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 ac- tive. That is why the first step m 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- enza 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 a swallow of watN-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 thirty-five cents for the large, family-package; ten cents for the small. vest-pocket size.-Adv.

FUNDS GROWING
 FOR LEE SCHOOL
$10,000 Mark Is Now Reached. Workers Will Redouble
 Their Efforts

Workers for the Lee Memorial School of Journalism fund, now being sub- scribed in Birmingham, Tuesday con. tinued their successful campaign. While the group of workers was small on &C., count of the bad weather, many dona- tions were reported and the usual busi- ness luncheon was held at noon.
 It was announced at headquarters Tuesday night that the total subscribed toward Birmingham's quota of $15,O00 is now well over the $10,000 mark. All workers will meet again today for the final canvass, starting from headquar. ters in the Tutwiler hotel at 10 o'clock in the morning and meeting again for business luncheon at 1 o'clock in the Tutwiler.
 It is felt by the campaign leaders that the remainder of the quota for this memorial could be raised by a large number of small contributions. Sons of Confederate Veterans and vari- ous civic organizations are making an appeal for 250 donations of $10 each and 800 donations of $5 each. This will distribute the burden and enlarge the scope of the all-southern drive, and the magnitude of the tribute to Lee. Checks should be made to the order of the Lee Memorial School of Journalism and sent to campaign headquarters in care of the Tutwiler.
 Subscriptions were received Tuesday from Mrs. H. K. Jefferson, Mrs. Her man Saks, Mrs. Robert Bell, Mrs. Mary Russely, Mrs. Hubert Scruggs, Mrs. Mary Claire Milner, Mrs. w. J. Miner, Mrs. w. R.

ARREST AVIATOR
 FLYING TOO LOW
Karl Ort, Accused Of Firing Within City Limits, Tuesday.
 Was Over Birmingham

When Karl s. Ort, a Montgomery aviator, swooped low and dropped bombs over the city hall Tuesday aft ernoon at ? 80 o'clock his purpose was to call attention to a certain brand or perfecto which he was advertising.
 He accomplished his purpose all right, but he did even more. He also attracted the attention of Police and Fire Commissioner W. B. Cloe to the fact that his plane was allegedly violating two city ordinances.
 Cloe. quickly dispatched E E. Me Corkle and j. J. Neely, city patrol man, and when the big plane came to stop on Roberts field half an hour later Ort was arrested.
 Ordinance Violation
 As result, it is said, the aviator will face a charge of violating section S04-C of the city code which prohibits flying under 1,500 above the city and an accusation discharging of firearms within the city limits, Thursday night in police court.
 Just how low Ort was flying his plane cannot, perhaps, be accurately determined but Cloe states that he be- lieved him to be even with the top of The Age Herald building when he passed over the city hall.
 Ort told an Age-Heraid reporter after arrest that he thought he was flying between 800 and 1000 feet. But the air was bumpy." he added, 'and couldn't say definitely"
 Regarding the discharge of fire arms, the bombs are perfectly harm less. One could explode five feet from you and it wouldn't blow your hat off," he declared.
 Many Witnesses
 Numerous witnesses will be sum- mons to testify against Ort at his trial, it was said. Among, these are c. E. Messer. 906 Nineteenth street, south, and R. s. Molloy, 916 Nineteenth, street, south, aviators.
 The case will not be the first one to find it's way into city courts for the infraction of the air zone. Four others have been tried previously, two forfeiting their bonds, one being $50, and another S25.

PRISONERS WILL WORK City Planning To Utilize Labor Of
 Those Held In Jail

Commissioner w. B. Cloe threatened Tuesday to lease city prisoners to the county unless the commission works out plans to work them on the city streets and in the parks.
 The commission discussed the situ- ation at length, conferred with City Attorney W. J. Wynn and decided to take definite action at a meeting Thurs day morning. Indications were that the white prisoners would be worked on the streets. and that the women would be worked in a laundry, which Cloe proposes to open at Nineteenth street and Avenue D, in a building owned by the city.
 Attorney Wynn ruled that the city had the right to lease its prisoners to the county, but also had the right to work them on the streets, in parks or elsewhere.
 At Thursdays session Commissioner Harrison will make a requisition for the number of prisoners he needs in the parks and Commissioner Dickson will state the number he can use on the streets

Invest in the New Gold Strike

Messrs. Diaz and Huerta, two
mining magnates of Old Mexico,
were visitors to the Vulture min
ing district this week, accom-
panied by Col. Bowler and Vice
President Pecina of the Franco
American Company. Their in
vestigation of the new gold dis
coveries by Co.. Bowler, A. j.
Kellis and j. Irvine was so allur-
ing that they became immediate
investors. Orders for machinery
and equipment followed a dis
tinct plan of development laid
out for extraction of the rich
gold ore. Several carloads of
the ore, rich in specimen rock,
with free gold bristling all
through it, will be shipped i'm
mediately to the Hayden smelter.
The properties acquired are in
a mineral zone that is fabulous
for gold production and is only a
short distance from the famous
Vulture, which under primitive
mining methods of SO years ago
produced over $4,000, 900 in
gold. Col. Fred Bowler is the
directing engineer in charge of
installation and development.

will need help as earnestly as a

When that time comes, the heed
