bell rang shrilly until she entered
and closed it after her.
For moment she stood uncertain
ly IN the little reception room. Then
the doctor, white-coated, and with
an instrument in his hand, appeared
at the office door.
"Oh, good afternoon, Mrs. Curtis,
III see you just in a few minutes.
I'm not quit through yet"
Helen took a chair by the table
old magazines. There were a num-
Der of humorous weeklies, much
thumbed among them. Evidently
people who were waiting for the
dentist did not care for any heavier
literature than that offered by a
comic paper.
The peculiar odor of mingled drugs
and antiseptics that is always a part
of the atmosphere of a dentists of
flee filled the room. In vain Helen
tried to force down that fluttering
tremulous feeling that this odor and
the nearness to the dental chair
always brought.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and
only effective remedy for a bad cold
sore throat or la grippe is what he
calls "a brisk calomel purge" which
means a big dose of calomel at bed
time. But as the old style calomel
has some very unpleasant and dan
gerous qualities physicians and drug
gists are now recommending the i'm
proved nausealess calomel, called
"Calotabs" which is purified and re-
fined from the sickening and danger
Gus effects and whose medicinal vir-
lures are vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents Your druggist guarantees
Calotabs by refunding the price if
you are not delighted.-Adv.

By Fowler"
At a conference in Washington on
the 18th and 10th inst, between the
United States Food Control and the
state authorities of the Atlantic and
Gulf states and the fishermen and
fish dealers of these states, the cues
ton of setting aside the laws IN
these states with reference to the
catching of fish was discussed. The
matter so far as the outside waters
tied between the state authorities
of Florida and Mr.. Herbert G..
Hoover, who has the control of food
for the national government.
One point in question is whether
or not haul seins and purse seines
may be used in the Indian river and
other interior waters. The state au-
thorities took the position that these
seines would destroy the fisk in our
interior waters, especially the null
let, which is not migratory fish.
Your presence is requested at this
meeting. The interests of the state
and nation are at stake, and you
should be present, if you possibly do
so.

Council to Equip

Captain pcaurcgard Lorraine Appears
To Finance Committee to FURNISH
Money for Purpose.

Among the propositions urged be
fore the finance committee last night
was a resolution asking for an appro-
prlation of $4,000 foY arming and
otherwise equipping members OF the
Home Defense league.
A resolution to that effect had been
forwarded to- council by Mayor Aims
lie. who pointed out the i'm portance
Of such a step. He showed that mem
hers of the league were becoming as
couraged. when they were forced 20
drill week after week and to hoQi
themselves in readiness to aid in sup
pressing any unlawful demonstraflon'

captain Beauregard Lorraine ap-
ueared before the committee last
night in advocacy OF the resolution,
He said the men had been giving much
OF their time for fifteen months, and
were enthusiastic in the work. nut
the enthusiasm would dwindle II they
were not armed.
1T is absurd TO ask man To go
out 10 help protect the city Wheh ne
has nothing with which 10 protect
himself" said Captain larraine. we
believe that IL the city Will furnish
one hundred pistols and two hundred
guns. we may be able 10 handle any

about five hundred members of the
league. hut two hundred guns for
drill purposes. or for suppressing riots
may bridge over the situation. and as
there are a number Of the men who
own their pistols, one hundred of such
weapons may meet the situation"
Councilman Seaton pointed. out that
the city had no money, and that II
this appropriation were made the city
would have to borrow the money.
Well said Captain Lorraine, this
is the city's business and. like all bag
business concerns. when il needs the
money II should borrow it."
Several members OF the committee
suggested that they would lend tbs
mem bers of the league their pistols
and II was said that perhaps many
citizens would do likewise, but this
plan was looked upon as an over
grown village idea. and was not taker
seriously
the weapons was presented by Cap
tain Lorraine, who had taken much
time and trouble to look into the mat
ter. The committee appreciated th'
importance of the appeal, and the
value of the organization to the cit,
was realized.

Is the commemorative attorney a
state or a city officer? This question
was debated at the meeting Of the
finance committee OF city council last
night. when Commonwealth Attorney
George r Wise appeared before that
body IA urge an appropriation TO pay
Tor an assistant in the office
The sentiment Of members Of the
committee was that the office Ia a
state institution. and that the city has
nothing 10 do with the appointment
or pay of an assistant All members
agreed. with Mr. Wise that the office
is too crowded with business for one
man TO properly handle. but the com
mittee did not believe il could tres
pass Upon the rights of the state in
the matter. However. at the next
meeting Of the committee the city
attorney will be requested TO he pres
emit 10 make suggestions In reference
TO the question.
Mr.. wise Indicated that he would
be glad 10 have an assistant, as the
work in his Office had grown TO such
proportions that & Is physically i'm

condition OF the ONCE was Just as It

that the condition was appalling and
he wanted the city to he in condi-
ton 10 properly administer Justice.
It was suggested that Common
wealth's Attorney Page, Of South
Richmond, might be called upon TO
help, but MFR. Wise replied that this
would he impractical, as he needed a
man who could give his entire time
10 the work by attending the sessions
of police court every day, and help in
gathering evidence and framing up
cases.
A letter from Judge Richardson en-
dorsing the proposition was read.
There is now an ordinance before the

hoped the city would be prepared by
that time TO make the help a per
