HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE
The Improved CalOmel Tablet That is
Entirely Purified of All Nauseating
and Dangerous Qualities.

Physicians are warning the public
against triling with colds and grippe.
They say that a brisk calomel purga-
tive, preferably C~alotabs, the new and
improved calomel tablet, should be IN
variably taken at bed time and re-
peated the second or third night, f
necessary. In the earliest stages, one
Calotab is usually sufficient unless the
case is particularly severe
Physicians say that it is a waste
of time and is dangerous to expert
ment with other laxatives, as calomel
is absolutely necessary soone or later.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed time
with a swallow of water,-that's all.
No salts, no nausea o the slightest
interference with diet, work or pleas
ures. Next morning your cold has
vanished and your whole system is
purified and refreshed. Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages.
Price thirty-five cents. Recommended
and guaranteed by druggists every
where. Price refunded if you are not
Gelighted.-Adv.

Crochet Sweater
Fashions Latest

Now that the balmy days are here,
the charm of life beckons us and we
become more and more interested in
weekend trips. The wardrobe for
the out-of-town visit, is an important
item, and one of the most important
articles is the sweater. Last year one
took knitting needles along on the
trip and came back with new
sweater or at least good start on
one.
This year the knitting needles have
been dropped and the crochet hooks
are the thing. The result is new
mode in the sweater world-the filet
sweater. These sweaters made quite
Juror at Palm Beach and now ev-
cry sweater department is showing
the new filet crochet novelty.
1t you have not already made the
acquaintance of filet Sweater do let
me introduce you to its charm of de-
tail. The slip-over is the popular
model, and the lower edge is crochet
ed to make wide band, perhaps nine
inches in depth. Usually the sides
of the sweater are left open the width
OF the banding, to allow more grace
ful line over the hips. And. if YOU
are expert at lace making, work in
motif here and there through the
body part, which, you understand, is
entirely of rather open square
mesh.
The colors of these sweaters are
quite matter of personal fancy.
though the lighter tones seem to he
more attractive, as the contrast of the
blouse showing through the mesh is
not so decided. To my mind. biege.
pale yellow or gray are very lovely
though ever popular is rose and var,
lous violet shades. If by chance YOU
find white is needed for becoming
ness, make your collar from white
wool, but of a design in keeping with
the motif used in the rest of YOUR
sweater

ARMY OF RED ANTS
ATTACK AND STING
ARTHUR WALLACE
Little Fellows Hands, Arms,
Face and Body Suffer from
Insect Bites.

Arthur Wallace, three-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. C. Wallace, 905
West Fifteenth, has suffered the pain
fully unique experience of being at
tackled by ants. The little fellow
picked up a piece of cake from the
sidewalk in front of his home which
was at the time the rendezvous of
several families of ants, and they re-
scented the interference.
They first attacked the child's face
and hands, and so badly did they sting
him that his entire face was perfor
ted and swollen. The ants then got
into his clothes. ard scattered all ov
err his body, singing a trail as they
went. Mrs. Wallace was unable to
account for the appearance of the
child's face, and the little boy was
crying from the pain of the stings
because he did not know what was
causing them. Not until his mother
had stripped him were the ants dis
covered. A physician was called and
prescribed soothing balm. After
the discovery of the ants it was feared
that one of them might have crawled
into his ear, but this was found not
to be the case.

SOCIETY GIRLS
WITH AUTOS AID
CHARITY WORK
Transport Workers on Calls, and
Take Riddles Out for
Rides.

The Associated Charity workers are
badly in need of transportation fac
ilities. in order to carry on their work
both in the county and in the city.
Miss Core Hunnycutt, the general
secretary, and Mss Marjorie Reyburn,
the assistant secretary, are splendid
walkers, and are compelled to do a
good deal of it, but in many cases calls
come that simply cannot be made on
foot
Several of the young ladies in the
town, most of them just home from
school, have been rendering valuable
assistance in this line. The girls are
in their automobiles part Of the time
and are glad of tbs opportunity to
do something worth while for the
charity work of the city.
The young ladies often go to the
detention home on West Seventh Az
enue, and take the children out for
a ride through the city and country,
and sometimes take them to the mo-
vies, and buy them ice cream cones.
All these are seemingly little things,
and yet amount to great deal in the
lives of the people less fortunate
than the majority. Miss Mary earn
ahan. Frances Cross, Gertrude Baer,
and Lucille Simmons are some of the
young ladies who have rendered such
valuable assistance. Some Of these,
however, have gone away for the sum-
mer and many more could be used in
their places.
If there are any who are inclined to
take up the service these young la
dies have begun, please call the As
ISOLATED Charities office, Phone 1860.

PAJAMAS RIVAL NIGHTGOWNS

The increased use of pajamas has
given rise to many new and varied
designs, They are welcomed by the
fair ser because their are quite COM
Portable and also very easy to make
at home. The younger girls want
nothing but pajamas, for they may
romp and play about in perfect ease.
Some are made in one piece from
the neck to ankle, and the attractive
ness is increased when they are de-
veloped in contrasting colors. This
effect is obtained by banding the
edges of satin ribbon of some eff
tectlve color, and then adding a bit
OF embroidery of the same shade.
The separate skirts never will be
"passe," if for no other reason than
1t is q reasonable excuse for the crea-
ton and wearing of pretty blouses.
rms does not mean, however, that
the skirt is merely background for
the blouse, for at times the interest
IN the skirt is more impressive than
that in the blouse.
