ties prescribe calomel for almost
every disease. The reason is that cal
mel is the creates and only thorough
syste n-purifer. 1t makes the liver
active. drives out the poisons from
the stomach, bowels and kidneys and
thereby purifies the blood. Calomel
puts the entire system in the most
favorable condition for Nature to ex-
ercise her recuperative power. Your
doctor will tell you that drugs merely
assist nature Taat is why he pre-
scribes calomel so cften.
The lew kind of ca.omel, called
"Calota5s" is refined and purified
from all Of the nauseating and dan
rerous qualities Of the old style calo-
mel and is rapidly taking its place,
FOR it is more effective than the old
style calomel as a liver-cleanser and
system-purifer. One Calotab at bed
time, with swallow of water-that's
all. No nausea, nor the slightest I'M
pleasantness. Next morning yoa
awake feeling fne--with hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
a~e-fruits, acids or anything No
restrictions of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
bv druggists everywhere. Your

corn FLOUR IS
TO COST LESS
Consumers Feeling GOOd Over Ke'
duction In Lawrenee-Retail-
ers Making Too Much
Profit

Lawrence, April 22-Consumers OF
Lawrence are ready today to place
the stamp of approval on the United
States food administration because 1t
has saved them from 2 to 3 cents a
pound on the price of corn flour
Acting under the suggestion OF
Walter p. Innes, federal food admin
istrator for Kansas, the price Of corn
flour has gone down. "A week ago
Mr.. Innes wrote US the prices were
too high" said Clarence S. Hall, coun-
ty food administrator, this morning.
"The retailer was then paying Z cents
per pound and selling for 9 cents and
| 10 cents u pound. At meeting a
week ago tonight of the food price
Interpretation committee, the price to
the retailer was cut to &C cents per
pound and to the consumer was cut TO
s and 9 cents a pound. Mr.. lnnes
was informed of the action taken, and
said the Lawrence price was still out
of line with prices in other cities OF
the state.
ave adjusted the matter Friday
after consultation with wholesalers
and retailers SO that the consumer
will get a further reduction in the
cost of corn flour. The retailer VIII
now buy corn flour for 6 cents q
pound and sell it for Z cents pound
This schedule is effective at once"
Corn flour is a substitute for
wheat flour and the checking up OF
Lawrence prices indicates the food
administration desires to give the con-
sumer all possible benefit of low prices
that will afford q bare margin OF
profit TO the wholesaler and retail

WHAT THE RED CROSS MEANS

The stay-at-home American cannot
realize what the Red Cross means IN
this war. Just as it is the worlds
most colossal struggle, enlisting more
millions and creating a wider havoc
than any other war, so are the de-
mands for mercy greater than ever
before. Without the Red Cross this
war could not be waged; certainly it
cannot be won. l have been with
six armies and on half a dozen fronts.
Wherever l have gone the Red Cross
has been in the thick of battle-hrst
to aid, last to rest. 1t needs every
dollar that can be raised for it: every
bit of loyalty that can be mustered
No money expended in the war reaps
so rich a harvest of gratitude and
service. The Red Cross is succour
and sustenance. 1t is the Supreme
Antidote.-Isaac F. Marcosson.

reached the editorial desk Of the Daily
Citizen. The report is piece Of ty-

ing matter is not nearly SO compre-
hensive or specific as the work should
be. Mr.. Kusscy should give us the

NATIONAL LOW SHOE
DAY. MAY FIFTH
DAME FASHION AND UNCLE
SAM FORM ENTENTE
ALLIANCE
MAY FIFTH is SUNDAY
To Maintain Your Standing With
Both, You Must Help Conserve
Leather by Wearing Low
Shoes

Dame Fashion and Uncle Sam have
formed an entente alliance and have
issued n joint and several edits to the
American people, pronouncing Sun
day, May 5, National Low Shoe Day.
This means that every man, woman
and child, who desires to keep in the
good graces Of both must relegate
high shoes to the closet and appear
next Sunday neatly shod in low
shoes.
It is an edict that will be cheerfully
obeyed. Not only is the season Of the
year at hand when the Low Shoe Is
the most comfortable footwear to be
had, but it is clear to all people that
the conservation of leather is inn
perative, if the United States is to
successfully conclude its task "over
there" The soldier must be well
shod. Through the very nature Of his
work, he uses up shoe leather at an
amazing rate. The quartermaster de-
partment Of the United States army
has figured that each Of the hun
dreds Of thousands of boys in khaki
will have worn out nine pairs Of shoes
by this time next year. This is proof
nositive of the absolute necessity for
the conservation of leather by the
American people.
The people of the United States are
patriotic. They are heart and soul
with our boys in trench and camp. In
every way they have demonstrated
their desire to make sacrifices in
order that this world may be "safe
| for democracy" They will welcome
National Low Shoe Day as another
opportunity of manifesting their pat
riotism. And at the same time it Is
manifestation that demands no sac
rifice, for all must agree that from
now on until the frost is on the
pumpkin, the Low Shoe is the most
serviceable, the most comfortable and
ncatest of footwear. Local dealers,
advised of the date of National Low
Shoe Day, have bought accordingly,
and today are offering patrons the
very latest footwear of this descrip-
ton. Make it a point to see your
lealer today and pick out your pair
so that you may be a properly clad
patriot on Sunday, May 5.

