CALOMEL GOOD
BUT next DOSE
May SALIVATE
1t 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 rea-
son why person should take sicken-
ing, salivating calomel when a few
cents buys a large bottle Of Dodson's
Liver TOne-a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is a pleasant vegetable
liquid which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, 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 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.-Advertisement

1t is worth while to note those that are

In shapes, the round pillow leads In

no objection to certain family re-

er women, who have passed by the
era of romantic millinery and reached

wear. The hats pictured are both
brilliant and spirited, yet they are all
In black or quiet shades of color.
A little study of these models re-
veals that they have definite lines,
which the mode sponsors, along with

These are becoming to nearly every

The End of a Great Fighting Ship.

When il was announced that the
great battle cruiser Indomitable WIS to
be sold to the ship breakers, says a
contributor to the English Courtry's
Life, most people were astonished and
many were sorry. For the Indcmitablc
was the same ship that had made
virtually obsolete every armored
cruiser afoat.
There were three battle cruisers Of
her class-the Indomitable the In
flexible and the lnvincible They
were fast ships, and the range of their
guns was so great that they could
reduce an enemy's guns TO impotence
without getting under fire at all them
selves.
In the battle Of Jutland the Invincible
was lost with gallant Sir Horace Hood
and almost all her crew. The Inhex-
ible now alone remains Of the splcn.
did three, and her career, too, will
soon be ended The lessons of the
war have made the life of the Indom-
liable very short. She was completed
only in 1908, and she is the first
of the dreadnoughts to be condemned
All of the glorious ships that were
the pride of the British navy only 4
few years ago will soon disappear.
The ordinary life Of big ship was
recently twenty years, but now all
such ships more than seven years of
age are passing into reserve
There are some points in the history
of the Indomitable that should be
placed on record In the very prime
of her service, when King George,
then Prince of Wales, was returning
from Quebec, the new battle cruiser
left that port on July 20, 1908, and
reached Cowes, England, on August 3,
From Belle Isle TO the Fastnet she
steamed one thousand six hundred ard
eighty-four miles in sixty-seven hours,
or at mean rate of 25.13 sea miles an
hour. Then came other service and
the war. Toward the end of 1914 the
lndomitable returned from the Medi-
terranean and fought in the North Sea
under the command OF Capt F. w
Kennedy. She was in the battle OF
Jutland, where she was often hit, but
had no casualties. At the Dogger
Bank she helped to sink the Butcher
and afterwards she towed the disabled
Lion, the flagship of Sir David Beatty

Game Laws WorkIno Well.

Wild duck and wild geese since the
federal migratory bird law took full
effect under special treaty with
Canada and Great Britain, have been
steadily increasing. They have grown
more tame, too, and In places where
they have found welcome and where
they have been fed and protected they
now flock by the thousands. In the
city limits of Oakland, Cal, there is
n small lake where wild geese and
ducks have been fed, and within a
few years that lake, even though it be
within the city, has come to be the
mecca of thousands upon thousands
Of ducks which in previous years were
unseen there

Servi:e.

A dear friend tells ME that after
he had "Soldiered" for three years in
the Civil War he served for two NOR
years in the cavalry against the out
law Indians of the West. The life
was hard. On the plains he was waken-
ed up in the morning and where the
camp was the night before seen moth
ing except a level stretch of snow two
feet deep. He has seen the snow
heave here and there and numerous
white forms rise from it and pull out
their blankets from beneath it-his
companions in arms.
Another friend answered the call
IN the last war. He went cheerfully
ready to do his part as long as his
country needed him. But in few
short weeks, before he had started for
France, before he had even seen an
enemy, he was stricken down and died.
No, to say that he died is not enough.
He gave his life to his country; he
gave it just as willingly as the elder
man gave his five years of service, and
it was just as truly service, though
of another sort.
The Apostle John preached for per-
haps half a century. Faul spent the
best part of his life in three great mis-
sionary Journeys. Jesus died on the
Cross. Which service has meant most
for the world? We wish that our SCI.
der boy had been permitted to go to
the front and do glorious deeds in
battle, but God chose fer him that form
OF service which He chose for his own
Son.
The service of God is obedience. If
we have done Gods will, we nave
served. If we have not done his will.
we have not served, even though we
have lived and marched and suffered.

Large profits, taken from everyone
IN the shoe business from the tanner
down to the retailer, were disclosed
by the Federal Trade Commission in a
report to Congress. The Trade Com
mission report was in response to a
congressional resolution directing an
investigation of the high shoe prices
which prevailed during 1918 and 1919.
While the high shoe prices were largely
attributable to large profits, the re-
port of the commission declares that
the whole situation was "the result of
abnormal conditions and supply and
demand arising from the war which
were both economic and psychology
ical."
