BEWARE!
Th&t case of malaria may be
come chronio. Many people
think they are free from it, and
attribute' their low state of
health to various other reasons.
The chronic effects are Anaemia,
yellow skin, -enlargement of the
spleen and liver, together with
a general low state of health.
Stop trying to cure the effects.
Get rid of the cause by taking
Oxidine, a preparation that
drives malaria out of your blood.
It is also an excellent tonic, and
will make your system strong*
enough to resist any further
effects from this dreadful disease.

Speedy Relief
From Habitual
Constipation
The liver Is the largest and most Im
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver' Tflf uses to 'act, it causes -emistipa*-
tlon, biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysen
tery, diarrhoea, pains in bade and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, In
fluenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected immediately.
An Inactive liver places an extra bur
den on the kidneys, which overtaxes them
and causes the blood to absorb and car
ry Into the system the impurities that the
liver and kidneys have failed to elimi
nate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that Is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other ordi
nary laxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would pui
your entire system In order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these important facts, and aft
er much study and research, compounded
what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s
Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined In one. This was the
Doctor’s favorite prescription for many
years, being used by his patients with
marked success. It is a harmless vegeta
ble remedy that will not make you sick,
and you may eat anything you like while
taking It.

COALFAMINEFACED
FOR LACK OF CARS
MOST SEVERE FAMINE IN HISTO
RY OF COAL INDUSTRY
PREDICTED
SHORTAGE UNPRECEDENTED
Conditions In The West Much The
Same As In The East—Situation
Likely To Become Serious
Chicago.—Unless railroads divert all
open-top cars to the transportation o£
coal for the next sixty days the en
tire country will experience the most
severe coal famine in history, is pre
dicted by Dr. F. C. Honnold, a recog
nized authority.
The coal shortage for this time of
year, he said, was unprecedented. The
Illinois mines, capable of producing
eight million tons monthly , are pro
ducing less than six million tons. The
situation in the Northwest, with three
and a half million tons less than nor
mal for July 1, is so critical that the
governors of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and the Dakotas are to appeal to
President Wilson for relief.
“There will be a coal famine in all
parts of the country next winter un
less open-top cars are diverted solely
to coal transportation,” said Doctor
Honnold. “Conditions in the \ est are
much the same as in th East. Penn
sylvania and West Virginia are not
producing the coal they should at this
time. Operators have the men and
the facilities, but. no cars.
“Other industries are entitled to a
percentage of open-lop cars, of course,
hut in a time like this it is a question
of waiting until we free before we pro
test.
“Considering the shortage of coal,
^he interstate commerce commission
first directed that all coal cars on the
connecting lines should be sent
home loaded, making it unnecessary
for the connecting linos to send back
cars to the coal-carrying road empty.
Fo rthat reason many cars have been
diverted to sand and gravel pits and
have been returned weeks after they
should have been received.” «
President C. H. Markham of the Il
linois Central Lines, after an inspec
tion trip, devoted to investigation of
the coal situation, said the situation
“is likely to become very serious.”

Mr. Dodson Warns Against Use
of Treacherous, Dangerous
Calomel.
Calomel salivates I It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile It crashes Into
It, causing cramping and nausea.
Tf you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if It doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without mak
ing you sick, you just go hack and
vet your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll he
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up

CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Who among us would nay to-day, “!
never use a Dentifrice; I never have to?”
Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem, not one person in 1,000 used a

So to-day, after more than 30 years of
persistent publicity of Allen’s Foot-Rase,
the Antiseptic Powder for the Feet, not
many well-turned-out people care to con
fess, “You know I never have to use a
Powder for the Feet!”
More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds ( of, Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is tiiis: Confining the feet
in Leather or Canvas. Shoes is hound to
create friction more or less. Allen’s Foot.-*
Ease removes the friction from the shoes.
It is this friction which causes callouses,
corns and bunions. You know wliut' fric

Have 5 ou ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that lias real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says “Take tor
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to Tecommend, for in
almost every case it hIiows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers. testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
narv troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

