Bacon's Place in History.

Francis Bacon was the foremost
philosopher. statesman and essayist Of
the sixteenth century. His influence
was felt more by succeeding genera
lions than In his own time. He was
never able to he financially ut ease,
though he held many positions OF trust.
He was the close legal adviser to both
Queen Elizabeth and her successor.
James. He attained the position OF at
torney general after waiting for 1t 90
years. However. he was not Idle; as
many OF his essays were setting new
standard of reasoning which led scien.
lists into more practical results.
He was born at York house. in the
Strand, London was delicately reared
and surrounded with every luxury. He
never found a way to live other than
his rich and titled relatives did, yet
withal, he was able to lead the minds
OF his contemporaries into constructive
philosophy after centuries of immature
generalization.

EVER SALIV!ATED By CALONIEIo
HORRIBLE

Calomel loses you a day. You
know what calomel is. It's mercury:
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite. cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious. sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
Calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day: 1t loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesnot grippe.

SPECTATORS TRY
TO OBTAIN BONDS

Rer rts are widespread that some
owners OF Liberty Bonds have sold
them at prices lower than their mar
ket value. Investigations show that
shrewd spectators are active in try
ing to induce people to part with their
government securities. Many Of them
are Offering to take Liberty bonds in
exchange for other so-called "securi-
ty' which promises a higher rate Of
interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t is pointed out by treasury Off
Gals that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evil
dencs of their value is the eagerness
IF the speculator to get possession Of
them. He knows what they are
worth. The Liberty Bond owner does
OF know the value OF the stock" or
bond" he is offered in exchange for
his government security.
Liberty bonds have back OF them
the entire resources OF the United
States which makes them worth their
fare value. The person who ex-
G. anges them for some other kind Of
paper risks losing the money invest
ed in his bond as well as the inter
est.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that 1.-The wars
