WHY DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE THE
NEW CALOMEL
Medicinal Virtues Retained and Inn
prOved-UnpleaSant and Salivating
Qualities RemOved-New Variety
Called ~CalOtabs."

Of all the medicines in the world,
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally.
There must be a good and sufficient
reaSon-What is it?
If you will study the doctors books
you will find that the medical au-
thorities prescribe calomel for almost
every disease. The reaso nthat calomel
is the greatest and only thorough sys-
tem-purifier. 1t makes the liver ac-
tive, drives out the poisons from the
stomach, bowels and kidneys and
thereby purifies the blood. Calomel
puts the entire system in the most
favorable condition for Nature TO ex e.
ercise her recuperative power. That
is why he prescribes calomel so often.
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purified
from all of the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of the old style cal
omel and is rapidly taking it's place,
for it is more effective than the old
style calomel as liver cleanser ana
system purifier. One Ca'otab at bed
time, with a swallow of water-tnat's
all. No salts, no nausea, nor the
slightest unpleasantness. Next morn
you awake feeling fine-with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat what you
please. No restrictions of habit or
DIT
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Your money
back if you are not delighted. adv

How Easter is Determined.


Easter comes this year on April 90
Why? The proper method of arriv-
ing at the correct date has caused
much conjecture, and the following is
printed for those who have inquired:
The date of Easter Sunday depends
upon the moon. At the time of the in
PRODUCTION of the Gregorian calendar,
there was a lively debate as to
whether Easter should continue to be
movable, or a fixed Sunday after
March 81 should be chosen. It was
decided to maintain the old method of
measuring time by the moon.
Easter Sunday is always the first
Sunday after the Paschal full moon
that is, the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 21st day of
March. By observing this rule, Sun
day, April 20, the first full moon sfter
March 81, is established as Easter
Sunday
The use of eggs in connection with
the celebration is based on pre-Christ-
ian mythology, in which the egg is
held as a symbol of resurrection.

SOUTH AWAITS
SIGNAL TO GO
ON BIG " LOAN

ATLANTA, April 14-With the open
ing Of the Victory Loan a few days
away, preparations made all over the
Sixth Federal Reserves district indi-
cate that the South is keyed up and
ready to go. The workers are being
lined up and in hundreds of cities and
counties plans have been made for
elaborate parades and other celebra-
lions, in which the boys who fought
over there will take part
Volunteer Days., the first two
days of the campaign, are expected to
make a new record in the South, es-
pecially in those counties which have
adopted the individual quota plan. In
those counties every resident will be
notified in advance of the amount he is
expected to subscribe. He will not be
solicited, but is expected to report at
the headquarters and enter his sub
scription voluntarily In the fourth
campaign several counties using this
system went over the top in the first
two days and no solicitation was
necessary.
The eighteen armored tanks to be
used in the Southern States in the
Victory Loan campaign are at Camp
Jesup, near Atlanta, being camoufaged
by experts who served in France. The
tanks were odd enough to start with,
but under their new coats of weird
paint designs they were grotesque, in
deed. The tanks will be distributed
among the states before the cam
paign opens.
Officials of the Liberty Loan organi-
cation who have returned from a con-
ference at Washington believe the
Victory Bonds will be purchased read
lily. They are to be short term notes"
at an attractive interest rate, which
will assure that their market value
will keep up, financiers say, and from
an investment standpoint they will Of
fer many advantages. But the cam
paign is to be based on the patriotic
note, urging the people to finish the
job and help Uncle Sam pay the war
bills

Books of Treasurer
&c Out of Balance

County Treasurer H d. Watts was
the proudest man in Sumter county to-
day, all because of an entry made on
his record by w. o. Martin & Co., who
are auditing the county's accounts.
The audit embraced 27 months and the
entry made by the auditors showed
Mr.. Watts accounts to be two cents
out of balance.
Pretty poor for an old man, who,
they say, is too feeble to handle this
Office properly" said Mr.. Watts, who
is a veteran of the civil war and one
of the pioneer citizens of the county.

HUSBAND SAYS
YOU LOOK TEN

l Feel That Way, Too, Says Wife of
Prominent Farmer Near Athens,
Who Has Taken Two Bottles Of
DrecO.

