Why Take Ca!oIneI?
DIR. TEACHERS Liver & Blood Syrup
will do all that calomel will do and
without the latter effects"

Years ago, when people We're bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to do
its work or the stomach was out of
condition, calomel was the standby.
BY and by the users Of calomel found
chat the CATER effects of taking the
drug were rs bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.
DR.. Thacher, in seeking a medicine
to take the place of calomel-one that
would do all the good that calomel
would do, and yet leave none of its evil
effects perfected DIR. Thacher's Liver &
Blood Syrup. This was in 1852, and
each year since has added to the conf
dence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, tried calomel. She was suffer-
ing with very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried DIR. Thach-
er's Liver & Blood Syrup. She felt
better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely we'll. II think Dr.
TEACHERS Liver and Blood Syrup is u
wonderful medicine she said, 'and l
am very thankful tried it,"
For nearly three quarters of q century
this sterling preparation has been an
cold stand-byo in thousands of homes
in treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, in
digestion and other stomach and liver
complaints. Itisa powerful tonic and
blood purifier and can be used with
the utmost confidence.

NEW REAL ESTATE
COMPANY FORMED
The William Omelay Company
Organized and Will Market
Large Subdivision.

The william Omelay company,
which will handle real estate and in
particular a subdivision here, has
been started IN this city and expects
by the frst OF December to be ready
Tor business.
This company has purchased one
hundred and sixty acres of ground on
the east side OF North Bridge street,
and just 20 the north cf Pine river,
a tract Of land wh.ch for the greater
part is high aad level. and offers a
beautiful view About one hundred
and twenty acres Of this tract is to
be sub-divided into approximately >
hundred lots. some of which will be
just TO the north, across the river
from the Ruggles and Holmes prop
critics, which have been the occasion
Of much favorable comment.
In talking to Record reporter
Tuesday NJ Omelay stated that
about fifteen acres in the tract were
being reserved for park. The
splendid grove in this property will
be included in the park Along the
river there would be an eighty foot
boulevard. he mentioned. Both the
park and the boulevard will be turned
over to landscape gardeners in the
spring for identifying. He has a
plan on foot for the erection Of q
community building in the park and
the placing Of various swings, etc.
for the use of the kiddies and others
These viii be for the use Of property
owners in the subdivision, he stated
The new concern has rented the
large Office in the Wright House
building, which will be fitted up for
its use very soon.
1t was stated Tuesday that while
it would not be possible TO stake out
the property until spring, and do the
other needed work, the reservations
for lots on the property would be
open at the Offices of the company
about the first of next month. He
mentioned that the lots would be
offered for sale on the boulevard al
from $1,000 foot up and on the
other streets that the lots would sell
at from $500 up.
William Omelay, who heads tn,
new concern, has had a wide exper.
ience in the real estate business
gained in Detroit, Gary, Youngstown
/ Duluth and other large cities.

TO EUROPE
President vitally Interested in Peace
Pact 10 Go 10 France.

1t was officially announced this
week that following the opening of
congress December 2, President
Woodrow Wilson would go to France
where he would be better able to take
care of preliminary matters in re
gard to the peace pact which would
have TO be referred TO him.
There are two matters which will
come up at the peace table at Yer
sailles in which the United States
will be vitality interested, and it is
these two matters which have
prompted President Wilson 10 leave
the soil of North America, in all
probability
Both are highly important matters
not only 10 the United States, but to
the entire world.
These are contained in President
Wilson's fourteen points. one OF
them is the freedom Of the seas and
the other a league Of nations to pre-
serve peace.
Just how long President Wilson
will be in Europe is not known. but
indications are that he may toe there
for some little time.

EXPECT CONTRACTS
WILL Be COMPLETED
Republic Has Laid Plans for the
Transition to Regular Work
As They Expire.

