GLEMENCEAU FACES.
SERIOUS CRITICISM

PARIS, July 2o.-The Clemenceau
government faces its most serious
criticism since. the armistice as the
result Of the vote against the policies
Of Food Minister Boret in the Cham
Der Of Deputies. it was conceded in
political circles last night.
Ancient enemies of Premier Glenn
enceau are working hand in hand
with politicians who until recently
were his supporters in an effort to
bring about his downfall. The
Tiger" today faces the situation in
the same direct fashion that has
brought him through many 6 battle
and announced that he will appear in
the chamber on Tuesday to defend
policies.N It is believed he will at the
same time throw down the gauntlet
to his opponents and demand a vote
Of confidence.
II is held by some OF the members
Of the chamber that Premier Clemen-
ceau was induced by other members
Of the peace conference to make con-
cessions at the expense OF France
and failed to get results which would
tide her over her financial and eco
nomic crisis.
In other words this means accord
ing to certain DEPUTIES, that Presi-
dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George should be prevailed upon to
bind themselves by formal agree
ments to pool their warships, raw
materials. and fOodstuffs with France
on reasonable terms.

A most unhappy man lis E. H.
Hobbs, auditor of the erstwhile
Committee on Public Information,
who is holding the sack" as the
sole survivor of George Creel's
wartime publicity organization,
and is wondering and worrying
about how he is going to get out
from under more than 500, 900 in
bills, as he is under heavy bond,
and Congress has failed to come
to his relief. .-
When Mr.. CreeIs force was "de-
modified" bills and vouchers be-
gan to pour into the office of the
unhappy Hobbs. Expense ac-
counts Of the Creel agents in
China, Japan, Russia, and other
remote parts of the world were
the last to arrive, but they are
now here in great bulk, and
vouchers covering thousands of
dollars are understood not to be
in such. form as will, conform with
the discriminating ideas OF. the
Treasury sharks.
Hence the unhappiness of Hobbs.
But Mr.. Creel called at the White
House today to urge President
Wilson to use his friendly offices,
or anything else that may be eff
.fective, in untangling the audi
tor from the snarl in which he
has been left.
Mr.. Creel said that his COM
mittee had turned more than
S3,OOO.OOO into the Treasury as
earnings, and that in all justice
to the unhappy Hobbs, there
should be some action by Con-
gress relieving him of his fnan-
cial responsibility.

AVOID THE FLU
BY KEEPING
LIVER ACTIVE
Doctors Find Calotabs, the
New Nausealess Calomel,
Best Laxative for Colds
and Preventive for Influ-
enza and Pneumonia.

To cut short a cold over night,
to stop sore throat, and to put
the system in the best possible
condition to avoid influenza and
pneumonia, doctors are advising
the new nausealess calomel, call
ed Calotabs, which are free from
the sickening and salivating eff
fects of the old style calomel.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat, it is best to take a Gallo
tab at once, before the inllam-
nation has gone too far. You
may thus save yourself a spell Of
sickness.
One Calotab at bed time with
a swallow of water-that's all.
No salts, no nausea, nor the
slightest interference with eat
ing, work or pleasure. Next
morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system
is purified and refreshed and you
are feeling fine with a hearty APP
petite for breakfast. Perhaps
you can congratulate yourself
that a stitch in time" has saw
ed you serious illness. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed
packages, price thirty-fve cents,
Your druggist recommends and
guarantees Calotabs and will
cheerfully give back your money
if you are not delighted. - (adv)
