DODSON WOULD STOP SALE 0F CALOMEL Says Calomel Is Mercury and Acts Like Dynamite on
 Your Liver

Dodson is making a hard fight against calomel i'm the south. Every druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking it's place.
 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re- sults," said prominent local druggist. podson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist. A large bottle costs but few cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and consti- patton. you have only to ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting. purely vegetable remedy. harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness. sick head ache. acid stomach or constipated bow els. It doesn't gripe or cause incon- venience all the next day like violent oafomel. Take dose of caiomel to- Gay and tomorrow you will feel weak sick and nauseated Don't lose a days work.

M'GUGIN ANNOUNCES
 MANDY GRID SCHEDULE
 FOR THE 1921 SEASON

Nashville, November 30.-(Special)- Coach Dan McGugin of the Vanderbilt eleven has announced the Commodores' schedule for 1921 as follows:
 October 1-Middle Tennessee State Nor mal at Nashville.
 October s-Mercer at Nashville (prop- able).
 October 22-University of Texas at Dallas.
 October 2s-University of Tennessec at
 November 5-University of Alabama at Birmingham.
 !. November 12-University of Georgia (place to be decided later).
 November 24-Sewanee at Nashville.
 Vanderbilt will drop three strong teams from her schedule next year. Nir- ginia, Georgia Tech and Auburn. Vir- ginia was dropped because the long trips each year were too much for both teams, Georgia Tech because the Yellow Jack cts would not agree to move the date up to later in the season, and Auburn because the Plainsmen insisted upon q five-year contract with all of the games in Birmingham.
 ! Vanderbilt plays Georgia again next year after a lapse of eight or nine years. The University of Texas will be played at Dallas during the Texas state fair. Mercer. which is coached by Josh Cody, former vandy star, will furnish good practice affair for the second game of the season. The Tennessee game is moved up to date later in the season than this year, both teams objecting to playing a major contest almost at the opening of the season.

O'Rourke Found Dixon and Ma de Hin, e Champion
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

George Dixons rise to fame and great ness in the ring was due to Tom O'Rourke, veteran manager and trainer, who discovered him back in 1S99 and took him to the top.
 O'Rourke, who then was in business in Boston, was invited one night to witness some amateur bouts. One of them in volved Paddy Kelly, white youngster weighing 116, and 93-pound negro. The duslSy midget was George Dixon.
 Dixon spotted Kelly 2S pounds, a. right into Kelly and gave him most terrific facing.
 q never was more amazed at anything in my life than at Dixon's showing that night declared ORourke. Kelly looked like a giant in comparison with boy and the next day l hunted him up. He was working in a photographic gall lery in Cambridge, Mass.
 ''I told Dixon that I thought with con- siderable coaching he might develop into a great ringnan. Dixon was enthusiasts tic about it, asked me if l would take him under my wing, and I did so. ADOPTS RING CAREER Dixon was F then. He quit the pie ture studio and did nothing for six months except hold down the job as my pupil. Every day for half year Dixon would come to my place at in the morn ing, and we would box for nearly an hour. He had a great natural left hand, but knew little about the use of his right. l devoted a large portion of my time teaching him how to send through the right with crushing power. Eventually I took Dixon to New York and tried to get a match for him with l Cal Mccarthy, who just then was re- garded as the bantarhweight champion. | l was told to get reputation for Dixon
 before shot around any loose challenges. I told the packers of Mccarthy that
 Dixon would fight any man they would name. They picked Eddie Hornbocher, | who just d short time before had trav- eled 21 rounds with Mccarthy. So little George Dixon took on Hornbocher, gave away about b pounds, and knocked him
 out in minute and a half.
 KNOCKED MCCARTHY COLD
 Some months later Dixon fought Me | Carthy in Troy, N. Y.. for a S5,COv purse The little chocolate knocked Mo
 carthy cold in the third round. But | Billy Madden and Jack McAulifie, whe
 were handling Mccarthy, dragged him tc 1 his corner and made the claim that the
 round was over before the Referee, Jerry
 Dunn, had a chance to count out Mo l Carthy. The referee allowed the clai,n Dixon and Mccarthy went at it again
 and George finally knocked out McCarths I in the twenty-first round.
 "McCarthy insisted upon a return
 match. Dixon very gladly consented
 The battle was fought in a dance hal l in Boston in 1S90 and goes into the rec
 ords as one of the most bitterly contested l in all ring history.
 Tt went more than 70 rounds-ane 1 every one a three-nninute round period The boys started fighting late at nigh' and were still battling away when day ] light came creeping up from the east lMcCarthy was beaten terribly, but the SUI perlative gameness of the boy, plus th' wonderful handling by the seconds, en- 1 abled him to go out to the center of tht
 ring with each new bang of the gong.
 Dixon wasn't marked up to any grea
