QUIT GALOMEL
Thousands are Turning from This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is Olive
ablets for the Liver.

DR.. +. M, Edwards, prominent
physician of Ohio, has discovered a
new laxative and liver toner in a
combination Of vegetable materials.
mixed with olive oil, which is in effect
almost exactly like the old and I'M
trustworthy calomel, except that there
are none OF the bad after effects of
calomel.
DR.. Edwards has long been foe Of
calomel, though he recognized its
value along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years ago to-
wards experiments with the view of
discovering substitute, and he Is to-
day in possession of the long-sought-
for combination, which is in the shape
of little sugar-coated. olive-oil col
ored tablet.
The results of II years experience
and practice are embodied in these
marvellous lIttlet tablets.
They are called Dr. Edwards Olive
Tablets. They oil the bowels, and their
effect on the liver has been the means
of relief to many of Dr.. Edwards reg
ular patients as well as to thousands
OF others who have suffered and were
afraid of calomel
They are gentle in their action, yet
always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that nat
ural buoyancy which should be en-
ioyed by everyone, by toning up the
liver and clearing the system of harm

Human Lives as State Assets.
This fact has an immense personal
meaning for us all. The work that
health officers have done in the direc-
ton of rescuing human lives has been
marvellous. Each life saved Is worth
so mitch to the state and nation. It is
a valuable asset. 1t has value which

The political economist now recognizes
that the most valuable kind of wealth
is human lfe--that human labor Is

other forms of capital. Even the new

these investigators, has a per capita
value of 1915; that is, he adds just
that much to the nations capital. Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher of Yale, one of
the foremost American economists, has
painstalsingly figured the financial
value to the state of every citizen at

results are already apparent. this wea-

As an illustration of the effect of
publicity in the work of enforcing pure
food legislation, 1t is well to call atten-
tion to a case which came under this
commissioners direction and observa-
ton during the past few months. An
outside manufacturer flooded the state
with goods which were guaranteed to
be absolutely pure. The price should
have been an indication to iobbers and
retailers that the goods were of inferior
quality, but many caught at the bait.
Samples We're analysed, and bulletins
sent broadcast over the state warning
dealer and consumer as to the quality
of the goods. The manufacturer re-
fused to stand by his guarantee and
has 1t is believed Stunned the state
since. He ventured the information,
through communication, that his firm
did not wish to do business in state
where the department used such meth

Is merely called to this one case to
demonstrate the power for good in the
plan of publicity in dealing with dis
honest food manufacturers.
People who have heretofore given the
question of purity of our food products
little or no thought whatever are be-
ginning to take interest In the aues-
ton They have heretofore accepted
whatever the producer has rendered
them, and have asked no questions, re-
lying upon the honesty Of the many
men who. perhaps, have been Interested
in getting the product into their hands.
Consumers OF food products are ac-
quiring the habit Of asking the men
from whom they purchase their food
supplies regarding the purity and
wholesomeness OF the goods they are
buying. They are acquiring the habit
of examining the labels on packages of
food products in order to learn the
quality of goods and In order to ascer-
tain If they have received the quality
they have paid for. They know that

