Take a spoonful and if it doesn't you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you. to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you sick. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and' clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable.

It's horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose a day's work. Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. This, is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and "all knocked out," if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson's liver Tone 'tonight on my guarantee.

Bringing the trade and business improvement closer home, the bank clearings in Baltimore for March were nearly $1,000,000 greater than In March of last year. This may not all represent the growth of trade, which a return of confidence is bound stimulate, certain it is that it does represent this growth in part. Since the improvement began the tide has gone along almost uninterruptedly and the local mercshants Jook for a still greater expansion as the spring season andathe spring weather progress.

That the retail merchants are Impressed by this improvement, that they have a confidence that many of the unemployed will soon again find work and become wage-earners, is demonstrated by the greater displays they are making of their goods and by their keener desire to have the public become interested in what they have to offer. This Is a feeling which has certainly been absent in any marked degree for months, but these merchants are always quick to catch the public pulse and are the first to observe when the spending power of the masses hows improvement. Their greater dis plays and their eagerness to secure the custom of the spenders in anticipation of the changed conditions fast becoming apparent to all. The Saturday Evening Post, recognized as a national advertising medium, makes this feature of the conditions as they now exist very clear in the an nouncement it makes of its issue this week. It says it wip publish 229 columns of advertisments, the largest number ever published in any one issue.

These announcements come from all over the country, showing conclusively the belief that the masses everywhere have now the power to supply their essential needs and perhaps provide some of the luxuries they have heretofore done without. This erreat business in Dublicitv is p0inted to as an honest reflection of the growing confidence in all directions andvof the financial horsepower of the nation's broad gauge, constructive and progressive merchants and manufacturers. This publication is not an exception in this but the same desire- to proclaim to the world that the merchants of the country are wide awake to the improved conditions and that they want to share "in the prosperity apparent on all sides is evident in almost all publications which find their way into the homes of the masses as well as the classes. stops ltd The moment that Resinol Ointment touches itching skin the itching stops and healing begins.

The is the- Julia which the American actress -herself conducted through the canals from Calias to the remote corners of West Flanders, to reach the starving 'refugees between the fighting fronts. 1 can hardly describe to you the pitiful condition of these poor refugees." she continued. "Only today we have clothed 12 families from top to toe, from ten to fourteen people in each family. It is impossible for them to find shelter and they are stuffed like sardines in the barns, even in the pig-tys and hen houses, in fact, in any place that has a roof. "In a house close by eighty, sdlers on the ground floor, and in a tiny room adjoining are fragments of several families, fifteen people in all.

Two of the children are down with one on the floor and one in an old biscuit box, and this is the sort of thing we encounter daily, but we have to make a great Improvement in conditions though it is luite impossible to house them- any hetter. There is not enough room for the army, and as many civilians as possible are sent away continually, but still they come on shelled out of their homes, and buffeted about from one wretched place to another. "I have arranged with a bakery close by to bake several hundred loaves of bread a day, and yesterday a bomb liropped in front of the door, killing man and three- horses. It tore a iuiu5u w. w.

8 nroiie every pane or glass in tne Date- ry. and all the yeast and bread, for the day's supply had to be thrown awpy it was full of glass splinters. Several other bombs were thrown a Utile further on killing eight people in all. It seems such a senseless sort of warfare for no one but little children and harmless civilians are the sufferers. "What horror, horror, everywhere the glorious thing called war brings in its train.

We see nothing but sad sights, and yet tins people themselves are not sad. It is surprising what people can live through. There is a family of five living in a hand cart close by annd have been there five months! They have roofed the top over with sacking and a strip of canvass and there they tuck themselves away and til soldiers feed them. Of course the military authorities say the' refugees are gone now because they 'don't see them with their little bundles crying by the roadside, but poor things, they lave crowded into every available corner, and cling to. the idea that they may be able to creep back to their homes -when the bombarding ceases.

By that time there won't be much left of their poor little homes I fear.

(Baltunore Sun.) Evidences are rapidly multiplying that business confidence is being steadily restored in all directions. Reports from every section indicate that this return is not confined to any single territory, but that it is fast becoming general.

The business element throughout the country seems to be fast pulling, itself together and to have taken the bull by the horns and proceeded, to throw off and master the spirit of unrest which has been apparent for so long. The business men the so-called "captains of have awakened ct that the more optimistic this spirit can be made the quicker it will permeate to the mass of the people, and the sooner these are aroused to the fact of the great possibilities ahead the sooner will -pessimism disappear and a broad and confident feeling take its place. Timidity is perhaps the most subjective force in the human character. When every one is frightened it is difficult to get an interest bold enough to make a start along the right line. When this spirit of holding back becomes universal all business is bound to become stagnant.

No one denies that this feeling prevailed for. a long time following the outbreak of the European war. But the situation was grappled by many of the bolder ones in the beginning; others followed until the success of the movement was assured. The example was quickly followed until now there is a widespread feeling of optimism where much pessimism previously existed. Nothing has more demonstrated this change of sentiment than the action of the governing committee of the Stock Exchange in New York in decidr ing to abolish the minimums on all the stocks traded in there.

This action was "taken at a special meeting of the committee on Wednesday, declaring that the "fact that financial affairs throughout the country, and our own foreign trade situation have so improved as to remove the danger existing at the time the exchange was reopened last December." This is a potent and a convincing statement and should carry conviction to the most doubtful of the bright outlook ahead. While this action refers to the security market, it has reference to the banking situation as well. As banking is the recognized keystone of all business it should be most assuring and the policy should go a long way toward reviving the confidence necessary "to make all activities hum and prosper. In other words, it ought to remove the feeling of timidity which has been holding so many back. Stock exchanges in-Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and other places where prices had been maintained have taken similar action.

The Baltimore Exchange will act on Monday in like manner say those who have charge of the matter here: New Work Under Way. Another factor showing how the feeling of optimism is growing is to ie found in the statement that the of new corporate financing arranged 1 for in March, $28,000,000 is to be devoted for new work and new enterprises. This shows a growth of confidence stronger than any words pr. argument could make it. It is true'this sum has' been exceeded in "the past in many similar periods but not at a time when the general confidence had been so widely shaken.

At the same time many of the corporations have been able to make" successful refunding "operations for the remaining $45,000,000. In the past seven months the -total amount new capital raised to go ln to new or reconstructed industries has been In the same tim fair-haired pink and white pretty little thing, so happy to be in a bed.
