APPRECIATION FROM
BRAZIL.

When We consider the suspicion
and dislike with which the United
States was regarded throughout
Latin-America within recent mem
ory, there is deep satisfaction in
reading this tribute from President
-lect AlveS of Brazil:
The self-abnegation OF the Unit
ed States in offering itself as a sac
rifice in the war. and i'll abandoning
the pursuits OF peace without selfish
ambitions and without single OBJ
jective which is not guaranteed to
all peoples, has given President
Wilson unquestioned moral author
ity and has raised the United States
in universal estimation to a position
from which it can accomplish the
absolute solidarity OF the democra-
cies OF the western hemisphere with
out melting the slightest envy or
suspicion"
Our Latin neighborS don't call us
Yankee pigs any more. They're
not afraid OF rs any more. They
take us at our word. They trust
US. and look to US for leadership.
They are turning into permanent
fact the Pan-Americanism we have
desired and preached. The result
ing solidarity of the wemocracies
OF the western hemisphere is one
of the first-fruits of this war Tor
freedom. and promise OF the world
solidarity that We hope TO build on
American principles.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elate6
over the fact that they have at last
found a genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throat, influenza
and la grippe. For years they have
depended chiefly upon the old style
calome1, which is certainly fine, but
unfortunately many people would not
take it because Of its nauseating and
dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess caIo-
mel, called ''Calotabs'' whose medicinal
virtues are vastly improved. the doc
tors and druggists are claiming that
Calotabs are the ideal remedy to abort
a cold over night and cut short an at
tack Of sore throat or la grippe. They
are also finding it most effective as
the first step in the treatment of
pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow Of water-that's

morning your cold has vanished and
your whole system is purified and re-

and guarantees them by refunding the
price if you are not delighted.-Adv.

GERKINS DENIES
GRAFT CHARGES
FOR ROAD WORK

Contractor John Gerkins issued a
denial last night that he was to re-
ceive amp extra profits from the in
creased compensation, which he will
be paid for increasing the thickness OF
the county concrete road TO the reser-

The sum of $780, which is to be paid
to him by the county, figures only as
the total for the extra inch of road
which is to be laid by increasing the
thickness of the highway from four
and six inches at side and centre to
five and seven inches under the amend
ed resolution passed by the county
commissioners. The compensation for
this is one and three quarter cents per

BIGGEST Y A n * d e
SHIP EVER IN THIS
PORT is UNLOADING

One of the biggest ships which ever
entered the port Of Pensacola, and the
largest american vessel to come here.
arrived in port yesterday with cargo
of soda nitrate on board. She is the
Challenger, and is working under the
direction of the Z. S. Shipping board
bringing cargoes of nitrate to this
country from Chile.
The boat was given a berth at the
L. and N. railroad wharf, and the un-
loading of the cargo will begin at
once, since one or two other ships
loaded with a similar cargo are ex-
pected here within the next few
weeks. Captain G. T.. January is in
charge of the vessel 1t is probable
that most of tn ecargo will be stored
in the warehouses for the present, for
transshipment later.

yesterday for bunker coal Ne an
nouncement was made at the Customs
office as to the destination Of the

Galveston Gets Steel.
Immediately action will probably be
taken to place Pensacola in the Birm-
lngham shipping zone Many have
InouGnt that this was already the
case, but Mr.. Merritt's Investigations
IN Washington and New York have
shown that steel from Birmingham is
usually routed for shipment through
the port Of Galveston, a much longer
haul than TO Pensacola
The fact was brought out that a
quantity Of steel for the French gov
eminent, received here recently for
shipment, had to be reshipped to
New Orleans before it could be put on
board a steamer. Gulfport, Miss,
frequently gets shipments of timber
from Pensacola, and the fact that
port when loaded this way, was
stressed
The facilities OF the Washington Of

company were offered to the city IN
order that someone might be station
ed there to keep in touch with ship
ping authorities of the government

take advantage of the offer to adver-
tise the advantages Of the port rath-
er than to hold meetings and tell each
