G0ULDBAN STRIKES

Senator Sherman Of Illinois, in an
address e the Wilson Normal Com
uunity Center rally last night, ex-
pressed his belief that Community cen
torEs 81 Organized in districts where
the are now strikes, would prevent q
repetition OF labor troubles, and
would have been instrumental in de-
feFring the present exigency until q
time when reconciliation could have
been effected.
"A man has a right, without ostra-
ciEm or blacklisting. 20 engage in
business without belonging 70 a labor
union" declared Senator Sherman
NO one has a right to say what or
gauization a man shall belong to any
more than he has a right to restrict
his belonging 10 any other one" he
continued. What this country wants
Sc not more unions, but a big league
OF free American men"

Atlanta, Ca, jan. The offer OF
General Pershing to release officers
and men Of the A. E. F. from mill
tary duty in order that their services
might be utilized by the Y. M. c. A.
resulted in the recruiting Of large
number Of soldiers for "Y" work, and
naturally resulted in decrease in the
number of men being sent from this
country overseas.
Up until the time General Pershings
offer was made, the Y. M. G. A. had
done extensive recruiting for the pur-
pose Of sending a large number of
workers overseas. But when it was
learned that workers could be secured
in France-men well fitted for the
work because of their familiarity with
cOnditions-the services Of many men
in the United States were not needed.
While many candidates for service
overseas were disappointed over the
outcome, the Y. M. c. A. could not
have acted otherwise. General Per
hing told the "Y" to take any SOL

NAUSEALESS CALOMEL
is BEST FOR FLU
Doctors and Druggists Claim Calotabs,
the Nausealess Calomel, Is Best
Laxative for Colds, Grippe and
Influenza,

At the first sign of cold, is the
time to take Calotab, the perfected
nausealess calomel that has all the
liver benefits left in and the sting
taken out. Doctors say that there is
nothing like it to put your liver
right and keep your system in condi-
tion to resist and avoid colds, influ-
enza and pneumonia.
The best insurance against influ-
enza and pneumonia is a good active
liver and your physician or druggist
will tell you that Calotabs is the most
thorough and effective as well as the
safest and most agreeable remedy for
this purpose.
One Calotab at bed time with a
swallow of water - that's all. No
salts, no nausea, nor the slightest
interference with your eating, pleas
ure, or work. Next morning you "a
wake feeling fine with a hearty ap-
petite for breakfast. Your col has
vanished and you are ready for work
or play Calotabs are sold by drug
gists everywhere in sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents. Your money,
handed right back if you are not de-
lighted.-1-26 1t-221.
