sudden increase in the enlisted
strength of the Navy from $4,000
prior to the outbreak Of the war to
its present strength of well over 20o.-
900 in all branches presented many
problems with respect to tho clothing.
The early war plans called for
clothing for a total strength OF some
80. 900 men. and owing to the limited
| storage facilities. just as We were enter
ing the war with Germany. it was inn
practicable to keep on hand more than
$4,000 outfits. This number, however.
would have taken care Of the total ex-
pected strength and the additional out
fits needed could have been procured in a
! very short time, but the question o.
clothing over 100000 men was totally
different matter.
In order to meet the demand. the Navy
clothing factory at Charleston. 8. c..
was put on a two-shift basis Of ten
hours each, and temporary structure
In which to operate more machines was
erected. Just when 1t was thought. how
ever. that the Charleston factory would
be able to take care of the needs for
white and dungaree garments-the only
garments now being manufactured there
arose concerning the
employment Of operatives: and whereas
there were accommodations for about
| 800 operatives at Charleston. Of which
only 500 had already been taken on, no
more could be employed even to fill
vacancies. SO that. with the factory
, running at about half its capacity, the
expected supply Of clothing was cut
down 80 per cent In order to meet this
unexpected turn of affairs. large con-
tracts were made with outside firms for
the ma nufacture of white and dungaree
clothing.
The use of the immigration builGing at
Charleston has now been obtained from
the Department of Labor and this build
ing Is fitted with the necessary machines
and operated as an adjunct to the cloth
ing factory. In this way 1t Is hoped to
keep the clothing factory at Charleston
In existence. But recent developments
made it appear doubtful as to whether
even this expedient will settle the Ques-
tion in accordance with civil service
rules and regulations.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throat and la
grippe. For years they have de-
pended 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 cal
omel, called "Calotabs" whose medi-
cinal virtues are vastly improved,
the doctors and druggists are claim
ing that Calotabs are the ideal
remedy to abort 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
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure. The
next morning your cold has vanished
and your whole system is purified and
refreshed. Calotabs are sold only
in original sealed packages; price
thirty-five cents. Your druggist
recommends and guarantees them by
refunding the price if you are not de-
hghted.-adv.
