THE MASS MEETING
The mass meeting at the La
Belle theater Tuesday evening
was attended by about thirty
representative citizens.
President Jno. E. Wolf of the
Board of Trade, in a few well
chosen words, explained the ob-
ject of the meeting and made
several suggestions of plans for
the entertainment of the visiting
editors. He then called for other
suggestions and general discus-
sion. Mr. Joseph Reynolds, the
only one among those present
who had ever met with the Asso-
ciation, explained that the annual
meeting of the Texas Editorial
Association was purely for recre-
ation, an outing for pleasure,
a session devoted entirely to
outdoor amusement and indoor
stories of the earlier days of their
experience in journalism, and
suggested that we make our
plans for their entertainment
along these lines.
The following ehairmcn of com-
mittees were appointed, the
chairmen to select their own
committees:
Transportation: W.H.Clement.
Entertainment: 0. C. Arnold.
Hunting: H. B. Farwell.
Oj'sters: A. R. Hillycr.
A committee composed of Mes-
dames L. P. Davis, M. K. Feather
and Miss Alpha Bussell was ap-
pointed to arrange for the enter-
tainment of the ladies of the
party.
Those present were given an
unexpected treat in the address
of Mr. R. A. Norton, represent-
ing the War Work Council, who
spoke at length on the work the
Army Y. M. C. A. is accomplish-
ing at home and in Europe.
Having a subject that is of
genuine and vital interest to all,
and being an excellent speaker,
Mr. Norton received attention
seldom accorded to lesser lumin-
aries than Bryan.
DEATH OF MRS, McCARTY
Mrs. J. F. McCarty departed
this life late Tuesday afternoon
at the home of her son, Mr. J. E.
McCarty. She was born in Ala-
bama eighty one years ago, last
August, thus having past her al-
loted limit of time several years
ago. Mrs. McCarty was a de-
voted mother, a staunch friend,
a charming and capable home-
maker and an earnest and con-
sistent member of the Baptist
church to the end. She was the
mother of three sons, two of
whom preceded her to the spirit
world, there to await her coming.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Travis assisted by Under-
taker Feather, were held at the
house Wednesday afternoon, fol-
lowed by interment in the Pa-
lacios Cemetery.
And another soul has gone to
occupy its mansion in the skies.
The sympathy of the commun-
ity is extended to the sorrowing
son and his family.

CA LOMEL SA TAVATFS
AND MAKES YOU SICK.
Acts Like Dynamite on a Slug-
gish Liver and You Lose
a Day's Work.
There's no reason why a per-
son should take sickening, sali-
vating calomel when a few cents
buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone—a perfect substitute
for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable li-
quid which will start your liver
just as surely as calomel, but it
doesn't make you sick and can-
uul salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone, be-
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty cal-
omel today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated tomor-
row. Don't lose a day's work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will
wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, slug-
gishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than horrible calomel your mon-
ey is waiting for you.
