Calomel salvation is horrible, 1t

and starts rheumatism. There's no rea-
son why person should take sicken-
ing, salivating calomel when a few
cents buys a large bottle of Dodsons
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is pleasant vegetable
liquid which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Calomel is dangerous drug, besides
it may make you feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take spoonful of Dod-
sons Liver Tone instead and you will
wake up feeling great. No salts nee
essary. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than treacherous calomel your

MAY DEPOSE VOLSTEAD
AS JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN

Plans to oust Representative Andrew
]. Voistead from the Craftsmanship of
the House judiciary committee when
the republican majority reorganizes in
the special session are gaining con-
siderable support among the House
leaders. The opposition to Mr.. Vol
, stead by the republican leaders Is on
the ground that he has gone back on
the republican party for the prohi-
bitionists. The opposition has the
support Of the wet" element.
1t is pointed out that in the special
election in Califoruia to chose 2 sue
water. who was killed in an automo-
bile accident, the republican candidate
is Maj. Lineberger, who has a brilliant
war record and is himself dry"
but Representative Volstead sent a
telegram to California urging the cleo
ton Of Representative Randall as i'm
portant toward preservation Of national
prohibition.
Randall has been the only prohibi-
Zionist in the House and has always
sat and voted with the democrats.
Tile republican leaders say that Vol
Stead should not oppose a. republican
candidate by supporting his prohibi-
ZIONIST opponent. especially as the re-
bAblican candidate himself is dry,
pAey also recall that Representative
owes his position in Congress more
to- the prohibitionist forces than to
the republicans. II he feels that way,
the republican leaders argue, he
should not be given any Of the honorv
the republicans may have to distribute
in the way of committee chairman
ships.
