.CALOMEL ROBBED
OF ITS NAUSEA
Medicinal Virtues Retain
ed and Improved-Un-
pleasant and Sickening
Qualities Removed.
New Tablet Called "Cal-
otabs."

The latest triumph OF modern phar-
macy Is a "de-nauseated" calomel tab
let known to the drug trade as Gallo
tabs" Calomel, the most generally USE
full OF all medicines thus enters upon a
wider field Of popularity,-purified and
refined from those Objectionable quail
ties which have heretofore limited its
use.
In biliousness, constipation and indi-
gestion, and in a great variety of liver,
stomach and kidney troubles calomel
was the most successful remedy but It's
use was often neglected on account OF
its sickening qualities. Now 1t is the
easiest and most pleasant of medicines
to take. One tablet on the tongue al
bedtime with a swallow of water
that's all. No taste, no gripping, nc
nausea, no salts. A good nights sleeT
and the next morning you are feeling
fine, with a clean liver and a big ap-
petite, Eat what you please. No
danger.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five cents.
Your druggist offers to refund the price
as a guarantee that you will be thor
oughly delighted with Calotabs. adv

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Musified
coocanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces.
You a get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t In, about a t~easpoonful Is all
that is required. 1t makes an album
dance Of rich, creamy lather, c~leanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The

and easy to handle. Besides, IL loosens

question. Mantel had hit him hard, by
saying that a test showed his milk II

ding that Skinner had been arrested
