HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS And GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for a bad cold, sore
throat, influenza or la grippe is what
he calls "a brisk calomel purge,
which means a big dose of calomef
at bed time. But as the old style cal,
omel has some very unpleasant and
dangerous qualities physicians and
druggists are now recommending the
improved nausealess calomel, called
"Calotabs" which is purified and re-
fined from the sickening and danger
Gus effects and whose medicinal VIZ
tues are vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow Of water-that' s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty
cents. Your druggist guarantees Cal
otabs by refunding the price if you
are not delighted.-Adv.

PRESIDENTS REPLY
TO GERMANY

President Wilson's answer to Ger
many, handed to the Swiss charge
d'affaires for transmission, follows:
"Sir:-In reply to the communica--
tion of the German government, dated
the 18th instant, which you handed
me today, have the honor to request
YOU to transmit the following answer:
"The unqualified acceptance by the
present German government and by
a large majority of the Reichstag
of the terms laid down by the Presl-
dent of the United States of America
in his address to the Congress of the
United States on the 9Th of January,
1918, and in his subsequent addresses,
iustifies the President in making a
frank and direct statement of his
decision with regard to the communl..
cations of the German government OF
the 8th and 18th of October, 1918.
at must be clearly understood that
the process of evacuation and the con-
ditions of an armistice are matters
which must be left to the Judgment
and advice of the military advisers OF
the government of the United States
and the Allied governments. and the
President feels it his duty to say that
no arrangement can be accepted by
the government of the United States
which does not provide absolutely sat
isfactory safeguards and guarantees
of the maintenance OF the present
military supremacy of the armies OF
the United States and OF the Allies IN
the field. He feels confident that he
can safely assume that this Will also
be the judgment and decision of the
Allied governments.
"The President feels that it is also
his duty to add that neither the gov
ernment of the United States nor, he
is quite sure, the governments with
which the government of the United
States is associated as a belligerent,
will consent to consider an armistice
so long as the armed forces OF Ger
many continue the illegal and inhu-
name practices which they still per-
siSt in.
"At the very time that the German
government approaches the govern
ment Of the United States with pro-
posals of peace, it's submarines are en-
gagged in sinking passenger ships at
sea, and not the ships alone, but the
very boats in which their passengers
and crews seek to make their way to,
Safety; and In tnelr present enforced
withdrawal from Flanders and France
the German armies are pursuing a
course Of wanton destruction which
has always been regarded as in direct
violation of the rules and practices
Of civilized warfare. Cities and vii
lagos, if not destroyed, are being
stripped of all they contais not only,
but often of their very inhabitants.
The nations associated against Ger
many cannot be expected to agree to
a cessation of arms while acts of
Nhumanity, spoilation and desolation
are being continued which they justly
look upon with horror and with burn
ing hearts.
"It is necessary also in order that
there may be no possibility of mis-
understanding, that the President

Urls! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar OF ordl-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifier, by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it dal-
" into the face, neck, arms and hands.
It should naturally help to whlten,
soften, freshen and bring cut the roses
and beauty of any skin. It is truly
marvellous to smoother rough. red
hands. =
The Robesonian., 1918-10-17

should very solemnly call the attention
Of the government Of Germany to the
language and plain intent of one OF
the terms of peace which the German
government has now accepted. It IS
contained in the address of the Presl-
dent deliveren at Mount Vernon on the
Fourth of July last.
at is as follows: "The destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and OF
it's single choice disturb the peace OF
the world; or. if it cannot be presently
DESTROYED. at least its reduction to vir-
tual impotency' The power which
has hitherto controlled the German
nation is of the sort here described.
1t is within the choice of the German
nation to alter it. The Presidents
words just quoted naturally constitute
a condition precedent to peace, II
peace is to come by the action Of the
German people themselves. The Pres
ident feels bound to say that the
whole process Of peace will, in his
Judgment, depend upon the definite
ness and the satisfactory character OF
the guarantees which can be given IN
this fundamental matter. 1t is indis-
pensable that the governments asso-
ciated against Germany should know
beyond peradventure with whom they
are dealing.
"The President will make separate
reply to the royal and imperial gov
ernment of Austria-Hungary."
"Accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ances of my high consideration.

Final returns from all States show

pressed"
