FOR COLDS AND OR PPE|
DOCTORS Find REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elat-
ed over the fact that they have at
last found a genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat, infiu-
enza and Ia grippe. For years they
have depended chiefly upon the old
style calomel. which is certaily fine,
but unfortunately many people
would not take It because Of its nau-
seating and dangerous qualities
Now that the pharmaceutical
chemists have perfected nausealess
calomeI. called ~Calotabs." whose
medicinal virtues are vastly i'm
proved, the doctors and druggists are
claiming that Cal0tabs are the ideal
remedy to abort a cold over night
and cut short an attack Of sore throat
or Ia grippe. They are also finding it
nest effective as the first step N the
treatment Of pneumonia.
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 eat
ing or your work and pleasure. The
next morning your cold has vanished
and your whole system Is purified
and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only
in original sealed packages; price
thirty-fve cents. Your druggist rec
ommends and guarantees them by re-
funding the price If you are not de-
hghted.-Adv.

HOOVER MAY BE DICTATOR
FOR WORLDS FOOD

Paris, Nov. 29.-The appointment
Of Herbert c. Hoover, as director Of
relief. having charge of the entire
food and relief administration for the
European allied and the United
States is under consideration.
II is understood the offer Of the
position has been made in behalf Of
the allies and is rather favorably re-
garded by Mr.. Hoover although no
announcement has been made.
The general idea of the plan is TO
centralize the organization under one
head so that both the food and ton
mage hade available by the various al
lies would be used under one plan to
the best advantage of each of the
allied nations. The director general
would be the supreme executive head
and would work in conjunction with
the existing inter-allied maritime,
food and financial commissions, which
have headquarters in London. The
present American representatives on
these commissions are Messrs. Stew
ems, Rublee, Crosby and Sheldon
Part of the plan is that relief ships
forming an extensive inter-allied re-
lief will feel that il comes from all
alike rather than from any one coun-
try.

the plan win be considered further.

Of the former president, and DR..

British Soldiers Who We're Prisoners
Tell of Amazing Cruelty.
London, Nov. 28.-An English SER
geant who has been a prisoner in
Germany for seven months, arriving
home today, spoke bitterly Of an en-
forced march after his capture. For
four days, be said, the prisoners had
virtually no solid food and when they
arrived at camp they were put to
work burying men who had died from
starvation. In one week fifteen out
Of one hundred died. No pity or len
iency was shown to men who were
unable to work through sickness. On
ly blows and unusual purishments of
half rations were given them
A noncommissioned officer Of the
Royal army medical corps said that
the worst sight he saw was near
scissors. He was working in a hos
pital where English prisoners were
suffering badly from dysentery.
While still alive a man was put into
a coffin and some German soldiers
were preparing to nail the lid of the
coffin down.
II protested" said the officer,
that the man was not dead, bat was
laughed at and pushed aside. The
Germans proceeded with their grue-
some task. and afterward informed
me that they had nailed the lid down
with 4 and 6-inch nails"
Another man, who said he had been
captured eight months ago, described
the murder of an officer in a prison
camp near the Aisne.
''In the camp one day" he said, Il
saw British officer being bullied
by German sentry. The German
soldier was demanding the officers
boots, but the officers refused to part
with them. After a little further ar
gument the German soldier shot the
officer and took the boots from him
as he lay dying on the ground"
An official statement issued today
says that since the arrnistice was
signed 49, British officers and $3.50
men Of other ranks, formerly prison
ers, have arrived at Hull from Hol-
land and Germany, fifty-five officers
and 8,216 men Of other ranks At Do
