EVEN CAREFUL
CALOMEL USERS
ARE SALIvATED
Next Dose of TreaCherous Drug
May Start Misery
for You.

Calomel Is dangerous. 1t may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and excess
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. 1t is mercury /;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take q 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; besides,
1t may salivate you, while If you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is per-
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

Mothers Ruin
Babies Health
BY Harsh Drugs

There are thousands Of children and
grown-ups whose health has been
wrecked simply because they were
given strong laxative cathartics when
a baby.
Baby often needs something to clean
out the little bowels of clogged waste,
but for goodness sake give him med
icine made especially for a baby. Give
him Teethina. It's perfectly harmless
and yet brings quick relief without
hurting the tender little intestines like
the strong drugs you use for yourself
do when given to the little folks.
Teethina is indorsed by physicians
and has been used for fifty years.
Get it at your druggist, or send 30c
to the Moffett Laboratories, Columbus,

HARDING SHIFTS
ON BONUS BILL
CONSIDERED LEADING DOMESTIC
ISSUE BEFORE COUNTRY.
s7sTATEsWoULD PAY BONUS
Presidents Friends Advise Him to
Take Initiative in the Matter Of
Adjusted Compensation for
Soldiers Of World War.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and sol
der bonus were of sufficient impor-
tance in the last elections as to be
considered by political Washington az
the leading domestic issues before the
country at present. President Hard
ing has limited that there is a shifting
of views on prohibition and there are
rumors that he himself will do some
shifting on the bonus.
Authorized spokesmen for the pres
ident say he will veto any bill passed
ey congress dissimilar to the one put
up to him earlier this year. But be-
fore that time comes something con-
crete in the way OF bonus proposal
may be expected from the executive.
Whether mention will be made of the
subject In the message to, be read to
congress at the regular session in De-
cember is not yet determined, but
there are many among the presidents
friends who advise him to take the
initiative in the matter of adjusted
compensation for the soldiers and pro-
pose that his party can unite on.
The latest suggestion which has
quarters, though 1t cannot be said
that Mr.. Harding will be won over
to it, is one that looks to the federal
government and the states to enter
into combination of a sort of $3.50

Twenty-seven out of 48 represent

ASK RIVER RATE EXTENSION.
War Department Would Offer a Saw
ing to More Shippers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF the ter
ritory from which and to which joint
railroad rates with the Mississippi
Warrior barge line will aTply, was urg-
ed at hearing before the full mem
bership of the interstate commerce
commission. The case was taken un-
der advisement. From questions and
the general attitude of the commis-
sioners it is believed they are favora-
BILE to the proposal.
The war department. which oper-
ates the barge line, asked that the pres
ent boundaries on southDound freight,
which now are the ohio-P Pennsylvania
line on the east, and the Missouri riv-
er on the west, be extended both
ways, and that northbound rates be
made effective from points in Texas
and Oklahoma on one side and Ala
bama and Missippi points on the 9TH
-er. The department also asked that
the Warrior rates be made to include
whole Of Alabama coal field and
that ratesN on merchandise also be
fixed there.
Luther Walter, Of Chicago, well
known throughout the Mississippi val
ley as a. rate expert, argued the ease.

NEWBERRY, COP.
MILESTONE QUITS
RESIGNS BECAUSE OF COL
LEAGUE TOWNSHIPS DEFEAT.
SAYS HIS NAME is CLEAR
Senator, Long object Of Controversy
In Senate, Declares He Has
"Fought the Fight and Has
Kept the Faith"

Washington.-Trum H. Newber-
ry of Michigan, whose right to a
place in the Senate which has been
a subject Of long and bitter contro-
'yersy, has submitted his resignation
with request that 1t become effect
i've Immediately.
In a letter to Gov. Groesbeck, Mr..
Newberry said he had been impelled
to retire voluntarily because of de-
feat of his Republican colleague, Sem
ator Townsend, in the election Of Nov.
z. The turn of events, he said, would
make it futile" for him to attempt
to continue his service, since he
would be continually "hampered by
partisan political persecution"
Reviewing the outstanding features
of the controversy which grew ont
of his election four years ago over
Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent,
he declared his right to seat in the
Senate had been fully confirmed"
He added that if, in the future
there seemed to be opportunities TOT
public service, he would not hesitate
to offer himself to his state and his
country. The resignation brings to
an end a fight which already has
been political history and which It
appeared would be resumed early in
the session of Congress.
Convicted in Michigan of a con-
spiracy to violate election laws, Sena-
tor Newberry appealed to the SUI
preme court, which declared uncon-
stitutional the statute under which
he was accused. The Senate itself,
after long investigation, finally con-
firmed his title to seat by margin
of five votes. In the campaign just
closed the case was an issue in many
states.
A copy Of the resignation sent to
Gov. Groesbeck was delivered to Vice
President Coolidge by Walter R. Der
sey, Mr.. Newberry's secretary. Mr..
Newberry himself is at his home in
Detroit. The letter to the governor
was as follows:
II tender herewith my resignation
as United States senator from Michi-
gan to take immediate effect.
"I am impelled to take this action
because at the recent election not
withstanding his long and faithful
public service and his strict adher-
ence to the basic principles Of con-
structive Republicanism which L hold
in common with him, Senator Town
send was defeated. While this fail
ure to re-elect him may have been
brought about in part by over four
years of continuous propaganda Of
misrepresentation and untruth, fair
analysis of the vote in Michigan and
other states where friends and polit-
ical enemies alike have suffered de-
feat, will demonstrate that general
feeling of unrest was mainly respon-
sible therefor.
"This situation renders futile fur
ther service by me in the United
States Senate, where have consist
emily supported the progressive poli-
cies of President Harding's admins
tration. My work there has been and
would continue to be hampered by
partisan political persecution and I
therefore eheerfu1ly return my COM
mission to the people from whom I
received 1t.
