Mr.. Dodson, the silver Tone"
Man, Tells the TreaChery
of Cal0meI.

CalomeI loses you 9 day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel IS dangerous. 1t crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
and sickening you. CalOmel attacks
the bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and be-
lieve you need a dose of dangerous cal
omel Just remember that your druggist
sells for few cents q large bottle or
vDodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and is
a perfect substitute for calomel. 1t is
guaranteed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and can NOT
salivate.
Don't take caIOmel! It can not be
trusted any more than leopard or a
wildcat Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly harm
less and doesn't gripe.-Adv.

TOWNS CLASH OVER
HAMMOND HIGHWAY
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN cITI.
zENs OF CONVICTION AND
JACKSONVILLE DISTRICTS.
MAY BE A GOVERNMENT ROAD
Would Provide Good Road For Town
of Goodbee Which 1t Has Never
Had-Say Other Sections of Par
ish Are Just as Deserving.

New Orleans. The question OF
building a road in ST. Tammany par
ish between Covington and Hammond
has aroused a warm controversy be-
tween citizens of CoyingtOn and Mad
isonville, as Is evidenced in an artl-
Gle which appeared in the St. Tam
many Farmer under date of August
"a, and a reply from Madisonville of
the same date. The question will be
taken up soon at meeting of the
st. Tammany police jury at Covirg-
TON.
The Covington arguments may be
summarized as set forth in the Farm
er as follows: The proposition will
provide a good road fer the town of
Goodbee, which it has never had, al
though taxes have been voted three
times for this road, collections have
now for the first time reached sum
great enough for the undertaking;
the new roa dwill cut in half sew
enteen mile stretch on the Tchefunc-
ia river which is not bridged, thus
providing a direct route in place OF
round about one for travellers.
Other arguments set forth are that
the road has already been surveyed
between Covington and Goodbee, and
that the state has offered half the
sum for building the road and has al
ready advertised for bids on the
work; that Tangipahoa parish has
agreed to build and maintain and has
already gone far with preparations
for the part of the road which runs
into the neighboring parish; that the
load would open up new valuable
farm and Embarrassing land and the
route of the road is laid on the high
est ground in the section.
Finally Covington supporters OF the
road say. the promise of the Missis'
sippi Valley Highway Association has
been obtained to bring their 1000
mile drive over this route when the
road is built and the Federal govern
ment will probably make that high
way q military road refunding some
of the building expense, and doubling
the width of the road.
Aroused by the plan as set forth
above by Covington supporters OF the
new road movement, Madisonville op
ponents to the proposal present the
following arguments:
First, they agree that the Goodbee
section has never had good road
but say that there are other sections
of the parish are as deserving.
They admit that three attempts to
raise taxes failed, but want to know
why other sections of the parish
should be asked to help one ward te
raise the money.

Truly 4 Worthy Cause.

The notice of the meeting was so
worded that a generous response was
assured. At the appointed hour the
hall was packed. The chairman called
the meeting to order and introduced
the speaker of the evening. He was

tie man, but he was an earnest talker.
Ladies and gentlemen he said.
'.this meeting was called for the pur-
pose of starting campaign to raise

The rest of the speech was not

POLES PRESSING
PURSUIT OF REDS
5LoSHEVIkI APPEAL TO CAPT
TAI FOR MUNITIONS AND
SUPPLIES.
MAY CUT COMMUNICATION
Allied Military Observers Consider
That the Poles Have Already
Won a Victory in Their Pres
ent Offensive.

Warsaw. - The Bolshevik armies
northwest of Warsaw, between the
Vistula and Prussia, are sending out
wireless appeals for help. Whether
these troops realize that the Polish
northern drive threatens their COM
munications is uncertain from the in
tercepted messages, which repeated
ly have asked Bolsheyik headquar-
tiers for ammunition and supplies.
The Bolshevik wireless apparently
is not functioning properly, as head
quarters repeatedly have requested
information concerning the location
of these troops, the rear of which is
endangered by the Polish advances.
The vanguard OF this Red army has
reached points about 100 kilometers
south of Danzig, in what is known as
the corridor.
1t is not believed here that the re-
cent Polish-Russian military sue
cesses will materially change the
program of the Polish delegation at
present treating with the Bolsheviki
in Minsk The newspapers express
the belief that the Polish peace terms
remain as follows:
First, that Poland will claim only
the territories inhabited by major
ity of Polish and Catholic population.
The soviet government does not con-
test this point.
Second, Poland will claim for the
peoples once forming part of an
cient Poland the right freely to de-
termine their lot.
Third, the declaration of the soviet
government on these points, which
often has been repeated but never
realized, must be guaranteed by acts.
The allied military observers con-
slider that the Poles already have
won a victory in their present often
sive, but they say that the danger has
not passed entirely by any means.
The Poles have advanced rapidly at
various points where the Reds have
retreated. Sometimes the Poles are
out of contact with the enemy. In
some sectors, notably northwest OF
Warsaw, the Bolsheviki are reported
to be showing more of an inclination
to fight.

No Let-Up in It's Torture.

If you are afflicted with rheumatism,
why waste time with liniments, To-
lions and other local applications that
never did cure Rheumatism, and never
will?
Do not try to rub the pain away, for
you will never succeed. Try the SEN
sibIe plan of finding the cause of the
pain. Remove the cause, and there
can be no pain.
You will never be rid Of Rheumatism
