Doctors have found bv experience that no medicine for coles* coughs, sore throat and influenza ean.be de pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is wh*’ the first step in the treatment is the nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and colds and is one of the most important factors in en abling The patient to successfully withstand an attadk and ward off pneumonia. One or two Calotabs at bed time, with a swallow of water —that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight-* est interference with your eating, pleasure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty -agpetite for breakfast.

Community House ,at the Play-] ground, with the ladies of Chapter! • of Safety, Daugghters of the- Ameri , can Revolution as hosts, the lun ; cheon being served by members oi the chapter. The program rendered ; was most interesting. A feature of the luncheon was the r remarks made by Rotarian J. F.. 1 Mathis relating to the recent killing of Ed Barber, a white man, in the ■ cabin of Oscar Clark, a negro living ' on thy Bagley ’ plantation, Barber having been one of a band of white ■ men.who came over into Sumter • from Crisp county and it is alleged , attack Clarke in his home during 1 the night, pencrating into the ne ‘ gro’s home where Barber was killed, his friends deserting the bouy and retreating with two others who were ] wounded either by Clark’s shots or bullets from their own weapons. YTICKS IS A BOON TO MOTHERS V because it is an "outside" treatment. There is no dosing to upset u child's delicate stomach. You just rub it on. Vicks is a combination in salve form of the old, time rested remedies for colds—Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus and other volatile oils. Being externally applied, it can be used as treely and as often as desired, even on the youngest child, with perfect safety. When the kiddies come in wet and "sniffling” Vicks is applied to prevent colds. An applica tion bedtime will usually prevent a night attack oi croup. Just u$ good. of course, for the cold troubles of adults—sore throat, tonsilitis, head and chest colds, bronchitis, coughs. • Made at first in the hack room of a little drag store in North Carolina, Vicks lias so con sistently demonstrated its worth that now it is mure widely used than any other remedy of its kind. i'v Deep Chest Colds, Sore Throat.Tonsil iife. Bronchitis, Coughs - Rub Vicks briskly over the throat and chest. In severe cases first redden the skin to open the pores tsee direc tions'. Then spread on thickly and coyer with oae or rwo thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the bedclothes loose t.bour the neck so that the vapor* may be freely inhaled.

Because of the inability of Greek physicians to I diagnose Premier Venizeios’ illness, the famous French professor Ab- j ; ramie has been summoned from ! : T> . / 1 Paris.* I The illness of, Premier Venizeios : j has precipitated a grave crisis in j [Greece, full of far-reaching even-! ! totalities extremely and internally! The probabilities that the Veniz:-; los government is about to resign i are increasing, because of the pre mier’s breakdown and the insistence j of the republicans upon having the national assembly declare the-, i Glucksburg dynasty abolished. The external threat is pointed to in political circles as coming from Italy and Jugo-Slavia, who it is reared will adopt an antoginislic attitude if a republic is established other than by a plebiscite. The attack upon the negro’s home ] was indignantly criticiz 'd by the | speaker who offered a resolution' bearing upon the attack. , This resolution, in accordance with club was referred to the board pf directors for approval be-! i fore being placed before the mem-! i bers for final action. It was ap- 1 j parently the unanimous opinion of [ ] Rotarians present that the attack 1 upon Clark was wholly unwarranted and it is probable .further action may through consideration of the I matter by the club.

