over the anti-beer bill will begin with
renewed vigor in the senate when
congress reconvenes tomorrow, it was
indicated today.
While the tax bill, as one of the
major tasks of congress, overshadow

basis for spectacular fight that will
be carried on throughout the tax de-
bate.

of the state and the remedies for
the conditions.
The dairymen met next at 4 p. M.
and elected Floyd c. Newton as their
head. Professors Fain and Jarni-
gan, of the state college also gave
very instructive outlines of this
work to those present.

ers' meetings and has succeeded in

SCIENTIST BUILDS
GIANTS INTO NEW
BY C. c. LYON

COLUMBUS Ohio.-Maybe the day
is already here when short men can
make six-footers out of themselves
merely by taking a few pills.
Science has recently achieved some
wonderful results along the line of
growth control. And it is OH the
verge of further important disrov--
cries.
Nothing could be more amazing
than the cases of the two Espenschied
children, of New Philadelphia--An
May, 10 years 6 months old, and.
Bertha, 9 years months.

tina as a four-year-old.
ClasSed as Cretins
They were not dwarfs They were
classed as cretins. From infancy
they had failed to grow, either phys,
fession studied them frequently, but
failed to find the secret.
In September, 1920, the two
babies" were br9ught to the state de
bureau OF .1V6n1lG research anu
placed under observation by DR.. H.
l.. Goddard, mead of the institution.
Goddard is not a physician, put he
is recognized as one of the worlds
greatest psychologists.
Goddard soon announced that the
children had no thyroid glands.
The question came from all quar-
ters: What have thyroid glands to
do with it?"
"The thyroid" said Goddard, as
I<r1@ IL IT.
it has been known to have a distinct
effect upon growth and it has been
known that cretlnism Failure to
grow has been due either to the abb
sence or disease of this gland"
Goddard hit upon the idea of feed
tract of thyroid glands taken from
| lambs and bullocks.
The extract" was prepared in the
form of pills End the mother, Mrs
home with instructions to give then:
each nine pills day-three at each

Bertha hasn't grown so fast phys

of a normal four-year-old child, but

"a year ago my two little girls had
the bodies and minds of mere babies,
while now they are really 'gr owing

amazing in so short O. time. I am
confident that in few years, under

Mrs. Espenschied has an older
! daughter, Freda, who is normal in
| every respect and who, at IL years
of age, is in the eighth grade at

Another remarkable instance Of
forced growth through the feeding
of thyroid gland extract is that of

Moroccan guns have been mounted
on the military road from Sld!-
Hamed to Tahia, along which NUM-
lions are brought through the noun

The number of Moroccans In the
hills around Gourougou apparently
has been reduced and now they are

CALOMEL TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose of nasty caIomeI makes
you sick and you lose
a days work

Calomel salivates! It's mercury
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nau-
sea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get a bottle
of Dodsons Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's 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

Chaplain of Destroyer Fleet
Says He Has Never Seen
Worse Conditions

Columbia, Nov. 10.-Charleston's S
moral situation is bad, according
to- a report made to Governor
Cooper, in a letter received by the
chief magistrate today from Rev.
Walter Mitchell, rector OF Porter
Military Academy, on behalf Of the
Ministerial Union of Charleston
Rev. Mitchell quotes; Chaplain Day.
senior chaplain Of the navy, who
is in Charleston in connection with
the destroyer fleet now stationed in
the Charleston harbor, to the ef-
feet that he has never seen con-
ditions worse in any city where he
has been stationed. Mr.. Mitchell
quotes Chaplain Day as saying that
last Saturday night he saw at least
two hundred drunk men on the
streets Of Charleston. He describ-
ed the. kind of whiskey which the
fnen are drinking, and says that it
is Of such mean quality as to
make the men who get drunk on
it dangerous.
Mr.. MitchelFs letter to the gov
ernor was written, following a
meeting Of the Charleston minis
ters. when the cha plain made his
complaint Of conditions. Chaplain
Day referred to statement made
some time ago by Admiral Ander-
son, to the effect that unless the
Christian zen of Charleston saw
to it that the city was cleaned up
the feet would be taken away.
