FOR COLDS AND
GRIPPE FOLLOW
DOCTORS ADVICE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of a cold. cough, in
fiuenza or grippe should invariably
be "a brisk calomel purgative, pre-
ferably the nausealess calomel, call
ed "Calotabs.' This alone is often
sufficient to break up a severe cold
over night, or cut short an attack of
grippe and possibly prevent pneu-
monia.
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 arc sold only in origi-
nal sealed packages; price thirty-fve
cents. Recommended and guaran-
teed by druggists everywhere. Price

Proclamation by President Wilson.

On November 29 Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States OF
America, signed the proclamation
given below, for release to the Amer
lean people on December IL. 1t
shows conclusively the deep interest
the President has in the Armenian
and Syrian Relief Drive of the Amer
lean Committee for Relief in the
Near East, and also ccrtifies to the
great work the committee has al
ready done for the relief Of the four
million people who are starving in
the Near East. The proclamation is
as follows:
For more than three years Ameri-
can philanthropy has been a large
factor in keeping alive Armenian,
Syrian, Greek and other exiles and
refugees of Western Asia.
On two former occasions l have
appealed to the American people in
behalf of these homeless sufferers
whom the vicissitudes of war and
massacre had brought to the ex-
tremest need
The response has been most gen.
erous, but now the period of re-
Mobilization is at hand. Vastly larger
sums will be required to restore these
once prosperous, but now impover-

ished, refugees to their former homes
than were required merely to sustain
life in their desert exile.
It is estimated that about 4,000,-
600 Armenian, Syrian, Greek and
other war sufferers in the Near East
will require outside help to sustain
them thru the winter. Many OF
them are now hundreds of miles
from their homeland. The vast ma
jority of them are helpless women
and children, including, 100000 or
phans.
The American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East is appealing
for a minimum of $30,OO0.0O0 to be
subscribed January 1919, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
l, therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain thru the winter months those
who, thru no fault of their own, have
been left in a starving, shelterless
condition, and to help re-establish
these ancient and sorely oppressed
people in their former homes on a
self-supporting basis.

1t would not be advisable to SOW
Sudan grass along with orchard grass
or blue grass because the Sudan grass
would prevent the growth of the
weaker grasses. Orchard grass and
blue grass seed is so expensive that
neither should be sown except under
the most favorable conditions, and
certainly Sudan grass would make
conditions unfayorable.
There are several good mixtures of
grasses for permanent pastures.
There is. however, no mixture of the

General March Thus Interprets

Save Ships For Army And supp'fes-
Every Man Possible To BE Hur-

Washington.-"We must strip Tor
action"
That was the official warning Of Act
ing Chief Of Staff March in the light
of pressing appeals from England,
France, General Pershing and else
where for more ship space for troops
and army freight.
In a statement explaining an order
cutting down parcel shipments to SOL
diers March said that "a most urgent
war necessity" required limitation OF
such shipments. At present they take
up $50 tons of shipping space week.
Hereafter parcels will be sent only
on the soldiers request. This llml-
tation of ship space, announced re-
Gently is in line with MARGINS policy
Of getting every available man to
France in the shortest possible time.
1t also complies with Lloyd Georges
appeal for hurrying reinforcements to
the beleaguered west front.
The restriction and other economies
are being effected. Hurrying of Ma
tional Army units across is one of the
means of furnishing quick and able
backing to the Allies.
France some weeks ago first urged
the movement and England has now
added her plea in a message to the
British Ambassador, and commun1-
Gated to this Government. An1 Cen
eral Leonard Wood is anxious to have
men hurried across with less train
ing on this side than was accorded the
first draft men.
Wood suggests that slow ships be
segregated in conveys. At present
ships of varying speeds are guarded
by speedy destroyers and the whole
convoy must be tuned down to ac-
commodate the slowest ship. Segre-
CATION of the slower ships would tend
to speed up the general troop move
ment, Wood believes.
Council To Straighten Kinks.
President Wilson's informal war
council" is seeking to straighten out
kinks in the war machine to the end
that there shall be:
Less railroad congestion.
More speed in ship construction.
Better facilities for handling fuel
and food situations.
Increased activity from the War
Industries and War Trade Boards.
And, as a whole, more effective
| prosecution of the war.
This council. with Secretary Daniels
and Provost Marshall General Crowder
added, will meet each Wednesday.
And with the need for troops more
pressing than ever before, it will seek
to find the remedies for ills which
have plagued and clogged the war
| machine hitherto.

kntcl<knacks In NeckWear.
There is so much attractive new
ueckwear that 1t is really difficult to
pin oneself down to reasonable
choice. OF course. it is not all becom-
ing to everybody. but 1t is all tempting.
And the choice must be made with
care that the neckwear is becoming.
One Of the newest things, perhaps, Is
the stock and frill idea-that is, some
sort of stock collar with frilled jabot
attached, that suggests the old-fash-
toned mans ruff1ed shirt. There are
some times wrist frills to 60 with these
sets.
One of the new collars consists Of q
stock of black satin. unrelieved by any
white, to which is attached big jabot
Of fine-meshed cream-cOlOred net, edg-
ed with lace. The effect is decidedly
smart, although the absence of any
white in the stock might not be well
borne by some faces.
Another unusual use of black in col
lars is to be found in a ruftled collar
that opens in front with the usual "
line, and is made of white Organdie
edged with narrow black lace. Doubt
less black lace as trimming to white
organdie will be seen again and again
