HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he win 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
calomel at bedtime. But as the old
style calomel has some very unpleas-
ant and dangerous qualities physicians
and druggists are now recommend
ing the improved nausealess calomel,
called "Calotabs," which is purified
and refined from the sickening and
dangerous effects and whose medicin-
al virtues are vastly improved.
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 diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refresh
ed. s#
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price 35 cents. Your
druggist guarantees Calotabs by re-
funding the price if you are not de-
lighted-adv.

Few announcements IN many years
have caused such widespread interest
in medical and scientific circles and
among the public in general as that
recently made regarding the discov-
cry Of Irogen and its relation to the
blood and general health of the hui
man system.
The wonderful power Of Irogen to
rebuild natural strength, health and
vigor is now attributed by physicians
and scientists to its blood-building
power. Irogen, they explain, regen-
crates human blood, for it has been
demonstrated beyond the possibility
Of a doubt that Irogen supplies Ma
ture with the element essential to the
formation of new blood.
The entire nation has been amazed
over the possibilities brought to light
through the discovery of Irogen, and
rightly so, for this discovery has
practical interest of far-reaching inn
portance to the public in general. It
is known that the world is literally
full of people whose blood is below
the standard of vigorous health and
whose strength and vital resistance
to disease is therefore very low. Al
most every household, it is said, con-
tains one or more persons whose VI
tally is below normal--not necessar-
lily invalids, but rather weaklings, who
are prone to disease and complaints
of every kind. To these Irogen will
prove of inestimable value in rebuild
ing natural strength and health

Sunday Morning, Sept. 8, 1918.
Dear Mother and ALL am well
and doing fine. Do hope these few
lines win find you all the same. This
sure is a beautiful morning. We had
preaching here last Sunday, but don't
know whether there will be any here
today or not; but anyway, l am gong
every chance / have.
Well, Ma, we made a l3-mile nike
yesteN ay morn. like to take a
| hike every now and then, for we get
to see the country when we go on
these hikes.
These French people are very
queer. They haul their fertilizer over
the fields in things which look like
carts. Well, the fact of the business
is, / haven't seen a four-wheel wagon
since / have been over here. They all
use the two-wheel cart, but they
can hold up a pretty big load; and
when the load is too heavy for one
horse they put on as many horses
one right in front of the other, as 1t
will take to pull the load, Now
don't that seem funny? saw three
horses Yesterday to one cart-one
right straight out in front OF the
other. They were taken on in, too
These French people never drink
much water at meals. They drink
wine altogether. Their wine drinks
pretty good. / have drunk few
drinks Of it myself. They raise lot
of grapes here, so you can account Tor
so much wine.
We have Just had payday, and
were paid off in French money; ana,
Ma, have a pocket full Of francs
now. / am sending you all one
Guess you will get it.
Well, Ma, | am sorry to tell you,
but | haven't heard from you all yet.
Guess will pretty soon ! guess
by now you all are gathering your
crop. | sure wish | was there to
help you all. OF course, no one knows,
but / have an idea ! may be back
there to help you all with next years
crop.
Well. Ma, | don't have time to
write So often, but will write as OF,
ten as I can. Now don't you all
worry about me, for / am getting
along all right. Tell all my folks and
everybody around Gift hello for me.

IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN. IT'S you

If you want to live in the kind o.
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in {
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your person
al stake,
Yur neihbois can make one, too,
Your town viii be what you want to
see.
Il isn't the town-it's you.

not written to the Leader since being
over here, will ask for a small space
| am we'll and doing fine. We made
the trip across the pond fine and
dandy. Never saw submarine on
the way. We have been having some
fine weather since we have been over
here with the execution Of few days

we are going to have some rain, for
every time our company moves It
comes a rain,
We made little hike Of 23 miles
the other night, and it was raining
like the mischief. But pshaw, what
does a good soldier care for that?
It looks like we can hike and keep
on hiking and never get tired. l
guess the reason is that there is
always some jolly fellow that is sing
ing and playing all kinds Of FRANKS;
SO you SEE we can't help but smile
and keep cheered up.
Well, what kind of cotton crop
has our dear old county raised this
time /? / received a very interesting
letter yesterday from Mai. M. A.
Walker, Of Covington. And if any
of you friends would like to write to
me few lines will be highly appre-
ciated.
Well, guess you all would like to
know just what we are doing for the
Huns. can't say much, but | have
heard some very charming noises
from some of the Huns guns last
night. / haven't got to take crack
at one yet, but | have been promoted

sergeant at that-so you see, | will
have the gun for them, won't |? Be-

through regeneration Of the blood,

Great interest has been aroused Id
Munford since the discovery Of Irogen
and much speculation has been made
as to who would secure the selling ag-
ency for this territory, as it is I'M
derstood that only one thoroughly re-
liable druggist is appointed in each
town to distribute the much-sought-
for product.
Following this discussion, an
nouncement is now made that Irogen
can be secured in Munford at ABB
ernathy Drag Co., and many hun
dreds have already called to get a
supply and test the strengthening
powers claimed for this new discov-
cry, and those who are in a position
to know predict that Irogen will short
ly be used in every household
throughout the length and breadth
of this country.
According to physicians and drug
gists, among the numerous symptoms
which may indicate in varying de-
grees weak blood and its need Of Iro-
gen are: Lack Of muscular strength
and endurance, weakness or irritable
ity, pale, anaemic skin, restless sleep,
loss Of appetite, dyspepsia and indi-
gestion, loss Of weight, susceptibility
to colds and catarrh, habitually cold
feet and hands, exhaustion after mod
crate exercise or work, premature age
and various skin eruptions. On the
whole, it is said, the heart and stom-
ach suffer the most from weak blood
and respond most quickly to the
strengthening effect Of Irogen.
