WHY DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE THE
new CAL0MEL
Medicinal Virtues Retained
and Improved = Unpleas- Is
ant and Salivating Quail
ties Removed-New Varl-
etv Called "Calotabs."

OF all the medicines in the world,
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon 1t most universally.
There must be q good and sufnclent
reason-what is it?
If YOU will study the doctors books
YOU will find that the medical authorl-
ties prescribe calomel for almost every
disease. The reason, is that calomel Is
the greatest and only through system
purifier. 1t makes the liver active,
drives out the poisons from the stom-
ach, bowels and kidneys and thereby
purifes the blood. Calomel puts the
entire system in the most favorable
condition for Nature to exercise her re-
cuperative power. That is why ne
prcscribes calomel so often.
The new kind Of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purified from
all of the nauseating and dangerous
qualities of the old style calomel and
is rapidly taking its place, for 1t Is
more effective than the old style Gallo
mel as a liver-cleanser and system
purifier. One Calotab at bedtime, with
a swallow of water-thats all. No
salts, no nausea, nor the slightest un-
pleasantness. Next morning you
awake feeling fine-with hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Eat what you
please. No restrictions of habit or
diet
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your mon
ey back if you are not delighted. (adv)

Peek Talks Back.-George n. Peek,
formerly chairman OF the Industrial
board, authorized a denial Of the
charge Of Walker D. Hines, director
general of railroads, that the price of
SAT a ton for steel rails is excessive.
Mr.. Peek asserts that the railroad ad-
ministration itself was unable to get
better bid than $50 a ton and intimates
that the steel companies in bidding SAT
a ton now are making the government
a price that private buyers could not
get.
THE statement Of the director gen.
eral of railroads is perhaps mislead-
ing" Mr.. Peek said, lin that he uses
as a basis for his deductions the profit
showing of the past three years, when
steel mills were crowded to capacity
on account of war demands and during
a considerable part Of which period
prices were fixed by the government
with the idea that production must be
stimulated to the limit
IF the director general desires to
be fair, why does he not take selling
prices for the pre-war period on rails
for example, and admit that to the
pre-war price Of rails, $50 ton, there
must be added approximately $40 per
ton on account Of the increase in direct
labor cost alone, exclusive of the IN
crease in cost of labor in transporta-
ton? And further, why does he ignore
the fact that, since the signing of the
armistice, steel prices generally have
been reduced between Is and 20 per
cent?
THE statement is further mislead-
ing in that Mr.. Hines neglects to IN
form the public that the price at winch
he finally concludes to purchase raiis'
SAT per ton (the figure approved by
the Industrial board, is S5 per ton
lower than the best the railroad ad-
ministration was able to secure for IT.

first fateful decision to play for safety.
We changed our course and began n.y.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
important Developments Expected al
Next Annual Meeting.

Important Developments Expected at
Next Annual Meeting.
The convention of the American
Federation Of Labor, which will open
at Atlantic City, N. j., on June 9Th,
writes a New York correspondent, is
expected to be one of the most impor-
tant gatherings in the history OF that
organization. The activity Of the radi-
cal element in the ranks of American
organized labor is expected, this year,
to revolve around the question of the
American Labor Party. Since it is
we'll known that Samuel Gompers, the
president Of the federation, is abso-
lutely opposed to political Labor par
ty, the sentiment Of dissatisfaction
with his leadership, which has been
growing in recent years, is expected to
be particularly evident at Atlantic
City. Although the close friends OF
Mr.. Gompers declare that there Is no
probability that he will either step
down or be ousted from his place, they
admit that the convention will discuss
big issues on which the delegates will
differ.
Some of the questions will be: The
peace treaty, the League of Nations
covenant, prohibition, industrial ver-
sus international unions, shop-com-
mittees systems, arbitration, education,
health insurance, political policy with
reference to a Labor party, national
legislation, housing, unemployment,
land settlement, reconstruction recent
court verdicts affecting labor, jurisdic-
tional disputes, and probably many
others which will be present in the
form of resolutions.
With reference to the radicals, Ches-
ter M. Wright, a member Of the party
that went to Europe with Mr.. Comp
ers, says:
"The convention will have no lack of
the craftsmanship that has made these
convention remarkable expressions OF
democratic progress. But as to the
prophets who see disruption, they will
be disappointed. 1t will be sad day
for America when they have their
wish, which is the basis Of their proph-
ecy in most cases"
A significant event recently as show
ing one of the directions from which
the radical element will gain strength
was the meeting of the Pennsylvania
State Federation of Labor, which re-
elected its president, James H. Maurer,
who opposed preparedness and Amer
ica's entrance into the war. The con-
vention voted for independent political
action, opposed the Allied and Ameri-
can policy in Russia, demanded with
drawal Of American troops. immediate
lifting Of the blockade, release of all
political prisoners, and recognition OF
the Irish Republic, and attacked the
National Civic Federation.
