DOCTORS USE
CALOTABS FOR
COLDS AND FLU
Influenza and Grippe, Like Ordi-
nary Colds, Require CalOtabs,
the Purified and Refined Cal
omel Tablets That Are :
Nausealess, Safe
and Sure.

Physicians and druggists claim that
the great epidemic of influenza has
conclusively demonstrated that the
quickest relief for cold and the best
preventive of influenza and pneu-
monia is to keep the liver active so
that the digestive organs may be in
perfected condition. For this purpose
Calotabs, the new nausealess calomel
tablets that are free from the sicken-
ing and weakening effects, is the most
thorough and dependable, as well as
the most agreeable laxative.
Calotabs have the special advantage
of not making the patient sick and
weak, as they do not upset the diges-
ton and appetite. One Calotab at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea, nor the
slightest interference with your eating,
pleasure, or work. Next morning your
cold has vanished. your liver is active,
your system is purified, and you are
feeling fine with a hearty appetite for
breakfast.
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages
price thirty-five cents. Sold by all
dru ggists and your money back if you
are not delighted with them.-Adv.

Have Curly, Wavy Hair
Like "Nature's Own"

Women who have trouble keeping their
hair in curl, or of securing the desired
wayy effect-and especially those who re-
alize the harm that the hot iron does
to the hair-will do well to try the new
silmerine method. In no other way can
they acquire such pretty waves and curls,
having all the appearance of Natures
own" And the hair. instead Of being
a lively lustre and wholesome beauty.
The curliness is more quickly acquired
than when a waving iron is used. and 1t
last considerably longer. When the hair
Is combed out 1t is nice and fluffy. The
hair will be quite manageable, no matter
in what fashion it is done up.
II one will get a bottle of plain liquid
silmerine at any drug store and follow
the accompanying directions, she will be
simply delighted with the result. This
product is of course perfectly harmless
and there is nothing sticky. greasy or
unpleasant about it. 1t ssa1so priced as
a splendid dressing for the hair. AS SO
small a quantity is required at a time, a
few ounces will last for months-Adv.

Moye-E1nal Decision Tuesday.

start toward organizing a $4,000
revolving building association to solve
the housing problem in North Topeka

OF taxpayers and business men of the
North side. Final decision will be
made next Tuesday.

that were lacking, now the difficulty

Morns &savors Plan.
F. o. Morns spoke in favor of the
revolving investment plan as outlined
last week by Charles Stewart, secre-
tary of the Civic club, and thought a
$4,000 building association, stock to
be taken by North side taxpayers and
business men, could be organized with
little trouble
This organization, it is understood,
is not to be formed as money maker,
but to build up North Topeka, and the
improvements carried out by the as

The Way to End 1t

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is albu-
1ninous matter. The object of Pepso-
dent is to dissolve it, then to constantly
combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. 1t
must be activated, and the usual agent
is an acid harmful to the teeth. But
science has discovered harmless acti-
waiting method. Now activated pepsin
can be applied, night and morning, to
combat that film.
Leading dentists everywhere are now
advising Pepsodent. Countless people
have already adopted it. And trial
tubes are offered everywhere to show
others what it does.
Send the coupon for To-Day Tube.
Note how clean the teeth feel after
using. Mark the absence of the Shiny
film. See how the teeth whiten ss the
fixed film disappears.
Let your own mirror show you what
Pepsodent means to your teeth. Then
decide for yourself about it. Cut out
the coupon now.

a seat beside him on his donkey cart,

A To-Day Tube of Pepso-
RAA dent, to show you how to
h Il ~ end film. See below.
On Your Teeth Now

There is now on your teeth Shiny
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
1t clings to teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays.
The tooth brush alone doesn't end it.
The ordinary tooth paste does not dis
solve it. So month after month it stays
there and may do ceaseless damage.
That film is what discolors NOT the
teeth. 1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They.
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Most tooth troubles are now
traced directly to that film.
Dental scientists have for years
sought way to end film. They have
known that brushing could not save
teeth if it left that film upon them.
Now that film combatant has been
found. Convincing tests, under able
authorities, have proved it beyond
question. The method is now embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And
we supply it free for testing to anyone
who asks.
