HOW DOCTORS
treat COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo
tabs, the Purified and Re-
fined Calomel Tablets
That Are Nausealess,
Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experiences
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can be depended upon for full
effectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active. That is why the
first step in the treatment is the new,
nausealess calomel tablet called Calo-
tabs and which are free from the sick
ening and weakening effects Of the
old-style calomel. Doctors also point out
the fact that an active liver may go
long way toward preventing influ-
enza and is one of the most important
factors in enabling the patient to sue
cessfully Withstand an attack and ward
off pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water--that'a
all No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded II you do not find them

MEXICANS KILL
SO AMERICANS
IN THREE YEARS
Fletcher Testifies Not One
of Slayers Prosecuted
By Carranza.

Washington, July 22.-Henry P.
Fletcher, American ambassador to
Mexico, told the house rules COM
mittee today that since his appoint
ment three years ago about fifty
Americans had been killed in Mex
leo without a single prosecution
being made by the Mexican author
tiles.
Replying to questions by Chair
man Campbell, Ambas sador Fletch-
er said withdrawal of recognition
of the Carranza government by the
United States would only increase
the turmoil in the southern repub-
lie. He added that he did not
know of any revolutionary leader
capable of establishing a perman-
ent government.
More Americans There
Ambassador Fletcher said he had
not noticed any special anti-Amer-
ican feeling in Mexico, and ex-
planned that the presence of more
American citizens there than other
foreigners probably accounted for
the greater number of outrages af-
fecting Americans.

do him no harm to see one or two
people. 1t depends upon how ne

whether he goes back to bed again

The president went into confer
ence at 10 o'clock with Senator
Edge of New Jersey, and he hoped
to fill other engagements which he
was forced to defer yesterday be-
cause of an acute attack of intes-
