New Tablet Called "Cal-

The latest triumph of modern phar-
macy is a "de-nauseated" calomel tab
let known to the drug trade as "Calo-
tabs" Calomel, the most generally use
full of all medicines thus enters upon d
wider field of popularity,-purified and

use.
In biliousness, constipation and indi-
g~estion, and in a great variety of liver,
stomach and kidney troubles calomel
was the most successful remedy but its
use was often neglected on account of
its sickening qualities. Now it is the
easiest and most pleasant Of medicines

MistOOk Whale For Hun In
Long Chase III atlantic

sometimes as far as five miles when
the submarine Is submerged,
One night while resting barely under
the surface, the trained ear OF the
man at tho telephone switchboard heard
the sound under water Of what seemed
a propeller.
SO trained are the ears of tho under
sea men that they can distinguish be-
tween the sound Of the propeller OF
different types of ships and can APP
proXimate not only the distance be
tween them and the other vessel hut
can gain n general idea of the course

All speed forward was ordered and
tho chase was on. The whirring In

as the erratic course of the intended
prey of the Americans grew warmer.
Her coming tower barely above the
surface the Americans sped at top pace.
Men stoop at the torpedo tubes ready
to hurl 500 pounds Of INT through
the waves at the pirate OF the sea.
Suddenly the buzz Of the m%icrophone
stopped. Could It be that the enemy
had chosen to heavo to and give battle
on the surface or had he Owed to the
bottom TO lie there until danger Of pur-
suit had passed?
These questions were answered by the
amazing sight of the large spouting Of
a column Of water some hundreds Of
yards away Speed was again increased
and the lookout just had time to sec
the body OF an immense whale flop
over at the surface, spout again and
disappear from view.
Commander Hawks tells another story
Of how a whale fell in love with an
American submarine thinking it was
another whale of the opposite sex. He
relates how tho male whale made eyes
at his fancled mate and how the sub
very nearly came TO grief when the
monster playfully carcssed the~hoat
with a flap Of the tail.
When arched eyebrows greeted this
story, particulars Of which his hearers
did not further ask, Commander Hawks,
with a twinkle said; "Well, it's a whale
Of a story anyhow, itsn't IT,"