Disappointment Ahead.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: A dis
patch from Buenos Avres states that
foreign capitalists, chiefly Americans
engaged in trust operations, have
practically cornered the beef and
mutton supply of Argentina and are
ready to turn to their own advantage
any reduction that may be made by
tariff 1evisers in duties on meats.
These trust representatives are report
ed to be paying more for food animals
on the hoof than recent prices for the
pressed meats sent to England, and
independent packers in Argentina
find themselves in straits If the
removal of a duty were surely follow
ed by a corresponding reduction of
prices to consumers tariff problems
would be simpler. But the man
with the market basket knows that
no such rule can be depended on.
Sometimes an article put on the free
list is advanced in price by various
agencies between producers and con-
sumers, and a home industry is in
jured without any decline in the cost
Of living.
1t can be assumed that the meats
of Australia will be marked up also
if American tariff schedules are fore
Swallowed by the final approval of the
bill as it passed the house. The
great rivers reaching Up from Argen-
tina into the heart of South America
have long given access to great
supply of cattle cheaper than that Of
the United States, but of poorer
quality In these times dressed meats
can be sent far on ships with facilities
for refrigeration. Cattle also are
transported readily on vessels equipped
for the trade. But speculative mono
polists are quicker to act than is a
legislative body. They calculate the
probable action of law makers and
place themselves in advance at the
points Of trade advantage. This
country once suspended the duty on
coal without the slightest result
ing gain to consumers. The present
tariff admits hides free, but shoes are
no lower. Coffee has long b9en on
the free list and is great deal higher
than in former years. These are facts
that congress should weigh with an
open mind and with due concern for
the whole people.

LANCASTER MAN MET
DEATH ACCIDENTALLY
Edward Garner Drowned In the
Mississippi, at Dubuque
Body Identified and Brought Home
Tuesday Noon, and Buried at
Hillside Cemetery.

Edward Garner, aged 80, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Garner, of this
city, was accidentally drowned in
the Mississippi river at Dubuque
several days ago, presumably on the
morning Of May 81, under circum-
stances surrounded with more or less
mystery and doubt, the particulars
of which will probably never be
known.
His body was found floating in the
river near the swimming pool on Fri.
day evening of last week by some
workmen, and taken to the morgue for
Identification. Tt was found that he
had on a new tie which bore the
label of Haley & Edwards, Lancaster,
and this later led to his identity.
Ii was known that Edward had been
in Dubuque on Memorial Day, or the
day following, in company with
Howard Richardson and Geo. l..
Cooley, of this city. They stated
that the three were in the depot at
East Dubuque on Saturday night and
waited for train to take them to Potosi
Edward Garner, they said, fell asleep
As the train was several hours late
they decided not TO remain in East
Dubuque but to return to Dubuque.
They endeavored to awaken Mr.,
Garner, but could not. They left him
sleeping and came to Dubuque. That
was the last they knew of him.
It is believed that Mr.. Garner either
walked in his sleep and fell into the
river or that he fell from the high
brige when going to Dubuque. The
body had been in the water nearly a
week. 1t is believed the severe storm
Of Friday had much to do with the
raising Of the body.
Ysa body, which had been buried
was disinterred Monday afternoon and
an inquest held Monday evening 1t
was identified by his father. and Louis
Starr, of this city, who went to Du-
buque on Sunday.
The remains were prepared for
burial and brought home on the noon
train Tuesday, being met at the depot
by the sorrowing parents and other
relatives and friends. Burial took
place at Hillside cemetery, the services
being conducted at the grave, by Rev
Chas. T. Beers.

Superior Farm Practice Best Cure for
Flood Troubles.

Editor Journal: Regarding your
editorial on floods permit me to
suggest that the greatest element of
control is in the hands of the farmers
of the Mississippi valley. We nave
had deluge of talk to the effect that
forestry is the cureall for destructive
floods. The nonsense Of this theory
is shown in every flood, aud, for that
matter, by the history of the whole
country The most casual reader of
history knows that great floods an
tedated the devastation of the
forests of this country.
At best the percentage of acreage
that can be devoted to forests if we are
to live, is small-food takes proceed
ence to timber and there are sub
stitutes for the one and not the other
A farm practice that will cause Guilt
waited land to absorb water will go
a long way toward regulation of the
flood evil, and it will do so to the
vast profit of the farmer and to the
nation.
In Wisconsin we are adopting the
practice of sowing some clover with
all farm crops and blowing under the
residue after pasturing. This not
only pays in itself, but while increas-
ing other crops, adds to the water
holding capacity of the land. When
the fact is considered that there is
from twenty to fifty times as much
land under cultivation as in timber
it is easy to see that the objective
point is in the fields and not in
the timber. Wis. Advancement As
