DOCTORS FIND
 REMEDY FOR
 COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausea less Calomel, Cuts Short Colds and Prevents Flu by Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from expe- rience, during the epidemic of influenza, that one of the most important factors in the prevention of flu and pneumonia is to keep the liver active so that the digestive organs may be in perIect working order and the system therepy enabled to throw off colds. check sore throats. and resist serious complica, tions For this purpose they have found that the new, nausealess calomel, called Calotabs, is far more effective. even than the old style calomel. which was formerly the universal favorite. as Calo- tabs do not weaken nor sal1vate the pa tient, nor interfere with the appetite and digestion.
 At the first sign of a cold or sore throat doctors recommend one Calotab at bed time with a swallow of water that's all. No salts, no nausea. nor the slightest interference with your diet. pleasure or work. Next morning you wake up feeling fine, your liver is active, and your appetite is keen for a good breakfast. For your protection Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty five cents. All druggists recommend and guarantee Calotabs. Remember, your, money back if you are not glad you bought Calo- tabs.

KEEP BUSINESS ON HUM, IS APPEAL 0F
 SECRETARY WILSON
Labor Organizations in Bet ter Shape to Resist Reduc- tiOns Than Ever
 Before
By Associated Press

Washington, February 24.-In an ap- peal to the country ito get business go- ing and keep it going" Secretary Will son issued a signed statement tonight declaring that labor organizations were in better position to resist reductions in wages than they have been before, and asserting that it would be short sighted for any business man to run the chance of destroying his industry for the opportunity of a brief period of lower wages and cheaper material.
 Generalization of the military forces and return to a normal industrial basis would be easy. Mir. Wilson said. if every business man were filled with the idea that he should get his estab- lishment running on as large and eff fective basis as it was prior to the war. but he added:
 There are many employers who feel that it is not wise to do that from a financial standpoint, that the war cost of labor is out of the question and that the thing to do is to wait until the prices of material and labor go down My vision of the situation is that there will be not more than four to six months at most of interim between the signing of the armistice and our get ting into the regular postwar swing
 Calling attention to the fact that wage earners have laid by reserves from their high war pay in the form of Liberty Bonds and other securities, Mir. Wilson said:
 The workers are in a position to re- sist. I fear that if any attempt be made to force down the wages of the work CTS to any considera ble extent there

 Lesson
By Associated Press

Warsaw, February 24.--"We must fight the treacherous Poles to the last soldier" This is thes dictum Leon Trotzky Russian bolshevik minister of war, sent from the Perm front to the Smolensk Minsk headquarters, whence the troops have been ordered to advance on Baranovichi. Trotzky is anxious to give the Poles what he terms "a les son." as he especially hates Pade- rewski.
 It is just revealed that prior to Paderewski's becoming premier the members of the Polish legation in Mos COW were arrested and some shot. When the Warsaw government protested the Moscow government replied:
 we are surprised We thought we were doing you a favor by locking up your bourgeois representatives,
 Trotzky has assumed an exalted mili- >tary attitude, assembling about him commissaries whom he treats as mar shals. He holds frequent reviews sometimes riding on horseback wear ing a high sheep skin cap and calling out to the men:

"Everywoman"-Jefferson

One of the remarkable things about the magnificent spectacle "Everywoman' which Henry w. Savage will offer at the Jefferson theatre tonight at S:15 and Wednesday matinee and night, is that each individual character is a study and is tribute to the deep insight into hu- man nature that enabled Walter Browne to write the play.
 Henry w. Savage has scored his great est triumph in the presentation or "Everywoman." For in the maze ana mesh of trashy theme and tinselled trumpery so common to the drama of today, "Everywoman'' stands out as an epoch of truth and sincerity. ,Conceivec and written on plane infinitely higher than the average play of the present age Mr. Savage has spared no expense, over looked no artifice, and let escape no taicnt that would serve to make the presenta- ton worthy of the subject.
 'Everywoman'' is a great artistss con I. ception of the chief aim in the life or composite womanhood-the quest of love.
