JAPAN INCREASES FORCES

TOXIC, Dec 8-Japans budget shows decrease of forty millions in revenue and economics will be at once pracsed that will enable the nation to increase her naval and military forces by considerable amount The nten- ton is according to the official information given out
 to increase the army by two complete army divisions and to build large number of war vessels It is chiefly intended to construct torpedo boats and destroyers as well as submarines No reason has been assigned of course for this increase especially in the army but it is assumed that Japan is desrous of being prepared for what might come not only during the present great war but afterwards There general belief here that should Germany come out of the war without being much weak ened she will try to get revenge against this country Some of the Berlin papers have actually made such a threat.

DAMAGE TO THE DORA IS
 ONLY SUPERFICIAL Probably Tit a Submerged Wreck But Elect is Only Very Slight.

The Dora was beached yesterday to ascertain the extent of the damage done when she hit something in shell kof straits. Capt. McMullen says there are indications that lead to the opinion that the vessel hit a submerged wreck but of this he is not sure. The extent of the injury is covered by a few feet and what there is amounts to nothing practically. She will get away again on schedule, December l5.

MELPOLOER CHECKS
CLOTHING DISPOSAL
Charity Expert Believes
Many Took Advantage of
Generous Givers.

Secretary Melpolder of the Central
Bureau, is working out a checking
system for clothing which is given
charity organizations, by which every
article will be traceable until 1t is
given away or Sold
Certain persons were much cha
grined when they were refused cloth
ing few days ago, instead of having
1t instantly pressed upon them. Mr..
Melpolder believes the giving of cloth
ing has been as much abused as other
charity.
He found a case of woman who
washes clothes for several families
well off financially. The woman is
regarded as honest, as she never
takes articles from the wash. Each
family for whom she works gives her
their cast off clothing, which is In
good condition. A short time ago, the
women struck upon that subject and
by comparing notes, it was found that
their wash woman should have a big
ger wardrobe than any of them.
Since the Associated Charities
rooms have been given up and Mrs.
Gambler is occupying a desk in the
Central Bureau office, there is no
storage place for clothing which is
given. Some is kept in the basement
of Whitewater school. The fiscal COM
mittee members are seeking suitable
location to store the gifts.
The bureau now has telephone No.
1885. This will be changed to the AS
sociated Charities number 2O50 later.

HUNGARIAN IN JAIL
AFTER RENT SCRAP

A considerable representation of the
local Hungarian colony was in city
court this morning to attend the trial
of Andy Smith, charged with provok-
ing his fellow countryman, George
Elk, to assault him. An interpreter
was required for Elk and three
women
Elk had been charged with assault
and battery but the charge against
him was dismissed. Trouble arose
over rent Elk alleged Smith owed
him. 1t was testified that Mrs. Elk
a small. frail mother of four young
children. pushed Smith out of the
house and threw his clothing after
him. Elk then smote Smith with
strone and the latter hurled rock,
breaking two boards In the side of the
house.
Smith said that when Elk had no
job he helped him along, but when con
ditions were reversed Elk ordered him
to find another boarding place. Smith
reluctantly testified that he had ap-
peared in city court seven times to
answer various charges. He was fined
$40 and costs.
Sam Wilson and John Dorsey, both
colored, who got into a fight over a
pool game, were each fined 81 and
costs.

BETTER Than CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxa-
tive. and their effect on the liver is almost
instantaneous. They are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat liver
and bowel complaints with calomel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calcnel does but have no bad after ef-
fects. They don't injure the teeth like strong
liquids or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth1 Cal
omel sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
1t is best not to take calomel. but to let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and 4
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets when you MISUNDERSTANDING"

remained strong with 81 head of quad
quality going over the scales. Only

Market conditions are extremely un'
settled, and hogs delivered are mostly
consigned by farmers who are becom'

ward trend of prices. In the man, farm
ers are holding their hogs in antici
patton of better prices. AS one farmer
expressed it: 1--WE have plenty of new
corn now, and we should worry"

courses in the schools.
Superintendent Williams received
word today that Miss Mabel Thatcher
Wellman of Indiana university, a
domestic science expert is ready to
come to this county Immediately. He
replied that the schools are ready to
receive her and he asked the state
board of education that she be assign

J. d. Harper OF Purdue, an expert
in agricultural education is the other
investigator who will work in this

that he also be permitted to work here
for one month.
Mr.. Williams said: Il am gratified
with the way the state board is TAX
ing up the work of arranging pre-

Too many legislators and department
heads are willing to make laws and
rulings on the Investigations made by
inexperienced persons who stay one

experts came to this county, l believe
their visits will be fruitful for the OBJ

Best Laxative
For Children

When your baby is cross and fret
full instead of the happy, laughing
little dear you are accustomed to, in
all probability the digestion has be-
come deranged and the bowels need
attention. Give it a mild laxative,
dispel the irritability and bring
back the happy content of baby
hood.
The very best laxative for child
rem is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
because it contains no opiate or
narcotic drug, is pleasant tasting
and acts gently, but surely, without
gripping or other distress. Drug
gists sell DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep

today by a Taube aeroplane which
swooped down upon the city from the

Just a short time before French
aerial patrols had returned after vain
ly securing the sky for the two Taube
machines that had dropped eight
bombs yesterday, killing three persons
and wounding fourteen. The German
attacks have failed to produce the
panic that the Germans evidently
hoped for, but they have caused feel

1t is feared now that a night attack
may be made and that unoffending
women and children will suffer
Among the French military authori-

is feeling of stoicism out of keep

of the French.
Along with the eight bombs drop