That the Republic Motor Truck
Company Incorporated of this city
will continue it's contracts with the
government for Liberty trucks, is ex-
pected for the present at least, il was
gathered from a short interview with
c. G. Rhodes, secretary and treas
urer fthe company, on Tuesday.
AS rapidly as the various contracts
that the company has for Liberty
trucks are completed, the concern is
planning on increasing its production
Of the trade trucks. and it is ex-
pected that there will be a gradual
work over from the one truck TO the
other, as the contracts near termi-
nation, so that the conditions Of the
local factories will probably not be
affected in the least, as regards the
employment of those now working
on the government contract work
1t is expected that there will be- a
gradual increase in the production
Of the trade trucks at once, due to
the change in the government re-
strictions covering the use of steel,
and it is probable that as rapidly as
the restrictions are removed the com
pany will increase the production Of
these cars until it reaches or passes
the number which il attained just
previous to the curtailment in the
use Of steel.
The company is laying plans for
the transition from the one work to
the other and expects that the men
will be shifted from the one kind Of
work to the other without disturbing
the various factory conditions in the
least, just as the change was pre-
viously made to the war trucks.
There is no question but what the
Republic field is as large as before
the war, and in many quarters it is
believed to be larger due to the pre-
formance of these trucks in the
various trade lines, which stamp it as
one Of the most dependable trucks on
the market.

where it is expected that all practice
will be held until just previous to the

start the practice, class and company
teams are being formed at the college
for the college championship and il
is expected that after this week
about two games a week will be
played until the college title is set
tied
1t is expected that the fight
for the college title will bring
out large number Of candidates and
give Helmer a chance to get line
on the largest amount Of material,
and possibly uncover some men who
may develop into stars once the
court season gets wider way As the
Alma mentor is forced 90 build an

CITY OF ALMA IS
AFTER A new DEPOT
Council Takes Formal Action to
Direct Mayor King to Start
Things Going.

The city council under the lead Of
Mayor Francis King, took action at
an adjourned meeting Tuesday even
ing which has for its end, a new de
pot for this city.
Recently the matter of an addition
to the present highly inadequate so
called union depot" came up, and
with il came an agitation for a new
depot. The addition proposed, was to
be constructed at the east end Of the
present depot for the use Of the ex-
press company.
When it first came up the ladies
of the Civic Improvement league
sent petition to the city council
in regard TO the proposed addition.
and its relation TO the park which
the ladies were maintaining at the
east side of the depot, part of which
might be taken for the use of the
addition. The ladies' suggested some
other place for tho 7itracture.
This was followed Tuesday night
by a thorough investigation of the
matter at the council meeting with
Representative Of the Civic league
present
Il WAS the opinion Of those present
that the depot now in use was not
only entirely inadequate for the
needs Of t5e rapid growing COM
munity. but at best was highly un-
sanitary and mar to the beauty of
the city, and it was determined if
possible to secure new depot for
Alma
With this end in view the council
on motion asked Mayor King 10
take up the matter with the state
railroad commission, asking that il
visit Alma and view the depot. with
which the city has been burdened
for years.
Just what can be done at the pres
ent time with the railroads under
government control, is not known
but it is believed that some action
can be secured that will result fav-
orably for the city before many more
months.
Since the proposition Of new de-
pot was started Tuesday eveting,
after having been dormant for some
time, a suggestion was made for a
good location for new structure
this being the triangular piece OF
ground between Woodwork and
State, and between the two railroads
1t was pointed out that a depot there
would place railroad on each side
Of the building, and that TO the east
there would be sufficient ground for
small park once it was filled in
a new depot at that point would also
mark the passing of another insight.

1t had been expected that when
word was received that Germany had
signed the armistice, that the Stu
dents Army Training corps in the
various colleges, including Alma,
would be disbanded by the govern
ment, but the latest word is that
these organizations will be contin-
ued through the college year.

quarters of the 5. 4. T. {. at chi
cago few days ago, which was sent
to all colleges. indicates that there
may be some changes in the work
that the S. A. T. c. members will be
called upon to do during the college
year. but the work as whole is ex-
pected TO continue just as it has been
so far, since the institutions opened
for their fall terms.

word TO enlarge the corps somewhat

the college 20 go 10 officers training
camps, but with the disbanding OF
these camps. as a result of the peace
movement, these men will continue in

year with the other men of the unit.
