CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK. Act* Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver And You Lose a Day'* Work. There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calomel when HO cents buys a bottle of Hudson's Liver Tone?-a perfect substitute for calomel. It is u pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just a* turely as calomel, but it doesn't make | you sick and cannot salivate. Children and grown folks can take Hudson's Liver Tone, because it is >erfecily harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is nercury and attacks your bones Pake n dose of nasty calomel to-day ind you will feel weak, sick and nauleated to-morrow. Don't lose a day's vork.

Sold Everywhere I RUSSIA'S VIGOROUS OFFENSIVE CONTINUES The Russian armies are continuing 3 their offensive in eastern Galicia and ^ other groups of the empire's vast t forces are apparently ready to spring iffll into activity at various points along the 800-mile front. Everything appears to be running smoothly with the military machine, or at least it seems in a more effective shape than even the rosiest forecasts indicated. Meanwhile, Russian government affairs, which appeared to have been going well for some time past, again ruffled with a cabinet disagreement. Four ministers, including Finance Minister Shingaroff, have resigned because of objections to the police de- $1 cided upon by the other ministers re ! garding affairs in the Ukraine, which, | like Finland, has desires for an indc I penaeni government. A meeting or I the council of ministers has been called to solve the crisis and it is w hoped the resignations will be withdrawn. Coincidently come reports of disor- " ders in Petrograd instigated by tho radical faction of the Social Demo-< cratic party as a demonstration ' against the government. Rival parties of demonstrulors appear to have fired on each other during a panic brought about by a few stray shots and a number of persons were killed or wounded. Quiet was soon restored. WILL EQUIP ARMY DOCTORS One of the large problems before the army medical authorities has been "3 ihe furnishing of the surgical instru- I meats and other medical supplies needed for Umlo Sam's augmented nH military establishment. There h*s been a hearty cooperation between Maj. (Jen. William C Gorgas, the surgoon general, and his assistants, and 'he manufacturers, it is announced. Satisfactory arrangements have resuited by which the necessary surgical instruments may be obtained in i way as good as if derived from Gcrnany. Leading surgeons of .he coun iry usscmoicu in vvasnington, alter 1 consultation, agreed on instruments 1 necessary for surgical operations. By 1 this means, it was possible to compile a revised catalogue, which has been communicated to the makers of instruments, who have signified their - flfta willingness to furnish this simplified iist to the limit of their facilities. In the matter of drugs, the war de- .4 partment is assured of deliveries in the quantities required and of the varieties needed under a system that jjfl promises to overcome difficulties that, nay be encountered in obtaining quinine and opium derivatives. A surgi-. eal dressing house has erected a new ^ plant to be devoted to the manufacture of surgical dressings. There also is a gratifying promise of ambulances in the number necessary at home and abroad. The makers of motor vehicles are in position to fill orders as ' they are placed, one concern having promised to produce from 300 to GOO vehicles a month, while another has i reported that he can make an unlimited quantity of ambulances in u short ^ CHESTERFIELD, ROUTE 4 S No flour panic in this community now.

PLAN TWO MILLION GAROENS Two million home gardens, Cultivated under the auspices of tho Hoy Mi Scouts of America, are going to prove invaluable to the United sint?.u .. .. ..ui UH the wnr period ami help to end the high price of food here, according to O. H. Benson of the United Stales Depart- ** I mcnt of Agriculture.

If these new resources are properly conserved, Mr. Benson suys, they will Vfl furnish a reserve food supply that will J be Invaluable to the country In Its proa* , ecutlon of the war. "This Hoy Scout inovement alone H means more than 2,000,000 new gardens throughout the country this spring," said Mr. Benson. "Iu addition 1 iu raising a garden himself, each scout I Is pledged to persuade nine other ? I sons, not scouts, to raise gardens. That I makes ten gardens ffut acout?and there are 210,000 scouts, not counting (lie adults In tlie organisation.
