representing President Harding.
The Knox Resolution for . sepa-
rate peace with Germany, having
passed Senate is still held up in the
House at this writing. President
Harding has denied the charge that II.
is held up at his request, but he has
done nothing to aid its speed passage
in that body. Last october and in his
inaugural address, March 4, he was
keen for the passage of the resolu-
tion. His apparent indifference to
its delay at the present writing.
while Inconsistent, is in line with the
trend Of his administration toward
participation in International affairs,
fact more pleasing to Democrats
than to members Of his own party.

not due to q low tariff. but to the
collapse Of his foreign markets.
Senator Moses, not only voted
against the bill, but made q speech

party against a repetition Of its tariff
policy in the Payne-Aldrich Of 1909

LOOK OUT FOR
 THE RUTS OF
 POOR HEALTH
There's Work to Be Done by Red-Blooded Men and Women
 with Strength and Energy
DO YOU FEEL FIT FOR
 YOUR JOB?
Pepto-Mangan Tones Up and Purifies the Blood of Busy Men and Over-tired
 Housewives

Take any man who works with his hands all day, every day, week in and week out. He uses up energy-lots of it. If he eats we'll and rests well his body renews it's own energy. But there are days when he gets over-tired, he calls on his human engine to do more than it can. He strains. His blood gets thin. He feels weak and sluggish, may be grouchy. He simply cannot get things done with his old-time vigor.
 It is the same with women working around the house every. day. Days come when they overdo. And they pay the price.
 Brain workers go through the same . thing except that they are more likely to suffer from impoverished blood be- cause they usually work in stuffy of fees.
 So when you get run down from over work and strain, it is a good thing to know about that wonderful tonic, Pep o-ManSan. Begin taking 1t as soon as you feel the least bit run down. It will supply your blood with the food it needs. You will get back into your stride and pick up again You will go through your working days feeling fit and able to get things done, to achieve and get ahead. Thousands are doing it every day.

MR. DODSON WARNS USERS OF CALOMEL Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite on Liver and You Lose
 Days Work.

There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calo- mel when a few cents buys large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone--a per- feet substitute for calomel.
 It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but 1t doesn't make you sick and can not saliVate.
 Children and grown folks can take nodson's Liver Tone, because it IS per fectly harmless.
 Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones Take dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick Snd nauseated to- morrow. Don't lose days work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipa- tion, sluggishness. headache. coated tongue or sour stomach.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS

First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calo- tabs, the Purified and Re- fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influenza can be depended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in the. teatment is the new nausealess calomel tablet called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calo- mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in enabling the patient to succ essfully withstand an attack and ward off pneumonia

 Ferns is a ringer and weighs 140 pounds, but we are going to take a crack at him. He has already knocked Larry Avera out, and Walk Miller picked him out for the sole purpose of beating Freddie.

JOHNNY WILSON COMES
 FROM OUT OF HIS SHELL

Johnny Wilson, who bears the title of middleweight champion of the world, fought in defense of his title last night and won. Matched with Joe Chip, he had little difficulty in out pointing his opponent "a dispatch states.
 Wilson has stated that he is will ling to meet Mike O'Dowd or any other middleweight, for a price. As Is well known, Wilson won the middle weight title when O'Dowd, former ti- tie holder, was apparently asleep. The southpaw boxer won the decision from Mike when such thing was not thought possible.
 Since acquiring the title Wilson has been in semi-retirement, fighting only a very few battles. He is out of his shell now, though, if his managers re- ports and promises are true.
 The bout last night was not such an important one, but it bears one signifi- cance--Wilson seems at last willing to take on the topnotchers and is will ling to risk his crown. Joe Chip is not an easy opponent by any means, and in beating him Wilson makes a be- ginning toward earning the respect due champion from the boxing, pub lie.
