It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and ^ believe you need u dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells foi r>U cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and ie 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. Dodson's Liver Tono straightens you right up and you feel great.

"Oli-ho!" the latter shouted, at sight of the uniform. "fc>o you of i those soldier men I One of those mil- ( tarists who create, love and invilo war!" "Not at nil," replied the sol- , dler, quietly. "I am opposed to war?every soldier Is. Just as every policeman prefers a quiet neighborhood to Hell's Kitchen, so I prefer peace to shot and shell." "I don't believe you !" cried the pacifist, forgetting, In his rage, that it is 1 the part of every good pacifist to remain calm and courteous under all conditions; never to quarrel; never to shout; never to lose his temper; never to indulge in a wur of words. "Why, then, do you carry a gun and a sword? Why, why? You Invite trouble by merely owning such weapons. You encourage war simply by thinking about It." "Oh, no; I beg you pardon," anju-nmwl ?! ontivu lliu DUIUIUI, BinllJI. 1 III'VIT think of war, except to detest it. That policeman, yonder, does not wi^li to nrrest you?though perhaps he ought to. Nine times out of ten lie will usk you, politely, to move on, rather than take you to the station house, lie carries a revolver, it is true. Hut have you over seen it? No; and you never will, unless you get into trouble." "Hut I will never get Into trouble!" yelled the little pacifist, furious tit the very word. "Never! never!" "IIow do you know?" inquired the soldier. "The fact that you do not wish trouble will not, unfortunately, prevent its coming, any more than the desire not to lie ill staves olf appendicitis. The world would be a beautiful place If, by merely wishing, v.c couid evade and avoid trouble. You have never seen the policeman's revolver, and you have never seen your appendix; yet either is apt to break out at any moment." ' "But I?" begun the little pacifist. At that moment a mad dog, unexpected and unannounced, came blindly down the street. People (mattered to right and left. There were shouts of terror. The soldier drew his sword us the animal came nearer; and the poor little pacifist, terrified, leaped behind the miltary man's hack. The policeman on the corner drew his revolver, and tired. The dog fell dead. "I suppose you wonder why we killed him?" said the soldier to the still trembling pacifist. "We kilb <1 him so that ho would not kill us. It is a law of life, you know. And if you fail to go prepared for sueh emergencies, others do not. We save you, not only from mad dogs and (lends, hut from yourselves. I>o you under, stand, little man? Rut you had better move on. You are attracting attention by your shivering and shaking, . . . By the way, I wonder why you are shivering? The policeman and 1 should he nervous. For the risk was ours. You didn't do anything!" And the little pacifist crept away. There was nothing else to do. When'er our country calls, friends, Hons and aires should yield their treasures up, nor own a sense beyond the public safety.?Brooks.

Human Body Has Points of Decided Inferiority to Despised Mammals, It Is Asserted. Investigation Is proving, declarer Dr. F. Wood Jones, professor of uuutomy at the university of London, in his new hook, "Arboreal Man." that the human body is no such finished product of evolution as we huve fondly imagined. It has points of decided inferiority to tlie physical frames of mammals upon which we look with disdain as less Qnely formed than ourselves. Some of the lower animals are more capable of exquisite adaptations than ure we ourselves. Their bodies are more splendid instruments than ours are, more complex. Indicative of a 1 higher stage of evolution on the physi- j en I piano. The upright attitude of man i has been employed as an argument in j favor of his superiority to the four- i footed beast physiologically, although the evidence makes such an argument I ridiculous. It would tend the other | way, says u review In the Lou- ' don Lancet. If we compare man's body with the body of so-called "lower organisms" we are astonished to tind that his points of resemblance are with the lowest in the scale of conscious being. Man is oddly unlike the noble beasts of the jungle; but he Is amazingly like the creatures of a primitive type that Infest the bog, the pond and the swamp. Ills relatives are not the lords of the forest, not the kings of the Jungle, nor the mighty eagle, but the creatures of the slime. How Is it that the various elements r>f the remote ancestral limb have been preserved In human limbs? l'rofessor Jones' answer is that the primates broke away from the early land living mammalian stock while the primitive bones and muscles were still preserved In that stock. These primitive elements proved useful and were preserved in that particular form which oloptcd an arboreal life and used the oind and foot to grasp with. The primfive plan on which the hands of man lire built can be accounted for only by ^apposing that man's ancestry spent a long pilgrimage in the trees. It was [luring man's arboreal phase of exist[mee that the vast majority of those inatoinical characters which we re miiii n? iimiiniuious hi incurs npr! u'lit posture were evolved.

