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

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, coughs. aore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver !s made thoroughly ac. tive. That IS why the first step in the treatment is the nausealess calomei tablets called Calotabs. which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomei. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go . long way towards preventing influ- enza and colds and is one of the most important factors Tn 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 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 thirty-five cents for the large family-package: ten cents for the small. vest-pocket size.--Adv.

EX-GOVERNOR ON
 FINANCIAL ROCK
Earl Brewer Of Clarksdale Is Land Poor,' Reports
 Indicate

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 19.-(Spe- cial. )-Word reached Jackson several days ago that former Governor Earl Brewer of Clarksdale was in serious financial straits. While the news occa- stoned much regret it caused little sur prise, for it haHIbeen known in finan- cial circles for some time, that the for mer governor was close to the rocks.
 No bankruptcy proceedings have yet been filed, but several civil suits are pending which might be aptly described as Hand po0r." He invested heavily in delta lands just after leaving the governors office and extended his credit to several young men who desired to en- gage in delta farming operations. Al that time sensational values were be- ing placed on delta farm lands, many walk out" sales being recorded at from S400 to $500 per acre, and Brewer fig ured prominently in some of these deals. He was apparently on the way to be- coming millionaire several times over when the bottom fell out; credits were frightened and bad crops following put a serious crimp in the fortunes of all delta planters and since 1921 Brewer has been stubbornly fighting to keep his head "above water"
 At the next term of the Coahoma county court, which. will be held April I4, there will be heard case in which the ex-governor figures, involving more than $500, 900. This case was filed few days ago, the greater part of the sum being money due on notes of Barry and Charles Bobo of Lyons, Miss, for the purchase from the ex-governor of the Omega plantation, on Big creek, in Coahoma county, this place having been sold for more than $500,000. The notes in some way got into the hands of the Canal Trust and Savings bank of New Orleans. and by them placed in the hands of the Bank of Clarksdale for collection. Payments on them have been stopped by the suits instituted by Brewer.
 It has also been reported that the Tehula Cooperative store was involved in the crash of Brewers finances, but this he denies.
