To the Merchants, Public Eating

will be expected to confine their sales
to consumers to this amount.
(2) Sugar for dealers, manufactur
ers and others in this territory must
still be purchased from Louisiana. In
other words, zoning restrictions re
main as tney have been.
(3) Merchants are still required to
keep an accurate record of all sugar
sales, such records to be available tor
inspectors. Countv Food Administra

One Way To Ski
Cat
There are two ways to akin a eat.
We favor only one way. First kill
your cat. A cross-eyed husbandman
asked his hired man to hold the oat
so he could brain it with the axe. The
hired man grasped the animal firmly
and glanced up at the wlelder of the
axe. "Hold on there, boss," he cried.
"If you're going to hit where you're
looking, you'll have to get some one
else to hold this cat."
The occurrence of chill or chilli
ness in the beginlng or in the course
of so many different infectious dis
eases is deplorable, because it leads so
many uneducated people to the con-1 result
elusion that all sorts of illness may j droplets of moisture carrying some
be caused by "exposure," and this fal-; four feet from the nose or mouth of
"oolds," go-called, of soldiers in the
trenches (not soldiers in overcrowded
barracks in cantonments) has as yet
made but little impression on the
popular mjnd this side of the water,
bat wait till the boys come home from
over there, and you will find them
rather amused at the suggestion that
wet feet predispose to "colds."
Health authorities in other states
are inculcating in the minds of school
children one great lesson:
"Every so-called 'cold' is caused by
a transfer of germs from one person
to another."
In the schoolroom is the place to
teach the youngsters this vital fact.
It is the place to teach them the dan
ger of the open-face sneeze and the
unmuzzled cough. It is the place to
teach them the harmlessness of cool
air. If they learn that a simple "head
cold" or sore throat is the probable
of spray infection (invisible

lacy in turn leads te a great deal of
preventable illness.
If you harbor a sneaking suspicion
that exposure is even a contributing
cause of pneumonia, bronchitis, coryza
(cold in the head), diphtheria, or other
respiratory infection, you are Just nat
urally going to be a trifle careful to
keep in out of the air, or to keep the
air out of your bedroom when the air
seems cold or damp. This practice, if
indulged to any extent, is certain to
render you less rosistant to the very
Infections you imagine you are avoid
ing by coddling yourself.
The remarkable freedom from
the person who sneezes or coughs
without holding handkerchiet over
nose and mouth), they wont be so
ticklish about having fresh air in the
bedroom at night as their misguided
parents were. And so the little lesson
in personal hygiene adds to the health
and efficiency of our future citizens.
Our children will look back, some
day, to the absurd belief of their par
ents in the "exposure" myth, and won
der how intelligent people could ever
have harbored such fancies. Just as
we look back to the time when eur
parents were actually afraid to admit
"night air."
We want every afflicted woman to try
at least one Dottle ot Stella-Vitae on
our plain, open guarantee to return the
money paid for it if it does not benefit
If you doubt our word that it will
relieve the distressing aches, pains and
misery peculiar to the diseases of wo
men , read the testimony of these women
who have tried it and are glad to tell
others what it has done for them. The
only interest they have in the matter
is that which any true woman feels in
helping to relieve the sufferings of other
women. You can believe them.
Mrs. J. F. Lee, Milstead, Ga., had
female complaint for years. Three bot
ties of Stella-Vitab cured her, she
said, and added," l am certainly thank
ful for this great female tonic." Mrs
Paralee Frazier. Longview. Tex., ex
pressed appreciation of Stel,l,a-Vitae
In these words: "1 cannot say too much
for this wonderful medicine. I had
taken other female medicines for two
years with no good results. I am truly
grateful for the good Stella- vitai
has done me." Mrs. Sandy Withers
of Greensboro, Ala., was a terrible suf
ferer from female trouble and only i
woman knows what that means! Her
condition got so bad her pains threw
her into spells like fits. Her husband
feared she would lose her mind. The
Greensboro doctors pronounced her in
curable. Then somebody suggested;
that she take Stella-Vitae. She did
so. The first dose lightened her spells.
Stella-Vitae is a perfectly harm-
i less compound anditnotonly alleviates
a woman's pain, but builds up her
health; it stimulates her appetite, aids
digestion, quiets her nerves and clears
her complexion. It improves her per
sonal appearance.

authorized to return the money paid

Capt. McLeod was among the first

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of a cold, cough, influen
za or grippe should invariably be "a
brisk calomel purgative, preferably the
nausealess calomel, called Calotabs."
This alone is often sufficient to break
up a severe cold over night, or cut
short an attack of grippe and pos
sibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eating,

your cold has vanished and your en
