UNDER HER Wing
United States Now Consider
ing Mandatory for the Most
Prosecuted People in the
World"

Detroit from the peace
conference in Paris all agree that
President Wilson is considering a
United States mandatory for persecut-
ed Armenia.
The nations of the world. appalled,
at the sufferings which this heoric
people have endured since the out
break OF the war, and which they are
enduring TO an even far greater extent
today, have proposed TO the United
States that IL accept a protectOrship
Of Armenia
One OF the reasons the powers have
put the matter before President VII
son undoubtedly Is the DISTINGUISHED
generosity of charity which this coun-
try has so nobly evinced since the
world began TO suffer the natural 70
suits of war. famine and pesulence.
In Armenia, the war has worked
greater havoc than among any other
people, not excepting the Belgians and
the Poles and the Serbs, whose sui.
ferings relatively are not To be CON-
pared.
In contrast with the Turks. the Ger.
mans were gentle. The warfare car
lied on by the AustEtans and the Ger.
mans, while ruthless, lacked the ele-
msnts OF hate that were a part OF the
civil warfare prosecuted by the
Turks.
What the Turks tried 10 do, was 20
absolutely exterminate the Armenians.
That is what made the sum of the
Armenians sufferings so horrible aud

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed

People are very often much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases
like pain in the stomach and bowels,
cole and diarrhoea require prompt
treatment. and have in many cases
proven fatal before medicine could
be procured or physician sum-
moned. The right way is to keep at
hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie
and Diarahoea Remedy. No ply
stefan can prescribe a better medi-
cine for these diseases. BY having
it in the house you escape much
pain and suffering and all risk. Buy
il now; II may save life.

COLDS AND FLU
BEST TREATED
WITH CAL0TABS
The New Perfected Calomel That Is
Free From Nauseating and
Salivating Effects

Physicians or druggists will tell
you that the best thing in the world
for a cold, grippe or influenza, is Cal
toabs, the perfected calomel, that Is
free from nauseating and salivating
effects. Doctors have learned that
other laxatives are uncertain and un-
satisfactory for colds and grippe, but
that they can, count on Calotabe, the
new calomel, that has all the liver
benefits and none of the sting, to
thoroughly arouse the liver and put
the system in ideal condition to
throw off the cold and prevent infiu-
enZa.
The best time to take. Calotabs Is
at the first sign of cold. If you take
| it at the beginning you can cure q
cold over night. One Calotab on the
tongue at bed time with a swallow
of water-that's all. In the morn
ing you wake up feeling fine with
hearty appetite for breakfast. Your
cold has vanished and you may con-
graduate yourself that you have pos
sibly prevented serious complications
| for physicians tell us that neglect
| colds number their victims by the
millions.
For your protection, Calotabs arr

CAN WE DO ANYTHING FOB
THESE PESTS?

Complaints are heard all the time
of the reckless and unsanitary way in
which some people who are supposed
to be possessed of ordinary intelli-
gence violate all the known rules Of
decency and good health by expector-
ating in public places. THE NEWS
has endeavored in every way posi-
BILE to wake the community up to
sense of ever-present danger which
turks in this careless habit. We have
received the following communica-
ton, to which we gladly give space,
because of it's timeliness and the re-
buke it contains:
Paris, KY, Feb. II, 1919.
ED THE NEWS:
II desire to voice my protest
against the very disgusting and very
unsanitary habit of people who ex-
pectorate on the floors of street cars,
restaurants and other public places.
In the case of the street car, no
doubt the conductor observes this,
but it seems that he does not take
any interest in UNFOLDING the law, or
else has his own troubles on his
mind. However, we have law on
the ordinance books of the city pro-
lhibiting splitting on the sidewalks
and an official order from the City
Board of Health prohibiting splitting
| in theatres and public places, but
absolutely no attention is paid to
either. There is no doubt in the
world that these orders are violated
in this city every day.
"The worst part of the whole mat
ter is that men (should 1 say men?)
who have the appearance of having
ordinary horse sense are the guilty
ones. We should have more strin-
gent method of attending to these
fellows who so fiagrantly violate the
law. Even to say nothing of the un-
lsanitary side of the question, the vul-
lgarity of it is by no means to be over
Hooked.
Charles Dickens, in touring the
limited States, criticized the Amer1
lean people very severely in regard
Ito their promiscuous splitting. Surel!
lif this writer brought the matter tt
lour attention many, many years ago
lit seems to me that we should know
lbetter by this time. 1 would like II
, see the day when any person fount
| guilty Of splitting on the floor OF
tstreet car, any public conveyance, OF
lon the floors of any public plac
could be found breaking rock for tn
city or the county for about th1rt
, days. It seems no moral suas1o
+ will affect them because Of their ut
tier Indifference and selfishness."
