EVER SA[IVlTED BY CALOMEl? HORRIBLE! Calomel is quicksilver and acts
 like dynamite on
 your liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, con stipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substi- ute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

 The plan of the government to raise revenue through the sale of war savings stamps is one of the most commendable plans yet instituted. The sale of liberty bonds was and is necessarily circumscribed be- cause these bonds could not be issued in small denominations sufficient to include the small savings of the millions who handle only small means. With the. savings stamps, however, all can have a hand in finan- ing their government. Millions who felt themselves unable to spare the amount of a bond can contribute through this channel. And the fact that every penny invested in these stamps is so much saved and invested at a profit, should in- spire in the American people a spirit of thrift and saving that has heretofore been totally for elgn to our nature. The res ponse should be universal.

FUTURE OF SHIP LINES.

Back in 1902 ! Picrmont Morgan
organized the big occan-cnrrylng cor
p0ratinn known as the International
Mercantile Marine 1t was an Amcri-
can-Controllcd concern, though not oper.tt-
ed except 10 minor extent, under the
American flag which IS to say, not
under United States marine regulations.
The largest American shipping hne
acquired IN the organization of the
Morgan corporation was the Atlantic
Transfer Company a Baltimore con-
ccrn When the war hcgan the In
tcrnational Mercantile Marine, with its
81 vessels, most Of them passenger liners,
was m the hands Of receivers. But the
enormous expansion in ocean rates
during the war resulted IN an immense
~ profitable business

Morgan syndicate were If british register
