TWO CALOIDS MADE HIM
FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN
Just read what J. W. Carver, prom
inent farmer of Douglas county, has
to say about CALOIDS, the new calo
mel compound, which positively will
not give pain or distress of any kind:
“The Caloids Company,
“Atlanta, Ga.
“Gentlemen: Your new calomel com-1
pound, CALOIDS, is a wonder. For
years I have been a sufferer from bil- |
iousness and indigestion, and I am glad |
to tell you that CALOIDS have done!
more for me than any medicine that I,
have ever taken. After taking only i
two C.ALOIDS I could tell a big differ- ‘
ence, and have felt much better. In,
fact, they made me feel like a new
man. And the good part is that the ef
fect seems to be lasting. I am glad
that I discovered CALOIDS, for they
have certainly helped me.” ,
J. W. CARVER, Douglasville, Ga.
CALOIDS contain calomel, but in
small doses and so combined with ]
other medicines that you never know]
you have taken calomel at all. One;
CALOID at night does the work. Get j
them at your druggist’s. Twenty doses
for 35 cents.- adv

Changes in Bell Telephone Rates-1913 to 1918
Compared with Changes in Wages and Prices
SINCE 1913 there has been a steady increase in the price of all com
modities and the products of industry, which has not been reflected
in a corresponding increase in telephone rates. In order to meet the
past and present high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just pro
portion to the expense must be secured.
The reason is simple. The cost of telephone operation has steadily
advanced both because of the increased cost of material and the in
creased living cost of employes. The consumer has realized the neces
sity of paying more for rent, for'food, for clothing and for transporta
tion. The telephone industry has been affected by the same conditions
which have produced higher prices in all of the necessities of life.
Between 1913 and 1918, commodity prices advanced 112 per cent,’
wages advanced 72 per cent and Bell Telephone rates the country over
advanced only 4 per cent. Adequate rates are needed if the service is
to be maintained efficiently and on a comprehensive scale, so as to meet
the increasing demands of the public.
This company is operating its telephone property under the direc
tion of the Postmaster General for the United States Government and
must secure sufficient revenue to cover the cost of rendering the service.
