Mr.. DodSon Warns
Users Of Calomel
Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite
on Liver and You Lose a
Days Work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating
calomel when a few cents buys a
large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
a perfect substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver
Tone instead and you will wake up
feeling great. No more biliousness,
constipation, sluggishness, headache,
coated tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says if you don't find Dod-
sons Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomel your money is wait
ing for you.

MEMORIAL CHAPEL
FAVORED BY LEGION

Columbia, S. c., October Is
Following a somewhat extended de-
bate, the initial annual convention of
the American Legion of South Caro-
lima, which met here today, in the hall
of the House of, Representatives by
an almost unanimous vote rejected
resolution, Introduced by J. Hertz
Brown, a delegate from Spartanburg,
providing for memorial hospital:
commemorative of those South Caro-
linians in the service of the nation
who made the supreme sacrifice in
the world war, instead of the memoir
ial chapel provided for by an act OF
the General Assembly.
Subsequently another resolution en-
dorsing a non-ultilitarian buildinng or
monument as fitting memorial was
adopted by the convention.
The hospital resolution asked the
General Assembly to make the nee
essary amendment in the existing law,
SO that the utilitarian building instead
of the memorial chapel be built. The
resolution said that the building, if
the General Assembly was favorably
disposed toward the idea shall be a
great memorial hospital where suf-
fering may be relieved, disease erad-
icated and the citizens of this State
made more fit for her service

session of the General Assembly pass

Of the memorial chapel on the ground
owned by the University of South

appropriation of 100000 with the
stipulation that it was to be augment

PERMANENT RESERVE IS THE
SUGGESTION OF GEN. PERSHING

Washington, Nov. IA volunteer
force Of officers and men who served
in the great war, so organized to
preserve wartime designations Of
units, was proposed to the military
committee of congress today by Cen
eral Pershing as the basis of i per-
marent reserve to be maintained IL
future by universal service.
Until universal training got under
way, he told the committee, divisions
and smaller units now disbanded
could be brought back into existence
on paper, with enough volunteers
from their former personnel to make
up the skeleton Of a huge reserve
system.
Later, he continued, men emerging
from universal training camps could
be assigned to these reserve units
in their home localities. He suggest
ed that the men thus assigned be as
sembled for drill or maneuvers 'once
or twice during the period they are
held for possible SERVICE after train
ing, though they could not be actual
~ called into active service except in
time of war.
The general said the problem of
fitting in this plan with any con-
tinuance of the national guard as
such, was a difficult one. He sug-
gested that the governors of states
might be given authority to call the
reserves into service in local emer-
gencies, but preferred that their
training and organization be distinct
ly federal.
General Pershing also declared his
preference for army promotions by
selection rather than seniority and
recommended a single Est for pro-

Only a Cold.

Are you i'll? is often answered.
"Oh! it's only cold,'' as if cold was
a matter of little consequence but
people are beginning to learn that
a common cold is a matter not to
be trifled with, that some of the most
serious diseases start with cold. AS
soon as the first indication of a cold
appears take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Remember that the sooner
you get rid of your cold the less the
danger, and this remedy will help
you to throw it off.
