sion Charge.

The officers of the Community Cho-
rus organization, are planning to pre-
sent to the people of Mason county,
the finest sacred musical concert they
have enjoyed in many days on next
Sunday afternoon.
This organization has been rehears-
ing each Sunday afternoon for over a
month and the seventy-five members
will render some music that will ia
vorably compare with that rendered
by some of the larger city organiza-
tions.
We may consider ourselves fortu-
nate in securing the services of such
finished musician as Miss Lula Nc
Clellan of Middletown, Ohio. Miss
Mcclellan has filled many engage
will please the most critical with her
beautiful whistling and artistically
rendering piano solos.
Mrs. Alfred Pecd one of our own vo-
calists, residing at Mayslick will rem
der a beautiful selection by Dudley
Buck, "My Redeemer and My Lord"
The many admirers of Mrs. Peed's
fine quality voice will welcome this
news as it has been some time since
she has done concert work in this To-
cality. We can assure those who have
not heard Mrs, Peed there is a treat
in store for them if they attend the
concert. Mrs. Peed has studied un-
| der some of the best known instruc-
tors of New York State
Mrs. Carl Dodds will also render a
beautiful vocal solo. Mrs. Dodds has
won her way into the hearts of the
people of Maysville and Mason coun-
ty with her splendid voice and pleas
ing personality.
The program will commence
promptly at 8 p. m. next Sunday af-
ternoon at the Washington Opera
House and everyone is urged to come
early if they desire a good seat From
the reports that are coming in there
seems to be a great possibility that
the Opera House will be crowded
There will be. no admission charged
at the door but an Offering will be
taken by the girls of the Settlement
Club, the proceeds to be used in the
purchase of music and defraying con-
cert expenses.

QUITE A BIT OF
LINEN COLLECTED
Young Women Of the Mason County
Red Cross Chapter Have Collected
Quite Bit of Linen For the
People of France Today.

AT ten o'clock this morning the
young women of the Mason County
Red Cross Chapter started to collect
linen in all parts of the city which
will be sent to France as a linen
shower from the United States. The
young ladies had been divided into
committees to cover the various
wards in the city and precincts in the
county and each committee was fur
nished with an automobile.
People were asked to put their linen
on their front porches so that the
committee calling for it would not be
delayed and would be able to get en-
tirely through their work in a short
time.
Reports come from all of the wards
in the city and from most of the pre-
cincts in the county to the effect that
quite large amount of linen was col
lected. Many people who had no linen
to contribute gave money with
which the Red Cross will purchase
linen and forward it to France.
Recently the young ladies of this
community gathered old clothing for
the Belgians and in both of these cam
paigns the people of Maysville have
shown their patriotism as in all other
war campaigns.

WHY DO ALL DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE CAL0MEL?

OF ali the medicines in the world
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally
There must be a good and sufficient
ason-what is it?
If you will study the doctors books
you will find that the medical au-
thorities prescribe calomel for almost
every disease. The reason is that cal
omel is the greatest and only thor
Iough system purifier. 1t makes the
liver active, drives out the poisons
from the stomach, bowels and kidneys
and thereby purifies the blood. Gallo
mel puts the entire system in the
most favorable condition for nature
to exercise her recuperative powers.
Your doctor win tell you that drugs
merely assist nature. That is why
he prescribes calomel so often.
This new kind of calomel called
"Calotahs," is refined and purified
from all Of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of tile oll-style cal
omel and is rapidly taking its place.
foF it ~ more effective than the old
style calomel as a liver cleanser and
system purifier. One Calotab at bed
time, with a swallow of water that's
all. No nausea, nor the slightest un-
pleasantness. Next morning you
awake feeling fine with hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat what you
please fruiteC acids or anything
No restrictions Of habit or diet.
CalQtabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
BY druggists everywhere. Your mon
ey back if you are not delighted. ad.
