frankly. The question struck him as a
mean attack. He wondered how Widg-

smiling quietly and polishing his spec

CALOMEL GOOD
But NEXT DOSE
MAY SALIVATE
1t is Mercury, Quicksilver, Shocks
Liver and Attacks
Your Bones

Calomel salvation is horrible. 1t
swells the tongue, loosens the teeth
and starts rheumatism. There's no
reason why person should take sick
ening, salivating calomel when few
cents buys large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is pleasant vegetable
liquid which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, but it. doesn't
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drug, be-
sides it may make you feel weak, sick
and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose
a days work. Take a spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No salts
necessary. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than treacherous calomel your
money is waiting for you.

ARTHUR NASH AND
HIS MILLION DOLLARS

In this closing days of this month
the A. Nash Clothing Company, of
Cincinnati, win declare a stock divi-
dend of one million dollars. In lit
tie more than five years an investment
of 100000 has grown to one of a
million, practically all of it earned
by the factory in that time. The in
crease Of business shows no signs of
diminution and great new factory
building is now in course Of erection.
In this five years the number of
workers has grown from thirty to
more than four thousand. The ,wo-
men workers are now on a five-day
week of seven hours per day and the
men are on a forty-hour week. The
earnings of the wage earners are per-
haps the highest in the garment in
dustry and they have absorbed more
than 100000 worth of the concerns
stock. Mr.. Nash has consistently sold
them stock at par even when others
offered two to one for it. His desire
is that they shall some day own it
all and he himself "be the only hired
man in the plant" He personally
owns 100000 of the stock. The
stock dividend Of one hundred per
cent to be declared soon will thus
make him more than a millionaire.
1t is his honest conviction that a pro-
Tossing Christian should not become
a millionaire. Great givers like Rock
efeller and Carnegie have said that it
is more difficult to give money away
than to make it. They did not mean
that it was not easier to give it away /;
any fool could get rid of it. The
question is one of wise giving, for it
is the height of unwisdom to give
something for nothing or so to give
as to create dependence; idleness or
selfishness. Arthur Nash is deter
mined not to become a millionaire

Georgia Second In
Number to Attend
Citizens Training

The War Department announces
the following results Of a recruiting
campaign conducted in the 4th Corps
Area which comprises the eight south
eastern states, to obtain candidates
for the Citizens Military Training
Camps to be held in this area July
3rd to August 1st at Fort Barrancas,
Fla, Camp Mcclellan, Ala, and Fort
Bragg, N. c.
On May 10Th Louisiana led al
states of the southeast with total Of
1920, with Georgia close second
with 971; next comes in order Flori-
da, S07; Tennessee TOO, South Caro-
limo 548, Mississippi $50, Alabama
$50, North Carolina 1923.
These figures represent the number
81 young men who have applied to at
tend the training camps, but before
any of them can be ordered to camp,
the regulations require that they be
innoculated against typhoid fever and
vaccinated against smallpox. Each
applicant must turn into the c. NJ. T.
c. officer, Red Rock building, Allan
Ia, Ca, certificate from his doctor
that he has been innoculated and vac
cinated. The order Of arrival Of these
certificates from doctors determines
the order in which they will be sent
to camp.
The numbers attending camps by
cities show Atlanta far in the lead
with Birmingham, Ala, second and
the little town of Prentiss, Mississip-
pi, third.
One remarkable feature of the APP
plications of this years camp is the
fact that practically 80 per cent of
the boys are high school boys, or are
attending college.
The athletic authorities are arrang-
ing very elaborate schedules not only
among local contestants in camp, but
an effort will be made to have such
celebrities as Stribling of Atlanta,
Carpenter, and other famous boxers
perform at the camps. An effort is
also being made to have at least one
of the Southern League baseball
games staged at Camp Mcclellan
Ala, during the eneampment.
