No Pennsylvania troops now in France
will reach this country for Christmas,
and there Is no definite time set for

tary. "ha5 entire charge of the return
OF the troops and that matter is already

that none OF the men of the Twenty
eight and Seventy-ninth Divisions, which
, are tile old National Guard and drafted
men Of Pennsylvania, will be home for
Christmas.
No Definite Time
"It may be possible that a few of
the troops now engaged overseas may
be home soon, but II is a certainty that
none of the combat troops will arrive
within n short time, and nobody can
foretell with any definiteness when they
will come back.
Mr.. Baker said that Pennsylvania had
sufficient ground for splendid enthu-
siasn. He said that the boys from the

fighting and bravery was second to none

Secretary Baker urged his hearers

 he calls "a brisk calomel purge" which
 means a big dose of calomel at bed time. But as the old style calomel has
 some very unpleasant and dangerous qualities physicians and druggists are now recommending the improved nau- |sea1ess calomel. called "Calotabs," which is purified and refined from the sick ening and dangerous effects and whose medicinal virtues are vastly improved. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with swallow of water-thats all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your diet, pleas ures or work. Next morning your cold has vanished and your entire system is purified and refreshed.
 Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirtyfive cents.
 Your druggist guarantees Calotabs by
