H. S. Baseball Game

A baseball game due to be played
here this afternoon between teams
representing the High Schools of
Morgan City and Patterson. The local
team lost the game played at Patter-
son last week and they are in high
hopes of turning the tables this week.
The boys have been practicing daily
and are confident they will give a
good account Of themselves. The
game last week was lost on account
Of the extreme generosity of their
pitcher. Through a course of extern
sive training the past few days, the
boys say that this young mans dispo-
sition has been changed. He will
be the selfish thing today and with
Morgan City hitting as they dill in
the last game, there will be no doubt
as to the result Of the contest.

SALOMAL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acst Like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
days work

There's no reason why person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when a few cents buys large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone-a
perfect substitute for calomel
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue
or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don't find Dodson's
Liver Tone acts better than horri-
BILE calomel your money is waiting
for you.

OF lessening the field ravages is to

should be especially we'll covered as
this also reduces the damage Of the

Carbon bisulphide is a liquid which

containing the liquid are set upon the
corn the gas formed will pass down
through the corn. 1t is necessary that

to use one pound OF carbon bisulphide

amount to use should be two and one

HURRAH FOR HOOVER

laid Herbert Hoover when he re-
fused to discuss food conditions
~ in Germany with DR.. Reith and
Baron Won der Lancken:
"You can describe two and one
half years of arrogance toward our
selves and cruelty toward Belgians
in any language you may select, and
tell the pair personally to go to hell,
with my compliments. II do have
to deal with Germans it will not be
with this pair"
Hurrah for Hoover! This is the
most refreshing bit of diplomatic
conversation that has come out of
Europe in a decade. Mr.. Hoover is a
real man and he has the courage of
: his convictions. A little more of this
kind of spirit at Washington early
in the war would have given even
arrogant Germany pause for thought.
It is the only kind of language a
bully understands, and IL ordinarily
a trifie strong for polite society, it
fits so perfectly the occasion that
Americans generally will rejoice in
it and glory in Hoover's spunk.

TNHE War Department very Sc
riously announces that when
hostilities ceased the American
Army was being prepared and
equipped to hurl ten tons of mustard
gas into the German forces for every
ton the Germans could deliver.
Very accurately stated, no doubt.
And it would have been possible to
have mentioned other particulars in
which when hostilities ceased the
army was being prepared for the
work it should have been doing be-
fore the hostilities ceased. If we
had put the promised airplanes IN
action when promised, we should
have saved thousands of lives and
months of time.
The airplanes used in carrying mail
will be a sort of living reminder OF
the inefficiency of the administration
in preparing for war. We shall al.
ways look upon them as part of our
program which, when hostilities
ceased" we were preparing to make
useful in war.
