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 until the liver Is made thoroughly ac- tive. That Ia why the first. step Tn the treatment is the nausealesa caIomel tablets, called Calotabs, which are free from the sickeninK and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may Ko a long way towards preventing tnflu- cn1a and colds and ia one ot the most importan. 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, plsas- 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, 1amily-package: ten cents for the small. vest-pocket size.-Adv.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Sen- ators. who are unwilling that the oil investigation be brought to a finish before the entire sordid story is reveal ed, may be forced to arm themselves in defense of their lives and employ body guards.
 Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Ala bama, who declared in the Senate that he had received an anonymous letter threatening his life unless he abandoned his attacks against the republican scandal, expresses willingness to be one of ten or more senators to con- tinue the fight even if it be neces- sary for the senators, thus banded to- gether, to arm themselves, heavily, and secure strong men to protect them from their enemies. Speaking in the Senate against republican newspaper attacks against himself, and Senators Harrison of Mississippi and Caraway of Ar kansas, the Alabama senators gave ex- pression to the following sentiments {:
 Hast Friday I received an anony- nous letter from New York in which the writer threatened to murder me if turned the letter over to the chief inspector of the post office de- partment. The person who wrote that letter is evidently a partisan re- publican. I will not be intimidated by such cowardly tactics.

 Il want the people to know what sort of risks we ourselves are taking when we dare to expose those who have betrayed their trusts and drive from office those who have for money bartered the property of the people.
