DOCTORS SAY
THE NEW CALOMEL
IS BEST MEDICINE
New Variety, Called CaIotabs, Is
Purified and Refined From
Nauseating and SaIivating e.
feCts-MedicinaI Virtues Re-
tanned and Improved

According to the worlds greatest ply
sicians and medical authorities calomel
was the best and most universally useful
Of all medicines. Medical authorities pre-
scribed calomel for almost every disease
and explained that it was the best and
surest of all system purifiers. They say
that calome1 cleanses the liver, stomach.
bowels and kidneys and purifies the blood
from all poisons, making the system pure
and clean so that nature can quickly re-
store the health.
Now that science has purified calomeL
of all it's nauseating and dangerous quail
tiles, the new kind Of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is even more popular than the
old. AS a liver-cleanser and system purt-
fer Calotabs are more effective than the
old style calomel, yet are entirely delight
full in effect One Calotab at bedtime
with a swallow of water-that's all. No
nausea, no salts, nor the slightest I'M
pleasantness. Next morning you awake
feeling fine, with hearty appetite for
breakfast Eat what you please and go
where you please-there is no restriction
of habit or diet or danger of salvation.
Calotabs are sold only in original, sealed
packages, price thirty-fve cents. Your
druggist recommends and guarantees Cal
otabs, and will refund your money II you
are not deliThtad 18th th""o-(adV.)

ROAD.
BUILDING
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
Principal Factor Is Skill on Part Of
neutrality-suspicious. Given
as Guide.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The principal factor in successfully
operating a properly constructed road
drag provided that the condition Of
the road Is favorable, is skill on the
part of the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only by intelligent expert
ence in the use Of the drag. and no
rules can be laid down which would
enable an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol-
lowing suggestions are intended, there
fore, to serve rather as guide to the
judgment than as criterion to be i'm
plicity followed.
Under ordinary circumstances the
position Of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will make an angle Of from
60 to IS degrees with the center line
of the road, or, in other words, skew
angle of from Is to 80 degrees. 1t is
apparent that by shifting the position
of the hitching link the angle Of skew
may be increased or diminished as the
conditions require. When dragging
Immediately over ruts or down the
center of the road after the sides have
been dragged, it is usually preferable
to have the hitching link at the center
of the chain and to run the drag with
out skew. When the principal pur-
pose Of the dragging is to increase the
crown of the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge all
material as rapidly as it is collected
on the runners. On the other hand, if
depressions occur in the road surface,
the skew may perhaps be advantage
ously reduced to a minimum, thus en-
abling the operator to deposit the ma
terial which collects in front of the
runners at such points as he desires
by lifting or otherwise manipulating
the drag. Many other examples Of con-
ditions which require notifications in
the angle of skew might easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest
themselves to an intelligent operator
as his experience increases.
The length of hitch is another very
important consideration in operating a
road drag In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may be
readily taken up or let out at either
end and the length of hitch thus in
creased or diminished as desired. 1t
Is impracticable to prescribe even an
approximate rule for fixing the length
of hitch, because it is materially af-
fected by the height of the team and
the arrangement of the harness, as
well as by the condition of the road
surface. Experience will soon teach
the operator, however, when to short

When the road surface is sufficient
ly hard or the amount of material
which it is desired to have the drag
move is sufficient to warrant the OPP
orator standing upon the drag while it
is in operation, he can greatly taciil-
tate it's work by shifting his weight at
proper times. For example, if it is de-
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly, the operator should move to-
ward the discharge end of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end OF the
runners to swing forward and thus in
crease the skew angle Of the drag.
The operator may, of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving his
weight in the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount of cutting which the drag
does by shifting his weight backward
or forward, as the case may be.
An intelligent and interested opera
for will soon learn many simple ways
by means of which he can easily con-
trol the different features of the work
which a drag performs, and he will
also learn to utilize effectively every
effort which his team exerts.
