CALOMEL'S DOOM
The Liver Tone Man Warns
Folks Against the Sicken-
8 ing, Saliyating Drug ,

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's
horrible! Take a dose of the danger
Gus drug tonight and tomorrow you
lose day.
Calomel is mercury! When it comes
into contact with sour bile, it crashes
into it, breaking it up. Then is when
you feel that awful nausea and cramp-
ing. If you are sluggish, if liver is
torpid and bowels consoipated or you
have headache, dizziness. coated ton
que, if breath is bad OF stomach sour,
just try spoonful Of harmless bod
sons Liver Tone tonight.
Here's my guarantee-Go to any
irug store and get bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone for few cents. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous, go back to the store
and get your money. Dodson's Liver
Tone is destroying the sale of cal
omel because it can not saivate or
make YOU sick.

ganization following the war, and it
demands instant and vigorous atten-
ton. Our people, so long and so
often novel by splendid charitable
ness toward the unfortunates Of
other lands, will never permit such
an affliction here at home.
..Moved Ly realization that there
must be nc delay in coping with
such a condition, I am writing to
ask you if the Red Cross can make
an immediate investigation and re-
port the present situation, the out
look for the future and the measures
necessary FOR prompt and effective
relief.
Latest reports received by The
Public Health Service were said to
indicate that pellagra this year in
the cotton belt would claim about
100000 victims, of whom it was es-
timated 10 per cent. would die.

NESS FOR STILLMAN

Cleveland. July 25.-Osteopaths
from all over the country were gath
cred here today for the twenty
fifth annual convention of the Amer
lean Osteopath Association, which
opsn today. One of the principal
subjects to come before the dele
gates will be the discussion of
ethics.
An investigation TO determine
whether Dr. Hugh L. Russell, of
Buffalo, violated ethical standards
when he testified in the Sti!lman
divorce case is to be demanded, it is
declared. DR.. Russell has said he
gave the testimony only after being
so instructed by the court. He is
expected to attend the convention to
explain his position.

DISARMAMENT
DELEGATES
Continued from page one)

More interest perhaps centers IN
the appointment Of the Democratic
member or members. As already
stated, it will be a four-one or five
two commission, as between the two
parties. Former Secretary OF State
Robert Lansing is looked upon IN
Washington as perhaps the most
available Democrat from an Admin
istration standpoint for this service
Besides beirg Democrat and for
mer Cabinet officer, he is now suf-
fciently estranged from the Wood
row Wilso, group to satisfy the
most exacting Republican partisan.
Senator Underwood, the Democratic
floor leader of the Senate, also is
looked upon as a probable member.
If there are two Democrats selected
these two mer will be invited to sit,
it is generally believed.
1t became known today that friends
of John Barrett, former Director
General of the Pan-American Union,
had suggested him for secretary
general of the conference, first be-
cause of his wide experienc in such
conclaves and because of his we'll
known familiarity with all the deli
cate proprieties involved in enter
tanning foreigners.
1t was stated at the Department
of State today that with many of
original problems of the conference
death with, the department officials
had found time to give attention to
the mechanical phases of the bust
ness. The question of properly quar-
tering the visiting delegations has
come up, also the question of provid-
ing efficient interpreters and stenog-
rapehrs who can stake" notes in
various languages. The official lam
guage of the conference will be Eng
lish, it is stated. The official lang
uage of tie Peace Conference was
French.
The question of & possible post
ponement of the conference is still
unsettled. The British seem 70 be
holding out for later date than
November, but the State Department
mas no recent communication from
London on the SUBJECT Meanwhile
the matter of formal invitations is
being held up.
1t is clearly indicated at the State
Department today that officials CT
the Administration were confident
that Japan had been treasured as
to all questions which affect her
vitality and that eventually, if not
in the near future, she will express
her willingness to enter the confer
cree without reservations.

IAA on lnherltances has the
advantage of not Gripping
production. The able captain
of industry or commerce would not
be persuaded to abate his enter
prise by the prospect that at his
death the Government would share
In his accumulation.
Most creators of great fortunes
are not after the money so much
as winning the game. They obey
the creative instinct from fondness
of achievement and power more
than from avarice.
But the man who does not wish
to have his estate taxed when he is
gone can, like the late Mr.. Carnegie.
find ways of distributing most of
it ere life passes.
For this reason the proposal un.
der review to increase the Federal
inheritance tax, while sound enough
as a political measure, might easily
prove disappointing as a revenue
measure.
just now Uncle Sam needs reve-
nue. more than he needs politics.
That is why all tax argument
ends finally in recognizing the ulti-
mate necessity and certainty of the
sales tax.
The sales tax WILL produce reve-
nue..
" will NOT cripple production or
commerce.
And its collection is simple and
relatively inexpensive.

The Senate, ,
Once and NOW
!. READER asks if we have OBJ

oOLN
United States Senate since
Senators have been directly elected.
Senators have been directly elected
for eight years. Half of that time
has been disturbed by the greatest
of wars and it's vast reactions. OPP
Iportunity for judgment is not,
therefore, complete; fairness re-
!quires a longer span.
But it is permissible to note that
one contention of opponents of the
change has already been wildly
~refuted. -
They said that Senators chosen
directly would be dwarfs compared
with the giants of other days-with
the Calhouns, Clays and Websters.
They said that compelling Sena-
tors to 60 to the people for Gre
dentials would produce a crop of
demagogues, timeservers, poor little
misfits with theirjears always totthe
ground, instead of intellectual prodi-
gies daring to do their duty regard
less of current clamor.
Nothing of the kind has happened.
I, For independence, for eloquence,
for practical ability and for breadth
and courage of vision the Senate
today stands as high as it has ever
stood.
With all his splendid oratory
Webster had nothing on Borah. Reed
is as eloquent as Clay and more
independent. Few Senators at any
period have surpassed Smoot, Nor
ris, Kenyon, La Toilette or johnson
in constructive ability or in power
of analysis.
At the supreme crisis of our ma
tons history, when a self-willed
President sought to whip through
an iniquitous treaty reversing our
best traditions and yielding our
sovereignty to foreign control, a
few brave Senators, at hazard of
their political lives, because our
public was at the moment unaware
of the significance of the issues,
cried halt and argued their case
SO ably that the country was con-
WINGED and soon sanctioned their
stand by the largest majority ever
polled.
This was not the work of weak
lings, of time servers, of dema-
gogues. 1t was craftsmanship at
its best. No other Senate in any
period of our history rendered such
a notable service to the country.
Representative bodies are never
perfect, nor are the people who
choose them.