Adv. 1. i! The Volunteer jj Soldier By HAMLIN GARLAND I I of the Vigilantes ;; My father was n volunteer In the Civil war. lie left his wife, and three children, all under live years of age, and went Into the army on the private soldier's pay of thirteen dollars per month?greenbacks. He served two stressful years under Grant, Thomas and Logan and when ho returned in '05 he brought buck with him a lirm belief In the volunteer regiments and their commanders. He revered Grant and Sherman hut depreciated the "West Point martinet." Grant und Sherman were the exceptions which proved the rule. They happened to he soldiers as well as West Pointers. The otlicers of resource. of lialriiiMo (level inn were I lie tn?'tt who wont Into the war from conviction nn?l not from u desire for a job. In all my early life, therefore. I was schooled in the belief that tin* American system of volunteer service was the most democratic, the most effective and the least enslaving of all forms of military obligation. Naturally I took up and carried forward tlds prejudice. .Many years were necessary to free my mind of an Inherited opposition to the professional soldier, utul a hatred of conscription. I am still opposed to the conscription as it was practiced in 1SM, for it was then a matter of chance and not of logic. The names were chosen by a hoodwinked child, a System as foolish as the volunteer system was unjust. Under one, the man of courage and patriotic devotion sprang gallantly to nrms and the shirk remained behind to grow ricli In trade and propagate his kind. Under the other, chanco ruled. The volunteer spirit produced an almost Invincible warrior, I will admit, but at what cost! It was true that ( rant or Sherman could call from the ranks corps of bridge builders, telegraphers, engineers and skilled ma clilnlsts, hut I now see that this was n criminal waste of material, that it was a gross misuse of genius and entirely wrong at hase. Military service should he neither n Mind thing nor a rush and wasteful thing. Conscription should mean the logical use of the host man in the right place. If all servo in some capacity, no stigma can attach to any uniform. If ail serve according to their powers and with respect to their condition and age, no one can rightfully complain. The high-spirited volunteer should not he allowed to sacrifice himself and the selfish slacker should he called to tin* colors. Every man must feel his obligation to serve the government which protects him and educates him. Service should he universal and then' it will he just and equitable?at least in theory. That some inequalities will remain Is, of course, unavoidable. I am for universal training, universal conscription of men and money. The government has the right in time of war to demand of every man that service which he ean best render. !u going into this world-shaking war wo must all he prepared to lend a hand, either in the trenches or In tlie f:.e tories, railway Millions ami hospitals behind the lines. The whole nation must be organized and ready for action. All past scales of warfare are of no value to us now. Cram's army would he but a detail of the allied command. The transportation and commissary systems of the past are amateur. (!ermany has taught us war on the m >st gigantic scale. Military training with us now must tube on something of the universal character, as in Switzerland, where the soldier Is also a citizen ami a free man. our volunteer system is Inadequate, outworn, unjust and cruelly wasteful of the blood of brave youth. It must give place to the more enlightened plan.

I have hoard It churged that Soutfc mors sometimes uiaku finicky demands upon historians who wish a market in the South, but I know the Southerner, and 1 have us much faith in liiin as I have In uny other Atnerlcan, and It is my deep conviction that if the Northern historian will deal fulrly with flic South, und will frankly place upon the North the blame for, let us say, the out rages of reconstruction? dealing honestly and openly with the subject as it should be dealt with? then the Southerner will meet hlni half way, and will not quibble over equally trunk, ueudeinlc statements concerning the ovils of slavery. If the Northern historian will give a true picture of the noble spirit of the South In the Civil war, of the greatness of Lee, Davis iitnl other Southern lenders, of the outrages of reconstruction, etc., und will, further, do justice to all great men of the South (giving, for instance, to ! .Matthew Fontaine Maury, the South'n great scientist, the mention he deserves, along with Ell Whitney and Uoher! Fill ton mill <^vrna Vielil unit S. K. R. Morse iiikI others of the reguhif hi Mnrie "stock"), then I think he will find the South ns open-minded us enn lie.

A few foolish people may, perhaps, tube the al'iltide that to present facts discreditable to the nation Is "unpatriotic." If a historian were to write h i realiy frank liisp ,-y today, the salcs' man for rival hooks would doubtless ! stoop to such an argument.
