FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY.

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found genuine and dependable rem

chiefly upon the old style calomel.
which is certainly fine, but unfortun-
ately many people would not take it
because of its nauseating and danger
Gus qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected nausealess calo-
mel, called "Calotabs' whose medicin-
al virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy
to stop a cold over night and cut short
an attack of sore throat or Ia grippe.
They are also finding it most effective
as the first step in the treatment OF
pneumonia.

A Soldier Writes His Girl.

Coroporal J. R. Livingston of the
American Expeditionary Forces re-
Gently wrote a letter to young girl
in Newberry county. After telling her
that he was in the best of health and
thinking of the picnics they attended
together before he went ''over there"
and hoping for the return of those
pleasant days, which he says will soon
come again, he goes on to state that
his last years work and experience
was the best schooling he has ever had
as there are a number of things he
has learned that never would have
been taught him otherwise, such as
obedience, appreciation of home, now
to be happy with very little, and
''she best OF all to trust our Lord, for
sin is ever before u.s. One thing he
saw in France he says were some OF
the biggest horses he ever saw, the
average horse there weighing from
1900 to 1000 pounds. One thing he has
not seen since being over there is
negro woman and very few negro men
and they were soldiers. He thinks
they were from England. Well" he
continues, eI can't write enough to
te'l you what I have seen, but will
tell it to you when I return. Thought
to give you a few scratches in each

GIVE SOUR MILK TO CHICKS

Diarrhea by Professor kaupp
of North Carolina.

When white diarrhea attacks a flock
OF young chicks many of them die,
while those that survive are more or
less stunted. Feeding freely Oh sour
niI,: has been found beneficial. If SOU
miiK does not act against the disease
st at least gives the chicks greater
strength and vitality so they are not
seriously affected if attacked.
In some tests by Professor Kaupp
0f North Carolina be found that chicks
fed on sour milk quickly recovered
when attacked and the loss was only
10 to &c per cent. In similar lot,
