BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.-At the re-

Europe are looking for food supplies,
Cardinal Gibbons has written to Pope
Benedict asking him to send an appeal
to the American people, urging them
to do everything possible to alleviate
the sufferings of the inhabitants in
various countries in Europe, particu-
larly Austria
The Cardinal to-day said Mr.. Hoover
had been to see him and told him OF
the true conditions in Austria. Mr..
Hoover said the newspaper accounts of
the sufferings of the people there have
not been exaggerated and that relief
must 60 to them with the utmost dis
patch.
Cardinal Gibbons has not yet heard
from the Pope, but expects word in a
few days. The Cardinal said there was
no doubt that the Pope would issue a
strong appeal in behalf of the Euro
pean sufferers.
A concerted effort is being made by
officials at Washington to get supplies
to the starving people, and it is said
that Mr.. Hoover will be the man who
will have charge of the situation Not
only is there grave shortage Of food
but also of fuel and clothing. Cardinal
Gibbons is very much interested in the
famine abroad and is doing everything
possible toward sending relief.
The Pope has just contributed 10O.-

POLISH JEWS DISSATISFIED WITH
MORGENTHAU'S WORK.

Warsaw (By I. J. P. B.)-The Polish
Jews and particularly the Socialists are
expressing much dissatisfaction with
Morgenthau's visit to Poland. The
Jewish papers write that his coming to
Poland and his attitude toward the situa-
ton there have done the Jews more
harm than have all the Polish anti
Semites. :
During Morgenthau's visit to Cracow,
it is reported, several Jewish officers
came to him to complain that they had
been dismissed for serving as Jewish Of
fcers.. Morgenthau justified the. Polish
government, saying that these men had
no right to emphasize their Jewishness.
America and other countries, he said,
would also object in similar instance.
Morgenthau made this statement in the
presence of Polish officer.

SEVEN MILLION |
U. S. DOLLARS FOR
ROADS IN GEORGIA
But Georgia Will Not Get a Cent
of 1t Until She Passes High
way Bill Which Suits the
Federal Government

Atlanta, Feb. Under the new
amendment to the federal postoffice
bill in the senate, 100000 is set
aside as Georgia's share Of the federal
road fund for this year and the next
two years, dispatches from Washing
ton announce. But none of this money
will be available until Georgia creates
state highway commission acceptable
to the government, and presents sys'
tenn OF highway improvement upon
which the federal fund is to be spent.
In the meantime. other states which
have passed the necessary highway
laws will go ahead with their work,
having the frst opportunity to engage
engineers, purchase materials and car.
ry out their plans.
Advocates of Georgia good roads are
urging Governor Dorsey to call an ex.
ira session of the legislature for an
early date, for the express purpose of
taking up the good roads laws and
passing some bill which will assure
work on the roads this summer. Even
IL nothing more is done for this year
than to raise the automobile license
tax, as proposed, it will mean many
thousands of dollars made available
for permanent road work. The pro.
posed $4O,000,O0O bond issue must, of
course, go before the people for rati-
fcation at the next general election,
but the federal road funds can be
made available before then.
Governor Dorsey, short time ago,
said he was maintaining an open mind
on the subject of an extra session, and,
If convinced, 1t would be best he would
call 1t. The special committee of the
legislature appointed by him to draft
a highway law will submit its report
to the governor on February 26, and
is expected to include in that report
a recommendation that the extra ses.
sion be called 1t is pointed out that
the expense of the proposed session
would be a great deal less than the
loss of even a few months use Of i'm.
proved roads, and that the increase
in automobile license fees this year
would far more than pay for the ses-
sion.

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is 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 Calotabs,
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 a long way towards pre-
venting influenza and is one of the
most important factors in enabling
the patient to successfully withstand
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 nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasure or work. Next morning
your liver is active, your system is
purified, and you are feeling fine, with
a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Druggists sell Calotabs only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your money will be cheerfully
refunded if you do not find them de-
lightful (adv.)
