ing the usual loss' from preventable
diseases at five per cent we have the

For Colds and Grippe
 Doctors Find Remedy

Physicians and druggists are elatsd over the fact that they have at last found genuine and dependable remedy for colds, sore throats. influenza. 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 if because of it's nauseating and dangerous qual- ities,
 Now that the pharmaceutical chemists have perfected neaus- ealess calomel. called 'Calotabs" whose medicinal virtues are vast ly improved, the doctors and druggists are claiming that Cal otabs are the ideal remedy to abort a cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throat or Ia 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 eating or your work and pleasure. The next morning your cold has vanished and your whole system is purified and re- freshed. Calotabs are sold in original packages only; price thlrty-fve cents. Your druggist recommends and guarantees them by refunding the price if you are not delighted. adv.

 The epidemic of influenza has touched very lightly at Oak Grove to what it has at other places.
 Mir. Milling, the county agent, has been vaccinating hogs around here. Many hogs have died, but hundreds have been saved, the farmers think, because of MT. Milling's efforts.
 School has not started yet on account of the illness of Mrs. Wilson, who will teach this term.
 Mrs. Gwendolyn Edwards and baby girl are doing nicely.
 Robt. Hutchinson received word recently that his niece. Mrs. Sovonia Crounse. is dead. She leaves a husband and four small children. They have lost a loving wife and a christian mother.
 Grandma Smith, mother of Claude Smith, died at Oklahoma City last week. Her husband died there about two months ago at the home of his son. These worthy old residents now lie side by side to await the final call.
