When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and nil knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for a few cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work.

The Food Administration changes its rule prohibiting bakers selling less than a pound of bread to consumers, to prevent working of a hardship on ' the poor of New York. These people, many of them foreigners, buy bread from big loaves by the penny and two-penny slice, and have not the money to buy in larger quantities. The weight requirements for baking are not changed. Rolls are limited to not less than 1 ounce nor more than 3 ounces each. Theaters for Use by Men in Camps Are Now Completed. The Government "Liberty" theaters at the 16 National Army cantonments are all completed, and in a few performances have been given. The buildings, which are supervised by the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, are 120 feet wide and 179 feet long, made of pine boards, unpainted, but faced with heavy building paper, which makes the sides air-tight. Complete ventilating systems have been installed and heat is supplied by steam and small atuvua. There are five entrances and 15 i exits, and the theater, seating 3,000 I men, may be emptied in about one lminute. I \ The stage is 65 feet wide. The jJloor of the auditorium is saucer.JVaped and slopping, so every seat A(*'?vides a clear view of the stage. } the seats are benches fitted with 3 ' ttmfortable back, and sections will 3 ' \ reserved so tickets may be purls' ?lsed in advance.

The | j, <eel of the first flying boat was laid j q )0 days after building work was be-1 p run. The plant, with equipment, cost p ibout $1,000,000. h There is opportunity for employ- n nent at the aircraft factory for 2,000 j h skilled workmen from almost every ;rade. Women can sew covers on the r wings and perform some of the light- a er wood-working operations, and it is expected that several hundred wo- j men will be employed. Engineer Students May Stay in School to Complete Courses. The next examination through j which graduates of approved engineer schools may apply for commissions as provisional engineers, corps of engineers, will begin January 21. Another will probably be held about the middle of the coming summer. Students in approved technical school who are considered as rating "fn the upper third of their classes may enter the enlisted reserve corps, and so enlisted will be permitted to remain on the inactive list until they have completed their college courses. When they leave their colleges these students will be called for active service in some branch of the engineer service of the Army or will be discharged to take their chances under the selective service law. 109 German Ships Damaged by Crews Now in Service for the Nation Sailing under American names in the service of the United States are 109 German ships damaged by their crews prior to their seizure by the ' Government when war was declared. They add more than 500,000 gross tonnage to the transport and cargo fleets in war service for the United States. There is evidence that a German central authority gave orders for damage to these ships, so that none could be operated in less than 1U' months, and documentary proof that the enemy believed much of the damage to be irreparable. In less than eight months all the ships \Vere in service. The former German liners, sailing I under distinctly American names, are now fitted as troop and eurgu alMfWNEach is convertible to a completely equiped hospital ship for return-voyage service. Additional Clerks Required to Dintribute Checks to Dependents. Distribution of allowance and allotment checks to dependents of enlisted men of the United States has required an extra night shift of clerks and typists in the Bureau of War R'ik nsurance. The first checks represent allotments made by enlisted men , from their November pay, together , with stipulated Government allowi ances. : Every enlisted man in the mili> tary and nav.\! forces of the United States who has a wife and children , dependent on him is required to allot 3 for their support at least $15 a month, but not more than hVlf his pay. To this the Government adds monthly allowances. Commissioned officers are n?t re quired to maku allotments, anq the Government does not provide allow ^ ances for their dependents.

Reliable information received l the American zone was that Gerlany intends to treat prospective .merman prisoners as "men of no itelligence, and persons not entitled > the ordinary courtesies accorded risoners of war." , Presumably it is the intention to mploy American war prisoners in * \ >w forms of labor, and to treat them i the same horrible fashion that lermany has always treated her * Russian prisoners. The condition of Lussians in German war camps has een so wretched as to arouse even eutral nations to protest. They are eld on about the same level as leasts and compelled to live in suroundings which even self-respecting a nimals would abhor. ^ JPON CHARGE OF TREASON \ M HENN1G PUT UNDER ARREST New York, Dec. 29.?Charged with laving tampered with vital appara- HI .us, the bearings of torpedoes intend* ;d for American warships, Paul Hen- , lig, a naturalized German, is in jail lere tonight, the first victim in the :ountry to be held on a formal indictment of treason since the United Slates entered the war. To Lieut. O'Shea, an Annapolis graduate, goes the credit for having discovered the plot that might have resulted in destruction of American warships by their own torpedoes, ilennig was foreman of the gyroscope department of the Bliss Torpedo Co. in Brooklyn. So ingenious was the traitorous work he was alleged to have carried on that only under microscopic ev- . amination was some of it discovered. Hennig put emery in the bearings of the delicate machinery which guided the topedo on its course, according to evidence obtained against him. He mutilated other pieces of the machinr i lERMAN DIVISIONS COOPERA- 1 \ING WITH FORCES OF SULTAN ' Washington, Dec. '29.?German divisions, fresh from the Russian and Rumanian fronts, are in Turkey operating with the Sultan's forces in an effort to wrest the Holy Land fro.n the Rtitish and restore the fast failing M talent morale, according to official 'epprtr. received in Washington. Undeif the direct command of Gen. Falkenlmyn of the German general staff, fo%jr Turkish divisions?GO,000 men? and at least one German diviI sion^havi "fteen l^yo^'i) Gen^ ATlenby's expeditionary forces along the line of Jaffa, through Jerusalem to the Jordan. That the gradual breakdown in Turkish morale was causing the Teuton war lords considerable concern has been known for some time by en- ^ tente military officials. It was not ^ believed probable that Germany would consider sending Teuton soldiers in large numbers into Mesopotamia or Palestine, however. Gen. Allenby's report today, however, brought confirmation of their suspicions. Developments in the past few days along the Jerusalem front has shown the insincerity of Vienna dispatches stating that the central powers would make no attempt to retake Jerusalem. i "On December 26, 27 and 28," i Gen. Allenby's report reads, "the enemy delivered a number of deter. mined attacks with four divisions in . the neighborhood of Bir Nebala. (A . full Turkish division is 15,000 men, military officials declare). "They were repulsed with henvy losses. Later we launched a determined counter-attack on the Turk right flank with two divisions, our y troops advancing to a depth of two i > and a half miles over a nine mile I !-. front. Sanguinary losses were in- I flicted upon the enemy." I e Capture of a large number of Geri man prisoners was also reported in i- Gen. Allenby's dispatch. These were g Identified as belonging to the 701st d German regiment and are believed to have recently arrived from the JUis-* ' d sian front. te Today's dispatches from Rome into dicate that the Teutons are continurs ing their troop movement toward le.
