which coming upon man Of his euer
getic nature was deeply to be depored

CALOMEL GOOD BUT NEXT DOSE
 MAY SALIvATE
t Is Mercury, Quicksilver, Shocks Liver and Attacks Your
 Bones.

Calomel salvation Is horrible. It swells the tongue, loosens the teeth and starts rheumatism. There's no req son why person should take sicl1en- ing, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone--a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as ca1omel. but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate.
 Calomel Is a dangerous drug: be- sides, it may make you feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a days work. Take a spoonful of Dod- sons Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No salts neces- sary. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than treacherous calomel your money Is waiting for you.-Adyertisement.

TREES PLANTED IN STREETS

(Prebared by the United States Department
 et AgHcnlturel
 One of the characters in an early day American romance of the time when the stamp act" was causing all kinds of trouble is recorded as declar- ing that New York never would be real business city because Broadway and Maiden Lane were lined with trees. The Van Vrooms, the Stuyve- sants, the ArtaveltS, and other early settlers of the country saved fine trees about their homes, on the village greens, along the. country roads, and .a the fields. But one will see TO trees nowadays OH Broadway, and Maiden Lane has been transformed from the pleasant, tree-bordered re- zion of Dutch homes with flower gar dens into the busiest wholesale jewell ry district in America. If not in the world.
 Beauty and comfort gave way to the nroadS Of commerce, not only in New York but in most Of America's great cities, Sc that today trees in bust ness street are rare sight. There arc elm-shade0 villages in New Eng land; maple-shaded towns tn New York and the Ohio valley, and there are oals-tree streets to be seen in the southeastern states, but for the most part this refers only to small towns Or cities-never to the congested cen tecs Of population where they should hhve been preserved. Washington. the national capital. Is one of the ex- captions, and even there the plantings were not always wisely arranged.
 The tree growth in the streets of the average American town CT city is ragged and unkempt in appearance while that of the suburb or small vii lage often is not much better, unless the planting has been done under mu nieipal control, and the plantings on a street have been confined to a sin. gle kind of tree. The telegraph, the telephone, the electric light, and the trolley car have added their share tO ward the mutiiation or destruction Of the good trees that were in existence at the time of their coming
 Faulty methods of pruning have caused disfgurement and ruin *Suc- cess follows the careful planting of good trees which are giver saeouate

TO ENFORCE LAW BY FINES
Heavy Federal Penalties Would Be Assessed Against Mob Members, officers and Counties Where
 Lynchings Take Place.

Washington. Widely conflicting views of the anti-iynching bill. now botore Congress-, were presented in the House in majority and minority re norts from the Judiciary Committee
 The bill, introduced by Representa- tive Dyer, Republican. of Missouri would undertake to wipe out lynchlng bv heavy penalties to be imposed on uersons participating and officers charged with enforcing the peace. Gounties in which persons arc put to death by mobS also would be subject to heavy fines in the federal coRrt
 Citing the demand In the platform adopted by the last Republican na- uonal convention to end lynching, the Blea of President Harding in an ad- dress to Congress ''to wipe out this barbaric stain" and the appeal Of President Wilson in 1918 to ci:i2c,s to help stop mob law, the majority eport, prepared by Mir. Dyor, charged that these and similar appeals have zone for nanght. and lynchings COB sinue.'
 "Congress must provide the means for ending this cowardly cr~-ne,'. the report continued. "It is in punlshing those who take part In t or who per nit it.
 "The prevalence in many states of the spirit which tolerates lynchirg. seeomanied too often with iDhuman cruelty, and the inability or unwil- lingness of the public authorities 70 punish the persons guilty of this crime threatens very seriously the future peace of the nation Lynchlng plots our fair name as a nation. for we cannot claim to be ciYilied until our laws are respected and enforced and cur citizens secured against the hideeus crueJties of which we are constantly furnishing freah exam ples"
 ihe report added that while fl had been imDoestble to get accurate fig ures, aY2iIable records showed 3.224 persons had been lyncted in the last 80 years. Of which 2,522 were negroes.
 Declaring the bill unconstitutional. the miro itv report. presented by ReD- resentatiYe Summrs, Democrat of Texas, contended it would tend to de stroy the sense of local responsibility without adding to the protection of the people
