MOutgom kFv. Ala Ian a

The number Of prisoners committed
to the state penitentiary for the CAL
endar year 1923 showed a decrease
OF 12s over 1922. according to figures
today from the office of Roy L. Mo-
Yen, associate member of the state
board OF administration. The nrm-
Der OF new prisoners received in
1922 was 1,166 and in 1923. 1.040. The
figure for 1921 was 1850. While the
total number of prisoners committed
declined, the proportion of white men
has increased, the figures show.
This increase Is attributed to the
large number of convictions for vio-
lating the prohibition law, about S5
per cent Of convicts being received
having been convicted of this Of
Tense. For the calendar year just
ended, Of 1,040 new inmates, 400
were white men. For the fiscal year
of 1s21-22, a total OF l66 white men
were committed to the penitentiary
and 6S1 negro men. while for tho cal
endar year 1923, the figures show 40
white men and sos negro men on De-
cember 81, 1923, there were more
than two negroes for every white
person in the penitentiary, although
the figures for 1888 show that
nearly half the commitments for
that year were whites.

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 infla-
enna and colds and IL 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 a 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

ders the patient no longer infective.
1t is therefore both curative and pre-
