GENERAL WOOD IS ENDORSED FOR
 PRESIDENT

1 NEW YORK, May 20-Charlc.
 F. Duell, IT,. late of the U. s. Navy
 who was delegate at large from New Yorl, to the St. Louis meetiag which organized the American Le zion, returned yesterday. Mir. Duell
 iu an interview, said he came back with three distinct impressions. The first of these relates 10 the future in
 iIucnce of the legion in American fife: second, tn necessity of II cdifying th prohibition amendment, a:.d third,
 the sentiment he found concerning the presidency in 1920.
 T believe" he said. that with -he birth of the legion there has been created the greatest single instru- ment for the nations good in up holding our American institutions since the founding of the republic It is 100 per cent American, and it will be the dominating influence for years to come
 Opposed to Prohibition.
 Upon tie question of light wines and beer this has, apart from the question nationally, a particular in terestfo the cit.zens Of the state q New York, ID view of the action taken there by the body oi delegates from our state. who with only two dissenting votes, went on record and adopted a resolution wA;ch reads:
 'Whercal The officers and en- listed fen of the American Army. Navy and Marine Corps, while more than 2,C00.0O0 of their number were fighting abroad, and at least another 2,UJO,gCO were engaged in the mili- tary service of the United States, have had no chance or opportunity to express thelr opinion on the qucs- ton of light wines and beer, the use of which was permitted by the American army in France, by m:li- tary order, now therefore, be it
 Resolved. That it is the sense of the New York state committee Of the American Legion, liminating whisky, the saloon and liquors con aiming an high alcoholic percentage, that the sale of light wines and beer should be permitted to continue II the United States
 Trend of Soldier Vote.
 The sentiment among the dele gates ir St. Louis was quite pro nounced about the pr5sidency-as iu- dicating the trend of the soldier vote. Of the l,G25 delegates present, a far compiling of the figures would Ee that 650 would vote the Republican ticket and 375 the Democratic, that is if MT. Wilson runs again. The delegates all seemed of one opinion that their views reflected the senti- ment back hCme, and they thought those still abroad felt about the same as they did
 For the Democratic nomination, Wilson was naturally the first choice, MCAdO0 the second. with scattering votes for Secretary Baker anI Champ Clark and Palmer. On the Republ can side General Leonard Wood w2s first choice. with Hiram Johnson sec Cnd. with scattering votes for Gov ernor Lowden, Illinois; Senator and General Pershing. Sena- tor Harding lost as a reacuonary. Governor Johnson and Senator Low den showed strength as Progressives General Pe~ening's following was ;I- most ncglgible General Woods was very noticeable They spoke oi Wood as the founder of the great Pla.reb-rg movement and as the father of tie National Army

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
CRASHES INTO SOUR BILE. MAX.
ING YOU SICK AND YOU LOSE
A DAYS WORK. r."

Calomel salivates Its mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When caloml comes in
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, Just go
to your druggist and get a bottle OF
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cnts,
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous caIomel. Take a
spoonful and If 1t doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just go
back and 80 vnnr money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow be-
sides, it may salivate you. while II
you take Dodsons Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
1t is harmless pleasant and safe to
give to children. they like it.
