CALOMtL ROBBED DE
 NAUSEA AND DANGER
Medical Virtues Retained and Im- prOved-Unpleasant and Dan. gerOus Qualities Removed New Variety Called
 "CalOtabS.'

The latest triumph of medical sci ence is a purified calomel, known as 'Calotabs." The old-style calomel, as all doctors known. was the best and most generally useful of all medi- cines. The new variety, known as Calotabs. is purified and refined from all objectionable qualities, and is most delightful in effect.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed- time, swallow of water-that's all. No taste, no gripping, no nausea, no danger. Next morning you awake. feeling fine, with a clean liver, a purified system and a hearty appe- tite for breakfast. Eat what you please. There is no restriction of ha- bit or diet. Calotabs are sold only in original, sealed packages: price thir- ty-five cents. Your druggist recom- mends Calotabs and will refund your money if you are not delightful with them.-(Advt.l

The senate military commit tee met before the senate convened and reported the house bill with min or amendments, after adding the sen- ate amendments including the "work or fight" proposal.
 The senate committee struck out the amendment of. Representative Treadway of Massachusetts, adopt ed by the house, providing for ap- pointment of special examiners by the provost marshal general to re-class- ify men in existing deferred classes. This amendment, the committee a. greed, would cripple authority of state draft boards and is unnecessary because General Crowder already has power to make re-classification deem- ed desirable.
 After attempting to modify it had failed the senate accepted without a record vote the committee providing tha tthe wife of soldier or sailor shall not be dissualified for any posi- tion under the government because she is married.

NAME "JACKIE'
 IS NOW TABOO

Great Lakes, Ill.,, Aug. Jack ie" is doomed. Officers and men of the Great. Lakes Naval Training Station. their patience exhausted by public use of the term in referring to sailors have declared a new type of warfare
 Instead of being term of affection ate esteem as intended by the public, the title is highly effeminate and in no way describes the true Great Lakes blueiacket, officers declare. They add that the Great Lakes sailors are real men and real fighters-not magazine cover idols.
 The Great Lakes Bulletin, official paper at the Station. points out that the good meaning civilians who in sisted on picturing' the men as rosy checked youngsters who had joined the navy much as they would pick up "a new toy, must be supplied with new titles if "Jackie/is to be buried. So the paper offers these synonyms:
 Sailor. z Cob. ' Tar.

 Jack.
 Bluejacket.
 eff any civilian called a sailor in this station molly-oddle there would be a grand fight" says the Bulletin. Yet the sailors stand for the ap- pellation Jackie"
