Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a Days Work

There's no reason why Il per-
son should take sickening, sail
waiting calomel when a few Cts.
buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substi-
tute for calomel.
It is a pleasant vegetable
liquid which will start your liv-

it doesn't make you sick and
cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks
take Dodson's Liver Tone, be-
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug
1t is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
calomel today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days

Dodson's Liver Tone instead
and you will wake up feeling
great. No more billiousness,
constipation, sluggish n e S S,

Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomel your money

"That is the obstacle" the doctor
announced. Its Belgian. l ran
across it, or rather it ran across me
walled and held out it's little thin
arms to me in the ward OF n OF
the hospitals a day or so after it's

of theoretical stuff about baby care
and somehow I fancied l could take
charge of it. Anyway l adopted it
and with the help of the ~stewardess
and some Of the ONE on beard, l
got it hbme-though the women did
look at me as if they thought I was
demented for having adopted the
youngster. I had it bundled in my
arms in a steamer rug-it was hale
and sound and as rosy as it is now
by. that time-when mother and my
old friends came to meet me at the
dock. I thought at least my mother
would take a fancy to it. First they
laughed at me and then, when l
wouldn't put it in an institution, they
got irritable about it. I'd spent so
much time at the front, that my funds
are pretty low and / couldn't afford a
trained nurse for it."
He paused and looked down with
unmixed joy as Jane kissed the baby's
dimpled hands. perhaps I'm stub
born, but the more they tried to argue
me out of keeping it the surer ! got
that I was going to keep it. And even

Late one afternoon Jane found the
doctor waiting for her In her sitting
room when she returned from q lonely
walk. A smile of keen pleasure was
on his face as he greeted her: eve
found your newest purchase" he ex-
claimed.
Jane bent down to a life-sized Japa-
nese doll that squatted patiently on a
yellow silk cushion, its painted black
eyes looking out "appealingly at her as
1t stretched two brown, plump arms
to her.
"Isn't it adorable" she said. "Tve
seen those babies in the windows Of
Japanese shops for months, and final
" / couldn't resist the temptation. If
there were only real youngsters in the
house 1 might have got along without
it. / don't suppose people that have
babies ever live in boarding houses.
/ wish they did; but l suppose they
would disturb the other boarders."
The doctor looked on with a degree
Of fascination and surprise that might
have amazed Jane were she not so
intent at gazing at the lifelike Japa-
nese doll. She planted a kiss on its
plump porcelain cheek. "Ugh," she
said with a shudder. at looks like a
real baby, but it isn't a bit satisfac-
tory when it comes to kissing"
When the doctor went to his apart
ment a little later it was with glad
ness in his heart and a quick step.
Moreover, his idea of Jane had been
altered in one important particular.
The next afternoon he managed to
make his way into the Dawson House
with a large bundle, and when Jane
returned to her sitting room after her
stroll she found him already in pos
session there, as he had been the day
before. He came to the door when he
heard her coming and carefully closed
it behind her.
When he turned to look at Jane she
had dropped to her knees before the
yellow cushion and was planting a
kiss on the cheek of the little bundle
of plump humanity that was seated
there.
"Where did 1t come from?" she
cried, and then she clasped the little
plump live baby in her arms and
proved to the doctor that even a bust

ABSOLUTE AMERICANISM
Roosevelt Tells Liederskranz Club
Duties Before United States.

New York, Oct. 15.-The two i'm
mediate duties before the United
States, Col. Theodore Roosevelt to-
night told the Liederkranz club of
New York, are to carry on the war
until we win the peace of over
whe1ming victory" and to insist upon
absolute Americanism in the citizen
ship of the United States.
No peace not based on the uncon-
ditional surrender of Germany and
her vassal allies should be accepted,
he declared, and no man should be
permitted to participate in American
citizenship unless he was American
thruout. On the other hand, he as
serted that it was "a gross infamy''
and disloya1 to the true spirit of
Americanism to discriminate against
any American because of foreign birth
or ancestry.
Speaking in behalf of the fourth
liberty loan, Colonel Roosevelt urged
the club to support by buying bonds,
its 200 members now in the service.
He paid high tribute to men of Ger
man blood who have fought for
American ideals and continued:
IF 1 had been allowed to raise the
division for service in France which
congress authorized me to raise, 1
should have made a point of having
the largest possible proportion of men
of German origin among my troops
and 1 should have been glad to have
served under a major general, such as
Kuhn. If you will look at the casualty
lists you will see that a large per-
centage of the names indicate that the
bearers were of German blood.
This war is indeed the crucible and in
the actual test of battle it is showing
that Americanism is a matter of spirit
and purpose and soul, and not of
birthright or descent"
Asserting that English must be the
language used in our schools and that
all others must be taught only as for
eign languages he said:
1T must ultimately be the language
of ALI our newspapers. Some of the
best and most honorable of American
papers have been published in Ger
man. I wish to see them continue,
but I wish to see them as rapidly as
poSSihle published in English

