HOW DOCTORS TREAT
 COLDS AND GRIPPE

 Ask any physician or druggist and he
 will tell you that the best and only eff fective remedy for bad oold, sore throat, influenza or la grippe is what he calls "a brisk calomel purge" which means big dose of calomel at bed time. But as the old style calomel has some very unpleasant and dangerous qualities physicians and druggists are now recommending the improved nau- |sealess calomel, called "Calotabs." which is purified and refined from the sick ening and dangerous effects and whose medicinal virtues are vastly improved. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your diet, pleas |ures or work. Next morning your cold has vanished and your entire system is purified and refreshed
 Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty five cents. Your druggist guarantees Calotabs by lrefundine the price if you are not de- lighted Adv.

ALABAMA ID SHOW GOVERNMENT II IS EAGER FOR TROOPS State Greatly Interested in Plan to Sell Farms to
 the Men WILL BE ALLOWED LONG TIME PAYMENT Alabamians Call on Secretary Lane and Obtain Full Information About Plans for Handling
 the Subject
By FRED l.. GoRMLEY

Washington November 1S.-(Speciall ) Alabama has an opportunity now to show the government that it would like to have returned soldiers on its vacant farms and on lands which are not at this time ready for cultivation.
 The government is determined to care for the soldiers when they return and in it's general scheme for development of the soldiers and nation 1t IS prepar- ing to take over large tracts or lands, develop them at the expense or the pup lie treasury, sell them to soldiers on long payments and thus help the nation to produce the food supplies necessary in the future as well as the soldiers to put themselves in better financial position.
 deleeation of citizens of Alabama called upon Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, last week and obtained information about the governments plan which is being handled by the depart ment of the interior. This delegation consisted of Lloyd M. Hooper, chairman of the Alabama council of defense; Rich ard NJ Hobbie federal food admins trator for Alabama; pr. R, H. McCas- lin pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Montgomery; William T. Shee- han. editor of the Montgomery Adver- tiser and Fred H. Gormley, executive secretary Of the AlaDafna couiicil ol ue- fense.
 The government has already completed preliminary survey of Alabama and has found that there are more than 1o. OO0OoO acres of cut-over lands and more than 100000 acres of swamp lands In Alabama which could be made available for cultivation by the expenditure or a comparatively small amount of money. However the work cannot be done by the individual owners. because the out lay of money would be too great for the owners. Only the government can hanole the project successfully.
 Congress has made an appropriation of s1O0,0OO for preliminary investigations. A committee of Congress has reported fayorsbly a bill appropriatlng sl,OOoOoO for the completion of surveys of all states in the union. After these surveys are made Congress can be told how much money will be necessary to carry out the plan.
 Ii is proposed to do the necessary re- pair work and sell the farms to returned soldiers and persons employed by the government during the war charging small rate of interest and permitting the purchasers to take 30 or 40 years in pay ing for their lands.
 Alabama is particularly interested in the plan because a large number of negroes have left the state recently and their places must be filled by intelligent white farmers. It is known that many soldiers of the Ohio division and other northern troops will want to locate here, having been impressed with the climate while in training in Alabama.

STUDY OF GERMAN |. FINANCES BY U. 5.
 NOW UNDER WAY
Effort Being Made to Throw Light on Ability to Pay Huge War pee:s.ts Which
 Have Piled Up

1 Washington, November 1S.--Study of Germany's Financial situation has been undertaken by government agencies here with 3 view to throwing light on the ability of the sGerman nation to pay the big sums as reparation Tor devastation of invaded countries. on- official reports indicate that Ger many's national debt, represented mainly by war bonds held within the empire, is nearly s35,oo0, 100000, or more than two-f fifths of the estimated national wealth of SSo,0oo,o ,oO0,ooo
 Although there has been no offlcial announcement or intimation of the az sregate amount which the allies Will expect Germany to pay. it is certain to run into billions or dollars and nee essarily the terms of payment must accord with Germany's ability to pay This ability will be measured by the nations power to revive her peace tlne industries and trade and to tax thls TOT state purposes. Financial observers here say some claims for restitution and restoration of a few allied nations are extravagant because they are beyond Germanys ability. The victorious all lies will not concern themselves pfl- marlly it is believed, with Germany redemption of her own national debt. since this is largely internal. Ofr- cials here do not believe the govern ment will repudiate the international indebtedness but think rather that taxes will be made so heavy as to force citizens to turn in their bonds as set dement, In this way the debt would be cancelled without actual repudla- tion.
 MAY SET INDEFINITE SUM
 There is some discussion in official circles here of the advisability of the allies requirding payment of an in definite amount for reparation, this sum to be determined in the future by commissions as the physical recon struction progresses in Belgium and France, and the actual cost of the work becomes more clearly determined h. terest on the part of American of- ficials in the subject is somewhat ln- direct inasmuch as the government expects none of the payments to go to it's credit.
 Whatever may be the weight of the final burden of reparation and resti- tuition to be placed on Germany, the enormity of her task may be illus trated by comparison of her national debt with that of the United States. Germany has 66,000,000 population and $50, ,00O, O00, 900 of national wealth to pay s35,000,000,000 war debt already created The United States has 1i',- 100000 population and an estimated national wealth of s25o 900, 900, 900 to pay nearly s18,OO0, 900, 900 war debt ai ready created or approximately s2S,- 000, ,00O,00 within another six months. This means that the per capita burden will be at least three times greater in Germany than in the United States.
