Calomel Tablets That Arc
Nausealess, Safe and Sure.
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. Gen

Never neglect a chest cold.

When a cold goes down deep, with*soreness,
tight breathing and a heavy, hollow cough, apply

the circulation of the blood throughout the

The Rotary club held its regular j

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.

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

over the throat and chest. In severe cases first
redden the skin to open the pores tsee direc

LONDON, Jan. 31.—(8y Asso
ciated Press.) Venizetois will re
tain the premiership for time
being, says a Reuters dispatch from
Athens, although he will not at
tend t’ne assembly.
M. Kafandaris, who is anti-repub-1
lican, is considered the most prob- j
able successor to Venizeios should i
the latter resign . ,
FAMOUS FRENCH
PROFESSOR CALLED
i ATHENS, Jan. 31. 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.

“Do you mean to say you believfc
slie'il throw me over?” demanded'
Clareriug fiercely.
“I think you’re in danger, arid
if I were you I'd throw Mr. Dinwid
dle’s advice to the Winds and take
the morning train for New York.”
“Don’t you believe that she loves
me?” ,
“Oh, yes. 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

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

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

“Madame has retired.”
He hung up. He had-ascertain

would ever bs. lie -rfe value
of dignity and selGci>nti|ff!,; and
whatever might conus.hp would sac
rifice neither. 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. ■
