IJAMS, OF JACKSON,
/, TO COME TO NORMAL

JACKSON, Tenn, Nov. 10. (Spl.)-
frof. c. B. Iiams, superintendent Of the
jackson city schools, has been offered
the position Of dean of the West Ten
nessee Normal institute at Memphis, To
succeed Prof. r. b, Loggins, who has
been granted a leave of absence of one
year on account OF his health. Prof.
Llams is considering the offer very Sc
riously, but he has not yet determined
upon leaving Jackson. While the Diff
ference in salary ia attractive. aAwell
as the fact that Prof. ljams has been
assured that his position In the Mem
phis institution will be permanent, vet
he states that II will be with reluc-
lance that he leaves this city, and es-
pecially at this time, when he feels
That his services in the Jackson schools
are needed more than ever. He Is CON
eidering the matter and will render a
decision within the next few days.
Prof. Ijams has been identified with
Jackson schools for IS years, and has
them. He has been engaged In school
work for "a years and has the unpar-
alleled record of having taught in but
TWO places-Henderson and Jackson. He
Is a native Of Corinth, Miss,
He Is a member of the state boar I'd
OF education, and also serves on the
federal vocational board for the state
and the board OF examiners for certifi-
eating and licensing teachers. Should
Prof. Ijams accept the Normal dean
chip he would cease to be a member of
this, board. His term on the state
board expires May, 1923. He holds an
AN. degree. is chairman of the 'Madi-
son county road commission. is an Elk,
Mason, director in the association OF
commerce and Y. M. C, A. here, and
has been interested in various welfare
movements. particularly that affecting
law and order.
The Jackson city schools have grown
rapidly under his management. THE
largest enrolment in the history of the
schools was had last year and the larg-
est graduating class on record secured
diplomas. The total enrolment this
year bids fair to exceed that of 19l7-lS.
The state board has given Superin
tendent Uams plenty OF time to consider
the proposition, but they are insistent
that he accept the position. His cleo
ton to the place. was unanimous. II
is felt here by close friends that Prof.
Ijams will accept.
Prof. Loggins had Just arrived at
Dawson Springs, KY, last summer,
when he suffered q partial stroke of
paralysis. He has improved greatly and
his friends hope for entire recovery
during his years leave.

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 experience
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,
n~ausealeSs calomel tablet called Gallo
tabs, and which are free from the sick
entng and weakening effects of the
old-style calomel. Doctors also point out
the fact that an active liver may go
a long way toward preventing influ-
enza and is n 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's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas

has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Caiotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money viii be cheer
