THE KAISER HAS QUIT
TALKING SO FREELY
London, Dec. 11.—William Hohen
zollern will not make a statement as
to his efforts to prevent the outbreaks
of war in 1914, according to the
American correspondent of The Ex
press. The correspondent has finally
succeeded in having submitted to Herr

DOCTOR'S ADVIGE
Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of a cold, cough, influ
enza or grippe should invariably be
“a brisk calomel purgative, prefer
ably the nausealess calomel, called
Calotabs.” This alone is often suf
ficient to break up a severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack of grip
pe and possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,—that’s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your
entire system is purified and refresh
ed. Calotabs are sold only in origi
nal sealed packages; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaran
teed by druggists everywhere. Price
refunded if you are not delighted.

Hohenzollern questions as to his paci
fic attitude before the war and his
steps to prevent hostilities. Count
von Bentinck, the host of the former
emperor, received the corespondent
after the question had been laid be
fore Herr Hohenzollern and is re
ported to have said:
“The kaiser much appreciates your
message and thanks you. He says:
“Tell him if there is any possibility
of my becoming a defendant I pre
fer postpening anything I have to say
until that time. In addition Ido not
desire in any way to compromise any
member of the government as it ex
isted at the time of the outbreak of
the war'.”
