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 nausealess 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 influ- cnza 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-that's 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 hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price lthirty-five cents for the large, family package: ten cents for the small, vest-pocket size.-Adv.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DIR, LILLIAN WHITNEY

Betty K.--I am glad you are re- storing your hair to it's natural color. Of all shades auburn is the most beautiful. You can hasten the pro- oils, and as 1t is falling out and your scalp is also full of dandruff, the l following tonic treatment may be just what it requires: Carbolic acid dram; salicylic acid, 8 drams; castor oil. 3 ounces; alcohol. 6 ounces. Rub into the scalp for 10 minutes at bedtime.
 The yolks of eggs make an ex- cellent shampoo, also tincture of ficial in conditions of the scalp re- quiring stimulation, such as in your case. Since you do not like bobbed hair, I certainly would not resort to it, but it might be a good plan to have top piece made the exact shade Of the natural color and wear it until your hair grows out long enough to permit you to cut off the bleachcd ends and to dress the re- mSinder. You can then have a per manel wave. and with the aid Of a net, dress and wear your hair very becomihgiy.
 V. P. s. Flo overcome excessive precipitation of the hands and feet you must tone up your nervous sys-
 
 sluggish action of the little nerves that control the sweat glands. Moth ing Is so quickly remedial as cold salt water rubdowns every morning on arising. Prepare the night before gallon of cold water to which has been added a cupful of salt. Use bath mitts and coarse towels. Rub your body from head to foot, plunge your hands and feet in the cold salt water. Dry briskly and vigorously until your body Is In a glow. It's wonderful treatment and so simple. In addition to the above bathe the palms of your hands several times daily with cologne, two ounces; tincture of bella . donna, quarter ounce. Perspiring feet require more care. Change shoes and hose daily and always dust your feet Iliberally with the following powder after your t-bath--cerate of zinc, 1 dram; English bismuth, drams beta-napthol, 10 grains.
 A. Z.-From what little you state think the morning "retching" is probably of nervous origin and that is why you have found nothing to help you. In the first place make up your mind to overcome the habit determine on this and you will have gone half way toward cure. Then as soon as you feel spell" coming on drink little cold water and press | stomach; hold them there with for cible pressure as long as possible. This will relieve the spasm and if not entirely abort an attack at least cut it short.
 It would do you a great deal of good to scrub your body, especially up and down the spine and entirely around the waist, with cold salt water every morning on arising, then go to an open window and practice deep forced breathing. If you were to carry out these hygienic measures your mind would be taken off tho other matter and you would soon find It thing of the past.

BY ENGLISH UNIONS

Result of One Court Decision.

Trades unions in England at first
were generally frowned upon. AS early
as 1906 a law was passed in England
defining certain trades union efforts to
raise wages as an illegal conspiracy
In 1549 another law prohibited com.
binations Of craftsmen to keep up
wages or reduce hours. In 1918 the
courts sentenced certain cotton spin.
ners to prison for conspiracy to raise
wages. About the middle of the Nine.
teenth century the unions found them
selves so far outside the law that
they had no recourse against their Off.

They were held to be, If not actually
criminal, yet so far in restraint OF

Of immunity, the courts decided that
these provisions had not been properly
enacted, and In the famous Taft Vale
case, found the railroad union respon

and assessed damages against the

Unionism was shaken to its roots. BY

FIRST NEED is TO ORGANIZE
President Gompers Has Ably Pointed
Out the Necessity Of the Workers
"0etting Together"

"The constructive ability Of our
movement is called upon to the utmost
to bring the full flood of life back to
our industries under conditions Of
freedom, with the democratic ideal
dominating everywhere.
"We will not be driven back. We
will go forward. The light that has
come into the life and work Of our
people can never be shut away from
them. There must be more and more.
and more and more tomorrow than to-
day, more the next day than tomorrow,
and more for every coming tomorrow.
"The times Of today are severely
trying. They are not Of our making,
but they are for our redemption.
"We must organize for our task.
The unorganized are helpless. They
can help neither themselves nor their
fellows, Their strength, their skill,
their inspiration, are lost until they
organize.
"Our first great task is to organize
to bring together the unorganized,
to unite and federate the organized,
to bring together in strength Of united
thought and action all of our people
everywhere. Samuel Gompers.
