So Far Ways and Construction

Bo Undor Erection.
According to an excellent naval crit-
ic, Hector C. Bywater, so far as build-
ing ways arid construction plants are
concerned, there Is no reason why Ger-
many could not have 25 battleships or
battle cruisers under construction at
one and the same time. Though he
admits that this figure may be astoo-
tailing, he shows that an examination
of the various yards, government and
private. In Oermauy justifies the e*ti
mate. In fact, he goes further and
states that, simultaneously, a program
Including light cruisers, destroyers and
submarine* could be put through, since
there are many Oerman yards which,
although they cannot build capital
ships, are well equipped to produce
the lighter craft. He estimates the
total working force In all these yurda
at 100,000 men.
A Sure Thing.

Nowata.—Pleaa by the Rev. Perry
Pierce, Methodist minister, failed to
save the life of Mark Foreman, a ne-
gro, who, with "Sunny" Powell, an-
other negro, was lynched by a mob.
A few hours before the double-lfnch-
Ing, the Rev. Pierce stood In his yard
and interceded for Foreman's life,
while Foreman, with a rope around
his neck, was standing beneath a tree
in the minister's yard, and surrounded
by a mob.
Respite Wa* Short.
The respite secured by the minister
was of short duration. The mob dis-
persed, but Or \rned to the Jail, se-
cured possession of Foreman and
Powell and hanged both near the Jail
and within 150 feet of the minister's
parsonage. One of the negroes had
killed James Gibson, a deputy Bberlff,
during a Jail break a few hours f S
fore.

Every druggist here, yes! your druggist and
everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling*
off in the sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its
pl^ff
"Calomel is dangerous and people know it while
Dodson's Liver Tone is safe and gives better re-
sults," said a prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every
druggist. A large family-sized bottle costs only 50
cents and if you find it doesn't take the place of
dangerous, salivating calomel you have only to ask
for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant-tasting, pure-
ly vegetable remedy, harmless to both children
and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine, no sick headache, biliousness, ague,
sour stomach or clogged bowels. Dodson's Uvtr
Tone doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all next
day like calomel.
Take a dose of calomel tonight and tomorrow
you will feel sick, weak and nauseated. Don't loss
a day's workl
Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medtcins.
You'll know it next morning because you will
wake up with your head clear, your liver active,
bowels clean, breath sweet and stomach regulated.
You will feel cheerful and full of vigor and ready
for a hard day's work.
You can eat anything afterwards without risk
of salivating yourself or your children.
Get a -bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and try it
on my guarantee. You'll never again put a dost
of nasty, dangerous calomel into your stomach. Adv.

HCW TO MAKE COFFEE
By the greatest coffee merchants in the world
IMBt pictums of tknt wives and what their husbands say of their ooffw
There has been a great deal written and said
about making coffee, and wherever you go,
each woman thinks her way ia beat. Yet we
all know how much coffee varies; good one
meal—bad the neat—often ao bad you simply
can't drink it.
Don't be diacouraged if you are not getting
coffee as fine aa you would like to have. Don't
be sa^sfied to drink coffee which is "just me-

dium." A million other women make coffee
their husbande brag about, and it ia ao eaey
for you to do it
Instead of coffee which you only pot up with
because you can't get the kind you would like
to have, you can get coffee which every mem-
ber of your family will enjoy, coffee which
every visitor will praise, coffee which you your-
self couldn't do without.
