in his ears as the great battle cruiser

Choir and steamed down the North
river. Edward Albert waved his
farewell from the fighting top.
Airplanes dipped and circled over
head and salutes doomed from the
American warships in the river as
the "Renown" got under way. The
prince remained at his post in the
lighting top waving his hat in an
swer to the cheers which reached him
across the water until the shadows
had finally hidden the shores. AS
the battle cruiser and her consort,
the cruiser constance" entered the
bay seven American destroyers and
the American battleship Delaware
closed in on her wake, each with
the British naval ensign flying from

YOU NEVER CAN
TAME A WILDCAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous,
Dangerous CaIomeI

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calome1 acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
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 bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and If it 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 get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while IL
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full OF
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like 1t.

COAL EMBARGO IS
PLACED ON SHIPPING
EXCEPT To CANADA

An embargo on export Of anthra-
cite coal, except to Canada, was an
nounced last week by the Afuel ad-
ministration and is already in effect.
Bituminous coal miners Friday
abandoned their demands for 30
hour week and a go per cent increase
in wages. In a counter proposal to
the opera tors in conference they said
they would accept a 40 per cent wage
increase and a seven-hour day.
Secretary of Labor Wilson went
into Joint conference with the miners
and the operators late today to dis.
cuss the various proposals before
them.
The proposal evoked a spirited de-
bate in the wage scale committee
and it was said decision probably
would not be made at least until to-
morrow. The operators have not in
dictated any willingness to amend
their offer Of Is cents a ton and 20
per cent increase for day wage Ia
Dor, with the working hours as at
present.
Bituminous coal mine operators
served what was practically an ul-
timatum on the coal miners repreR
sentatives in Washington Friday,
telling them that the offer of fifteen
cents a ton and 20 per cent day
wage increases was the utmost that
could be given. The miners went
into conference Immediately to con-
slider the offer.
While coal miners and operators
debated in Washington on a wage
scale several sections Of the country,
particularly the middlewest and
southwest, were facing an increas-
ing1y serious situation as result Of
the fuel shortage.
Curtailment Of train service, aban-
Comment of non-essential industries,
rationing of reserve supplies and re-
establishment Of "lightless nights"
were resorted to in an effort to con-
serve the diminishing coal supply. In
many places only q few days reserve
remained. Above all was the danger
Of nationwide freight embargo adj
mitted by Rail Director Hines to be
a possibility should the situation
show no improvement within a
month.
Meanwhile the proposal Of Gov
ernor Harding, of Iowa, that the
chief executive of bituminous pro-
ducing states seize and operate the
mines in an effort to bring about
normal production was meeting with
varied responses. Governor Cox, of
Ohio, supported the Harding plan
while Governor Cornwe1l, of West
Virginia, believed it would be play
ing into the hands Of the radicals,
and Governor Sproul, of Pennsyl-
vania, regarded such action as I'M
constitutional.