a favor by allowing her to help you

Joseph F. Leopold, general secre-

sents the charge made against him
Joplin by the Miami Record-Herald
and H. d. Lee, auto dealer, OF Miami
An article printed in the Daily Citi-
zen under q Miami date line and
credited to the rd-Herald, last
Friday. The letter presents the Jop-
lin side and follows in part:
n personally had the disposition OF
all space in the automobile show. l
never saw Mr.. Lee in this office. nor
anywhere else, nor had any CORE
spondence with him concerning space
in our automobile show. Neither did
anyone of my executive committee,
who had no power in the matter
however, to offer him space. he
showed up at the last minute with
his car ready for exhibition purposes
and demanded space. Upon being
politely told that there was none
available, he used the names OF va
rious members of the executive COM
mittee in his representation to Mr.,
Howell of the Connor Hotel, saying
that we had referred him to the ho-
tel management. Mr.. Howell, think
ing he was doing the Jasper County
show a favor, did allow him to get
ready to show his car, and when we
promptly objected, the gentleman
withdrew his exhibit upon refund Of
his money.
This show was put on at an en-
,pense in excess of $4,000 guaranteed
BY the Jesper County Motor Dealers,
and the money placed in the hands OF
the Directors of the Jasper County
Motor Dealers Association.
Now, my dear Pfremmer, ! am not
anxious to start a controversy with
my neighbors, nor do l ask you to
give us any publicity, but simply
want to tell you personally the true
afcts in the case, as / am the one and
no one else who is responsible fol
Mr.. Miami Dealers predicament.
merely wish that you might have ver-
fled the truth Of this sensational adj
vertiser as we'll as sensational pre-
varicator, before you had gone so far

FORD TO EMPLOY 10000 MEN in
BUILDING SUBMARINE "KILLERS''

Detroit, March 1.-Work has been
started by the Ford Motor Company
OH a plant at River Rouge, suburb,
to cost S2,OOO,OOO, which will be de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
Of the vessels designed to chase and
destroy U-boats. The plant will en-
ploy 10000 to $1,000 men, will cover
an area of five acres, and be COM
pleted before May 10. The killers.
when finished will be manned and
sailed down the lakes to he Atlantic
ocean.
Josephus Daniels, Secretary Of the
Navy, and experts from the Navy De-.
partment, have been in recent con-
ference with Mr.. Ford. Success of the
KILLERS it is agreed, depends al
most entirely on numbers.
lit is believed that this fleet OF
boats will solve the submarine prob
lem" declared Ford. A full size mod
ell boat is now under construction at
the Ford motor plant in Highland
Park
"I'm for peace, If ! have to fight
for it. That's why I'm undertaking
| this work for America said Ford
while disclosing his plans, with the
approval of the Navy Department, in
an interview here. "The shipbuilding
PLANT, which is just north of the blast
furnaces, is going to be as complete
as energy and science can make 1t.
We will spare nothing in getting out
fleet of killers which will, in my
belief, drive the submarine from the
seas.
See! There's the boat! Isn't she
beauty" acclaimed Mr. Ford with
boyish enthusiasm, as he exhibited
the full-size pattern boat under con-
struction. He patted the steel ribs.
She's going to do the work." he
went on. "And down in River Rouge
we are going to have a plant that
will turn them out in large numbers.
The plant will cover five acres, and
it will be efficient-a combination of
the efficiency of the United States
navy and the Ford organization.
THE navy is certainly going to
plaS the important part in this strug-
gle before peace comes. And the one
big reason is that the United States
navy is the most efficient organization
I have ever seen in action. Its men
are all alert, clever, working toward
a common purpose and willing to be
Ion the job twenty-four hours a day
whenever necessary, which is quite
often. That's what | call efficiency"
