HALLOWEEN FRANKS
 KEEP POLICEMEN BUSY

Birmingham's youngsters celebrated Halloween last night in a typical way. The life of policeman was made mis- erable by the youngsters who, scat tered in all parts of the city, kept the special force of men continually on the go from o'clock until well into the morning. No accidents occurred, however, to mar the occasion and while the pranks of the boys were a bit too serious in some instances, the majority kept well in the scope of the usual method of celebrating.
 Perhaps the most serious offense of the night was the burning of a 10-ton pile of hay in Avondale, near the cot ton mill quarters. A crowd of boys set fire to the hay stacked in a field hundred yards from some houses and then fled The fire department was called to prevent the possibility of spreading flame.
 Police authorities received the most trouble from boys in West End, Avon dale and the cotton mill district. An extra guard was placed in these sec tions as the first force proved incap- able of handling the situation and it was near o'clock before the well or- ganized gangs were put to rout, but not until they had accomplished their desire.
 The tricks and pranks of the youths consisted chiefly in the disposal of anything movable, such as front porch
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-01

furniture; few electric lights were broken; soaping car tracks on in ciines and placing obstacles in the streets.
 Not single arrest was made dur ing the night. A large number of boys were escorted to their homes by po- lice after they had been captured Tn the act of committing a prank.
 Police encountered little trouble on the north or south side of the city. Few complaints were received from East Lake, Woodlawn and tie Ensley district.
 The night was Ideal for celebra- ton of the ancient mythical perform ances of the witches. While the young sters were playing havoc with police authorities other methods of celebra'. tion were also being held. Dances and parties were given in all parts of the city.
 At the Knights of Columbus hall a Halloween party was given by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the A. 0. H. for the benefit of the war fund of the Knights of Columbus.
 A large masquerade ball was given at Miles dancing hall on Third ave- nue. which was exceptionally well at tended.
 In all, Birmingham had great Hal loween. Almost everybody enjoyed the occasion except possibly the police men, for 1t was one of the busiest days since the same day last year for the guardians of peace.

Doctors Say Calomel
 Is Best Medicine

According to the worlds greatest physicians and mdical experts. calomel is the best and most universally useful of all medicines. Medical authorities prescribe calomel for almost every dis ease and explain that 1t Is the best and surest of all system purifiers. They say that calomel cleanses the liver. storn- ach. bowels and kidneys and purifies the blood from all poisons. making the system pure and clean so that nature can quickly restore the health.
 Now that science has purified calo- mel of all It's nauseating and danger ous qualities. the new kind of calomel, called "Calotabs," is even more popu- lar than the old As a liver cleanser and system purifier Calotabs are more effective than the old style calomel, yet are entirely delightful in effect. One Calotab at bedtime. with a swal- low of water--that's all. No nausea nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next morning you awake feeling fine, with hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please and go where you please-there is no restriction of habit or diet.
 Calotabs are sold only in original, sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. Your druggist recommends and guarantees Calotabs. and will refund your money if you are not delighted with them.--Ad.
