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

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, eoughS sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for tuil effectiveness until the liver Is made thoroughly ac- uve. That Is why the first step m the treatment is the nauseaIess CaIomel LaOIeIs called Galotabs, which. are tree from the sIckentng and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go long way towards pre venting InfIu- cnza and colds and is one of the most important factors m enabling the pa- tlent t0 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, plsas- ure or work. Next morning your cold has vanished, y9ur liver is active, your system is purified and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Genuine CalotaDs are sold only in original sealed packages, prlce thIrty-five cents for the large, family package: ten cents for the small. Vest-pOcket size.-Adv.

1t is a matter of record that
these flood conditions occur repeat
edly in the late winter and early
spring seasons of every year, al
though in successive years not with
equal intensity. 1t is this very
flood water surplus which offers
itself for conservation to replenish
the deficiency in the rivers natu-
raj discharge, later in the year, to
thereby assure the requisite amount
Of water for continuous normal oper-
alton Of the hydroelectric plant at
Great Falls the whole year round.
1t is evident that cooperative ac-
ton, between the Federal Govern-
ment and the several communities
affected, would result in benefits
Of Unreasonable value, and of the
highest economic worth. The losses
that attend these destructive floods
are enormous in some years, and
the fact that, under the conditions
naturally prevailing, they will be
repeated in every year should cause
forward thinking individuals to con.

and conservancy. An economical
solution of the problem is at hand

principal witness in the Senate's
investigation of the Department of
Justice, today became the center of
a lively row between the Wheeler.
Brookhart investigating committee
and Federal Judge Edwin L. Garvin
at New York.
In answer to the courts demand
that Means be produced in New
York for trial for alleged conspiracy
to violate the Volstead Act, Senator
Wheeler Dem.) Of Montana defied
the Judge to take Means away and
declared that the detective would
be placed in the custody of the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate.
THE sergeant-atarms will receive
instructions from the committee, f"
Wheeler said, ito resist all efforts
to have Means removed to New
York or anywhere else until the
committee is through with him.
He is our most important wit
ness and until we have completed
our questioning Of him, we will not
release him from our subpoena. The
action Of the New York court is an
attempt to block this Investigation
by taking away a material witness
IF 1t becomes necessary to keep
Means, the committee has the
authority to hold Judge Garvin in
contempt Of the Senate"
