Although residents of Georgetown, Del, have been warned many times in the past that city ordinances must be obeyed, it was discovered by members of the New Century Club, who wished to make a study of the municipal laws, that there wasn't copy of the ordi- nances in the entire city. The council has promised to collect them and have them printed so that everyone may know what they have been obeying for the past few years.

CALOMEL GOOD
 BUT TREACHER0US
Next Dose May Salivate, Shock Liver or Attack Your
 Bones.

You know what calomel is. It's mer- cury; quicksilver. Calomel is danger ous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get bottle of bod sons Liver Tone for few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty caIomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give 1t to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can not salivate-Advertise

The Rifle CartridceS

The girl did not appear f0 the eve. ming meal. She had refused Tamada's suggestions through the door. Lund drank heavily, but without any effect, save to sink him in comparative si- lence, as he and Rainey sat together. after the Japanese had cleared the table
 We've got to git hold of those cartridges" Lund said, after long pause. "Carlsen had 'em planted somewhere, an it's likely in his room. Best thing to do is to chuck 'em over board. Cheaper to dump the cart ridges an shells than the rifles an shotguns.'
 Where is the magazine?' asked Raney
 Tn the little room aft O the galley. Wen look there first Come on."
 The strong room of the Karluk was a narrow compartment, heavily par titioned off from the galley and the corridor. There was a lamp there, and Rainey lit it while Lund closed the door behind them. The magazine WAS qulte empty.
 'Thorough man. Carlsen." said Lund Prepared for showdown. If necessary. Might have put 'em in the safe. Wonder If he changed the com bination? bet Simms didn't, year in an out. We'll tackle Carlsens room next. don't suppose you looked be- tween the bunk mattresses, did you?"
 ''I never thought of It." said Rainey. 'T didn't imagine there would be more than one"

 There was no answer. Lund looked uncertainty at Rainey.

 But he found it no easy matter to risk a shot in that swirling mass. They all seemed to be arm weary. Blows no longer rose and fell. Lund was slowly dragging the dead weight of men on the deck still lay there. Kidneys opponent was trying to get up, wiping clumsily at the blood on his face, blinded. A man broke loose from the scrimmage, on the opposite side from .Rainey, who barely recog- nized the disheveled figure with the bloody, battered face as Deming. The hunter had managed to get hold of Lund's gun. Rainey's aim was screened by sudden lunge of the huddle of men. He saw Lund heave, saw his red face bob up, mouth open, roaring once more. saw his leg come up in a tremendous kick that caught Deming's outleveling arm close to the elbow, saw the gleam of the gun as it streaked up and overheard, and Deming stag. gering back, clutching at his broken limb, cursing with the pain, to bring up against the rail and shout to the seamen:
 Get into 1t, you d--d towards Get into it, and settle him "
 Even in that instant the sarcasm of the cry of towards" struck home to Ralney. The next second the girl had jumped by him, a glint of metal in her hand as she brought it out of her blouse. This time she saw him. Come on!' she cried. And darted between the fighters and the storming figure of Deming, who tried to grasp her with his one good arm, but failed
 Rainey sped afeer her just as Lund reached the mast. The girl had nickled pistol in her hand and was threatening the sullen line of irreso- lute seamen. Rainey with his gun was not needed. He heard Lund shout out in triumphant cry and saw him battering at the heads of three who still clung to him.
 All through the fight Lund had kept his head, struggling to the purpose he had finally achieved, to reach the mast-rack of belaying pins, seize one of the hardwood clubs and, with this weapon, beat his assailants to the deck.
 He stood against the mast. his clothes almost stripped from him, the white of his flesh gleaming through the tatters, streaked with blood Save for his eyes, his face was no longer human, only mass of flayed flesh and clotted beard. But his eyes were aight with battle and then. as Rainey gazed they changed Something of surprise, then of delight. leaped into them, followed by burning flare that was matched In those of the girl who, with Rainey herding back the sea men, had turned at Lund's yell of vic tory.

Oeming Breaks an Arm.

Rainey, dozing in his bunk, going over the sudden happenings of the day. had placed Carlsen's automatic under his pillow after loading it. He found that it lacked four shells of full capacity. the two that Lund had fired at his bottle target, the one fired by Carlsen at Rainey, and the last iAef- fective shot at Lund. a shot that went astray, Rainey decided, largely through Lund's coup-de-theatre of tearing of his glasses and hingiag them. at the doct/-.

Mr.. Harman claimed.

suggested the attorney, stating that
Mr.. Lyman has himself and his

do that is by taking the matter be-
fore a jury.
Mr.. Harman argued that II Is not
he personally who Is casting sus-
picion on Mr.. Lyman. but that II is
the law that casts suspicion upon a
craftsman n-benehclary OF a will and
requires satisfactory proof that
there Is no fraud.
When a man is so indiscreet as to
write a will in which he benefits. he
must take the odium that surrounds
him by law, and. II possible. he
must clear himself Of that suspicion,
declared Mr.. Harman. The way to
get rid Of the suspicion is by proving
that the will was read to the testator
after Its being drafted.
Relative to whether the will was
read by Mr.. Lyman TO Mr. .Sharples
after the former had written it, Mr.
Harman demanded, Are you golnl
to believe Mr.. Lyman or Mr.

that he felt it had been clearly es-
tablished that the case should &C
