Next morning your cold has vanished and your whole system is purified and refresh ed Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents.

FOLLOWED HIS LEAD

The colonel was known to be of very coleric and uncertain temper and Augustus was extremely nerv- ous when invited to dine at the old boys room. He determined, however to be prepared to meet any situation tactfully The sitting room was on the first floor and sure enough, when it came to carving the roast, a blunt knife upset the coloneps equili brium. He strode to the door and flung the knife downstairs after the servant. Augustus with great pres ence of mind, seized the roast and threw that down, too.
 What the deuce do you mean by that?" spluttered the old boy as soon as he was able to speak.

RED CROSS REPORT

ties to give help wherever needed Thus they have founded sympathet- ic link between the boys and the folks back home. The activities of the Red Cross have grown with an enlarged vision, keeping pace with the progress of the world until today it's field is as large as the needs of humanity. It embraces within it's scope. all that tends to the relief of humanity.
 The work of the Red Cross is not limited to war time, The cessation of military operations will not mean even a curtailment of it's activities. Rather, the declaration of peace will be followed by urgent appeals for help from regions now inaccessible. Following the silencing of the over towering roar of musketry and the inferno of the battlefield, there will be heard. faint but no less pathetic, appeals from myriads of homeless, naked. hungry and suffering poor, afflicted people of devastated France and Belgium. Serbia and Roumania must be made once more habitable. Surely we. who have been spared the horrors of actual contact with the ravages of war, we who have shared in the blessings of the most pros porous nation on earth, have duty to perform in helping our less fortu- nate comrades and brothers across the sea. And how can we better per form this solemn duty than through the splendid and far reaching orga- nization of the American Red Cross.
 Therefore. from December 16 to 23, in Lee county. let there be neither absentees nor tardy delin- quents. Make it unanimous in this hour of world wide trouble when hundreds of thousands of anxious hearts beat in unavailing longing to minister to the reeds of sick or wounded or dying loved ones across the sea. When whole countries are suffering from famino and devasta- tion through the awful scourge of war. When unprecede suffering and incalculable losses gre filling the world with woe. Not only will every loya citizen and every true follower of compassiona.s Cl.ist respond 10 this modest call that anew comes from the Red CrosS, but will welcome the opportunity We who have grown accustomed to Christmas giving. as we ask ourselves this year, to whom shall l give and what don't overlook the greatest mother in the world.
