FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found a genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throat, Influenza
and la grippe. For years they have
depended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine, but
unfortunately many people would not
take it because of its nauseating and
dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess calo-
mel, called 'Calotabs," whose medici-
nal virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors are claiming that Calotabs are
the ideal remedy to abort a cold over
night and cut short an attack of sore
throat or la grippe, They are also
finding it most effective as the first
step in the treatment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating or
your work and pleasure. The next
morning your cold has vanished and
your whole system is purified and re-
freshed. Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages; price thirty
five cents. Your druggist recommends
and guarantees them by refunding the
price # you are not delighted. adv

THE BOY SCOUTS.

A troop of Boy Scouts is being or
gained in Americas, and dozens Of
boys are enthusiastically urging their
parents to give them permission to
become members. Most of the boys
know something about the Scouts, for
it is an institution that gets right to
the heart of the average youth. hut
many of the parents are ignorant of
the movement and its purposes. To
these the information is volunteered
that the Boy Scouts is an organization
of boys, directed by men, with the sole
purpose of making healthy, efficient
men and useful citizens out of them
with especial attention to character
building.
Here is THE Scout LAX" and it tells
the story:

UP TO THE BANKS.

Council declined to act last night
upon the proposition to indorse the
proposal to have Americas placed in
Eastern time, instead of Central, in
the face of apparently overwhelming
public sentiment favoring it, upon the
plea of Mayor Council that the change
would work a hardship upon the
farmer.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Council
that when the farmer comes to town
in the afternoon he even now has
trouble in getting around in time to
do his banking business before clos
ing hours, and that to move this clos
ing up one hour would work great
hardship in this respect to the farmer.
All of which was apparent-a valid,
genuine and potent argument against
the change. And it might be an argu-
ment sufficiently strong to justify the
overriding of the public wish, WE'RE
IT NOT FOR THE FACT THAT IT
is so OBVIOUSLY EASY FOR THE
BANKS THEMSELVES TO UNDO
ANY HARM THAT MIGHT RESULT
in this respect by the change. 1t ap,
pears 10 be a simple matter, if bus
ness requirements justify, for the
banks to remain open until 3 O'Clock
instead of closing at 2, which would
give them the same sun time as the"
are now operating under, and would
accommodate the farmers exactly as
well as they are now being accom-
modated.
Mayor Council announced on the
floor of the council last night that he
personally favored the change-be-
cause it would result in certain per
sonal benefits to himself and to the
public at large within the city. Bu,
he was solicitous for the farmer wn)
comes to town. However, local mer
chants who were present declared that
practically all the business done by
them was transacted now before 5
o'clock and that no hardship on them
selves or anyone would result from
the change in time, but, on the other
hand, great savings in expenses for
light would result.
There appears to be an easy sOlu-
ton to the problem. The public ap-
parently wants the change. The far
mer should have every convenience
in doing business when he comes to
the city. His principal inconvenience,
should the change in time be made,
would result from finding the banks
closed an hour earlier (sun time) than
at present. Should the banks remain
open an hour later-and begin bust
ness an hour later in the morning if
they choose-the problem would be
met. with little or no inconvenience
to the public, a great economy in day
light saving and more hours outside
in daylight for the business and Office
man-which means more health and
happiness and prosperity all around
