LOCUST HUM

The song Of The locust is nearly
stilled, and where few days ago
there was continuous hum in the
rural snd suburban sections, seldom o
chirp is now heard. The day OF the
li-year periodical visitor is about
ended, and The ravases, which in for
mer years were considered more or
less serious, are hardly in evidence,
showing that The tribe is fast dwind-
ling in numbers and, like the d0do

NEW CALOMEL Is
BEST FOR COLDS
AND INFLUENZA
Doctors Now Prescribe Calotabs, the
Purified Calomel, That is Safe
and Nausealess.

Doctors are warning the public
that simple colds and mild cases of
influenza often lead to pneumonia
and other serious complications.
They say that every cold should re-
ceive immediate attention and that
the first step in the treatment is to
make sure that the liver is active.
For this purpose CaIotabs, the per-
fected, nausealess calomel that is
freed from danger of salvation, is
the surest, best and nose agreeable
laxative.
One Calotab at bed time with a.
swallow of water-that's all, no
salts, no nausea, no danger and no
upsetting of the digestion and appe-
title. Next morning your cold has
vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified and refreshed and
you are feeling fine with a hearty
appetite for breakfast.
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents. All druggists
recommend and guarantee Calotabs
by offering to refund the price if you
are not delighted with them.

Guiding speakers was outlined.
The meeting was brought to a
close with a talk by Mr. Snapp who
gave report of the recent meeting
of the Presidents of the. Central d.
vision which was held in Birmingham,
Ala. Some of the interesting facts
which he brought out in his closing
message were:
"In the last quarter of a century
eighty per cent of all the missionaries
sent out by the Methodist Church has
been furnished by the Epworth
League.
"The Epworth League was the first
organization to be assigned and to de-
finitely assume a part in the Mission
airy Centenary Campaign for thirty
five million dollars, pledging itself
within the next five years to raise
over threehundred and eighty thou
sand.
"Of the five hundred volunteers to
be furnished within the next five
years for missionary work the Ep-
worth League proposes to recruit two
In urging annunited cooperation
and appealing to his co-workers for
a large and nobler tasks, Mr.. Snapp
closed his talk by telling of his re-
cent visit to Centennial Park, Nash
vile, Tenn:
"1n returning from Birmingham, it
was my privilege, in company with
Brother Savage, to visit Centennial
Park. 1t is a beautiful place. One
thing that attracted by attention was
a large sun dial about four feet tall,
which was surrounded by beautiful
flower beds that were we'll cared for
in every way. On the sun dial in

which invariably causes one to med
itate:
Tomorrow its not ours to know
That all again shall see the flowers.
Tomorrow is the Gods, but only
To-day is ours.
LET US go from this meeting with a
strong determination to Immediately
take up the work before us and press
it to successful conclusion. To-day,
and not tomorrow, is ours"
The meeting then adorned with
the League benediction.
