FOR COLDS AND
GRIPPE DOCTORS
FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elsted
over the fact that they have at last
found genuine and dependa BILE
remedy for colds. sore throat and Ia
grippe. For years they have depended
chiefly upon the old style calomel,
which Is certainly fine, but unfortun-
ately many people would not take IL
because OF Its nauseating and danger
Gus qualities
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess Gallo
mel called "Calotabs" whose medic
inal virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy to
abort a cold over night and cut short
an attack OF sore throat or Ia grippe.
They are also finding Il most ef-
fective as the first step IN the treat
ment OF pneumonia
One Caiotab on the tongue AZ bed

your work and pleasure. The next
morning your cold has vanished and
your whole system is purified and re-
freshed- Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages: price

A TRANSPORTATION VISION.

Editor e. RaSO Herald.
There has been a great deal OF COM
plant lately about our street car and
iitne service. II looks to me as II
we need some improvement in both,
but should not expect too much on
short notice
While we cannot overlook the need
Of improvement, we can, at least be
open minded Personally. I an in no
position to criticise Stone < Webster
have never been in close contact
with them-but II does seem that
this corporation Is making efforts TO
FILL the bill" Probably few persons
realize the expense of new tracks and
rolling stock, not to mention delays in
deliveries from factories. And, also,
an express service adds to the dan
ger for vehicles, pedestrians, and au-
toists-
Is there no way that jitnes and
trolley cars can cooperate2 With the
rail lines used as trunk lines. and
autos making connection at desirable
corners, we gould cover the city
thoroughly. Il might prove pract' cal
to exchange transfers; but to do this
the jitnes would have to form a cor
porate body. Or become a municipal
function. The short hauls would
probably more than offset the SEEM
ing loss to each party issuing the
transfers.
Should Stone & Webster refuse to
sanction some such method. there is
hardly any legal obstacle in the way
of FL Paso II she decides to put in
system Of auto service. Some very
sane men are looking forward to the
day when railroads viii be superseded
by automobiles and trucks in both
passenger and freight service Just
at present however. we need cooper
ations and not antagonism.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
an a constant reader and ad-
mirer Of The Herald.
As an annual visitor for many
years I am now making my twelfth
winter visit in the city. I came first
mers in Iowa, where 1 edit a paper.
and my winters in FL Paso. from
which place I still edit the Iowa pa
per by mail 1 speak OF these things
that it may be known that I have
had good opportunities Of knowing
city and its environments.
When I first came TO the city to
visit my daughter, I had the feeling
that il was the worst little city that
had ever known Almost all forms
Of WickedneSS were in evidence and
used open doors" everywhere. There
seemed to be but little or no shame.
I may so speak since I once heard
former president Theodore Roosevelt
say the same thing in Cleveland
square He was careful to add, as
do now. that it had become a decent
and beautiful city.
I have in silent quiet watched its
progress towards betterment and I
now feel free TO say that 1t has been
rapid and wonderful I have never
known a more remarkable progress
from the bad TO the better. The
streets have been paved. the yards
ornamented, the old church buildings
have disappeared and new and beau
tiful houses OF worship have come
in their places. and these churches
are filled with intelligent Christians
and citizens. To me It seems like an
Aladdin performance.
The growth and Improvement may
be noted everywhere and much vice
and squalor has passed away. Gross
sins have become ashamed and sought
cOncealment where virtue has pur-
sued them seeking their extinction.
Much Of the roughness and cOarseness
has passed awav and refinement and
ELEGANCE has taken its place.
Congratulations are due to the IN
ceasing efforts OF the good citizen
ship Of the people OF FL PasO and
county.
And now Il is important, all import

U. S. EXPENDITURES ARE
FAR BELOW ESTIMATES

Washington. D. c.. Feb. ACTUAL
financial Outlays by the United States
have been far less than estimates
made last June. For ordinary war
purposes, the government has spent
about $3.50, 900, 900 in the seven
months although estimated expenses
for IL months were s12 ,3l6. 100000.
Thus, with the year more than hall
gone, only about one-third Of the es-
Inmates has been expended
Expenditures are increasing month
y as the war department, shipping
board and other agencies make pay
ments on contracts let some time ago,
and II the same rate OF increase as
reported for the last few months con-
tinues, the actual outlay between now
and next June 80. the end OF the fiscal
year. would be about $1,000 100000,
including allied loans.
The government now Is spending
about s24.O00.0O0 a day for its own
war expenses and s15,000.000 a day
for loans to the allies

Their Married Life
Warren Agrees to Go to the Bells For Weekend anc
Then Upsets All Helen's Plans

T7ELEN had been hoping that
Warren would say nothing this
- - year about the yearly family
party at Carries. Before old Mrs
Curtis had died Helen had endured a
family party On almost every holiday.
and now that Warren't father was
living with Carrie and Fred, Carrie
had invariably thought It her duty
20 continue the custom. Carrie al
ways made Helen feel that It was a
duty and not a pleasure.
Now that Winifred was growing
older Helen felt more than ever, that
Carries attitude Of disapproval was
bad Tor the child, and would be sure
20 incite trouble OF some kind. Roy
was growing older, TOO, and was be-
ginning to develop bold tendencies
that Helen did not like. He had all Of
his childish faults, with others added.
Re played with boys who were older
than he was. and his attitude toward
Ninifred sav0red OF a bOastful patron
age which Helen did not fancy.
When Carrie and Fred had been IN
shopping they had come up to the
apartment for dinner one evening.
Roy had been with them, and as
special favor Winifred had been al
lowed 20 sit up
Just this once" Helen had con-
ceded- And Roy had said ieeringly:

Helen had felt Ike boxing his ears,
but Carrie had smiled indulgently.
and had remarked acidly. you do

her. don't you Helen - Looking at
Warren FOR commentator.
Helen did not know herself how she
managed to get them all off for home
without precipitating anything like a
quarrel, and afterward she remem-
bersd with a thrill OF eLuitation that
nothing had been said about the
yearly party.
Helen and Warren had been invited

Why is the submarine called an

man expression "uber wasser"?
Please do not forget TO teach voters

cream TO cleanse her face, yet dares
not use anything that will make flesh
