The Very Next Dose of this
Treacherous Drug may
Start Trouble

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. It crashes INTO sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel 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 bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone for a
few cent which is a harmless vege-
table substitute for dangerous Gallo
mel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn't stat your liver and
strai2ntcn you up better and quick
er than nasty calon.el and with
out making you sick, you must go
back and get your money,
Font take calomcll 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
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 cannot sail

it would be sufficient ground to
relieve the plaintiff from any
further obligation to the loan
companies involved
Inscriptions loan sharks
fatten on the ignorant and as a
rule their victims are among
those least able to bear their ex-
tortionate charges. When one
finds himself shackeled by one
of this gentry he should apply
to a reputable lawyer, who, nine
times out Of ten, will extricate
him from his trouble and at the
same time expose those human
hogs who are practicing a ne
farious profession that is inhu-
man and illegal.
In many cities public prosecu-
tors have been provided to aid
in such cases and wherever this
has been done the teeth of the
loan shark are pulled and he is
forced to reform or move out.
There are times when one
must have few dollars and the
demand is so insistent, the ne
'cessity so great, that the borrow
er agrees to pay more than he
can often repay to meet the
emergency. IF he had only
started a small savings account
in some reputable bank, laying
aside d dollar or two each week,
he would have something to fall
back on when sickness or death
or other emergency arises. A few
dollars laid away is the best pol
icy in the world against the loan
shark.
And the time TO start is next
pay day.

Z = IT Q RIAL s

nothing more than the statement
Of Iong-obvious fact when he said
that in the event of war in the
Pacific, Britain and America would
be on the same side.
1t is at least true that if America
were in such a war, Britain would
be on cur side. The converse may
not be so certain. If Britain were
in such war, America would prob
ably try to keep out Of it. Of course
it would not succeed; bat the proc
css of realizing international inevi-
tables works slowly in America.
The real point is that there need
be no war at all in the Pacific, with
Britain ard America either in or
cut of it. Unlike the Atlantic, the
Pacific situation is simple.
There are only three naval pow
ers in the Pacific, Britain, America
and Japan. Agreement between
these three, not to fight each other,
and to keep their naval establish
ments impotent for aggression and
invincible for defense, is easy. To
considerable extent, it already eX-
lists. and, with increasing under
standing, it can be made stronger.
Between themselves, they can
thus insure peace. As to all others,
their interests are common, and this
fact, properly recognized, can also
assure peace. The problem of the
Pacific may not be easy but it IS
simple.

Fundamentals already.
Let it rather compete somewhere

1t is an old struggle, and it never
ends Bacon tells the story of an
order of priests who undertook to
learn how many teeth a horse has.

ton. Finally, a guileless neophyte
suggested getting a horse and count
ing the teeth. CONSERVATION reign
ed "Satan hath tempted this bold
neophyte to declare unholy and un-
heard-of ways of finding truth, con-
trary to the teachings of all the
fathers"
SO the number Of teeth in a
horses mouth was declared to be
"an everlasting mystery, because of
grievous dearth Of historical and
theological evidence" From Bacon.
through Darwin, to Scopes, rash
neophytes have still been insisting
on counting horses teeth. Surely,

large and appreciative congregation
at Concord On last Sunday.
The Woman's Missionary Society
of Plains has recently made some
additions to the parsonage dishes
and purchased additional screens.
Mrs. S. T. Bradford and Miss
Matte Lou Stubs have been re-
ceived into the New Point church
by certificate.
The revival at New Point will
come to a close with to-night's serv-
ices. The congregations have been
unusually large, the preaching, done
by Rev. C. NJ. Ledbetter, has been
most interesting and helpful and
much good, no doubt, has been done
There will be no services at any
of the churches in Plains next Sun
day except at the Methodist church.
The members of the other two con-
gregations are asked to worship with
the Methodists at both hours. All
Methodists are urged to be present
and give the visitors a hearty vel
come.
The pastor wishes to take this OPP
portunity to thank all those who
made a contribution to the piano
fund at New Point. The money has
been well invested and the New
Point people are real proud of the
piano, it having been paid for in
full.

Pulling the Loan
Sharks Teeth

Charging more than three and
a half per cent interest per
month on d loan is usury in the
State Of Georgia and the Dor
rover under such conditions is
under no legal obligation to re-
pay the loan, the Supreme
Court Of Georgia ruled in a de
c.sion recently handed down.
The case was an appeal from
Fulton county. The higher
court reversed Judge Z. ..
Thomas in dismissing on a gen
e,al demurrer the case of one
Q. M. Davis against Atlanta
loan brokers. In a news story
OF the case we learn
Davis, who had borrowed mon
ev from several loan concerns on
salary assignments, alleged in
his petition that the brokers, by
manipulation of fees and broker
age charges, had charged him
more than three and one-half
per cent per month interest. file
also alleged that during period
OF months he had repaid to the
lenders fer more than the oriei-
nal loan, plus the interest charg-
q. and on that basis sought re-
lease from further obligation.

But with Rotary it was differ

delegate bought a drink.

check, which proved to be worthless,

pany of Minot in payment for a

assert is the probable filing of
charges. Police are Investigating to
ascertain whether or not worthless
checks have been issued by Hender-
son in the city. .
Immediately after receiving the
check, officials of the REM company
telegraphed to bank at Medicine
Lake, Montana, on which the instru-
ment was written; and received the
reply that Henderson had no funds
in the bank.
Henderson, at the time of giving
the check for the purchase of the
car, according to company officials
said that he would call for it d
couple of days later. He also gave
instructions that the car should be
fitted out with bumpers and Other
accessories. When the REM compan,
became aware of the fact that the
check was worthless, they notified
the police and Henderson was taker
into custody by Patrolman Franz

Minneapolis, Jan. 24.-"Not so

er of Gilby, N. d., today in Min

lambs which brought the top of the
market, $lS.25 hundredweight.
Scott compared the sale today with
the first sale on the South st. Paul
market in 1890 when two carloads
sold at $500 "a hundredweight and
brought a total of less than $1,000.
Mr.. Scott said some farm prices
are not equal to prices of things the
farmer must buy, but that others
are quite as high. He said the dis
parity is not as great as generally
believed.
