WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
Small Boy Satisied That the Bill for
His Three Days Fun Was Not
Exorbitant.

At last little Freddy was allowed to
visit grandpa all alone. They were
great friends, and had long waited for
the great day.
Freddy had the time of his life.
Grandpa saw that he wanted for
nothing. The small boy are more
cream buns in those three days than
he would otherwise have done in three
years, while his pockets bulged all the
time with candies.
But there comes an end to every
thing, and Freddy went home again,
pale yellow of complexion. and languid
and feverish. Mother promptly sent
for the doctor. VINO ordered him to
bed, and sent him some very unpleas-
ant, but doubtless healing madeleine.
Grandpa came next day and was
permitted to creep upstairs TO see how
the sufferer was faring. He found the
small boy lying wan and pale on his
pillow, but received watery smile as
a welcome.
"Oh, grandpa" said the weak little
voice, i've been awfully bad-but 1t
was worth It."

.CALOMEL LOSING
OUT IN SOUTH
Mr.. Dodson, the oliver Tone"
Man, Responsible for Change
for the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed a
great falling off in the sale Of calomei.
They all give the same reason. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it." Dodson's Liver Tone Is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle doesn't
cost very much, but If 1t fails to give
easy relief in every case Of liver slug
gishness and constipation, just ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feel
ing fine; no biliousness, sick headache
acid stomach or constipated bowels.
II doesn't grippe or cause Inconvenience
all the next day like violent calorel.
Take a dose Of 'calomel today and to-
morrow you will feel weak. sick ana
nauseated. Don't lose day.--Adv.

SECRET SERVICE TO
INVESTIGATE BLAST
BOMB PLOT BELIEVED RESPoN-
SlBLE FOR THE FATAL
EXPLOSION.
TREASURY is WELL GUARDED
Officials Of the Post Office Depart
nent Said Postal Inspectors Were
Ready To Cooperate With
Other Agencies.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY half a dozen
agencies of the federal government
are at work in an effort to solve the
mystery of the explosion in New York
city's financial district, and to safe
guard government property from sim
Han damage.
In an effort to bring to justice any
persons responsible for the loss of life
In the metropolis, agents of the De-
partment OF Justice, Secret Service,
operatives of the Treasury, inspectors
of the Postoffice Department and ex-
perts of the Department of Agricul
ture were ordered to the scene of the
explosion.
Investigation was. ordered by Attor-
ney General Palmer upon receipt of
the first report from New York, and
William J. Flynn, chief of the Bureau
of Investigation of the department,
left Washington for New York on the
first train.
The attorney general said that re-
ports from New York did not war
rant advancing a theory as to its
cause. The feeling at the department
as well as among other officials OF
the government was that the explo-
sion resulted from a radical bomb
plot.
Secretary Houston announced that
the Secret Service was at work on
the base because Of the proximity OF
the explosion to the United States
subtreasury and assay office. In the
meantime, redoubled precautions will
be taken to guard the treasury build
ing here. Resumption of wartime re-
strictions are under consideration,
which would mean closing all doors
of the building except one, requiring
passes for admittance and placing ex-
ira guards on duty.
Officials of the Postoff1ce Depart
ment said postal inspectors ewere
ready to cooperate with the other
government agencies. and David J..
Price, explosive specialist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, left for New
York to aid in determining the nature
of the explosive.
The noise of the explosion was
heard in Washington by an official
of the Treasury, who was talking on
the telephone to an office in the Equit-
able building in New York. The con-
versation was interrupted, he said, by
'wnat sounded like the closing Of a
large book" Connection was inter
rupted, and later he was called back.
he said, to be told that he had not
been cutoff, but that there had been
an explosion.

SWEDISH PREMIER
LAUDs THE LEAGUE
SAYS THAT IT HAS PREVENTED
WAR OVER THE ALAND
ISLANDS.
AMERICAS AID IS NEEDED
Relations Between Finland and SWe-
den Were Tense-Both Placed the
Question in the Leagues Hand
Victory in Aland Case.

