Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Cold

Millions have found in Calotabs a
most valuable aid in the treatment
of colds. They take one or two tab
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fourth night if needed.
How ~do Calotabs help Nature
throw off cold? First, Calotabs are
one of the most thorough and de-
pendable of all intestinal eliminants,
thus cleansing the intestinal tract of
the germ-laden mucuS and tOxineS.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-01-13

Second, Ca1otabs are diuretic to the
kidneys, promoting the elimination
of cold poisonS from the blood. Thus
CalotabS serve the double purpose Of
a purgative and diuretic, both of
which are needed in the treatment
of colds.
Calotabs are quite economical;
only twenty-five cents for the family
package, ten cents for the trial
package. (Adv.)

To the Shareholders of the First
National Bank in Henderson, Hen
derson N. C.:
We beg to submit herewith our re-
port of the operation of your bank
for 1886, which has been the most sue
cessful year in it's history. Our net
profits for the year after paying all
expenses were a little over $500 per
share, which was an increase OF ~
percent over the net profits OF 1888,
exclusive of the profits we received
In 1885 from matured bonds that we
bought prior to that year at dis
count. BY order of your Board of Di-
rectors you have been paid during the
year out of these earnings cash div
idends of $500 per share, $1,000 per
share has been set aside for stock
dividend and $500 per share added to
the surplus fund.
Your deposits have increased from
S1,139,42123 on December 81, 1885, to
1,5O6, O29.57 on December 81, 1886, or
a little over 81 percent
In investing the money for the de-
positors during the year, your Board
of Directors gave first consideration
to safety the second to liquidity and
the third to earnings. To obtain safety
and liquidity it is often necessary to
sacrifice some earnings. Instead OF
buying second grade bonds of states
counties and cities that yield higher
rate OF interest, your Board thought it
wise to tuy first class U. S. Govern
mcnt bonds that yield lower rate OF
interest, and you will see from the
statement furnished you that we now
own $458,66 Of such /. onds, whereas
one year ago we only owned $751;
G44.C0 Of these bonds or a gain OF
over IT'S percent. We consider u. S
Government Bonds next to cash, are
the most liquid type of asset avail
able, due to their eligibility as col.
lateral for Federal Reserve accom-
modations. Our increase in State
County and City bonds has been only
five percent.
If confidence makes for prosperity
then we are in for a spell of good
times. Occording to Tom K. Smith
President of American Bankers AS
sociation, the banking outlook is more
encouraging than it has been in some
time, and the banking machinery is
being put into shape to serve business
more efficiently than ever before.

Anthonavage Effective,

three hits, Catholic .University's

to whirl around the bases and Smokey
Joe Anthonavage's effectiveness to
edge out Western Maryland, 80, yes
terday at Brookland Stadium.
Scattering Western Maryland's seven
hits over the seven-inning route,
Anthonavage nevertheless was given
brilliant support afield in throttling
the Green Terrors.
The Cards jumped into one-run
lead in the second inning, but Western
Maryland tied it up in the third.
Catholic then came back to score
single runs in the fourth and fifth
frames, while the invaders could nick
Anthonavage for only one run-in the
sixth session.
Adamaitis, Brown and Garland
were the only Cardinals to hit, while
Brudash and McGuillin each garnered
two safeties for Western Maryland.
