Sandusky, O.-Ed. Lampe. fisher

ark to his children one night several
months ago. when it occurred to him
that were the craft of Noah's time res

toll that storms take annually In the
Great Lakes section.
Lampe is gillnetter Of many years
experience, and in the picture OF
Noah's ark that embellished the story
he was reading, he recognized wonder
full possibilities. The storms of the
Great Lakes section rage furiously IN
spring, following the opening OF the
navigation season. and again In fall,
Just before the season closes. Many
men lose their lives and much vaiu'
able property is destroyed.
The gillnetters as those fishermen
who fish with gill nets are known,
are oftener the victims than are the
members of any other body OF men
engaged in fishing; their work is more
hazardous. When disaster comes it is
usually the gillnetters' boat, or tug,
that Is destroyed.
A Real Success.
Lampe designed boat on the plan
of Noah's ark. With the aid Of sew
eral fishermen friends he brought his
design to naturalization. He tried the
craft out and it met every expectation.
It ploughed the most vicious pillows
going out and returning when other
boats had to be kept in port.

GET READY
FOR FLU"
Keep Your Liver Active, Your
System Purified and Free From
Colds by Taking Calotabs,
the Nausealess Calomel
Tablets, that are De-
lightfu1, Safe and
Sure.

Physicians and Druggists are advis-
ing their friends to keep their systems
purified and their organs in perfect
working order as a protection against
the return Of influenza. They know
that a clogged up system and a lazy
liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short a cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow of
water-that s all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only in aoriginal
sealed packages, price thirty-ive cents.
Every druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not perfectly
delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.)
