WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROO1

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

such conditions.

To provide proper homes for the
people is one of the worthiest objects
of human endeavor. Proper housing
conditions have been regarded as the
basis upon which all other reforms
and betterments must rest. Without
decent home surroundings, light and
air, proper sanitation, we do not have
good citizens. All of this has been said
many times before. The surprising
thing is that in this country, at least.
there has been comparatively little in

Peace Epiorams.

At dinner the other night to Ed
ward Price Bell, the well-known Amer
lean journalist, several epigrams were
related about the peace terms. The
Americans described it as "a peace

feelings of the ordinary man who has
had to work through the 10000 words,
that it is peace that passeth under

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 hlIn TuE Fill AIvU I'LL ILU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the
 New Nausealess Calomel-

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and infiu- enza can be depended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausealess Calomel called Calotahs, which is free from the sickening, weakening, and salivating effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver goes long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most im- portant factors in enabling the pa- tent to successfully withstand an at tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time, with swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eat ing, pleasure or work. Next morn ing your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with hearty appetite for breakfast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in origi- nal sealed packages, price thirty-five cents Your money will be cheerful ly refunded if you do not find them delightful-~Adv.
