.D0DSON WARNS
 CAL0!MEL USERS It's Mercury! Attacks the Bones, Salivates and
 Makes You Sick

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

The Kubelik in Petticoats, whose name appears on the Strand programme as Miss Ethel Mae Parker, continues to de- light the patrons of Brmingham's big gest motion picture theatre with her en- trancing melodies on the violin, played with the technique and soul of the ar tist.
 Miss Barker is Keith star who is at present touring the south on her own booking. and she was brought to Bir- mingham by Frank Hammond. who is being praised for his presentation ot such an able musician to movie fans.
 The Kubelik in Petticoats has been playing the violin since she was a girl of 10, and her finished artistry now shows to what advantage she has sm- ployed her time since then. In addition to her ability as yiolinist Miss Barker is beautiful and is possessed of that magnetic lure known as "charm"

 "The Boomerang" is good clean com edy, but 1t is said that it cannot be de- scribed by mere outline of the story. because nothing of the grace. the humor and the effervescent gayety of the piece can be conveyed in such manner.sdSut 1t is sufficient to say that the story re- wolves about the idea of young physi- clan without a practice. acquiring a pa tient without a disease. It is doubtful if Mir. Belasco has devoted the genius of his stage direction to any more deli- cate and amusing work than this com edy which is wide departure from the vein in which his stagecraft has been generally displayed.

Bill Hart will contln 10 remain out- side of the fold of the United Artists Corporation. His determination to re- tire soon permanently from the screen is said to be as great now as 1t was when he first gave it as a reason for not joining forces with the screen fav- orites comprising the Big Four. But Bill is just as ambitious as they are to do something out of the ordinary and his work in the next few months will indicate, in measure, just what he has in mind for his farewell picture,

For the Good of
 the Community

There is no real cause for such display of pessimism.
 The south, particularly, has come through worse times to great prosperity, and she will pass through the present con- ditions with equal success
 The following clipped from a commu- nication published in recent issue of a southern periodical is commended to the pessimistically inclined The contributor, writing of the days immediately following the close of the Civil War, says:
 Tn the south we had a devastated country and shortage of young men, but those whom we had were intellectually sound. They were Americans. They be- lieved in their native ability. They were individualists in the best sense. They be- ieved in work, and they worked. They did not balk. They went seriously about reconstruction and had no thought of tear ing down, or blowing up, and halting the growth and progress of the nation"
 The basis of success, of permanent pros perity, of building up, in the view of this contributor, is intelligence and a willing ness to work. In this programme there is no place for the agitator, the disturber, the destroyer.
 There was no such depletion of man. power in the world war as occurred inNthe south during the Civil War. There are men enough in the south and in the United States to build up, to put in motion the ma- chinery of reconstruction, if reconstruc- tion is the ra.'ht word, and bring on the no a nyyka1. known.
 High prices are no deterrent. They should be an incentive to production, pro- duction to the maximum
 Shorter hours and ever increasing wages will not restore business activity. Constant and intelligent application to the work In hand; devotion to duty; no stacking. With this as every mans creed the result cannot be in doubt.
 Birmingham industries are running practically on full time now. They can be kept up to capacity only by the willingness E of everybody to work and by everybody working.
 There are agitators now and always will be whose sole purpose is to create dis satisfaction, unrest, and make trouble. They have no place in the scheme of uni versal activity, of business and industrial progress. They ought to be relegated to place where their influence could not be felt by contented and happy people.
 Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict are blessed in that they havevery few of this class of undesirables. The people have been too busy working and doing something to give heed to them. There are very few symptoms of unrest, or dis content, here Conditions are and have been unfavorable for that. class of men, and as rule they have tarried only for brief periods when they did come to the souths greatest industrial center.
 In his closing paragraph the contribu- tor said:
 sIn Europe you are dealing with form of madness, disease of the mind that in- clines to national suicide. Its name is bol- shevism, and we had nothing of that kind to ohstrllct the deyelopment of the South,'