DEMOCRATS BEGIN
WORK JIT FRISCO
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVEN-
. TION GETS UNDER STEAM
AT SAN FRANCl’sCO
PRESIDENTISG1VEN OVATION
One Thousand And Ninety-Two Dele
gates Were In Their Seats When
The Gavel Sounded
San Fraflcisco.—Assembling at noon
June 28 for their session, delegates to
the national tyemocratic convention
heard a keynote speech by National
Chairman Cummings and perfected
preliminaries clearing the way for the
real work of finding a presidential
candidate.
Hours before the opening ticket
holders gathered in the spacious
building which, for the occasion, seats
more than twelve thousand persons.
Those who did not hold tickets were
barred from approaching the main en
trance by fences hidden by a screen
of California evergreen.
Decorations of the convention hall
were simple and tasteful with the
Stars and Stripes as the dominant fea
ture of the beautiful display.
The seats of the 1,01)2 delegates
were compactly assembled close to the
platform and stretched almost across
the width of the hall. Here and there
stood the state and terirtorial stand
ards, made of California redwood,
showing the locations of the delega
tions. Directly behind were the seats
of the alternates and all about them
in an almost,perfect circle were places
for more than ten thousand other per
sons.
The league of nations covenant was
championed as the “Monroe doctrine
of the world” by Homer Cummings,
temporary chairman of the Democratic
national convention in his keynote ad
dress.
Of the peace treaty’s defeat in the
senate he said: “No blacker crime
against civilization has ever soiled the
pages of our history.”
He characterized the Republican
platform as " react i on ary and provin
cial.” "Filled with premeditated
slanders and vague promises, it will
he searched in vain for one construc
tive suggestion for the reformation of
tlie conditions which it criticizes and
deplores.”
An innovation planned for the open
ing of the convention was the silenc
ing of the great gathering by a Vmglo
call instead of the usual pounding with
the gavel. As the bugler’s notes came
to an end and the buzz of conversation
o nthe floor censed, a detachment of
m a lines standing in front of the ptat-
fcnrm raised the. national colors and
came to “present arms.”
Prohibition
The situation as the convention met
as to three troublesome platform ques
tions wore:
William J. Bryan, leader of the drys
and Nebraska’s member of the reso
lutions committee, had a dry plank to
present to the committee, which reads:
“We heartily congratulate the Dem
ocratic party on its splendid leader
ship in the submission and ratification
of the prohibition amendment to the
foderaL constitution and we pledge the
party (to the effective enforcement of
the Volstead law, honestly and in good
faith, without any increase in the alco
holic content of permitted beverages
and without any weakening of any
other of its provision.”
Postmaster General Buriesoi) and
James Nugent of New Jersey, leading
wots, also had planks varied in lan
guage, but all to the same purpose—
pledging the party to favor modifica
tion of the Volstead law so that the
individual states may determine what
they will permit in the way of alco-
League Of Nations
President Wilson. Mr. Bryan and
Senator Walsh have planks on thin
question. In spite of the fight that
Bryan and Walsh are making on the
president, it appeared likely that the
administration forces would win.
The president's plank, which Sena
tor Glass will present, pledges the
party to ratification without impair
ing reservations.
Bryan’s plank declares against mak
ing the league a political issue and
urges ratification with safeguarding
reservations.
The convention flung aside for the
moment the business before it, while
delegates carried on a demonstration
that swept the groat gathering off ifft
feet. It was a half hour before the out
burst, evoked by a sudden display of
the president’s portrait, could bo still
ed. Again and again, as his name was
mentioned, the cheers broke out anew
to culminate in the shout of approval
that, adopted and sent to the white
house a striking testimonial of his
party’s faith and pride in the man
who has led it through troublous
years.
Irish Question
The administration is against men
tioning Ireland, but may concede a
mention of Irisn independence in con
nection with the league of nations
holding for the league as the hope of
the Irish and other subject peoples for
freedom.
Irish organizations in concert have
prepared a plank, emphatically putting
the party on record as sympathizing
with Ireland, and favoring recognition
of tlie Irish republic by I he United
States.
