SLIPPERY Mr.. HARDING.

Slippery Harding is hard to catch on
the road question for to him 1t is like
the tariff was to Cleveland; 1t is To-
cal issue. Months ago in discussing
it at Sioux City he said that the special
paving district law, which had been
written by Sioux City man and was
popular there, would be the solution OF
the road problem in Iowa. That meant
that the cost Of road improvement
would be assessed to the property near
by. Then in southern Iowa where there
is much opposition to road reform MI
Harding told them that if the bankers
and lawyers wanted to pave the roads
let them pay for it.
Then Nj Harding spoke at a COM
mercal club banquet in Tama, where
the local option and bond plan was ex-
planned and it seemed so reasonable
and fair to him that he wrote his friend
Murphy, of Vinton, next day that, In
his judgment, the road problem would

Then the Iowa Farmer called for his
road platform in writing and Harding
declared for local option, for some
surfacing more permanent than dirt
and for bonds when voted by the peo-
pie In this respect he was in line with
the road boosters and the other two
candidates for governor.
But now we find him addressing q
meeting in Cedar county where they
have very little gravel and he immedi-
ately brands the idea of bonding fol
houses and water works as "ridicu.
lous," promoted by fanatics" In the
small towns he tells the "peeplN'' tina
the big towns are boosting good roads
so as to bring all the trade to the big
towns.

Certainly my dear sir, you do not

morals. She can not be your inferior
in intelligence. Your mother had
clearer wisdom on matters pertaining
to the public than you. Then why not
let her vote?" inquiries the Humboldt

HAS Hardings stock gone up since
the endorsement OF him by the Daven-
port German-American democrats?'
asks the Coon Rapids Enterprise.
THE action may cause a few scatter
ing German American democrats to
vote for him. but the democratic party
is going to line up pretty closely with
one faction of their party or the other.
However, the endorsement served to
show that Harding Is the white hope
of the liberal element so called OF the
state and this may get some votes
for him.

Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-thc sub
stitutc for calomcl-arc a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomcl. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olivc-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. 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 teeth? Calomcl
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomcl, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr.. Edwards

Many Troubles Due
to Weak Kidneys

"It Is no use advertising a medicine IN
less the medicine itself is good enough
to back up the claims you make for it,

druggists, to a Daily Kennebec journal
man. "On the other hand 1t is pleas,
to sell medicine when our customers
come in afterward and tell US how much
good it has done them. And that is why
we like to sell and recommend Solvax, the
great kidney remedy. Ever since we fES
introduced SolvaX in Augusta, our CLERKS
have been so busy selling it tina. we have
a hard time keeping a sufficient stock o1
hand. We have so much faith in this o.
ticle that we are going to guarantee It IN
the future and will return the money to
any purchaser of Solvax whom it does
not help. This may seem rash but our
customers have said SO many good WORDS
in it's favor that we do not expect to
have many packages returned"
This shows great faith in Solvax.

cause it overcomes the worst cases Of

Pittsfeld, Me, April 26-(SpeciaD-
Monday and Tuesday, April "a and %,
a hearing was held in United States
court at Portland over the sale of the
Linn Woolen Co. mills at Hartland
Some years ago the company mort
gagged the mills to Henry F. Libby, w.
L. Pushor Of Pittsfieid. and G. NJ. Lam
cey of Hartland as trustees to secure
bonds of $146,0O0. The bonds were not
paid and the trustees foreclosed the
mortgage and advertised the property
for sale at auction. Charles F. Gross
of Boston and some others, who owned
more than half of the bonds, brought
suit to have the trustees prevented
from making the sale, claiming that
the property would bring more later.
The trustees claimed that on account
Of the European war the woolen busi-
ness is good and that it is the hest
time to sell.
The court ruled that injunction
against the sale should not be grant
ed, so the mills will be sold next Tues
day, May 2. at auction. Manson &
Coolidge of Pittsfieid were attorneys
for the trustees, and r. T. Whitehouse
OF Portland and A. E. Burr of Boston
were attorneys for Mr.. Cross.
