-
sides, 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.
1t is harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it,

Germans Chained to Guns.

The Americans have captured
battery after battery where the Ger
mans were chained to the guns. Yes,
I've seen them chained there. The
German privates have bellyful of
this war, but if they don't stand up
and face the music they are shot
from the rear.
Our men in France have every
thing they need for the present.
They arehappy and confident. They
go over the top with a smile and a
yell, eager to get a chance at Fritz
And our officers lead us-they do
not drive us as the Germans drive
their men.
Don't let the German drive worry
you. 1t isn't worrying us. We
knew the Germans would strike just
where they did, and were glad of it.
Tley have entered the finest little
trap that ever was set for an army,
and you can take it from me that
you will read one of these mornings
that 50,000-maybe 100000 Ger
m ms have been captured.
We are going to strike before long
the Americans, the French, the Brit
ish, the Canadians. the Italians, all
of us together. The allied armies
are supremely confident. We are
going to wipe the Germans off the
face ofthe earth at the right moment.
The German drive has amounted to
nothing. We have given them a
barren territory that is not worth
fighting for We nave held the i .e
with just enough men to hold them
back, and our losses have been as
nothing compared with theirs.
The Americans are just simply
crazy for the time to come when they
will be turned loose against the Ger
mans. Worried? Not a bit. If we
flll, we die for the greatest cause in
history, and if we are wounded we
will get another crack at Fritz. Sure
I'm going back; and the time can't

heavier taxes be imposed upon un-
earned incomes than upon salaries or
wages In return for labor was adopted
on Monday by the ways and means
committee.
Che normal tax on earned incomes
If over $4,000 was fixed at 10 per cent,
an Increase of 6 per cent over the pres
ent law, and the unearned income nor
NAL tax was established at 13 per cent.
Below $4,000 the normal rate is put at
per cent.
There was great opposition to what
should be considered an unearned In
come, but finally this definition was
agreed upon:
THAT portion Of net income derived

For the present il is planned to send

eral March said, adding; But we
hope to increase that in the spring"
Representative Kahn said it might
be necessary to go beyond the Rhine
and asked IL any accurate estimate
could be given of the number of men
that finally will be necessary to win

Replying, General March said that
when the Germans began their spring
offensiv. they were superior in rifle
power.
IF you put so divisions of Ameri-
cans In France of approximately As
600 men to division" said General
March, you will give us marked SUI
periority in rifle power-more marked
thar was the Germans'-and we should
be aUle to bring the war to success
full conclusion in 1919"
Il think the war will be won or lost
on the western 'front.'" General March
added.
General March read an official state
meRt showing that on August / the

TO put so divisions in France before
June, 1919, General March declared:

class ] between eighteen and forty-fiye.
We must not delude ourselves with
the idea that those in the eighteen or
nineteen calls are going tc be deferred
any length Of time. They will have to
be called early next spring in order to
get their training In time to get to
France"
