HOW DOCTORS
 TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and ---,o1es1ed Calomel Tablets tli.2t are Nausea
 less, S@fe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and infu- enza can be depended upon for full ef- fectiveness until the liver is made thor oughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausea less colonel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calo- mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en- abling the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu- monia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with q swallow of water-that's 8 all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleas ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with hearty appetite for break fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in original sealed packages, price thirty five cents. Your money will be cheer fully refunded if you do not find them elightful.-( (Adv.)

50 MILLION FOR
 GOTHAM DOCKS
New York Plans Gigantic lm- pr0vement on the Hudson
 River Water Front
TAKE TEN YEARS TO BUILD
New System Is to Consist of Wide Piers, Slips and Marginal Streets, With Warehouses and Tracks
 Where Available in Rear.

New York.-The greatest water front improvement here in 90 years, involving the removal of 32 antlquated piers along the Hudson river and the erection in their stead of IS new and vastly larger piers of latest design has been planned by Murray Hubert, commissioner of docks, and approved by the sinking fund commission.
 The improvement will cost $50000,- 900, and will require ten years to com plete. Work is expected to be started next spring.
 This, with the proposed vehicular tunnel to New Jersey, is expected to solve New Yorks West side dock prob lem The new water front system is to consist of wide piers, slips and marginal streets, with warehouses and tracks where available in the rear. Will Pay Out In Four Years. ''The cost of construction is expect ed to pay for itself within four years time" said Deputy Dock Commission CT Michael Cosgrove. "A permanent sea wall has been built along the en- tire stretch, no rock will be eneoun- tered to a depth of 40 feet, and most of the real estate is owned by the city.
 "These new piers will increase the pier-storage area 30 per cent if they are made only one story" continued Mir. COsgrove. "But because of the high value of this water front it will be uneconomical to stop even at two stories. They will have the most mod ern appliances for rapid handling of freight, including electric cranes. helpers and hoists of all kinds. 'The present lower North river wa ter fsront is just what it was in 1871. Its slips are so narrow there is not room in them at once for two biz steamships. To afford relief the war department has three times permitted tbe pier headlines to extend further outshore The more these narrow piers were brought out, the worse the slips became, because boats have been continually growing bigger.n

men, means that New York is going to have IS piers from 950 to 1925 feet in length, in place of the 35 dilapi- dated structures which are a disgrace to the city. Between each pier there will be maximum dockage space of 300 feet and a minimum of 275 feet. Two of the new piers will be 100 feet wide, seven 150 feet and nine 125 feet"
 Along New York's water front the dock commission already has under way other projects under contract amounting to $20,00O,OO0.

BATHLESS BATH HOUSE
traain!ss taaiin!s Has Biggest and Oldest
 Turkish Bath in Serbia.
Yet the People of the Town Are Now Learning Art of Bathing From
 Red Cross.

Vrajne, Serbia.-There was a time
 m Vrajne when the people included
 whatever the Serbian word for bath
 may be in their everyday vocabularies
 and not infrequently suited the action
 to the word, but that was hundreds of
 years ago. Today it is with difficulty
 that the envoys of the American Red
 Cross at Vrajne are teaching the peo-
 pie the practical meaning of the word.
 And yet, of all the towns In Serbia,
 Vrajne is the one which should be most familiar with baths and bathing, for 1t Is the home of the biggest and oldest Turkish bath establishment in the country. The ancient baths were built In the sixteenth century by the country. They are housed in an an- cient stone structure with a red tile roof
 The water, in the days when the baths were operating, flowed into huge vats above primitive underground stream, now released, still bubbles through the vaulted cellars of the an- cient establishment The steam from the vats was led to the hot rooms above through channels cut in the solid rock walls of the building, for in the ! days when the Vrajne baths were con there was no such thing as an Iron or lead pipe in all of Serbia.
 Today the yrajne baths are desert ed. Bathing Is a ritual 'of which the city's population has known nothing Tor generations. The youth of the town are learning the art from the | Red Cross workers feeding and caring for the children of the poor. but the elders still look on the regular ablu- lion of the body as a troublesome su- Derfiuity, and the ancient baths of vrajhe may crumbie into ruins ere the steam vats boil and bub- ole again.
