Relatives of Dead Victims of
 PrOfiteering

Paris, Dec. 22.-Relatives of soldiers who fell at the battlefront are being victimized by cab driv- CTS, hotel men, dealers in collins and grave diggers, according to LInformation. The newspaper says the "odious exploitation of grief is such that it cannot be passed over in silence" It is charg- ed that worst cases of >imposition occur in the Champagne and Som- me regions where unhappy pil- grims are charged from 60 to 65 francs for a six-n1ile drive. It is Said the carriage drivers, in agree ilient with inn keepers, invariably manage to miss the last train out of these regions so that the mour- ners are compelled to stay all night.
 "Coffins of the cheapest grade, 400 francs, while soldiers who it is said, are sold at from 300 to open graves charge 60 francs for bringing the coffin to the grave and in addition ask relatives to pay 40 francs for 20 minutes work in exhuming the body of a soldier.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is q Brisk Purgative With CalOtabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausealess, Safe and
 Sure.

Doctors have found by experi- ence that no medicine for colds and influenza can be depended up- on for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausealess calomel tablet called Calotabs, and which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out that fact that an active liver may go a long way towards pre- venting influenza and is one of the most important factors in enabling the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time, with a swallow of water that's all. No salts, no nau- sea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleasure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is ac-l tive, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hear ty appetite for breakfast. Drug gists sell Calotabs only in ori- ginal sealed packages, price 35 cents. Your money will be cheer fully refunded if you do not find them delightful. Adv.

 former soldiers to keep the or zganization free from politics. "The American legion is not partisan,' '
