tall for my age. go with a young
man, % years old. He thinks I am

How Caloids Gained Popularitv.

Before CalOids, the new CaIomel
preparation, were put on the market
they were sold for months in the drug
store of the man originating them.
They were not advertised in any way,
and no particular effort was made to
sell them. The few people who bought
them during the first few weeks were
80 well pleased that they commenced
recommending them to their friends.
The result was that within a very
short time Caloids were Outselling
other calomel preparations that ahd
been extensively advertised for years.

you all the beneficial effects of Gallo
mel. but without the nauseating effect
of that drug use Caloids

OCTOBER PURCHASES SHOW BIG
INCREASE OVER SEPTEMBER,
REPORT SAYS.

With more than a million organ
lied workers on strike throughout
the country and with prices higher
than they have been since the Civil
war, the treasury department reports
that the sale OF thrift and war saw
ings stamps and treasury savings
certificates for the month of October
exceeded the receipts from such sales
for September by $1,200,O00. and
that the October total was greater
than the amount sold during any one
month since last April. According to
a telegram to Governor John U. Cal
kins of the San Francisco federal re-
serve bank from Washington, the Oc-
tober sales of these war savings Sc
curities amounted to $7,316,467.60.

the high price situation is to work

''The news from Washington is
cheering. Only by this stern method
of sacrificing for the time our desires
for luxuries and saving wealth and
money to stimulate production of ne
cessities can we bring prices back to
normal.
This is a personal problem which
it is the duty of every American man
and woman to help solve, and the
only way to solve it is to save. Sta
bility of labor. stability Of business
and even stability of government
rests virtually upon the willingness
of every person in this country to
work and save. Investment of say

vides a working channel, especially
