Calomel Tablets That Are
Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ,
enza can be depended upon for full
effectiveness until the liver IL MADE
thoroughly active. That Is why the
first step In the treatment Is the new
nausealess calomel tablet called Calo-
tabs, which are free from the sick
eninR and weakening effects OF the
old style calsmei. Doctors also point
out the fact that an active liver may
go a long way toward preventing
Influenza and is one OF the most inn
portant factors in enabling the pa
tient to successfully withstand an at
tack and ward off pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with 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

OF the suicide of Frank J. Fitzpatrick,

today by Col. O. u. Forrer, executive
assistant to the chief of the narcotic
division.
Fitzpatrick. one of the leaders of
the raid, shot himself twice through
the heart shortly after the raiders
had fought a battle i'll which five
men were wounded, and had seized
drugs and whiskey valued variously
at from 100000 to S1,000,0O0.
His associates could explain the
suicide only ny saying that Fitzpatrick
had been in ill health for some time
and that he might have become tenn
porarily deranged by excitement in
duced by the thrilling encounter with
members of the, King AleXander's
crew.

entire crew of more than 800 was ar
