DOCTORS FIND

 COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausealess Calomel Tablets, Cut Short Colds and May Prevent Flu
 By Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from experience during the epidemic of influenza, that one of the most important factors in the preven- tion 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 off colds, check sore throats. and resist serious ,omplica- tions. For this purpose they have found that the new, nausealess calomel tablets called Calotabs. are far more effective even than the old style calomel, swhicn was fcl- merly the universal favorite, as Ca!otats do not weaken the patient. nor interfere with the appetite and digestion.
 At the first sign of cold O. sore tircst, doctors recommend one Calotab at led time with swallow of water-that's all No salts. no nausea, nor the slightest interlerer4ce with your diet. pleasure worx.

Do These Things and Your System Will Be Strong Enough to Resist the In- fluenza Germs.

The great risk of contracting influ- enza is in not keeping the system in the proper condition to resist the Flu germs.
 The beginning, when the Flu" germs get in their deadly work, is when the liver becomes inactive and one gets bilious or ~constipated. Calomel, or other ordinary laxatives, are good enough to cleanse the liver but do not go far enough. What affects the liver also affects the kidneys and blood, and to put the entire system back to its normal resistive powers, you must treat the kidneys and blood as we'll as the liver.

WELL BALANCED BILL
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU

As well as being tho spice of life, variety is an essential feature of vaude- ville programme to make it thoroughly enjoyable, and variety is the keynote on the bill at Loew's Bijou for the first of the week, for every number is different, as well as being clever and entertaining. It is one of the best balanced bills of the season.
 First homefs go to the clever comedy playlet, Mine O'Clock" presented by d very capable company of six persons. The setting is an old-fashioned country school room. and decided surprise is given the audience when the scholars troop in and take their seats. The comedy is clean and wholesome and a trio of harmony singers adj much to the enjoyment of the act.
 The female of the species is certainly there with the pep in the offering of Kaufman and Lillian, a clever comedy couple, who entertain with songs, bright chatter and dances. They made big hit.
 Essaying to entertain the audience by her "lonesome as she tells in her open ing number Buhla Pearl made good her promise. There is much originality in her song numbers, which she sings well, and she has bright line of chatter which she puts over in excellent style.
 The character dance revue by Beth Stone, which opens the bill, is class all the way through She dances with rare grace and Cisplays remarkable agility in her several offerings. The toe dance is simply wonderful Fred and Lydia Weaver, in an aerial novelty, close the splendid bill
 "Shod With Fire" an intensely dra- matic photoplay, featuring William Rus sell is the picture ftature. The story is based on the absorbing love of strong man for a woman who is sorely in need of comfort and protection. Russell DOT trays superbly the character of a man of the plains, who faces danger and death for the woman he loves.

 Judging from the amount of ap- plause received oscar I.1EAine, billed as the Violin Nuttist," receives the headline honors. He may be billed as d nut" but the way in which he plays the violin he should have the title of master" bestowed upon him. He mingles in a line of chatter that is quite original and made a decided hit with the audience.
 Another headliner is that of "The Footlight Revue" a miniature musical comedy act that is chock full of pret- ty girls, pretty costumes and pretty scenery. The audience gets peep "behind the scenes" and at the re- hearsals One of the male members of the cast is an old country opera house manager that keeps the audience in an uproar throughout the act.
 Both the opening and closing acts are much better than the usual run and were well received. Miss Shewin Kelly, singing cyclist' opens the bill with a number of very clever feats on the bicycle and songs that were very good.
 Bedford and Winchester, two of vaudevilles most famous jugglers, in nifty juggling skit "A Juggling Jamboree," close the bill with line of juggling feats that have not been surpassed in this city.
 very good musical comedy sketch is offered by Colvin and Wood, clever comedy couple" Wood, as the doctor, and Colvin as the rich patient, brought many laughs from the audience.

AMAZING, SAYS
 MILWAUKEE MAN
Never Saw Anyone Improve as Did His Wife-Tanlac
 Again Proves Merit

s'T never saw any one improve like my wife has since she started taking Tanlac Why, she has gained ten pounds Tn weight already and has such a good ap- petite she is hungry all the time, said John F. Kalish, 1235 Humbolt avenue, Milwaukee, Wis, for five years salesman for The Durbrow Commission Company while telling recently of his wife ex- perience with Tanlac.
 For the past five years, continued Mir Kalish, nothing my wife ate agreed with her. She had absolutely no appe- ltite, never having the least desire to eat a thing and would go for days with out eating enough, it seemed to me, to keep a bird alive. She is not a woman who complains but keeps her sufferngs to herself, though I could see from her locks that she was very sick woman, as she had lost weight and appeared to be badly run down
 well sir, I got her started taking Tanlac, and it was simply amazing to me to see what a splendid appetite she de- veloped and how everything she ate agreed with her She looks much better and is so much brighter and cheerful and takes so much more interest in life that she hardly seems like the same woman she was before. After seeing what Tan lac has done for my wife I do not hesi- tate one minute in recommending it to others"
 Tanlac is sold in North Birmingham by Walker Drug Co.,, in Ensley by Ezell { Drug Co, and in East Lake by E. G. Churchill.
