CALOMEL USERS

Next Dose of Treacherous
Drug may Start Misery

Calomel is dangerous. 1t may
salivate you and make you suffer
fearfully from soreness of gums,
tenderness of Jaws and teeth,
swollen tongue and excessive saliva
dribbling from the mouth. Don't
trust calomel. 1t is mercury; quick
silver.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get a
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for
a few cents which is harmless
vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take spoonful and II 1t
doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quick
er than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
II you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, 1t may salivate you, while
II you take Dodson's Liver Tone
you will wake up feeling great. No

today and that fact also ought to
serve to enlighten the democrats as
to where some of the money
went.
"Up here in this part of the
state" continued Mr.. Hill, which
is as thickly settled as any portion
of New Mexico, the people seem
to be entirely satisfied with the
republican administration. The
voters are not taking seriously the
charges that are being made. They
realize that the difficulties which
have beset the administration have
been such as would beset any adj
ministratiOn, and they also realize
that these difficulties have been
greatly added to by the disastrous
effects of the drought. The demo-
cratic effort to make campaign
thunder out of the dry condition
of the state has failed entirely and
the people are listening much more
readily to the pledges Of the te-
publicans than they are to the
pledges of the democrats.

COUNTY To HELP
CITY GET LANDS
FOR RIVER PARK
County Commission Orders
District Attorney to Start
a Condemnation Suit
AGAINST Land Owners.

Bernalillo county commissioners
will assist Albuquerque in the
building of Rio Grande park to the
extent of starting condemnation
proceedings against land needed
for the park and owned by Arno
and Ernestine Huning and others.
Upon the refusal of several
property owners to donate narrow
strips of land on the east bank of
the Rio Grande for the park, the
Albuquerque city commission start
ed condemnation proceedings in
the district court. seeking to con-
denim the land for park purposes
and TO have price set upon it.
The first case. that of the City of
Albuquerque against Arno and
Ernestine Huning, came up for
trial in the district court yesterday
and legal technicality arose
which may take years to thresh out
n the various courts. The point
IS, whether a city has the right to
secure condemnation of land not
within the city limits for park or
other public purposes.
Hoping to avoid delay in the es-
adjustment Of the much wanted
park the city officials appeared
before the county commissioners,
asking them to assist in the move
ment to secure another park for
the city and county by starting con-
demnation proceedings against
owners of land not situated in the
city and necessary for the compile
tlon OF the park. BY a resolution,
which was unanimously adopted by
the county commission, the district
attorney was instructed to start
such proceedings against the Hun
ing land and that owned by other
persons which is necessary for the
park and is situated outside of AL
buquerque.

Hundred Are Injured; Pit
ifuI Cries for Aid.

Spezia, Italy. Sept. 2S (by the
Associated Press )-The number of
dead 1t is feared will reach 144 in
the explosion today at Falconara
fort, near here, according to avail
able lists. Several hundreds have
been seriously injured. A majority
of the victime are still buried be-
meath the wreckage,
Pitiful cries for aid are heard
coming from beneath numerous
heaps of debris, but though the
rescue work is proceeding actively,
it will be some time time before
the last victims are eXtricated from
the wreckage of the immense num-
ber of houses which were razed.
Streams of injured are arriving
tonight in automobiles, trolley cars,
lorries and ambuances from the
scene of the explosion. Numerous
other injured persons are being
sheltered in schools, the waiting
rooms of the railway stations and
private houses. The hospitals are
filled.
Troops. firemen and civilians are
working hard to clear away the
wreckage. Their task is an almost
superhuman one.
Every tree within a radius OF
many miles of the explosion was
uprooted. All the windows in
Spezia were broken.

ately after the explosion, sent large
quantities of medical stores and
other first aid necessities to the

LOWER RATE ON
FEED PROM|SED
STOCK INDUSTRY
Railway Also Includes Cali
fornia and Arizona in
Emergency Rate Terri
tory.

Many New Mexico cattlemen
operating in the sections that have
been hurt by the drouth have come
to the conclusion that it will be
more profitable to winter their
cattle at home than to send them
to nearby states to which an
emergency freight rate has been
granted, This sentiment was dis
covered by the members of the
executive board of the New Mex
leo Cattle and Horsegrowers' asso-
citation Wednesday at State Col
lege. Many other growers are of
the belief that removal of cattle to
ranges that are better grassed is
imperative.
On the request Of the board, Gen.
eral Livestock Agent Treleaven of
the Santa Fe road, secured the con-
sent of his railway to the extension
of the emergency rate on livestock
to include the states of California
and Arizona. 1t is believed the
other railways, which were repre-
sented at the meeting, will do
likewise. The date the rates go
into effect is not known. The rate
gives a reduction of IS per cent.
Mr.. Treleaven also promised to
take up with his railway the grant
ing of a half rate on the importa-
ton of concentrated feeds, includ-
ing cotton seed cake, hay and grain.
If the rate is granted, the importa-
tions will be handled through the
extension department of the state
agricultural college, as was done
during the winter of 1918-19. 1t
was found at that time that the
services of the county agricultural
agents in handling the rate appli-
cations were satisfactory both to
the cattlemen and the railways.
The executive committee voted to
put the association on record as
favoring the retention of the coun-
ty agents as an urgent need, especi-
ally at the present, and letter to
that effect will be sent to the state
tax commission.
The legislative committee of the
association, it was announced, Will
be named soon, and will meet with
the board in February, when legis-
lative matters affecting the associa-
ton will be taken up. The recent
meeting did not discuss legislative
The association will be represent
ed at a meeting of the agricultural
federation in Albuquerque on No
vember 25. So far, it has not ac-
cepted invitations to join the fed
Grafton, which includes all organi-
cations in the state having to do
with the livestock and cattle in
terests.
The forest service announced
that it has decided to use in the
coming year the two-collection sys-
tenn of collecting range rentals,
which was tried this year for the
first time at the request of the
Cattle Growers association.

announced that the re-
duction on rentals of state lands,
hitherto somewhat restricted, had
been extended to include the entire

also explained that 81 per cent of
the county's money goes for
school purposes and 80 per cent
for roads making it a strictly
business mans problem to meet
the other expenses of the county
out of the remaining 19 per cent
OF the money.
Laws Good.
Governor M. c. Mechem de-
clared that the state had good laws
and especially good tax laws, but
that the operation of them de-
pended to a great extent upon the
individuals who operated under
them and he explained how three
quarters of a million dollars had
been saved through economy in the
school system. He urged strict
economy in all branches of the
county government and stated his
belief that the county commission
should be returned back to the
days when it was an honorary po-
sition carrying no pay.
since county commissioners
have been receiving a regular sal
ary, we have had as a general rule
poor commissioners" he
stated. However, the entire gov
work is improving and
will get better as the business men
become more and more interested
in it's operation" he concluded.
The City Plan.
City Commissioner Thomas
Hughes told the business men how
the city commission, made up of
dollar year men. had solved the
city's financial affairs and within
four years had paid up old debts
and put the city on a firm finan-
cial basis.
County Treasurer e. B. Swope,
who was called upon to speak
through the fact that he has on
several occasions saved the coun-
ty money during his term of office,
stated that as matter of fact the
county's condition was not so bad
as it would seem and upheld the
right of the commissioners to
transfer money from the interest
fund in time of emergency. He
urged the business men to get be-
hind the Rio Grande park project
which the county commission is
assisting the city in bringing to a
termination.
Col. George E. Breeze expressed
his belief that no cut should be
made in school and road work and
the business men to take
an active part in the government
of the city and county.
