Mr. Dodion Warns Against Use of
Treacherous Dangerous
Calomel.
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury!
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug-
gish 1m r. When calomel comes into
contact with sour Idle it crashes into
it. causing cramping and nausea.
If you fee! bilious headachy con-
stipated and all knocked out just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
‘Dodson’s Liver Ti ne for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten
you up better and quicker than nasty
calomel without making you sick you
just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides it may salivate you while* if
you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It’s harmless pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it. adv.

Grown in All 48 States Yet
Are Admitted to Be the
Highest Thing Sold. j
(Philadelphia Record)
More pounds of potato*- than of
J any other food are consumed by the
i European and English speaking peo-
ples as a whole. All our 48 states
I can grow potatoes and yields of 100
to 200 bushels a:: acre with as much
as 800 bushels in fancy farming put
to shame the 14 to 20 bushels of
wheat grown on an acre.
And yet commission merchants ad-
mit that potatoes are the very highest
thing on the market. In the seven-
year period from 1913 they have in-
creased in retail price 353 per c'*nt.
In 1916 the consumer was alarmed
at $1.80 a bushel but this season $»'•
a bushel and 35 to 40 cents a quarter
peck prevail.
People talk coal famine sugar fam-
ine. and thay are bad enough. But
the reai thing is a potato famine. For
example Ireland’s in 1848. The Ger-
mans during the war feared no eco-
nomic disaster as they did a failure
of the potato crop. Realizing the
vital position of potatoes German)
raises about twice as many bushels to
the acre as we do and three or four
times our total. And the German j
consumption in some places where
they live on potatoes as some orient its
do on rice is 25 bushels a year to a
oerson while our consumption i t oi.I)
’hree or four bushels per capita.
Large Yield Per Acre.
It ought to be seen ahead by any-
body who can count ten that when
food shortage gets close to the fam-
ine stage the stingy articles of pro-
duce will have to yield to potato.'.-
that produce two to 20 times the best
the others can do. A wheat *itdd or
a field of corn turned into beef and
pork produce miserably compared
with the hundreds of bushels f po-
tatoes to an acre.
Potatoes won “fearful” respect in
1916 when a poor American crop of
286.953.000 bushels was flirting
around $2 a bushel. The next crop
of 442108000 bushels eased the sit-
uation. In 1918 the country produced
400.800.000 bushels and last year
358000000 bushels. Reduction in
the acreage planted last year was at-
tributed to high prices for potato seed j
and the farm labor shortage.
rlain rotato Romance.
The plain potato furnishes the ro-
mance of the markets. The farmer
considers his potato cultivation his
most speculative work. The ups and
downs are so great that he is afraid
to plant a large acreage the first
year following big prices. And re-
tail prices follow wholesale up and
down more promptly in potatoes
than in almost any other produce.
And today the potato shows a greater
increase in price than any other arti-
cle recorded by the bureau of statis-
tics of the department of labor.
The world’s potato crop averages
about 5471000000 bushels. In 19151
it was 3044214000 bushels but in
1916 it was only 1720356 which ac-
counts for the high price at that time.
The United States crop for 1915 was
359721000 bushels but with the rest
of the world dropped down in 191G
to 2*6.955.000 bu-hels.
jmaurr ^crraijp.
In 1017 the United States produced
1441 OH000 bushels tthat same year
Gttinany raised 1580000994)) in
101H 400100000; in 1010 358-
000000.
The United States department of
agriculture has received reports in-
i dieating that the acreage planted for
potatoes this year will be 5 per cent
j less than last year. Michigan reports
j 90 per cent but ('alifornia 110 per
j cent and the average is less.
.Aroostock county. Maine without
i any comparison in this country as to
’potato fame yields on an average over

Russian-Latvian Negotiations
Proceed Favorably—Four
Points Are Agreed on.

I.OXJmiX. .1 it l\ 1.1. Viscount
vian peace negotiations are progress-
ing favorably and at least four points
virtually have been agreed upon.
They are:
Recognition of Lettish Independ-
ence and the renunciation by Russia
of all claims of sovereignty in Latvia.
The fixing of boundaries subject
to a joint commission of delimitation
basing its decision on ethnographic
and economic principles. In the for-
mer Drissa district a plebiscite shall
be held. •
Mutual engagements shall be taken
to prohibit the presence in Russian
or Latvian territory of armed forces
inimical to either country or the re-
cruiting and transportation of troops
or war material by countries at war
with either power. Russia and Lat-
via agree to forbid the formation or
presence in their respective countries i
of any groups or organizations with
pretensions to or designs against the
government oMhe other party to the
treaty.
The state of war shall cease from
the date of the conclusion of the
treaty.
The Lettish delegation is not en-
tirely in accord with the Russian
method proposed for holding the
plebiscite which excludes the non-
wcrking elements and demands ab-
stention by both Russia and Latvia
from agitation or propaganda against
the existing governments.
Economic provisions of the treaty
will be referred to a joint commis-
sion. •

Governor Lowden Has Plan to
Make Service Intrinsical-
ly Worth While.
I Hy The Associated Presti
Clin AHn. 111. July. 15. Plans to
make the national guard in Chicago "a
soimg man's club supported hy tin* state"
are being developed |.y the Chicago Na-
tional Hoard Commission reiently ap-
pointed by Hov. Frank <». l.o\vden.
“To recruit the national guard is
automatically as possible l>v making the
ervice intrinsically worth while is what
we are aiming at." said Heorgc O. Fair-
weather of the I'nirerait.tr of Chicago to-
lay. .Mr. I’airwcather is viee-chairuian
of the commission's educational com-
mittee.
"Stress is to he placed on social and
educational features rather than on the
military.*' he said. "In place of having
u group of men doing simply drill duty
we hope to lay out a program which will
appeal to the imagination and develop
all sides of the mam Incidentally he
will l*c a soldier and available for duty.
Me seek to get the best metl possible
into Ho* guard.
"The men in the national guard are
usually keen eager fellows but as a rule
they have m>t had n chance to broaden
their views outside of the particular
business in which they are engaged. The
dis* us.siotis and instruction we hope to
develop will give these young men a
background which will enable them to
talk no any of the problems of the day
wish intelligence and exactness and to
become versed in subjects that will be of
benefit to themselves and the c« inuiunity.
Mr. Fairweather said it was not the
commission’s aim to force upon the sol-
dier-student the ideas of the instructors
or of any particular text-ldbik. but to
give tin* men of the regiments what they
want and that the first effort would he
to learn what this was.

the services of Heorgc M*. Hoke who is
in charge of the educational system of

There are five national guard regi-
ments in Chicago. If the local program
develops successfully it may he extend-
ed through the state.
