MT. Dodson Warns Against Use of Treacherous. Dangerous
 CalomeI.

Calomel salivateS! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on slug gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into 1t, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for few cents which Is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel Take spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak- ing you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today youll be sick and nauseated tomorrow: besides, 1t may salivate you. while if you take Dodsons Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless. pleasant and safe to give to children {; they like it.-Adv.

HOMER CUMMINGS, TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN, CHAMPIONS THE
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
MONROE DOCTRINE OF WORLD
Is the Way Speaker Characterizes the League of Nations-Refers To Re publican Platform as "Reac-
 tionary and Provincial"

San Francisco. = The League of Nations covenant was championed as the Monroe Doctrine of the world" by Homer Cummings, temporary chairman of the Democratic national convention. in his keynote address.
 Of the peace treaty's defeat in the Senate, he said No blacker crime against civilization has ever soiled the pages of our history"
 He characterized the Republican platform as "reactionary and provin- cial. Filled with premeditated slan- ders and vague promises. 1t will be searched in vain for one constructive suggestion for the reformation of the conditions which it criticizes and de- plores." he continued.
 "The oppressed peoples of the earth will look to it in vain It contains no message of hope for Ireland no word or mercy for Armenia: and it con ceals a sword for Mexico. It is the work of men concerned more with material things than with human rights. It contains no thought. no pur- pose which can give impulse or thrill to those who love liberty and hope to make the world safer and happier place for the average man
 He declared that the peace time record of the Democratic party from March 1913, to the outbreak of the world war has to its credit more ef- fective. constructive and remedial leg islation than the Republican party had placed upon the statute books in generation"
 Praising the administrations course in the war he said: We fought a great war. for a great cause and we had leadership that carried America to greater heights of honor and power and glory than she has ever known before in her entire his tory"
 Referring to the congressional in- vestigations by smelling commit tees" he said that over so investiga- tions have been made, over two mil lion dollars wasted aud the result has been to prove htat it was the cleanest war ever fought m the nis- tory of civilization "

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are ex. tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited. to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale'
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact, 90 many people claim, that it fulhlls al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corEects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sals at all drug stores.-Adv.
