IN KNIGHTS OF COL UMBUS
BUILDINGS


At number one building on the Wrights-
boro road, the red and black hat cords
bid fair to make affairs ''hum's as far
as social activities are concerned. On
Wednesday evening of last week some
talented young men from this outfit rem
dered a very entertaining concert which
was greatly appreciated by the crowd
who gathered to enjoy it. Several muSi-
cal numbers We're repeatedly encored, and
each act brought forth rounds of APP
plause.
On Monday evening Of last week the
usual weekly band concert was given at
Number One building which was pre-
coded by short address by Captain Nor
cross Of the Marine Corps who was visit
ing in the camp.
On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Sylvester
entertained with talent from Augusta
which included dancing by Mrs. Sylyes-
ter's daughters and several solo selec-
tons by Miss Donen, also of Augusta.
Miss Donen is one of the most popular
entertainers who has ever visited the
camp and her singing is always greeted
with welcome applause Mrs, Sylvester
also rendered a selected solo and as usual
was repeatedly encored.
Owing to inclement weather of Thurs
day evening, the weekly boxing program
me was postponed until next week, on
which occasion a splendid bill has been
arranged and which includes some of the
best, talent of the camp. on Frida1
evening, a group of thirty two colored
entertainers from Miss Laneys school of
| Augusta gave the boys q real treat in
the nature of an hour and half enter
tainment Of nature which they had
never before been privileged to enjoy.
So great was the appreciation of this
entertainment that they nave promised
to visit us again within the near future,
On Saturday evening, Mr.. Landman of
! the ]. b. w. w. held his weekly French
class in the building The Ordnance men
have manifested Il desire to take up the
study of this language and a much larger
class viii soon be held. At Number Two
building in the Artillery Section Of the
camp. the entertainments Of the week
have been held up to a certain extent be-
cause of the building having been I'M
dergoing alterations at the hands of car
penters and painters, but several pleas
ing evenings We're spent nevertheless. On
Tuesday evening, the Augusta talent
which weekly visits the building treated
the Artillery boys to very charming
programme. On Wednesday evening a
Quartette from the Hath Infantry spent
the evening in entertaining the appre-
ciative audience which had gathered to
hear them, and on Friday evening the
weekly band concert drew it's usual
crowd. With the completion of the ar
rangement of the building a nightly pro-
gramme for the next week is assured.

Mr. Landman would like to hear from
men in the various regiments who are
interested in the work that the Welfare
Board is doing and who are willing to
give some of their spare time to organ
ize the work in the camp among the
men. 1t is his plan to have these men
serve at Key Men" who win keep him
posted as to the status of the men in
their regiments and companies. In this
way he will be afforded the opportunity
to come into personal contact with more
of the men and also be an position
more readily to serve those men who may
need his services. For example: if a
certain man has Jahrzeit and wishes TO
have kaddish service, or another is
confined to the hospital or any such
thing, it would be the duty of the "Wey
man of that regiment to inform Mr..
Bandman on cards that viii be provided
for that purpose. and the, service will be
rendered to the man needing it. The key
men viii serve in other ways; as in get
ting material for entertainments helping

willing to help out in this way, are asked

WHY DO ALL DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE CAL0MEL?

Of all the medicines in the world,
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally.
There must be a good and sufficient
reason-what is it?
If you will study the doctors books
you will find that the medical authori-
ties prescribe calomel for almost every
disease. The reason is that calonel
is the greatest and only thorough sys-
tem-purifier. It makes the liver ac-
tive, drives out the poisons from the
stomach, bowels and kidneys and
thereby purifies the blood. Calorel
puts the entire system in the most
favorable condition for Nature to ex-
ercise her recuperative power. Your
doctor will tell you that drugs merely
assist Nature. That is why lie pre-
scribes calomel SO often.
The new kind Of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purified
from all Of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities Of the old style cal
omel and is rapidly taking it's place
for it is more effective than the old
style calomel as a iver-cleanser and
system purifier. One Calotab at bed
time, with swallow Of water-that's s
all. No nausea. nor the slightest un-
pleasantress. Next morning you
awake feeling fine-with a hearty ap-
petite for breakfast Eat what you
please-fruits, acids, or anything. No
restrictions of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your mon

is the fact that I did not come from
