HOW DOCTORS.

AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purxative With Calotabs, the

Tablets That Are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

DOCTORS have found by experience that no
nedieine for colds and influenza can be de-
pended upon for full effec tiveness until the
liver is made thoroughly active. That is why
the first step in the treatment is the new,
nxuseAless calomel tablet called Calotabs,
ard which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style calomel.
Doctors also point out the fact that an &C
tive liver may go a long way towards pre-
venting influenza and is one of the most i'm
portant factors in enabling the patient to
success sfully withstand an attack and ward
nd pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed time,
with swallow of water-that's all. No
salts, no nausea the slightest interior

Next morning your cold has vanished. your
liver ID active, your system is purified, and
you are feeling fine. with hearty appetite

cents Your money will be cheerfully re-
funded if you do not find them delightful

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm-Up.

The sensation of the year in the drug
trade is Aspironal, the two-minute cold ana
cough reliever authoritatively guaranteed
by the laboratories; tested, approved and
most enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by the COM
mon people as ten times quick and effec-
tive as whiskey, rock and rye, or any other
cold and cough remedy they have ever tried.
Al, drug stores are nov Supplied with the
wonderful new elixir, so all you have to do
get rid of that cold is to step into the
nearest drug store, hand the clerk half a
dollar for a bottle of Aspironal and tell him
to serve you two teaspoonfuls with four tea
spoonfuls of water in glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink at one
swallow and call for your money back in
two minutes if you cannot feel your cold
fading away like dream within the time
limit Don't be bashful, for all druggists
irvite you and expect you to try it Every
bodys doing it.
When your cold cough is relieved, take
the remainder of the bottle home TO your
wife and babies. for Aspironal is by far the
safest and most effective. the easiest to
take and the most agreeable cold and cough
remedy for infants and children.-Adv-

COAL MOVEMENT
BEING RUSHED BY
SOUTHERN ROADS
Every Available Coal Car Is
Pressed Into Service and
Must Be Unloaded
Within "a Hours

Atlanta, October 2s.-Efforts of the
railroad administration to expedite
movement of coal has been intensified
as result of the threatened strike of
soft coal miners, it was announced at
the office of B. l.. winchell, director of
the southern region. Consignees who
do not unload cars within "a hours will
get no more deliveries during the emer-
gency.
The statement follows:
Efforts of the railroad sdministra-
ton to expedite the movement of coal
have been intensified as a result of the
coal miners threat to strike on Novem-
Der l. Every available piece of coal
carrying equipment has been pressed
into service, and, to keep cars moving,
instructions to railroad officers have
been issued even more rigid than those
in effect since last summer, when the
campaign to increase coal transporta-
ton began. To insure against idle cars
on delivery tracks, and at industrial
plants, il has been found necessary to
signees who will cooperate through
prompt unloading. Twenty-four hours
is fixed as a reasonable unloading time,
and consigneeS who do not unload with
in that limit will have no further de-
liveries made to them during the exist
ing emergency"

Simple Home Method
Easily Erases Wrinkles

Thousands have reported great success
with the famous saxolite wrinkle removing
formula One ounce of pure powdered sax
olte is dissolved in half-pint of witch
hazel and the solution used as face wash.
The effect is almost magical. The deepest
wrinkles and crows feet, well the fin
est lines-whether due to age, illness,
weather worry-are immediately affected
No one need hesitate to try this simple To-
ton, it will not harm any skin. Any drug
gist. of course, can supply the ingredients.
When you have that tired, careworn look
and you want to freshen up for the after
noon evening, bathing the face in the
axolite lotion will produce wonderful trans
formation. You will find this more refresh
ing than an hours rest.

INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

The question of the closed shop is
purely one of individual rights. The union
says no man can work in the coal mines
of this country-regardless of how he
feels about the queStion-unless he be
member of the union. Surely this is au-
tocracy in its WORST form Such move
ment threatens our very civic and moral
existence. No sane order of society can
countenance any agreement forced upon
one of its members, or group OF its
members by a highway robber.' This is
what the closed shop demand amounts
ito.
"a spirit of tolerance raised man above
the beasts of the field and the vultures
of the air. and anything that seeks to
destroy this spirit of tolerance cannot
result N good. Because we believe n in
dividual rights, and because we have a
spirit of tolerance, we shall not re cede
one iota from the open shop

the only one involved in the steel strike
