1. MARION POSTMASTER l
 SENDS RESIGNATION
Howze To Be Identified With New
 Orleans Cotton Firm

MARION, Ala. Nov. S.-(Spe pecia1. J. Harry Clayton Howze, postmaster, has sent his resignation to the post office department to take effect No- vember 15. Mr. ,Hcwze was appointed post master at Marion in February. 1916, by President Wilson, and was reappointed by him in 1920. His term of appointment would have expired next February. During the time MT. Howze has been post master he has served the public most efficiently. The office has been placed on the list of second class offices since he was ap pointed and on every inspection of the office he has been Ncomplfmented on the way it was conducted. He has become a member of cotton firm in New Orleans and with his family will move to that city in a short time to make it their home. James o. Sturdivant is assistant post master and will probably have charge of the office until new post master is ap- pointed. The appointment will be made under civil service rules and will probably take place in the near future.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step In Treatment Is Calo- tabs, the Purified and Re- fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, coughs sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly &C., tive. That is why the first step in the treatment is the nauseaiess calomel tablets 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 preventing influ4 erza and colds and is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa- tient to successfully withstand an at- tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Calotabs at bed time, with swallow of water-thats all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest 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 a hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents for the large, family package: ten cents for the small, vest-pocket size.-Adv
