CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLLGG1SH
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose a Day's Work
Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug-
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes inr.to
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a 50 cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, 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 back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
eick and nauseated tomorrow; besides
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake
up feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.

"I had LaGrippe and on recovering
my kidneys were badly' weakened. I
was troubled by a dull, heavy ache
through my kidneys and back and I
got up in the morning, tired and
lame. I felt languid and had but lit-

aches and dizzy spells and was great-
ly annoyed by irregular action of my
kidneys. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised, I got a box at the Palace

began to improve rapidly. I used two
boxes, and since then my back has
not troubled me any my kidneys have

other big
leagues who are bound by strong con-
tracts, the National and American
leagues found such a course mighty
unpopular and abandoned the open
warf; re. The Feds are acting as gen-
tlemanly as outlaws can—for its own
protection organized baseball is doing
thp same.
Whether the Feds are losine money
is a mystery which concerns f ederal
owners more than anyone else. It
they are playing at a loss, as O. B.
claims every other day, organized
baseball should have just that much
less to worry about.
Federal league owners have adopt-
ed baseball as a business proposition
and seem perfectly content to stand
whatever loss occurs in making it a
paying one. In their second year the
Feds have eight teams playing a reg-
ular schedule and doubtless a few of
tham are making expenses. That in
itself is a worthy achievement and the
men who brought this about will pro-
bably realize a profit on their invest-
ment in time. And until that time
comes the men backing the outlaw
teams can afford to lose considerable
money, as they all are men of inde-
pendent wealth.
In the money losing game organiz-
ed baseball is entitled to a little credit
itself. What about the money it has
spent in fighting the outsiders? No
one pretends to know how much it is,
but it is no meager amount. And the
sad part about this lost O. B. cash, is
that it is probably gone forever, for
gate receipts in organized baseball
parks are not growing larger. In fact,
they may even be decreasing.
