HOW DOCTORS

First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Caletabs, the

Nausealess, Safe
and Sure


Doctors have found by experience
that 10 medicine for colds and infiu-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active That is why the
first step in the treatment is the new,
nausealess calomel tablet called Gallo

tabs. and which are free from the sick
STYLE calomel Doctors also point
out the fact that an active liver may
go a long way towards preventing in
fuenza and is one of the most import
ant factors in enabling the patient to
successfully 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,
pleasure or work. Next morning your
cold has vanished. your liver is ac-
tive. your system is purified. and you
are feeling fine, with hearty appe-
title for breakfast. Druggists sell Gallo
tabs enly~in original sealed packages,
price thirty-fve cents. Your money
will be cherfully refunded if you do
not find them delightful.-(Adv)

BOY SCOUT AND CAMP
FIRE GIRL ACTIVITIES

Last Thursday evening the people OF
LadySmith were very agreeably sur
prised by. the wholesale entertainment
put on at the highschoOl gymnasium by
the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts
The entertainment was known as THE
Old Fotygraph Album" in which liv-
ing pictures appear in costumes of the
far by-gone days. Lainys Simon in the
costume of little girl Of 80 years ago,
presented the pictures TO the audience.
Each picture in itself was a miniature
vaudeville And since there were 80
in all, the audience had one full hour
and a half of continuous laughter. The
Camp Fire No. also sold candies and
peanuts.
There are now approximately eighty
Ladysmith boys and girls in the mem
bership of the Camp Fire and Boy

Saturday morning, when the two camps
propose to walk to Tony, and on the

LOCAL CONTRACTOR
TAKING VACATION

George Savord is taking little vaca-
ton, after long winter in the woods,
and getting acquainted with his fam
lily. George is logger and contractor
and manages to keep busy most of the
time. Last month he concluded a busy
winter logging for the IFountain-C Camp
bell company. putting four million feet
on the ro!lways.
He employed an average of ninety
men. the number sometimes running
up TO 125 men. while he had accOmmO-
(ations for $50 workers 1t was i'm
possible 10 keep the maximum number
he could use Notwithstanding the wages
ranged from &tij 10 500 a month, owing
to so much competition in the field of
labor.
A long vacation becomes rather irk
some to Mr.. SavOrd and he is anxious
TO get started on road construction
which is his work i'll summer time
Last summer his work was in Price
county He still has six heavy teams
of horses in camp quarters in the woods
and he wants to get them busy, as
horse feed is high these days. He con-
sidered the matter Of building q large
barn in Ladysmith this spring for his
stock. but the high price of building
materials has deferred action for the

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
CLOSES LYCEUM COURSE

The Dunbar Male Quartette gave a
splendid entertainment at the gymna-
Sium Monday evening, closing the cur
rent lyceum course. The mixed pro
gram was one of the best-pr0bably
the best-ever given here by a com
pany of billringers, one reason for this
being that the company did not play
TOO many selections on the bells. The
bells are all right as Il novelty and the
Dunbar Quartette are certainly artists
with them and got as much music ont
of them as it is possible to get, but
when that is said there is no more to
say. The numbers most enthusiastic
lily enc0rod. and. by the way, every
received hearty applause, were
the solo and quartette numbers given
without the bells.
It is gratifying that the series of ele-
Vating entertainments presented for the
enjoyment Of the people of Ladysmith
by the lyceum course committee this
year has been given the most liberal
support, making the year the most sue
cesSful in the history of lyceum courses
in this city This insures another splen-
did course next season.

BOY IS KILLED
BY AUTOMOBILE
Jumps From Wagon and Runs
In Front of Car.--Head
Crushed

Loren Davis, -year-Old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Davis, residing just
back of the Methodist church, was run
over and instantly killed by d heavy
automobile driven by w. A. Carroll at
6 200 O'Clock last evening.
The boy was riding east on WOrden-
ay on wagon attached to an auto, and
at East Third-st he jumped off to go to
his home He did not see the car com
ing from the east and stepped directly
in front of it.
The Davis family moved here from
Viola a few days ago. Mr.. Davis is
employed by Nate Hand. The dead
COY is one of six children.
1t seems that no blame attaches to
Mr.. Carroll. He stopped his car with
in its length, jumped out and picked
up the boy and laid him on the grass
and rushed across the street to phone
and called DR.. Landmark and then
started to get the doctor himself At

WIS. FIRM FIRST IN FIELD
WITH NEW GARMENT

j. A. Jansen, of Green Bay, created
a little stir Sunday when he appeared
on our streets clad in lightweight over
alls made by the Mcintyre Burial Co..
of Green Bay, the firm he represents
and who make these garments for bus
mess men. They have lightweight
khaki or blue suits made on the Palm
Beach style and they are a nifty suit
for a man doing light work The idea
that the overall fad would raise the
price of Oyeralls to the man who had to
wear them has been general This
cloth is not what regular
oyerallS are made of. SO wearing them
makes little difference in the price.
W. NJ. Vaughan expects stock of
them in this week.

IMPROVING ROAD
MUST Be DELAYED
City Council Feels 1t Cannot
Lawfully Accede to Request
of Paper Co.

The proposed Improvement of the
road which extends through the
MenaSha Wooden Ware Co.'S mill-yard
from near the east end of WOrden-av
has been Indefinitely postponed on the
part Of the city council by that body
the aboye-named company giving the
city only partial authority over the
said road. which, according to the terms
of the lease, is TO remain largely under
control Of the company.
The council considered that it had no
right to eXpend public money on this
road under the terms provided in the
lease.
The proposed improvement was
asked for by the Menasha Paper Co.,
whose men and vehicles use the road
in reaching the paper and pulp mills
They are heavy taxpayers and believe
they are entitled to a better road to
the mill.
While the council is in full sympa-
thy with the company's desire for bet
tTI CUilUlllOIlS, IL lclI llltlC II NOuIu liot
legally accede to the proposition as eX-
pressed in the lease of the Wooden
Ware company, who owns the land over
which the paper company has only an
easement
The proposed Improvement was to
have extended only from the yard gate
TO the fire pump house. The lease pro-
vided that. among other conditions the
Wooden Ware had the right to close
tho gates at night.
