UGH CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before
Il Saivates You!
It's Horrible!

You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
pated and believe you need vile, dan
gerous calomel to start your liver
and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and take a spoonful to-
night. If it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping or
making you sick ! want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you vii. feel weak and sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days work.
Take D, spoonful Of harmless, vege-
table Dodson,s Liver Tone tonight
and wake. up feeling great. It's per-
fectly harmless, 50 give it to your
children any time. Il can't salivate,
% let them eat anything afterwards.

Michigan S Answer

When Congress passed the prohi-
bition amendment, giving seven years
for the SO States to ratify, the vets
cried for a referendum to save them
from Congress acting without word
from home, while the damp doubt
fuls said you can't get the So in seven
wears, but the forty-fifth State had
ratified in less than one-fifth of the
allotted time.
Then the vets howled, you put it
over in the Legislatures without the
consent of the people" and vera
Joined in their lamentations by lot
Of oozy good people, part Of the
press and even a few remnants of
the cloth.
These demands for referendum
to save the saloon (the American
branch Of German autocracy) was
new idea, for hitherto they had de-
MED the drys that same right of ap-
peal and had fought it in every
corner of the nation, whether it be
ward, town or country, local option,
or statewide prohibition.
While no sane being would be-
lieve that Congress and the Legisla-
lures, which had so overwhelmingly
supported the amendment, could have
done so without knowing the nation
was strongly back of them, yet this
espousal of the American Right of
Appeal by German vets, who had
struck a dry hole, was meeting with
q lot of thirsty sympathy, when a
great State made answer so emphat-
&c that all the beer-sogged were wa
ter-logged by a tidal wave, which
swept the shores Of Michigan, and
though no bubbles have yet been
seen. where the notification kegs
went down, the house of prohibition
fell not. Thank you, Michigan, men
and women, all sovereign citizens.
If we were called upon to name a
State which most nearly represented
. composite reflection of the life and
industry, character and aspirations
Of the nUion of States, we would
name Michigan, an inland State, with
more coast than any other, giving it
great water commerce and resources,
. State wealthy in minerals beyond
computation, and with great timber
resources, abundant in her agricul-
tural wealth and leading the world
IN the manufacture of motor vehi-
cies, with the great modern city Of
Detroit. the very heart Of this indus
try, and kindred lines.
Great railroads and interurban
lines cross in network, and cities.
towns and villages dot her map,
while her schools, colleges and uni
versities heaven the mass of the pop
iilation, which diversity of industry
has made complex in character. and
. true American average of today.
In 1916 this great State voted out
the saloon by a 5000 dry majority.
Last week this same great average
American State had a chance to re-
open its sa1oone by the American
right of franchise, to which right the
vets now appeal, and by double the
majority of 1916 and perhaps more
this composite American State said
we tried both and we stay dry.
And with cry of fraud and a
moan for a recount, John B. went
down again. Never heard that same
moan come our way before. Great
Michigan!

only the self-respect of the American
people but their commercial prosper
ity also. One of our local newspa
pers, THE Chronicle, said few days
ago that we shall doubtless get on
very nicely without the treaty. add
ing that the really important thing
lust now is for everybody to get to
productive work. The pity of it! We
exported six billion dollars worth Of
merchandise last year, and imported
three billion dollars worth; does the
editor of The Chronicle suppose that
there will be much productive work 2
if our customers are ruined and our
markets destroyed? There are those
who seem to argue as if the United
States were an island, detached and
self-contained, in the midst of the Pa
cific ocean. The nations of the world
TODAY are more like a ship-wrecked
crew on an island where they are be-
set by natural enemies against whom
they must unite in common self-de-
Tense. A dweller in Mars or the chief
dwcler in He'll might well be moved
to sardonic laughter if he read these
admonitions Of complacent and unad-
liberated selfishness. 1t may be the
best thing for the world for us to for
get the whole business for while,
saws the same editor. He and others
like him tried to forget the European
war until the brutal logic of events
drew US into it. Does he imagine that
this country can be happy and pros
porous while Europe, the mother Of
the United States, goes down in pc.
litical and economic ruin, to riot and
starvation? Mr.. Hoover, the most
trustworthy economic authority in the
world today, says, Economic demon
alization is coming to this country I'M
less we open markets in Europe.
Again: "Even if we keep our soldiers
out of it, we shall not escape fearful
economic losses" Unless we supply
credit and raw materials to Europe
and maintain economic relations with
the Old World, we shall suffer as
they are suffering. Economic rela.
lions cannot be maintained until
peace is established and the changes
authorized by the Paris Conference
are stabilized through the League Of
Nations. Neither the Treaty nor tbs
Covenant is perfect, for no settlement
of the postIbellum affairs of Europe
Asia and Africa is conceivable thai
could please everybody concerned. |,
500 selected men working for sever
months did no better, what would b'
the result of re-drafting either thC
Treaty or the Covenant by the diets
parliaments and congresses Of the al
lied nations? Meanwhile armies arr
