The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel
is dangerous. It is mercury, quicksil-
ver. It crashes Into sour bile like dy-
namite, cramping and sickening 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 a bottle of ‘
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
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 with-
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.

An application for writ of habeas
corpus corpus was denied by the su-
preme court Saturday in the case of
ex parte Oscar Oleson from Stephens
county, and the relator was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff. The su-
preme court held that the trial court
had Jurisdiction and exercised it under
the process of law.
Oleson had been restrained by an
injunction issued by the district court
of Stephens county from selling any
intoxicating liquor, including the sale
of Jamaica ginger or the beverage
called "jake." He was committed to
jail for 120 days and heavily fined for
alleged violation of the injunction, and
he appealed to the supreme court, but
that tribunal denied his plea.
The supreme court did not decide
whether "jake” was an intoxicating
liquor. On this point the court sad:
“As to whether or not Jamaica ginger
or ‘jake’ or whatever the decoction
which was sold at relator’s place of
business was an intoxicating liquor
within the terms of our statute, and as
to whether liquor within the terms of
our statute, and as to whether or not
it was sold as a beverage, were all
questions of fact for the trial court to
pass upon."

Resignation of W. P. Ratchford as
United States deputy marshal was an-
nounced Saturday by Mr. Ratchford,
who stated he was leaving the service
of the government at the close of bum •
ness Sunday night. Mr. Ratchford an-
nounced that he will enter the service
of Stone, Gallagher & Gross. Inc., of
San Antonio, unit tax experts, who are
soon to begin a survey of properties
in Austin with a view of securing equi-
table taxation. Mr. Ratchford was be-
fore his entrance into the marshal's
office associated with tax assessing
compahfes and was for many years a
surveyor here.
Mr. Ratchford first came into the
marshal’s office as an appointee of
United States Marshal J. H. Rogers in
April, 1913, and served continuously at
that post until July, 1921. He was re-
appointed by United States Marshal D.
A. Walker when the administration
changed hands last year, but resigned
in July, 1921, to look after his private
affairs.
When Deputy Marshal P. A. Lock-
hart was elevated to the position of
United States commissioner by Judge
Duval West on April 1 in succession
to Roy C. Archer, resigned, Mr. Ratch-
ford became an applicant for the place
held by Mr. Lockhart. He received his
appointment from Marshal Walker on
April 4.
No successor to Mr. Ratchford has
been announced, but Marshal Walker
is expected to be in Austin early this
week to name tre new deputy marshal.
Securities of life insurance com-
panies deposited in the state treasury
as a protection to policy holders and
| for other purposes are taxable at the
। home office of such companies and not
by the city of Austin, held the state
supreme court Saturday in reversing
the judgment of the Third court of
civil appeals and affirming the judg-
ment of the district court of Travis
county in the case of the Great South-
ern Life insurance Company of Hous-
ton against the city of Austin. This
was a test case and the insurance
companies won out by the deciBion of
the supreme court.
This suit was filed in the district
court of Travis county in April, 1917,
by the city of Austin against the Great
Southern Life Insurance Company to
recover taxes alleged to be due on
certain securities deposited by the
company under the laws of Texas in
the state treasury. The city sued for
eight years’ back taxes, amounting to
$51,236. The district court rendered
judgment for the insurance company
and against the city* This judgment
was reversed and rendered in favor of
the city by the Third court of civil
a peals.
In reversing the judgment of the
court of civil appeals the supreme
court upheld the constitutionality of
section 38, chapter 108, acts of the
Thirty-first Legislature, passed in
1909, which provides that securities of
Insurance companies deposited in the
state treasury shall be taxed at the
home office of such companies. The
city of Austin contended that such se-
curities should be taxed where the
property is situated, and that the situs
was at Austin.
“That the Legislature has the power
to fix the situs for taxation of In-
tangible property at the domicile of
the owner,” said the court in its opin-
ion, "is evidenced, we think, by the
•tatutes enacted by the Legislature
from 1876 down, substantially, to the
present time. That the Legislature has
the authority to fix the taxable situs
of this class of property is clear from
the decisions of the courts of other
states and from the text writers.”
“We conclude,” added Chief Justice
C. M. Cureton, who wrote the opinion,
"that the judgment of the trial court
was correct, and that the judgment of
the court of civil apeals in favor of
the defendant in error is reversed, and
that of the trial court in favor of the
plaintiff in error is affirmed.’ ’