As love goes.” "What d'you mean by that?” “I mean that Madame Zattiany has long since reached the age when power means more than love —in a woman of that calibre. But you, in turn, have tremendous pow er over her. Sweep her off her feet again and make her marry you.” “You don’t believe she’s gone to Washington?” “I do not. If that was all he wanted of her, why didn’t he tele phone? I am sure he could be am 4 biguous enough to defeat the curi osity of any listeners-in. But a man of that sort does not ask a woman to marry him over the tele phone ” ’ “But Din thinks ” “How long do you think you can stand inaction?” “Not another hour, by God. I’m nearly mad as it is.” “I thought so. You are about the last man on earth equipped to play the waiting game." "Von don't think she means to return here?” “Never. She’s too much of an artist for one thing. She might be willing to begin a new chapter, but she knows that asterisks in the wrong place are fata!. This inter ruption has done for your idyl!” ”1 had thought the same thing.” He sighed heavily. "Oh, yss. Ciavey dear, yon are an artist yourself. No matter what happens never forge,t that it is your destjpy to he a I'tp at one.” “Artist he damned. If—-tf-I-AJod! If I lose her—l’ll never write an other line.” “I don't doubt you think so. But you're only just beginning to know yourself. You got a few glimpses, I should think, while you were writ ing that play.” “Don’t mention that play to me. I hate it. If I hadn’t let my self go with the damned thing I’d have had my wits about me and would have married her off-hand.” “I wonder! Was she go very anxious to marry?” He turned cold. Fear Sared up again. “What do you mean by that?” “Well, I don’t know that ? mean anything. Except that Mke all women she probably wanted te en joy the thrilling hopes and fears ar.d uncertainties of that never to be repeated prelude, to the'limit. Now. better wake up Larsing and order the car if you mean to catch that morning train-. If you don’t want to go hack to bed I'll sit up with you. You can sleep on the train,.” He left the next morning in a dense fog. As Larsing rowed him him across the lake he could not see its surface nor the wall of trees on the opposite bank, and in a moment the camp was obliterated. Only Gora and Larsing knew of his departure. Even Dinwiddie was still asleep. Larsing had made him a cup of coffee, and Gora had packed his hag, moving like a mouse in his room. She kissed him good-bye and patted him on the back. “I’ll go out myself in a day or two,” she said. “You may need me down there.” The fog thinned gradually and the Ford made its usual comfort less speed down the mountain. When they reached' Huntersville the valley was bathed in early mosning sunlight, and Hunters ville, asleep, shared the evanescent charm of the dawn. It was a beau tiful and- a peaceful scene and Clav ering, whose spirits had descended into utter gloom while* enwrapped in that sinister fog, accepted it as a happier portent: and when he was so fortunate as to find an emp ty drawing-room on the express, he went to bed and slept until the porter awoke him at Tarrytown. It was his first impulse to rush direct to Murray Hill, but lie knew the folly of doing anything of the sort. He needed a bath and a shave and a fortifying dinner. He concluded that it would be unwise to telephone, and at nine o'clock he approached her house, reasonably calm and quite deter mined to have his own way. But the house was dark from cellar to roof. Every window was closed al though it was a warm night. He sprang up the steps and rang the bell. He rang again, and then kept his finger on the button for nearly five minutes. lie descended into the area, hut the iron bars were nexv, and im movable. Moreover, a policeman was sauntering opposite. He ap proached the man in a moment and asked him' if he knew whether the house had been open earlier in the evening. Yes, the officer told him, he had seen one of the serv ants go in about half an hour ago Wavering walked away slowly. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 31, > o2 j 'Gatewood, Mrs. W. fr.

It was too- early for them to he in bed. Then liis spir its, which had descended to zero, rose jubilantly. Hohenhauer!, It was against him she was uarriead iug herself. No doubt she would feel herself in a state q£ siege a3 long as the man remained in the country. He went to the nearest hotel and telephoned. He was prepared to be told, after an interminable wait, that there was “no answer"; hut in a moment he heard the voice of the butler. Obeying a sudden impulse he disguised his own. “X should lilcq to speak to Ma dame Zattiany.” “Madame has retired.” He hung up. He had-ascertain ed that she was at home and his spiritual barometer ascended an other notch. ' He'd see her tomor row if he spent the day on her doorstep. He bought an evening paper, picked out a new play, and spent a very agreeable evening at the theatre. " ? LIX His nervous excitement returned next morning, but he forced him self to eat a good breakfast and read his nfewspapers. He was de termined to show-her that he was completely master of himself. She should be able to draw no unfavor able comparisons with Hohen hauer, whose composure had prob ably not been ruffled in forty years.

But he sighed heav ily. “Whatever might ectne.” But he refused to dwell on alternatives. It was ten o'clock when he pre sented himself at Madame Zat tiany's door. As he had hoped, his ring was answered. Hohenhauer was not. the man to cal! on a wom an at ten in the morning. The footman permitted himself to stare, and said d'eprecatingly: "1 am sorry, Mr. Clavering, but Madame told me to admit no vis itors ” ‘Did she?" He entered and toss ed his hat on a high Italian chair. “Kindly tall her that I am in the library and shall remain there un til she is ready to come-down.” The man hesitated, but after all Clavering had had the run of the house, and it was possible that Ma dame, believed him still to be in the mountains. At all events he knew determination when he saw it. and marched reluctantly up the stairs. Clavering went into the library. He was filled with an almost un bearable excitement, but at least tiie man’s assertion that she was at home to no one cemented his belief that she meant to see noth ing further of Hohenhauer. Tie glanced round the beautiful .mellow room so full of memories. After all he had been'happier here than he bad ever been in bis life — upt.il they had gone up to the woods! The room’s benignant at mosphere seemed to enfold him, calmed his fears, subdued that in ner quiver. Surely she would sur render to his influence and to his —whatever had happened. He knew she had always liked him the .better because he did not make love to her the moment they met, but today he would take her by surprise, give’her no time to think. But, as Mrs. Oglethorpe had oUce told him, a clever man is no match for a still cleverer woman. At the end qI fifteen minutes the footman' opened the door and an nounced: “Madame is in the ear, sir, and begs you will join her.” Clavering a violent start and an imprecation. .But there was nothing to do but follow the man! fortunately lie did not have what was known as an "open counte nance.” Let her have her own way for the moment. Ha could-—and would —return with her. For a moment lie felt primitive enough to beat her. ■ (To Be Continued)
