DOCTORS SAY CALOTABs
ARE BEST FOR COLDS

According to the worlds greatest
physicians and medical experts, Gallo
mel is the best and only dependable
remedy for breaking up cold over
night or cutting short an attack of
sore throat, deep-seated cough, influ-
enza or la grippe. Now that science
has purified calomel of all it's nau-
sea and dangerous qualities, the new
kind of calomel called "Calotabs" is
even more popular than the old style.
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 diet,
work or pleasures. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your
whole system is purified and refresh
ed Calotabs are sold only in origi-
nal sealed packages, price thirty-fve
cents. Your druggist recommends and
guarantees Calotabs and will refund
the price if you are not delighted with
them.-adv.

ter county will continue to predict and

never gets anywhere We are living
in an age of action. When the whole
truth is known of the true value of
these beautiful, level, productive
lands they will increase in value by
leaps and bounds. The fertilizer
plants which once f1ourished like a
green bay tree will pass away and
be replaced by the velvet bean, the
farmers own production. They have
already moved their smokehouse and
corn crib from the West to their own
farms and now have fine, fat stock and
corn to sell Under this method of
farming level, improved lands will not
decrease in value, but increase No
farmer will deny this. The many
profitable crops that can be grown
here also adds to the value of these
lands One of the main factors in
making these lands more valuable
than in many other sections is that the
old-tine drudgery for both man and
woman is rapidly disappearing. The
inexhausfble pure, fresh water supply
that can be had from a depth of from
200 to 400 feet is far more valuable
than yet realized. With small gas con-
nection and a few feet of pipe will

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART:
IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

Kidney disease is no respector OF
persons. 1t attacks all classes, re-
CARELESS of age, sex or conditions. A
majority of the ills affecting people
today can be traced back to the kidney
trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the
filterers, the purifiers of your blood.
If the pOisons which are swept from
the tissues by the blood are not elm
mated through the kidneys, disease
of one form or another will claim
you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated
by WEAKNESS. sleeplessness. nervous
ness, dependency, backache, stom-
ach trouble, difficulty when, pain in
loins and lower abdomen, gall stones,
gravel, rheumatism, sciatica and lum-
bago.
All these arrangements are natures
signals to warn you that the kidneys

Nurnbers Birthplace OF ThimbIe.

AS far as we can be certain of any
thing, the thimble is to be traced to
the inventive and ingenious artisans of
Nurnberg, who were the acknowledged
manufacturers of it in the fourteenth
century. It was not, however, until
1884, that the thimblemakers became
what Is called a corporate body al
though for whole century previously
the Nurnberg merchants had carried
thimbles with them for sale on their
yearly expeditions to the great fairs
of Leipsic, Hamburg and Lubbock.
