FP ANK r. ADAMS
SAYS NEW YORK
PRICES AT TOP

According to Frank R. Adams in
the current number of Cosmopolitan,
if you stop at one of the big hotels
in New York and a desire for an or
der of Guinea chicken overcomes you,
it will cost you exactly 81 for small
portion of this deIectable bird.
"Other things in New York are in
proportion says Frank r. Adams,
who recently made a trip to the big
city and was so astounded at the
spending possibilities of the town that
he wrote this very Interesting story
about it. Think of paying $4,000
for a coat for your wife! Imagine
buying hosiery at s125 a pair!
Picture to yourself the possibility
OF spending an evening with your wife
at the Midnight Frolic and being
shorn of $50 for the pleasure!
teThese are the conditions existing
in New York today" says this famous
author, and those who have recently
come to the city with a bank roll as
big around as an old fashioned sugar
! town with the old B. R. Whitfield
! down to the size of a 1ady's lead PEN
| ell, will agree with Frank.
| It is not often that a writer of f1c-
ton steps down to telling us truths
| that are stranger than fiction, but Mr.
Adams has done it, and you will gel

AIR R0UTE TO
Do AWAY WITH
OVERLAND HAUL

London, May 15-Establishment Of
so aerial route from the Pacific to the
Amazon as a means of surmounting
difficulties of road travel among the
Andes, is advocated by G. NJ. Dyott,
until recently a squadron commander
of the British Royal Naval Air Ser
vice
There is no serious difficulty in
the way, so far as the schemes prac-
ticability is concerned" Mr.. Dyott
told the Royal Geographical Society.
I'VE have heard of the great height
of the Andes, but there are low alti-
tudes at which they may, be crossed
One of the Andes ridges can be nego-
tiated at a height of 1000 feet, but
there is another rising to 15.600 feet.
Peru" he continued, sis peculiarly
suitable for aerial traffic. Aerial
highways will undoubtedly play a
large part in the future development
of THAT country. It Is of Importance
that rapid communication should be
established between the interior and
the coast, and in order to do this
the airplane must come to the rescue -
Discussing the difficulty of travell-
ing by road, Mr. Dyott said that it
| took him five days to travel from one
| part in the Andes to another, where
| as the airp1ane would cover the dis
| lance in Is minutes, and in another
stage of the journey 1t took him ex-
| actly a week to travel a distance
| which would be negotiated by the air,

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-

effectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active, That is why the
first step in the treatment is the
new, nausealess calomel tablet called
Calotabs, which are free from the
sickening and weakening effects of
the old style calomel. Doctors also
point out the fact that an active liver
may go a long way towards prevent
ing influenza and is one of the most
important factors in enabling the
patient to successfully withstand an at
tack and ward off pneumonia.
