CaIomeI Today! Sick Tomorrow!
Guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone
Don't take nasty, dangerous calomeI when bilious,
constipated headachy. Listen to mel

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish 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 a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone fora few cents
which is a harmless vegetable SUBJ
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
. spoonful and if it doesn't start

your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty Gallo
mel 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 if
you take Dodson's 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.

STATE ATTORNEY
AGREES TO TEST SUIT
LANCER AND STATES ATTORNEY
AGREE TO SETTLE QUESTION
OF LAWS IN COURT

Bismarck, April 12--The state bank
ing board has accepted the sugges-
! tion Of Attorney General William
LANCER to bring a test suit in the
state courts to determine whether the
Consumers, United Stores Co., is vio-
lating the provisions of the "blue
sky" law. Attorney H. A. Paddock
for the Consumers Stores Co.. agreed
to this arrangement yesterday, de-
claring that it was not the intention
Of the company to violate any law,
but that it was willing and anxious
to do anything possible to get the
question before the state supreme
court without delay.
Attorney Paddock and officials Of
the company appeared before the
board on the status of the company
with reference to the blue sky law.
LANCER Objects to 'Stenographer
Attorney General LANCER took the
initiative in questioning strenuously
when Mr.. Paddock insisted that his
stenographer be allowed to secure a
report of the meeting, in order that
no contradictory reports, such as have
been circulated by the farmers
enemy press could again creep into
the papers. Secretary of State Thom-

in making trouble for cooperative
institutions, failed to back LANCER

Paddock: No, we have no financial
statement here. There was none ask.

Governor Frazier: Mr.. Paddock
you are the head Of this company,
suppose?
Paddock: No, I am attorney for
the company. w. G. johnson is gen.
eral manager at the present time and
Fred Miller is the president.
"As I understand it, the question
that has been raised here is as to
whether or\not the decision of the su-
preme court in the case Of State ex

to the Consumers United Stores Co.
We, Of course, for various reasons
take the position that it does not. y

mission will endeavor to secure q
type of construction suitable to the
traffic needs of the road, and the i'm.
provement will be 50 planned that
the cost Of the road will be low in
proportion to the resultant saving in
the cost of hauling and travelling
over the road. a.
The roads to be improved under
the described program are the prin-
cipal roads in the county, roads which
on account of their Importance to the
county will require substantial i'm
provement within few years.
If the county neglects this oppor-
tunity to have its main roads sub
stantially built, with the county pay
ing less than one-haf of the cost the
obvious result will be that at an early
date the county will be compelled to
bear the entire expense for this work.

 One member of the Lord Dufferin's crew. George F.. Berus of New York. an oiler. was killed in the collision. Several others were injured. but none seriously.
 Twenty seven of the freighter's crew Of forty-four were taken off by a police patrol boat. but the others elected 10 remain on board their ship, as the upper deck works were above water when she rested on the bottom.
 The Acquitania, which brought 5000 troops and civilian passengers. was not damaged and went on her way. There was little excitement on board the big liner and many of the passengers did not realize there had been a col lision. HsZy weather and a. strong ebb tide were held responsible for the collision by the officers of the Acdui- tania.
 The Lord Dufferin was vessel of 4,664 gross tons.
