BEST fBII COLDS
MDJNFLUENZs
Doctors Now Prescibe Calotab*, the
Purified Calomel Tablets That
Are Nausealess, Safe
and Sure.
Doctors are warding the public
that simple colds and mild cases of
influenza often lead to pneumonia
and other serious complications.
They say that every cold should re
ceive immediate attention and that
the first step in the treatment is to
make sure that the liver is active.
For this purpose Calotabs, the per
fected, nausealess calomel tablets are
the surest, best and most agreeable
laxative.
One Calotab at bed time with a
swallow of water—that’s all, no '
salts, no nausea, and no upsetting of i
the digestion and appetite. Next
morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is
purified and refreshed and you are
feeling fine with a hearty appetite
for breakfast. Eat what you please
—no danger.
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents. All druggists
recommend and guarantee Calotabs
and are authorized to refund the
price if you are not delighted with
them.— (adv)

Skin Specialists Discover That
Painful, Perspiring, Swollen,

Nails Are Due to “Germs.”
Alborum, Used as Foot Bath, Re

Soreness, Dispels Odors, Kills
the Germs and Restores Feet
, To Healthy Condition.
Skin specialists have discovered
that painful, perspiring, swollen feet,
| with corns, bunions and ingrowing
j nails, are all caused by germs which
grow in the pores of the skin, caus
ing decay of the cuticle, rawness,
eczema, inflammation and odor.
These germs are instantly destroy
ed by Alborum, a cleansing, soothing,
deodorizing and healing antisepitic
and astringent. It draws out the
inflammation and soreness, dispels
the odor and quickly restores health
to both skin and nails.
An Alborum foot bath is made by
simply dissolving a little Alborum in
warm water. Get a package from any
druggist for 35c. Alborum has many
other daily uses as an antiseptic in

FIRST PREMIUM INGOT.
! The first veritable platinum ingot
| was made by a French chemist, Caba
neau, in 1783. Charles 111 of Spain
had called him to Madrid and crested
a special chair of mlneralology, pnys-
Ics and chemistry for him. In his lab
oratory he found the secret of render
ing the new metal lualletrble. and this
1 is the way he revealed the fact to one
of his patrons: “Three months later,
at the home of the count of Aranda,
there appeared upon a table an ingot
some 10 centimeters cube (about four
Inches), with a beautiful metallic lus
ter; It was malleable platinum.”
Vicarious Courtship.
Under the social Ideals of China

About Frogs.
The name frog was applied to a per
son as typifying a race or nation Io
the "History of John Bull.” by Dr.
John Arbuthnot, physician and wit,
the friqml of the famous men of let
ters, Swift and Pope. In this book,
published in 1712, Nick Frog” is the
name given to the Dutchman, not ,o
the Frenchman. Frogs are also call,
ed "Dutch Nightingales.”
What Are Snags?
A woman puzzled an English magis
trate recently by asking for a summons

Sfcven Million Passenger Cars
and Trucks to Burn. Is Your
Car Protected Against This
Loss?
Seven million passenger cars and trucks will be in use during 1920.
By the end of the year how many will have gone trp in flames? How
many pleasure trips will be spoiled because the car lacked fire protec
tion? How many trucks will fail to deliver their valuable loads for the
same reason, and how much business will be lost through poor service
resulting? Most important of all how many lives will be lost under
burning cars?
In 1919 the increase in automobile fires lead insurance companies
to raise their rates. Proper fire protection would have prevented most
of this loss. Fire starts easily in a motor car and is just as easily put
out if the right means are at hand. The insurance companies recognize
this and give a reduction of 15% in fire insurance premiums when
proper eafinguishers are installed. Fire protection for automobiles has
kept pace with other developments of industry. The PRYENE FIRE EX
TINGUISHER to-day is simple; can be used by women and children;
won’t freeze; won’t damage machinery or upholstery and above all puts
out the fire.
Do not delay but call at our store today and let us demonstrate this
wonderful extinguisher.
