DODSON TELLS THE
HORROR OF CALOMEL
You Don't Need to Sicken, Grip© c*
Salivate Yourself to Start
Liver.
You're bilious, sluggish, constipated.
Sou feel headachy, your stomach may
be sour, your breath bad, your skin
sallow and you believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start liver and
bowels.
Here's my guarantee 1 Ask your drug-
gist for a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone and take a spoonful tonight. If it
doesn't start your liver and straighten
you right up better than calomel and
without griping or making you sick I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
$rou will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose a day. Take a
spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dod-
son's liver Tone tonight and wake up
feeling splendid. It is perfectly harm-
less, so give it to your children any
time. It can't salivate.—Adv.
No use grumbling; people won't act
to suit you.—Ed. Howe.
COIL DUST LODGED
IN MIKEB'S LUNGS
fells how his cough was conquered and
health restored.
"In November, 1916, I Was working In
A coal mine and the doctors said the coal
dust had settled in my lungs. I couldn't
lie down on my right side, coughed so I
couldn't sleep and had constant pain in
my right lung and under my shoulder
blades. 1 coughed so hard the blood
would spurt out of my nose. Finally the
doctors had me change climate and live
outdoors, but didn't improve.
"Then I came home and started on
Milks Emulsion. Thank God I did, as
it did a lot of good right-from the
start, loosening -sp the coal dust in my
right lung. In a lev.' weeks my lungs
were free. I could sleep like a baby, had
an excellent appetite and my cough left
me entirely. I gained back 30 pounds in
weight and went back to work in the
mines completely restored to health."—
G. H. Bunn, 6th Ave. & No. 13th St., Terre
Haute, Ind.
Thousands of victims of dust-filled air
develop the same trouble that Mr Bunn
had. Milks Emulsion costs nothing to
try, so why not at least try it?
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutritive
food and a corrective medicine. It re-
stores healthy, natural bowel action, do-
ing away with all need of pills and phys-
ics. It promotes appetite and quickly
puts the digestive organs in shape to as-
similate food. It helps build flesh and
strength, and is a powerful -aid in resist-
ing and repairing the effects of wasting
diseases.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that it is eaten with a
spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe your case you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under
this guarantee—Take six bottles home
with you, use it according to directions,
and if not satisfied with the results your
money will be promptly refunded. Price
60c and $3.20 per bottle. The Milks Emul-
sion Co., Terre Haute, Ind. Sold by drug-

gon, as an amendment to the pending

tences.
Other important modifications re-
commended include::

gal experience and be composed of
officers having at least two years' ser-
vice.

under civil procedure.
Disciplinary punishments shall be
preferred to courts-martial.

men shall be mads subject to dis-
ciplinary punishment.

LEADERS IN RAILROAD
STRIKE ARE ARRESTED
STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK IN
MANY SECTIONS AND IMPROVE-
MENT IS REPORTED.
Chicago, 111.—Charged with violat-
ing the Lever food act, 2-5 leaders in
the insurgent strike of railroad
switchmen aie under arrest in Chi-
cago. In all some 30 warrants were
issued and railroad and brotherhood
officials declare that the last bulwark
of the local strike has been broken
by government agent raids. Two
hundred other warrants will be is-
sued later, it is said.
In the number arrested was John
Brunau, president of the Chicago
Yardmen's association, the outlaw
union. The men were taken by fed-
eral agents as a meeting of strikers,
and the action was unexpeited by the
men. - - .
The prisoners, who also include H.
E. Reading, chairman of the United
Enginemen's association, were re-
leased for a hearing April 24 on $10,-
000 bond each by Commissioner
Mason.
Reports from western strike cen-
ters show continued improvements in
the situation, with more men going
back to work. Leaders declare that
the peak of the walkout is passed.
Among the important shipping cen-
ters of the southwest where the
men have returned to work was
Fort Worth, Texas, which had been
effectively tied us for several days.
Embargoes on all freight lines have
been lifted and normal conditions are
now expected.
ROGER C. SULLIVAN
DIES IN ILLINOIS
TENANTS GET REFUND
OF EXCESSIVE RENTS
New York Landlords Must Disgorge
fucreased Exceeding Margin
Allowed.
New York.—To the dismay of a num-
ber of landlords and the intense joy
of a hordes of tenants, Municipal Court
Justice Davis has directed the refund
of "excess" rent profits amounting to
about $1,000.
The dramatic scene, news of which
spread through all Harlem, was enact-
ed in seventh district municipal court.
It was the first time any justice had
invoked the new rent laws to comnei
a property owner to disgorge rents
that he had already received.
The refunds were ordered in a num-
ber of cases where the court discover-
ed that tenants had, prior to April 1,
paid a rent of more than 25 per cent
over and above the rent of one year
ago, and where the landlords failed to
satisfy the court that the increase was
justified.
OVERALL MOVEMENT
CONTINUES TO SPREAD
Democratic Leader for Thirty Years
Succumbs to Attack of
Pneumonia
Chicago, 111.—Roger C. Sullivan, 59
years old, democratic leader of Cook
county and prominent in state and
national politics for 30 years, died
at his home in Chicago late Wednes:
day of bronchial pneumonia. He had
been seriously ill a month.
Mr. Sullivan planned to enter the
democratic national convention at
San Francisco as the leader of the
Illinois delegation of 58, with the in-
tention of making that his last ap-
pearance as a political leader.
Roger Sullivan, condemned in his
own state by his opponents as a
"boss" and more than once "read
out" of the democratic party by no
less a person than William Jennings
Bryan, led the movement that finally
resulted in making Woodrow Wilsoi?
president of the United States.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
conditio®, they may cause the other or-
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am-
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle im-
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be »ure and

fn New York have flocked to the stand-
ard of "General Overall," whose
march against guerrilla forces of the
high cost of clothing started recently

to wear khaki on all occasions.
Paris.—The danger of a new upris-
ing against the Ebert government in
Germany apparently has passed for
the time being, according to advices
from Berlin. Strict precautionary
measures are still being taken, how-
ever, the advices say.
The representatives in Berlin of
France, Great Britain, Italy and Bel-
gium will join in a warning to Ger-
many that she must execute without
delay the disarmament and demobili-
zation clauses of the peace treaty, ac-
cording to present plans.
It is understood that the charge
d'affaires will also say to the German
government that in case the insurrec-
tionary movement in Germany is not
suppressed the allies may refuse fur-
ther deliveries of foodstuffs.

Candler, N. C.—"I don't believe
there is a better medicine made thaw
Black-Draught; I have used it and
my mother's folks used it for colds,
feverishness, headache and deranged
liver." This statement recently was
made by Mr. C. B. Trull, a well-knowa
farmer on Route 3, this place.

dull, a headache would come on, and
I would feel all full of cold, and take
a few doses of Black-Draught and
get all right," adds Mr. Trull.
"Last year my brother had measles,
flu and pneumonia. They wired us;
I went to Camp Jackson to look him
up. Down there different ones were
using preventatives. I stayed with
him. The only thing I used was
Black-Draught. It kept my system
cleansed and I kept well and strong."
By keeping your liver and stomach
in good order, you stand in little dan-
ger of catching serious ills that
occasionally spread through town and
country.

"Sometimes I felt that I would burn
up with fever, but every now and then
would have a severe chill. Often my
clothes were wring-

spiration. The kid-
ney secretions were

walked with two

terrible pains shot through my kidneys
my knees would give way, and many
times I had to be lifted to my feet by
people on the street. I didn't care
whether I lived or died I was so mis-
erable. I finally used Doan's Kidney