which each side declares they should

March when Mrs. Kemper brought
forcible entry suit against Mrs. Wig

in favor of the plaintiff, execution was
issued and a team of horses belonging
to Mrs. Virgins was levied on.
The order of sale was issued July 81.
but Pendry now appeared the scene
and got an Injunction in the district court
to hold up the sale. 1t was now that
Veale discovered that his original service

another summons was issued. He then
brought a replevin suit to obtain the
horses f. w. Leech. marshal, took the
horses and turned them over to the plain

AGREEMENT APPROVED
Santa Fe Stockholders Formally Ac.
1ept Contract With Government.

A special meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Santa Fe was held here
Tuesday for the purpose of officially
adopting the contract between the
government and the railroads The
adoption of the contract had already
been recommended by the directors of
the Santa Fe and the meeting was
held to formally vote the acceptance
of the contract as recommended by
the directors.
According to a statement made to-
day by E. L. Copeland, treasurer of
the Santa Fe lines, a majority of the
stock was well represented, The
meeting was held in perfect harmony
and not the slightest opposition was
voiced against the acceptance of the
government contract.
The formal vote of acceptance of
the contract between the government
ana the railroads was the reason for
the holding of special meeting at
this time and no other business of any
importance was transacted during the
session.

tenn, and E. J. Engle, vice president,
were here to attend the meeting.

HUN In REFORM
Last Obstacle to Changing Franchise
Is Provided by Dict.

Copenhagen, Oct. 15.-The last OBJ
stacle to the reform of Prussia's an
tiquated three class franchise has been
removed by the adoption unanimously
of the following resolution by the con-
sentative faction in the Prussian diet:
I'm the hour of the fatherland's
greatest distress and in realization
that we must be equipped to fight
hard battles for the integrity of the
fatherland's soil, the conservative
party of the diet considers it a patri-
otto duty to lay aside all internal con-
flict and be ready to make heavy
sacrifices to attain the ends in view.
The members of the party believe that
far-reaching rehabilitation of the
Prussian constitution will not advance
the welfare of the Prussian people,
but are nevertheless prepared to
abandon their opposition to the equal
franchise in Prussia, in accordance
with the latest decision of their friends
in the house of lords in order to assure
a harmonious front against the out
side world"

LEAVE SUB Bases
Ostend and Zeebrugge Can No
Longer Be Used.
Hun VIII Have Harder Time in
His Piracy.

New York, Oct. 16.-Ostend and
Zeebrugge can no longer be used by
the Germans as supply bases for their
submarines.
The allied advance into Belgium
has already cut the principal railway
leading to Ostend by way of Thourout.
There remains second railway which
passes thru Bruges and branches off
to Ostend and Zeebrugge. French
cavalry are approaching SO near to
this line that it would be foolhardy
for the Germans to continue sending
over it supplies which would be des-
tined for ultimate capture.
Instead of this sole remaining line
of communications being used to carry
munitions to the Belgian coast for
the U-boats there is every reason to
believe the Germans are trying to en-
ploy it to rescue all they can from
Zeebrugge before the allies close in
upon those parts.
The Only Way.
Forwarding of torpedoes for the
submarines to Ostend and Zeebrugge
for the destruction of allied shipping
can be undertaken only by way of the
Belgian railroads. There is no other
means of communication. The Ger
mans cannot send torpedoes from Ger
man ports to the Belgian coast by sub
marine carriers. To reload their
magazines, therefore, the submarine
pirates must now make their way back
to German territorial waters after the
termination of every raid. Their out
ward and return trips will add five
hundred miles to the necessary jour-
neys of the submarines before they
reach the lanes Of the Transatlantic
shipping.
Shorten Periods at Sea.
This means the pirates must shorten
the period they can remain at sea in
wait for their victims by several
days. Otherwise thier supplies will
become exhausted. 1t also means the
U-boats must run a much longer
gauntlet past the allied patrol ships
off the coast of Belgium and Holland.
There will now be a greater toll of
submarines taken than ever before. At
the same time despite the kaiser's eff
forts to increase the intensity of his
ruthlessness at sea, allied shipping
losses should show a rapid decline.