Paris. The League of Nations.
through its intervention in the Aland
Islands question between Sweden
and Finland, has proved its right to
live as an effective means Of prevent
ing future wars growing out of inter
national disputes, Hialmar Branting,
prime minister of Sweden, said.
Il will not use the word war but
the situation between Sweden and
Filand was tense" Premier Branting'
declared. The council of the league,
through its cautious but prompt ac-
ton, has dissipated the feeling and
Sweden believes the council will set
tie the matter to the satisfaction OF
both countries.
Sweden has complete confidence
In the league as a means of prevent
ing future wars, and proof of this lies
In the fact that we unhesitatingly
placed our case in its hands. | believe
the action the league has taken on
the Aland Islands question furnishes
proof to the world that the league,
even in its present state, is an eff
cient world court for hearing interna-
tional difficulties and forestalling con-
fiicts between nations. All that the
league needs to make 1t a most effec-
tive and certain instrument of reduc-
ing future wars TO the absolute mimi
mum is the participation of the
United States. Sweden and the 9TH
er nations of the world await the en-
trance Of America with anxiety and
the keenest interest"
Referring to Sweden's position con-
corning the Aland Islands, Premier
Branting pointed out that Sweden
never would give up the islands,
which, he declared, are essentially
Swedish. Sweden has suggested q
plebiscite to prove her claim, the pre-
mier said, but the council has not yet
decided what means it will employ
and three commissioners will make
an investigation. Premier Brantsng
expressed the belief that the commits
sioners' report will recommend return
of the islands to Swedish sovereign
ty. Their inquiry will disprove the
Finnish contention that the majority
of the islanders are Firms, Premier
Branting asserted, and the islanders
themselves have expressed strongly
a desire to be joined with Sweden.

PROOF OF DARWIN'S THEORY
French Botanist Tells of Experiments
He Has Made With Various
Plants.

Fresh proof of Darwin's theory of
evolution Of species through the
adaptation Of forms Of life to chang
ing environment has been submitted
to the French Academy of Sciences
by the noted French botanist, Prof.
Castor BONNER.
His experiments have shown that
the same species of plant taken from
its habitual lowland surroundings
and transplanted to the rocky soil of
a mountain peak tends to change its
form at once and to adapt itself to
the rigors of the new surroundings
imposed.
Professor BONNER told the
academy of two plants Of the same
species, identical in every feature,
one of which he planted in a fertile
plain and the other on the summit
Of the "Pic du Midi" 10000 feet
above sea level, The first, in its
habitual surroundings, exhibited no
change through transplanting. The
second was completely transformed,
became stunted, and in every re-
spect similar to fundamental char
acteristics to all mountain yegeta-
ton. Its leaves, originally smooth
and glossy, developed a hairy cover
ing to protect them against the sud
den changes in temperature, and
turned from a bright green to a rus
set tone.

GOOD YEAR.

The year 1918 was an extremely
profitable one for the spinning in
dustry in Japan and, owing to ia
yorable' business conditions, it be-
came more firmly intrenched as the
leading manufacturing industry Of
the country. At the end of 1918
there were III mills in this district
operated by 43 companies, with a
combined subscribed capital of $780,
43S,000, Of which 500, 247, 900 was
paid up and reserve funds amount
ing to SAC, 213,05O. The III mills
contained 3,li5,16S ring spindles,
$3.50 mule spindles and 1891
looms. They consumed S53. 2SS, 900
pounds of raw cotton and turned out
F40,SS3,0O0 pounds of yarn. S4,-

OVER TIE ALPS IN TANKS
French People Employing Weapons
Of Warfare In a Rather Novel
Manner.

Frances task Of beating swords
into plowshares included the CONVEX
SION of tanks into something having
peace-time value. Some have been
Employed for towing canal barges;
others have become agricultural
FACTORS; Others have made their
way INTO the factory, where they car
N loads from place to place, But the
most novel conversion is no doubt
thai of the Notwithstanding
lanks, now available to tourists Of
fhe French Alps of Savoy. Shorn
" ITS coat of armor and its fighting
shipment, the tank boils down to
9 very powerful caterpillar tractor.
Pfoylded with seats SO arranged as to
get the most seating capacity Of a
gwen floor space, it becomes an ex-
cellent passenger-carrying vehicle
for %trayersing rough terrain. Indeed,
N the mountain-climbing the service
tanks are called upon to cross
brooks, uneven grounds, logs, brush,
tall grass, and SO on, not to speak
81 the steepest rises,
