enough to constitute an objection to
marriage. But it would be more
sensible, considering the Importance

DOCTORS FIND REMEDY FOR
 COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs, the New NauseaIess Cal0- mel, Cuts Short Colds and Prevents Flu By Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from eX- perience during the epidemic of in- fluenza, that one of the most im- 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 enabled to throw off colds, check sore throats, and re- sist serious complications. For this purpose they have found the new, nau- sealess calomel, called Calotabs, is far more effective even than the old style calomel, which was formerly the universal favorite, as Calotabs do not weaken nor salivate the patient, nor interfere with the appetite and di- gestion. .a. .n
 At the first sign ofea cold or sore throat, doctors recommend one Calo- tab at bedtime with swallow of wa ter-that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor the slightest interference with your diet, pleasure, or work. Next morning you awake feeling fine, your liver is active, and your appetite is keen for good breakfast. For your protection Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thir- ty-five cents. All druggists recom- mend and guarantee Calotabs. Re- member, your money back if you are not glad you bought Calotabs.

ANOTHER PROOF OF
 TANK INGENUITY

Paris. Feb. 20.-Fresh proof of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the American soldier in France was given the other night at La Rochelle. An army quartet had been billed to play for the soldiers at the Young Mems Christian Association hut there. The train failed to come, after the man. ner of trains in France. John J. An derson of Dallas, Texas, the Y. M. q. A. secretary at La Pallice, near La Rochelle, explained the matter to the audience.
 Immediately an impromptu Jazz quartet was organized. One perform CT played on two pieces of sand paper, another on a piece of tin, the third with an automobile horn, and hhe fourth tried to make music with a leg of a chair
 With these instruments, the jazz band played" the popular music of the United States. to the great amuse- ment of the audience. Heated disputes as to what they were playing occu- pied large place on the evenings pro- gram. They were so popular how ever, that their audience refused to allow them to stop, until the regular performers arrived, and even then they continued. to play, to the. accom- .paniment of drum, a mandolin, a violin and piano. --

PROPOSE MANY CHANGES
 IN STATE AFFAIRS

Austin, Tex, Feb. 21.-The upper house of the Texas legislature today passed a board of control bill which proposes sweeping changes in state affairs. The plan of the measure is that purchasing of supplies for all state institutions and departments be placed under the supervision of a board composed of three members. If the bill becomes law, this board will control the expenditure of more than $4,000,000 year and several state departments will be abolished.
 While the senate was passing the board of control bill, the house passed bill proposing budget system of appropriations for state institutions and departments. The measure pro- poses that the governor shall prepare the appropriation budgets which will be submitted to the legislature for approval. At present appropriations are worked out by legislative commit tees from recommendations and esti- mates from the various institutions and departments.
 Both house and senate adjourned until ten o'clock Monday morning in commemoration of Washington's birthday.

 In the early days of the camp the craftsmen among the prisoners found the greatest difficulty in obtaining
 materials. A bit of wood or scrap of old iron was prize. 7
