BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR.. Ed
wards Olive Tablets Are Harm
less Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for ealomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver
is almost instantaneous. They are the
result of DIR. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaint
with calomel. His efforts to Danish it
brought out these little olive-colored
tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does but have no bad
after effects. They don't injire 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 teethf Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
1t is best not to take caomel, but to
let DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets take its
place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and disordered liver. Take DR.. Ed
wards Olive Tablets when you feel
"loggy" and heavy" Note how they
clear cloujed brain and how they
"perk up" the spirits. At 1Oc and 25c

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You

The American. men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled with
uric acid which the kidneys strive to
filter out, they weaken from overwork,
become sluggish; the eliminatiye tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen
erations to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is source of irri-
tation, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
iithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv..

HOW Berlin IS HANDLING
THE INTRICATE task OF
GIVING P0PULACE Bread

Washington, March 11.--How the
Berlin authorities are handling the food
situation, distributing bread to the civil
population in allowances of 4.4O
pounds weekly to each person, is told
in report just received by the State
Department from Consul Julius G. Lay.
"The negotiations for the regula.
tion of the bread consumption of Great
er Berlin are at an end, )" says Mr.. Lay.
1t has been definitely decided to ap-
portion the "A pounds allowed each
person weekly by means of bread cards.
The Lord Mayor of Berlin, after con
ference with the rectors of the city
schools has announced the. division of
the city into 10 bread districts. Each
one of these districts has II 900 to
10000 inhabitants. The bread cards
are not transferable and valid only
for the week of issuance.
How Bread Is Given Out
''The cards will be given only to a
single person and not to whole fam.
lilies. They are numbered, and those
issued for the different weeks are of
various colors so as to overcome pos
sibility of misuse. The punishments for
the misuse of the cards are sufficiently
heavy to prevent bakers from giving
bread to persons who do not possess
the proper cards. The amounts desig-
mated on the cards are %, so, 100 and
250 grams (o.SS, 1.76, S.53 and $50
ounees).
1.-The greatest difficulty encountered
by the authorities in actually working
out the bread question was the lack of
available means to check hotels and
restaurants in melting out bread to their
patrons. For public places the question
is not yet entirely settled, but it is
thought that the day cards, will be
given out in the hotels and that in the
small restaurants payment will be ac-
cepted for bread.
Difficulties of the System
"Another difficulty has interfered
with the working out of this scheme
is the treatment of persons, such as
charwomen, seamstresses, etc., who are
employed in given household for only
an hour or two each day. Such persons
must either bring their bread or their
bread cards with them.
Hamburg and other German cities
of over 25,000 inhabitants are consid-
ering similar measure but as yet have
not followed Berlin s example,

MANY HEIRS TURN UP
324 Will Eventually Share in Woman s
Small Estate

Bloomsbury, Pa, March 11.-An un-
usual partition proceeding instituted in
the orphans court this county, because
of the great numbers of heirs is that
in the estate of Effie Hess, late of Mif-
flinville.
None of the heirs desired to take
over the property, frame dwelling
house, and the partition proceedings are
required. Of the nine brothers and
sisters of the deeedent, only one is liv-
