For Colds and Grippe
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 and la
grippe. For years they have de-
pended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine, but
unfortunately many people would
not take it because of its nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical
chemists have perfected a nausea
less calomel tablet called "Calotabs''
whose medicinal virtues are vastly
improved, the doctors and druggists
are claiming that Calotabs are the
ideal remedy to abort a cold over
night and cut short an attack of
sore throat or relieve la grippe.
They are also finding 1t most ef-
fective as the first step in the treat
ment of pneumonia
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
eating or your work and pleasure.
The next morning your cold has
vanished and your whole system
feels purified and refreshed. Gallo
tabs are sold only in original scaled
packages; price thirty-five cents.
Your druggist recommends and
guarantees them by refunding the
price II you are not delighted

AUTO PARCEL POST
TO CUT LIVING COST
Congress Asked for $1,000, 900 APP

HAOEAAoA~h W ~oAAy ioh wv"
The Postofice Departments plan
for using army motor trucks to cut
the high cost of living through es-
tablishment of an extensive rural
parees post system was explained to
the House Postofice Committee yes
terday.
Assistant Postmaster General Bla-
keslee asked for an appropriation of
IS, 900, 900 to carry on the service for
the year beginning July /, 1919.
This does not include purchase of
trucks which will be turned over by
the army without charge.
The rural parcel post made up OF
a fleet of thousand of trucks can
lower the cost OF farm produce by
elimination Of a large part OF the
cost Of handling, Blakeslee said. He
illustrated this by showing that it
costs so cents a ton mile to take
goods from New York piers to the
consumer. which is in many cases
more than the original cost of the
goods plus the ocean freight rate.
