FINE SOLDIERS IN ITALY

(Will Irwin the widely known war
correspondent, writes of the check
administered to Emperor Karl's great
drive by General Diaz's rejuvenated
armies.)
The Italians, in my humble, unhili-
tary opinion, have "The Indians
Sign" on the Austrians.
When these two armies meet on
even terms, the brilliant little sons of
the South seem usually to win. Be-
fore the Caporetto disaster, Italy and
Austria fought IL general engage
ments. In IL of them, the Italians
had the advantage. In only one

was not state, Napolean in mo-

italy so that Austria might have some

baldi's campaigns, Italy has taken
sweet revenge for that saying.
How Italy would compare with
Germany in straight, stapd-up fight,
we have no means of knowing. The

STOP DOING YOUR BIT.

You've been doing your bit, young
man, l know,
And doing it mighty well,
Helping along at every chance
With things that really tell.
You've proved your worth and proved
your faith,
And stood the patriots test;
But now, young man, stop doing your
bit,
And do your level best.
You've been doing your bit, fair
maid, l know,
In a dozen different ways;
You've toiled from mourn to eventide
Without a, thought of praise.
The world owes much to those who
serve
With eagerness and zest;
But now, fair maid, stop doing your
bit,
And do your level best.
You've been doing your bit, dear mo.
ther heart,
For loved one over there,
And all your kindly mother acts,
You've sanctified with prayer.
And now, perhaps, as the burder
grows,
Your loving hands need rest;
If so, the world with one accord
Will call your bit your best

Every druggist in town-your

has noticed a great falling off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place
"Calomel is dangerous and people

sults,' said prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs but
few cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver slug
gishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio-

A WET WAR GARDEN

An old time darkey in Atlanta had
war garden that was not affected
by the drowth even in a very dry
month. Some suspicious circum-
stances caused the detectives to dig
around his tomatoes, squashes, beans
and onions. They found buried be-
tween the rows gallon jugs, quart
bottles, pint and half-pint flasks of
red liquor. The old man said he had
rheumatism powerful bed and he
buried the whiskey to have it handy
when rheumatism struck him. 1t
cost him $500 to bury that whiskey
in his war garden.

THE WATCHDOG'S BITE

Congressman Dewalt, of Pcnnsyl
vania, caused some laughter in the
solemn body of which he is a mem
ber, when he made this reference to
certain supposed watchdogs of the
Treasury:
Mr.. Chairman, Of course we all ad-
mire and oftentimes applaud those
who are generally known as the
watchdogs Of the Treasury, but very
frequently their bark is more potent
than their bite; and what is also es-
sentially true, they oftentimes bite
the wrong individual, at the wrong
time, and in the wrong place.

her allies were engaged.
This was no surprise to those who
know the Italian army. There is no
better soldier in this game than the
Italian peasant-descendan of the
men who formed julius Caesars ever
victorious legions. In action, the
"arditi" or storm-troops, are set
of wild dervishes. The bersighlieri,
or marching troop, who screened the
retreat last October, performed deeds
of intelligent valor which stand out
even in this war where desperate
bravery is comomn place. The
"Alpini," or mountain troops, have
fought and won on the SUBMITS of
the Alps at heights and under condi-
tions which man never braved before.
The army organization is marvel of
simplicity and efficiency. The mill
tary engineering of their able, ex-
pert technicians has revolutionized
that science.
AS l write Thursday, June 2O)
the Italian resistance appears to have
stopped the rush as sharply and de-
finitely as a sharp tackle stops run
ming halfback. This is a war of sur
prses. 1t would surprise the world
but it would not especially surprise
those of us who know Italy at war
if the great final victory came
through a collapse of the mongre
empire before the assault of trum
phant Italy.

Senator Tillman is now in his 72d

great that he should be required to
squander it, but he does as much work
IS any man in the capitol. His mind
is clear, his heart is clean, his ex.
'erience is ripe and his patriotism
above reproach. That he has done
great things you all know. That he
continuing his splendid work here
ie know and l bear cheerful testi.
my to this fact.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

HOOVER TO SEIZE
 EXCESS PROFITS OF FLOUR MIlLfRS
Will Make Them Liquidate Surplus by Giving Flour
 to Army and Navy

Washington, July 1.-Flour millers who made excess profits during the last fiscal year, as charged by the federal trade commission in it's report Saturday to the senate, must return to amount of such profit to the gov ernment in the form of milled flour, is among other regulations made to- day by Food Administrator Hoover.
 The federal trade commission charg- ed that the millers had made a profit of 45 cents a parcel on flour despite the food administration regulations limiting the differential to 25 cents. It develops that the commissions re- port was anticipated as the admin istration regulations were sent out last June IF.
 Millers whose profits at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, are in excess of tn emaXimum percentage are required to credit the amount ct tn eyoess to the food administration to be liquidated by flour to be sold to the army, navy. marine corps and the food administration grain co,'gora- ticn in New York at $1 a barrel.

My physician compelled me to have six taken eIt. My dentists office Is on the sixth fiooz of downtown building, but after my :seth were gone l couldn't say sixth, but thickth. This sounded absurd, coming from a grown woman of my weight and dignity, and I suspected the grins of my fellow passengers in the elevator.

 'It was beautiful scenery all along the way thru Arkansas. Of course the land is very swampy. Along the Cot ton Belt we made very, slow time, ar irving at Pine Bluff in the evening. and say, we sure were treated fine. The Red Cross served us with ice cream and lemonade; also stamped post cards.
 "They do not know how it livens us up to be treated this way. l sup pose they think we forget it by night, but never. I will remember it as long as I live. I don't see how they can treat all of us so good as there is train load going this way all the time and I guess they treat them all the same.
 "They sure are patriotic in this town. More so than any place the size I have ever seen."
