Calomel Tablets, Cut Short
Colds and May Prevent Flu
By Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from cx.
perience during the epidemic OF in
nuen2a, that one OF the most impor-
tant factors In the prevention Of flu
and pneumonia is to keep the liver
active so that the digestive organs
may be In perfect working order and
the system thereby enabled TO throw
Oft colds, check sore throats. and re.
sist serious complications. For this
purpose they have found that the
new, nauselless Calomel tablets
called CulOtabs, are far more effec-
tive even than the old style calomel.
which was formerly the universal IA D.
Vorite, as Calotabs do not weaken the
patient nor interfere with the appe.

Al the first sign OF a cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Gallo

MUCH GAS is WASTED
IN KITCHEN RANGE

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 23--Re-
adjustment OF gas burners, espe-
cially In cook stoves, would save a
large amount OF gas, and thereby
in a way prevent what is consid-
cred waste, in the opinion Of gov
ernment officials a. the conference
In Washington during the past
week. This is the impression gained
by Art L. walker chairman Of the
Oklahoma corporation commission,
who has just returned home. 1t
was practically the unanimous
opinion that In the case OF cook
stoves, II the gas burners were
raised to come in closer contact
with tho cooking vessels that from
so to 70 per cent OF the gas so used
could be turned lower, This. OF
course, would necessitate readJust-
ment OF the burners. In the case
Of heating stoves, no such solution
could be offered, and possibly there
is nothing that can be done with
this class OF gas burners,
That something must and Will he
done in the conservation OF gas, reg
sultlng from the conference, Mr..
walker believes certain. There is
no longer any question that more
strict system OF gas conservation
must be employed, was the unanl-
nous sentiment -- From Tulsa
Tribune, January 22. 1920.

tomary to have the field day on
Saturday, and the inspection by the
Captain on Sunday. But times
have changed in the Navy ss they
have in civil life, and just as sure
as the United States Navy ranks
among the greatest and most efficient
In the world and just as certain as
1t is the untiring aim of not only
the Navy but the peoples of this
great nation as well to have a New
second to none on the face OF the
earth. so our bluejackets who hav,
ever stood by their guns in the face
of the most trying duty endeavor to
