OSCAR AUTHEMENT.

Mr.. Oscar Abatement, life
long resident of this parish, died
at his home, in the tenth ward,
below the Cut Off, last Wednes-
day morning, following an indis-
position of short duration. De-
ceased had reached ripe age,
and had been retired from the
calling of agriculture, which he
pursued, for some years. His
death was not unexpected, but
came as a surprise, save to those
close to the family, it not being
generally known that his condiii-
tion had become so serious. His
funeral was held at the Catholic
Church at Larose on last Thurs
day, and was well attended. De
ceased is survived by his widow.
and a number of children, among
the number, Messrs. PhilocleS.

of this parish, a number of grand
children, and other relatives. The
family have the sympathy of
their many friends.

Germany Still

According to Ex-Premier Gle
menceau, who is now visiting in
America, and who addressed a
monster audience in New York,
Tuesday last, Germany is prepar-
inng for another war in which she
will be joined by Russia, and Tur-
key. We are pretending to disarm,
are temporizing with Turkey, and
feeding starving Russia, yet the
Tiger" seems to be positive, and
is unquestionably sincere in the
belief he entertains. Germany is
turning out canons by the hum
dreds, and if she is, it is certainly
not to celebrate the Fourth of Ju-
ly.We presume however our State
Department, and our secret SER
vice, will be wise to these facts
before it is too late, unless they
have deterioriated from the for
mer excellent service rendered.

CALOMEL MAY TURN
ON YOU NEXT TIME.
Next Dose You Take may Sail
vate and Start World of
Trouble F..

Calomel is mercury; quicksilver.
1t crashes into sour bile like dy-
Mantle, cramping and sickening
yu. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be puSt into
your system.
If you feel bilious, headaehy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just GO to
your druggist and get bottle Of Dod-
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 fithout MAX
ing you sick you just go back and get
your money.
Don't take calomell 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or a
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you right up and makes YOU
feel fine. No salts necessary. Give it to
the children because it is perfectly
harmless and can not salivate.
