Mattresses in Texas hotels and res

of explanation in making the bread,
sugar, meat and other regulations
clear to patrons. To assist them in
these difficulties, E. A. Peden, Federal
Food Administrator for the State, has

Doctors Say Calomel
Is Best Medicine

According to the worlds greatest
physicians and medical experts, calo-
mel is the best and most universally
useful of all medicines. Medical au-
thorities prescribe calomel for almost
every disease and explain that it is
the best and surest of all system puri-
fiers. They say that calomel cleanses
the liver, stomach, bowels and kid
neys and purifies the blood from all
poisons, making the system pure and
clean so that nature can quickly re-
store the health.
Now that science has purified Gallo
mel of all its nauseating and danger,
GUS qualities, the new kind of calomel.
called "Calotabs," is even more popu-
lar than the old. AS liver cleanser
and system purifier Calotabs are more
effective than the old style calomel.
yet are entirely deHgnt1ul IN erect.
One Calotab at bedtime, with swal-
low of water-that's all. No nausea
nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next
morning you awake feeling fine, with
hearty appetite for breakfast Eat
what you please and go where you
please-there is no rstreiction oh hab-
it or diet
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-fve
cents. Your druggist recommends and
guarantees Calotabs, and will refund
your money If you are not delighted
with them.-(Advt.)

voyage, orders came from King Rene
Go at once" so the message read
ito Tunis and there capture the ship
Ferna ndiua"
Uncle Columbus was dismayed. He
dared not disobey the orders Of the
king: and he could not give up the
important voyage he was just about TO
make. 1t seemed as though ruin
stared him in the face whichever he
did! Then, in ,hh midst of his anxiety,
he thought of his nephew. II have
strained him these many months" he
said to himself, now is the time he
must saila vessel for himself and save
my reputation"
He sent for Christopher at once and
explained the situation to him.
You mean you want me 10 go
and capture the Fernandina ?" asked
Christopher, who could hardly believe
that he had heard right, me? In
charge Of a vessel by myseIf?''
The uncle feared that his question
might mean he was afraid so he said
4 know you are young, but what am
l to do?'
You're to let me do it.'' exclaimed
Christopher, and he Strengthened him
sell proudly ana 1 II 90 II, never
fear. 1 only wanted to be sure you
meant to trust me"
So they made their plans. Uncle
Columbus had another boat which he
hastily made ready for his nephew's
use and that same evening they both
set saik each on his own errand.
Unfortunately Christopher could not
make the voyage without stop for
supplies, probably because they had
set sail on such short notice, so he
stopped at the Island Of San Pedro
He did not like to lose time by such
4 stop, but It was necessary. But
when the men came back 20 the boat
from their trip 20 the island he re-
GREETED more than ever that he had
10 stop there. For while ashore they
heard that the vessel Fernandina was
not alone; it was guarded by two sis
ter ships and would be very difficult
TO capture.
Columbus laughed at their fears and
ordered them to set sail, but they
thereupon mutinied and refused to
sail an inch in the direction Of Tunis.
Columbus was in a quandary as to
what TO do. but they gave him little

a try square draw lines making one

exclaimed TO himself as he worked,
won't be happy. And I'll be brave
too-brave as are my good uncles. 1t
would not do to disgrace them" Then
he would plan, as boys viii. Of the
deeds of valor he would do when he
grew up.
But the chance came to him much
sooner than he could have expected
one day when Christopher was lit
tie more than q boy, his uncle, whose
name was Columbus too, came to the
home of his brother and said to him,
Your boy Christopher is old enough
TO sail And he IS going to make
good leader Let me take him on this
VOYAGE and train him to be a sailor"
Christopher heard what his uncle
said and he could hardly breathe he
was so excited lest his father forbid
his going. But he needn't have wor-
red. His father had noticed how
e5ger his boy was to study boats and
everything about navigation and, be-
57s- a wise father. he was glad to have
his boy get the chance of training he
would get while sailing with the Uncle
Columbus.
Take him and welcome" said the
father heartily. and be to. him as

time for doing anything-they turned
the boat about and set sail for home.
What was one man to do against
whole crew? He did the only possible
thing-he pretended to give in to them
and agreed to their plan of sailing
home for more help.
But in the night. for it was evening
when they turned about, he lay awake
thinking of what he should do. The
idea of really going back and failing
his good uncle on the very first mis-
sion given him, never even occurred to
Christopher Columbus.
ing for came to him.
Slow and carefully he creut from
his berth and out into the hold of the
vessel. All was quiet. He crept to the
pilot house. All was still. The pilot
had dashed the wheel in place and was
sleeping on a bench nearby.
Columbus crept past him. holding
his breath lest a sound should disturb
the pilots slumber. passed him and
into the shelter called the pilot house.
There he reached for the compass
and with a sure hand changed it about
50 that, when the pilot turned the
course by its reading they would be
sailing directly to Tunis!
And then he crept back TO his bed.
At midnight a fresh pilot went on
deck and finding the vessel going the
wrong way, shaped the course a-fresh,
roundly scolding the man before for
his stupidity.
The next morning land came in
sight and the sailors were happy in
the thought that home was near al
hand Ina CINE their surprise when
they found a little later that il was
not home, but the harbor of Tunls
they were sailing into.
The vessel Ferna ndina was guarded
by but one boat and in a few hours
both were the prizes of Columbus and
his crew. who fought bravely when
they actually were confronted by dan
ger.
Such a deed Of bravery and clever
ness was worthy of the man who later
discovered America.
