ed in the selection of the best pos
sibly obtainable to fill the office
of county school superintendent.
Every citizen of an independent dis
trict is vitality interested in the pro-
gress and success of the schools of
the entire county.
The matter ought to be thorough
ly tested in the courts and ought
to set the question at rest, but i
would feel unauthorized to hold that
that contained in Section 147> OF
the School Code is unconstitutional,
and that therefore people who are
by that law prohibited from voting
in such an election, should. partici-
pate and vote. l do think, however,
that ought to be put to a judicial
test, and trust that it may be done
in order that the question may b
finally set at rest.
l suggested to the State school
Commissioner, in another part of
the letter quoted from, that it would
! be wholesome to have this matter
finally passed upon by our Supreme
Court. l still think so, anC truso
that this course may be followed"
PursuaDt to the suggestion con-
tanned in the foregoing letter it was
suggested today by interested pax
ties that the matter may be brought
before the courts in the form of
imanda mus proceedings directed
against the Democrats executive
;committee, and that these through
the usual processes of law will fin

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is Gallo
tabs the Purified and Refihed
Calomel Tablets That Are
Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found bv 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
active. That IS why the, first step
in the treatment is the rausealess
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
influenza and colds and is one of
the most important factors in en-
aiding the patient to successfully
withstand an attack and ward off
pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs at bed time,
with a swallow of water-that's all.
No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating,
pleasure 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. Cen
uine Calotabs are sold only in orig
igal sealed packages, price thirty
five cents for the large, family,
package; ten cents for the small,
