CALOMEL SATIVATFS
AND LO0SENS TEETH
The Very Next Dose of This Treach-
erous Drug May Start Trouble

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Caomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious. headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substl-
tute 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.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next dav; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.

LIBERALITY

The Mayor of New York, in
pursuance Of a resolution OF
the Common Council, has for
warded Three Thousand Dollars
out Of the Treasury of that city,
for the relief Of their distressed
countrymen on the Niagara
frontier. This instance Of liberal
charity accords with the char
acter which the city of New
York has uniformly sustained;
and we hope will be emulated by
the wealthy cities of other parts
of of the Union.
The bill to encourage enlist
ments by INCREASED bounties,
has passed both Houses of Con-
gress, and will no doubt become
a law.
The bill to prohibit the de-
livery of libelled goods to the
persons claiming to own them,
has passed the House, and is be-
fore the Senate.
The bill to prohibit the ran
son of vessels taken by the
enemy, has passed to a third
reading in the House, and will
no doubt pass that body.

Development OF the
Will-tO-dO
Says That City Needs Most OF All a
:. and of Civic Responsibility

Mrs. Margaret Lee Horner, CHAIR
man of the committee of uniform laws
concerning women OF the virginia
State League of Women Voters states
that she heartily approves OF al the
improvements that are to be held be-
fore the ewes of the public by the Ga
zette and that she thinks that the main
thing all need at the present time IS
the real wish for a bigger and better
city. -, co4o
Alexandria campaign she says,
shave certainly mapped out wonder
full prospectus. Of course, each of us
has our own pet scheme for the i'm
provement of our city. Some of US
think that one of our greatest needs
is to have once more probation OF
ficer; some a police-woman, while still
others think that curfeW law that
will take little children from the
streets and see them safe at home and
perhaps abed at reasonable hour,
would be of inestimable value.
"But | am sure that one and all of
us would be unutterably pleased and
proud to see the desired improve
ments daily enumerated in the Ga
zette, an accomplished fact So it
seems that the most important thing
for each of US, and the one funda-
mental necessity for procuring them
is to find out just how we can get
them. And here is what it seems to
me to be-to really want them badly
enough.
"The Gazette daily presents to US
the vision-a greater Alexandria, with
improved paving. great White Way,
a modern 7. M. c. A. Building, new
public School, more Fairgrounds, 500
homes or apartments, etc. Any one
of them would make for a greater
Alexandria, and we can have any and
all of them if we only want them bad
ly enough. That we haven't them only
means that we are satisfied not to
have them. Whenever any criticism
Of our city is mace. any uncompli-
mentarv remarks about conditions
here, the answer is so often. and it
seems to me with SO much truth, We'll,
the reople here are satisfied

ity and the spirit OF cooperation
each and every one of US is responsible
and it will require the cooperative ef
fort Of all to remedy them. If we
really want great Alexandria. let us
want it badly enough to work for it;
to wait for it, always believing that
what we earnestly desire we can have.
M GOOD thing. nothing worth having
ran be had, nor being had can be ap-

alexandria as it is, or as it will
be, can never be other than the out

PROPOSES PLANS
TO HANDLE COAL
Secretary Hoover Confers with Presi-
dent Harding Regarding
Distribution.

Washington, D. C. = Alternative
plans for the maintenance of fair prices
for coal and for its equitable distri-
were presented to President Harding
button during the post strike period
today by Secretary Hoover.
One plan as presented for the Presi-
dents approval was understood to pro-
vide for the creation of federal fuel
distribution agency along the lines of
the voluntary machinery operating UNI
der federal Fuel Distributor Spencer.
1t also would authorize the interstate
commerce commission to assume great
er powers in the assignment of freight
cars.
The other proposal is understood to
provide for the creation of a coal
purchasing corporation which wuld sta
bilize fuel prices by the fixation of a
fair price for coal bought and sold by
the government.

motor boat in which they were making
their way from Sturgeon Bay to Mil
waukea went on the rocks four miles
north of North Point. The boat hit
some submerged rocks and put the

managed to get into telephone con-
nection with Captain Kincaid of the
Milwaukee Coast Guard who later went
out with his men and rescued Schnei-
der who was clinging to the nearly sub
merged boat. Later the Coast Guard
managed to raise the boat and it was
pulled up on the beach near North
Point. The two men were taken to
Milwaukee where they are being cared
for.
Werner and Schneider had left Keno

CRUDE BLACKHANDER
ISEASILY LANDED
Cedarburg Youth Who Sought to Get
Money from Milwaukee Doc
tor is Taken.

Milwaukee, Wis. = His crudeness of
operation at the time honored Black
hand method of extortion led to the
arrest of Melvin Boehme, II, Cedar
burg youth last night in the exclusive
east side residential district of Mil
waukee. Boehme was captured after
hand to hand struggle with detectives
who risked injury from stilletto
which he carried.
Boehme had written note that was
delivered by small boy to DIR. Lewis
Tisdale. It demanded that the doctor
place $500 near the door of his garage
at 9 p. m. Tuesday night, or suffer the
firing of his home and garage and the
ultimate murder of himself and fam
lily.
Boheme told Captain McCrory he is
the youngest of six children of Will
liam Boehme. The only reason he
could assign for attempting to obtain
money from DR.. Tisdale was that he
wanted the fun of spending it.

Plan to Appeal
Divorce Suit
Louis Hansmann to Appeal Divorce
Granted to Wife on Grounds That
Marriage Was Void.

Judge Robert Verne Baker, who is
attorney for Louis Hansmann, declared
today that plans were under way to file
an appeal in the Hansmann, divorce
suit, in which Judge Quinlan recently
handed down a decree granting a di-
vorce to Mrs. Emma Hansmann, with a
property settlement of $1,000. 1t was
stated that the appeal would be based
on. the contention made in the trial
that the marriage was void, due to the
fact that the ceremony had taken place
in Illinois. Therefore it will be asked
that the supreme court determine
whether an annulment or divorce
should be granted. A transcript of the
evidence in the case has been taken,
and the appeal will be filed shortly, ac-
cording to statements of Attorney
Baker. The appeal will halt the pay
ment of the settlement pending the
outcome of the case in the supreme
court,

the old lady said when she kissed

Thi is neither here nor there, and
has nothing particularly to do with
Mrs. Violet Durant Holat, whose pre-
liminary hearing on the charge of be-
ing prostitute was held in the NUM-
cipal court this morning, or with Frank
Mischo, poor unfortunate said not
to be quite mentally responsible for
his actions, facing a statutory charge
in connection with her, or with Arthur
Metten, charged with pandering. Mis-
cho was bound over to the next term
of the municipal court, bonds fixed at
$500, and the woman was alikewise
bound over, and on failure to furnish
bonds was taken over to the county
Jail to await trial.
Metten, whom the state holds is. re-
sponsible for bringing the woman here
and for purposes of prostitution, will
have his preliminary hearing on Sep
TENDER ~. The case is one of the
most drab and sordid to be brought
into the courts.

Los Angeles.-Fr Oesterreich, gar

waukee, Wis, was shot and killed in
his home here last night, presumably
by burglars. He and~his wife had re-
turned to their residence after visiting
friends. Mrs. Oesterreich went up
stairs, turned on the lights in her bed
room and stepped toward a closet. I'm
mediately she was seized and thrust
into the closet and the door locked be-
hind her. She thought her husband
was playing joke on her and she
called out "Quit your fooling." There
was no response and the next she heard
was three shots downstairs. Neighbors
rushed into the house and found Oes-
terreich dead with one bullet wound in
his temple and two in his breast