Il suffered from sick and nauseat-
ed stomach. My liver was always
sluggish, and my back ached some
thing awful, was so nervous l could
not sit still and had an aching pain in
my left side. Every afternoon l had
tearing, throbbing headaches and the
doctors said had female complaint, !"
says Mrs. H. C. Griffith, who lives on
Rural Route 5, Athens, Ga.
But just look at me now. | have

look ten years younger, and I sure do
feel that way. Dreco saved my life.''
The organs of the body are so
closely allied than when one becomes
weak, sick or deranged, soon all may
be affected. A weakened, rundown
condition impairs all the vital organs.
A blood disorder results in poor nu-
triton inn the digestive organs and
the nervous system may break down.
Perfect health demands strong organs
and rich, pure blood.
Dreco is a compound of the pure
juices and extracts of Natures own
remedies of roots, herbs, barks and
berries, which act in a natural way on
the blood and vital organs to build
them up and keep, them in state of
perfect health.
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is highly recommended in Amer
icus by Americas Drug Co. adv

Maize Grown In China.

Indian corn, or maize, is grown exc
tensively throughout the entire Sec
ton of China. 1t is generally planted
after the wheat is harvested and in
fields with beans, the beans ripening
after the corn is harvested. The lack
of scientific seed selection prevents
the production of as large yield as
would otherwise be obtained.

The Hardest Job in Every Business

IN nearly every line production has been
increased on account of the war. The
u hardest Job ahead is to find market III
peace times for what those factories turn out.
Money is made-not in manufacturing
in selling. Yet selling seldom receives the
attention it deserves.
The number of factories manufacturer can
build-the profit he can earn-are limited by
the amount of merchandise for which he can
find profitable market.
If demand can be kept ahead of production, a
profitable market is sure. And the one way to
keep demand ahead Of productions by adver-
Using - teaching the public to use more OF
your goods.
In the past the South has bent her energies on
manufacturing The marketing of her prod
ucts were largely left to others who took the
raw materials and staples and converted
them into specialties, trade-marked,' adver-
tised and sold them. And, invariably, it is the
sellingof specialtieS that pays the wide margin
of profit and the selling of staples that pays
the slim.
Greater profits - keeping conditions in our
hands instead of on them-depend upon our
marketing our goods as well as upon our max
ing them.
The South's cotton goods should be known by
brand-names in Detroit just as we know and
buy the various makes of automobiles pro-
duced by the citizens of that enterprising
Michigan city,
Lumber, Of which the South is the Nations
greatest possessor, will be needed for recon
struction and the merits of our various woods
should be convincingly told by advertising.
TIL. South is the greatest reproducing sec
ton OF America In the vegetable oils from
her cotton-seed, peanuts and soy beans she
produces more fat than all the dairy cows of
Amerca-morc fat than all the hogs slaught-
cred in year More Southern-made and
marketed compound lards and salad oils
would bring additional millions into Dixie.

WHERE ARE THE WORKERS
An Urgent Appeal to the Red Cross
Women of Ellsworth.

The work rooms of the Ellsworth chap
ter of the American Red Cross in the
county courthouse are open every Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday from 80 to
5p. m. There is work, lots OF work, still
to be done for the suffering refugees from
the war-stricken countries of Europe.
But where are the workers? Each day
faithful few show up at the work rooms
a half dozen, perhaps, often less. And
there is work for dozens of women.
Ellsworth is not alone in this apparent
slackening of effort since the armistice
was declared. The New England division
headquarters last week sent out an appeal
for workers, declaring that the Red Cross
of New England is facing the most serious
crisis since it came into existence as war
relief agency. The letter from head
quarters says:
"To-day Northern France and Belgium,
freed from the invader, lie absolutely
PROSTATE. A million and one half refu-
gees have returned or are returning to
the places that were their homes. Hun
dreCs Of villages and over twenty large
These people are living under the most
terrible conditions and these conditions
are such that u considera BILE length of
time must elapse before they are bettered
In the meantime the weather is cold and
the refugees are still wearing such clothes
as their recent captors have allowed them
to retain. In order to reilev these con-
ditions, the Red Cross undertook, starting
last falt, a very large program of garment
making.
A large portion of the garments on this
order have already been shipped TO chap
tiers. The balance is being cut and shipped
as rapidly as possible. All of the order
Will probably be cut, assembled and
shipped to the chapters before January
and these orders for refugee garments
should be pressed to completion as rapidly
as possible. All work on hospital gar
ments must be stopped until the refugee
work is finished.
This Is he work on which the Ellsworth
chapter now engaged. 1t is hoped the
appeal to the women OF Ellsworth will
not be III vain.
The Red Cross has been aut horized to
sell unbroken skeins of sweater ana sock
yarn on hand at cost. 1t may be oolained
at the office of the county secretary in the
pos office building.
