/ loafed around the grad; pitched
horseshoes on the village green, and
monkeyed with the slot machine, and
fancied was glad. But soon my life
became a bore; / yearned to have a
man-sized chore, to make me tired at
night; l longed to pillow the rows of
corn, and hear the old tin dinner horn
and have an appetite. Another
month of gilded ease, and my old
dome was full of fieas, and bats and
things like those; the loafing life had
lost its charm, and / went whooping
to the farm, where toll is all that
goes. l pity all the slothful shirks;
true bliss is for the man who works
and sweats the long day through; who
knows, when comes the close Of day,
that he has grown a bale of hay, or,
peradventure, two.

DOCTORS find
REMEDY FOR
COLDS and FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausealess Cal.
omel Tablets, Cut Short Colds
and May Prevent Flu By
Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience, during the epidemic of in
tluenza. that one of the most i'm
portant factors in the prevention of
flu and pneumonia is to keep the
liver active so that the digestive
organs may be in perfect working
order and the system thereby en-
abled to throw off colds, check sore
throat. and resist serious complica-
lions. For this purpose they have
found that the new, nausealess
caIomel tablets called Calotabs. are
far more effective even than the old
style calomel, which was FORMERLY
the universal favorite, as Calotabs
do not weaken the patient, nor in
terfere with the appetite and diges-
ton.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat. doctors recommend one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow
of water-that's all. No salts, no
nausea, nor the slightest interior
ence with your diet. pleasure or
work. Next morning you wake up
feeling fine. your liver is active.
and your appetite Is keen for a good
breakfast.
For your protection Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed pack
ages, price thirty-five cents. All
druggists recommend and guaran-
tee Calotabs. Your money back II
you are not delishted With them-Ady.
