HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND THE FLU

To break up cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calotabs, h e nausealess
Calomel tablet, that is purified from dan
gerous and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style caIomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians.
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of water,-that's all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your sys-
tenn feels refreshed and purified. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family pack
age. Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists, Your money back if you are not
delighted adv.

IN GEORGIA AND THROUGH
OUT THE COUNTRY.
Eat apples-eat Georgia apples.

Its National Apple Week, and it is
being celebrated here as well as else
where throughout the country with
greater interest than ever before,

The purpose OF apple week, as
pointed out by c. r. Porter, large

fruit for the purpose OF maintaining
health that grows.
