No Que will be condemned forI
footing his horn when he has
something to foot about, but
when he blows too loud blast
about nothing he is soon dis
covered and becomes an object OF
ridicule. Our friends the North
Caroliuians. have been doing
some loud blowing, and their
trumpet sound has been caught
up by a certain element in Vir-
ginia who are continually tell
ing us what a marvellous state
North Carolina is and what a
backward and decadent state we
have.
North Carolina has boasted
about its schools. about its roads,
aud about many other things.
1t il interesting to hear what a
leading North Carolina paper has
to say, particularly about their
schools. We quote the Grees
boro IN. CO News:
"A difficult psychologist
situation has been created b,
the activities of our boosters
of late years. Having seen
North Carolina make some
progress iii the manner of pop
ular education. they Immediately
set to work to trumpet our fame
to all the earth aud SO long and
so loudly have they blown that
our own people have actually
come to believe that North
Carolina is doing much better
than she is actually doing
Thousands of North Caroliuians
actually believe that the state is
leading the south in educational
progress and it will come as a
distinct ami unpleasant shock to
them to learn that the statistics
show that even Georgia gives
her children eleven days more
of schooling in the year than
North Carolina gives hers. Vir.
ginia is thirteen days ahead oil
US, and West Virginia is fvs
days ahead"
When it is considered thai
North Carolina is partially
financing her educational Pre-
gram by money borrowed by
bonds, while Virginia is paving
as she goes, the comparison is ali
the more unfavorable to North
Carolina. Likewise. if careful
and unbiased comparison were

ponds upon great sums of bor-
rowed money and enormous in.

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 enul the liver IS made thoroughly ac- tive. That IS why the first step m the treatment is the nausealess caIomel 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- cnza and colds and is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa tient to successfully withstand an at tatk 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 a hearty appetite for breakfast.
