How CaLatabs Help Nature To Tlirow Off a Bad Cold Millions have found In Calotabs a I most valuable aid in the troatment I of colds. They take one or two tablets the first night and repeat the i third or fifth night If needed. Hoto do Calotabs help Nature throw off a cold? First, Calotabs Is one (if the most thorough and dependable of all Intestinal ellminants, thuy cleansing the ln'-stlnal tract of the germ-laden mucus and toxlnes. Second, Calotabs arc diuretic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the system. 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-flve cents for the family pnekage, ten cents for the triad package. (Adv.)

Camden, S. C., Dec. 23, 1935. George W. Oivany, Jr., 22, son of a I former chief of Tammany Hall, died Wednesdny, in New York of wounds self inflicted on December 10, at Sarana Lake Hotel grounds. He was a j tubercular and had been in poor health since he graduated from Brown University last June. I MULE8 OF THE SIERRAS (CJ. H. Law in Our Dumb Animals) j To the coffee planter of the Vene- j zuclun Cordillera de los Andes the i mule is a valuable ally. Working throughout the year on the "haciendas,"1 the animals are partIc-.:la:'.y j useful during the harvest scis-y-tJ when they transport the garnered crop to the main dispatching points. Throughout the Sierras mule-trains are to, be met with, laden with produce. The drivers of these trains, picturesque fellows, handle their charges with great skill, urging them along with rough yet kindly cries. In the remote fatnesses of the upper heights, where .the rarifled atmosphere makes sustained physical effort extremely arduous, the dwellers rely to a great extent upon mountain-bred mules when traveling from place to place. Rugged trails traverse these lonely regions, leading from the great jungles of the lower levels up through the sparse shrub patches marking the limit of the timber-line, to the desolate wind-swept passes, culminating in the Pass of El Paramo del Mucuchies, where the Trans-Andean road crosses the crest of the range at 13,511 feet above sea-level. Beyond the next valley rise the mighty peaks of the Sierra de Santo Domingo, capped with everlasting snow and ice, the cradle of bitter winds which rake the high exposed points. In these unfrequented areas, the traveler will often journey for hours on end without encountering a single soul, his animal picking iu way carefully along the desolate trails, bordered in season by blight Alpine flowers. The mules of this region possess great stamina and powers of endurance, enabling them to withstand to a remarkable degree the Tatigning effects of the rarifled atmosphere and the steep trails over which they travel. Their coats are thick and shaggy, serving as protection against the icy winds which sweep the exposed ridges, and the damp cloudbanks that envelope the heights for hours and even days at a time. The mountain man looks after his animal with care; for away from the Trans-Andean road, it is his sole means of transportation; and he may be seen clad in a thick "poncho"?a blanket-like capo?with a vjoollen helmet covering his head and most of bis face, pursuing his solitary way amid an awe-inspiring grandeur of scenery.
