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 exces-
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. 1t is mercury ;
quicksilver.
II 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 harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a 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'u be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it 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.

JOBS GO TO Ex-SERvICE MEN
Government to Give Employment
to Former Soldiers.

The British Legion, formed from
three veteran organizations with con-
stitution and bylaws modelled after
the American Legion, has secured
promise from the English government
that in public works for the benefit of
the unemployed 20 per cent of the
jobs shall be given ex-seryice men.
With King Georges approval, the
Legion works through Britain's con-
sulates and all employers showing a
preference for eX-service men are per-
mitted a special seal and their names
are Inscribed on the Kings Roll.
The British Legion, sponsored by
Field Marshal Haig, came into being
in July, 1919. II has 1900 posts and
a membership running into millions,
is nOnsectarian. nonpolitical and one
Of its Ideals is the sanctifying "of our
comradeship by devotion To mutual
service and helpfulness." 1t is pre-
pairing To send unemployed ex-service
men TO British Columbia and Austria
liza, where they will be welcomed.
The ultimate goal Of the Legion"
says Lord Haig, must be the uplift-
ing of the whole empire, the creating
of happier and more God-fearing
community"

In reality, a motion picture actor
far better known than the one ques.

women stars are mentioned.
II was learned that police rest their
hopes of a solution Of the mystery on
a series of tiny ridges and whorls and
loops. the faint lines made on the
smooth surfaces OF doors and tables
and chair arms in the coy bachelor
flat where Taylor lived, on finger

obtained from a band of dope peddIers
they are watching, and on the arrest
OF Taylor's former valet, Edward F.
Sands.
The finger prints, though, are the
most reliable clews so far found and
in them rests the fate of some of the
prettiest stars in the movie colony.
1t is impossible to tell the finger
print of man from that of woman
but an expert might be able to make
a good guess from the size and shape
of the print, and it seems that a num-

WILSON REMAINS
NEUTRAL ON TREATY
WILL NOT MAKE ANY FIGHT ON
THE RESULTS OF THE
CONFERENCE.
SILENCE is THE FORECAST
Ex-President Does Not Think II Ad-
Visable to Interfere With Con-
oress-Underwood Will Be
Questioned by Democrats.

hingtOn-FOrmer President VIII
son is not expected TO indicate any
public attitude, either for or against
the treaties growing out of the disarm-
ament conference, according TO some
of his friends in the senate. Until the
present time it was believed probable
that Mr.. Wilson would fully outline
his views for the benefit OF the coun-
try and senators, but it was said that
he will maintain a position of neutral
ity and silence.
1t is explained by Mr.. Wilson,
friends that the former president is
ranidly being restored to general pub
lie favor and that it would be unwise
for him to arouse popular sentiment
IL one direction or the other while this
process of rehabilitation is in progress
1t would not be advisable for the ex-
president to play politics, although it
is not unbecoming for his friends in
the senate to do so.
The positive belief now prevailing
that Mr. Wilson will give nc advice
regarding disapprovaI or ratification
of the arms parley treaties may cause
a general disruption of the opposition
that has been built up largely on that
impression. 1t makes its easier for
the democratic leaders who favor fol
lowing public sentiment in this matter
They can stand aside and permit the
republicans TO approve the treaties
and place their action on the high
plane Of nOn-partisanship
The disintegration of this opposition,
which was estimated among the demo
Gratis alone at % votes, may mean the
smoothing Of a pathway for treaties.
1t might resultsin leaving but mere
handful Of former irreconcilables on
each side to battle alone. with final
defeat certain. While this condition
has not actually arisen, surface indi-
cations are pointing in that direction.
The democratic senators adhere to
their agreements that no definite opin-
ions shall be announced until after
hearing Minority Leader Underwood
fully explain all the various pacts re-
sulting from the arms parley. In adj
dition Mr. Underwood would be open
for questioning after the presentation
OF his explanations.
