Edwards Olive Tablets arc
q Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitutc for calomel-are 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
calomel. His efforts to hanisk it brought
out these little oliye-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? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomet. 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
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" elouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spir-
lis. l0c and 2sc box. All Druggists.

about 250 feet longer than the newest
battleships of the American navy. 1t
is understood that the beam of the
new battle cruisers will be about ninety
seven feet The extreme length Of
these vessels Is necessary to provide
room for the powerful machinery to be
installed to propel the cruisers at a
high rate Of speed. and at the same
time to provide for the heavy arma-
mont OF ten 14-inch guns and the
armor belt Of about eight inches
thickness to be carried by the cruisers.
These cruisers will be built along spe-
cial lines. sharp in their prows, to en-
able them to make high speed with
their powerful machinery, and the
lines for ieruisers have been carefully
worked out in the model tank at the
Washington navy yard, under the d.
rection of David w. Taylor, chief naval
constructor, who designed the new
cruisers.
If there are vessels of this type built
or under construction abroad the naval
intelligence bureau is not aware of 1T.

Nevada, Oct. IS. HELD up by a band
of Chinese bandits and made to face
the barrel of d gun for twenty minutes
at one time and being thrown into a
walled city which was being looted by
an army of thousands Of mut!nous
brigands for hours was the terrifying
experience Of DR.. A. c. Selmon and
Frederick Lee, two missionaries, ac-
cording to word received by friends in
this city.
DR.. Selmon, who is known in Nevada
and is a native Iowan, is superinteno-
ent Of the missionary operations OF the
Seventhday Adventists in North China

Lee is director of the Honan Mission OF
the Adventists and is native mis-
sionary. They were travelling in a
cart from Yung Cheng, Honan, into
Shen Shi. an interior province. On
the trip they met bands of robbers five
different times and each time were
held up at the point of guns.
After several thrilling experiences
they were thrown into the hands of the
robber chief. He took charge of them
and promised them protection and es-
cort into the walled city Of Tung-kuan'
where they gained admission and the
protection Of soldiers for a time. but
when the army of brigands came the
soldiers fed and the missionaries with
the people Of the city were left to the
mercy Of the cut-throats.
While endeavoring to escape thru
the gate of the city their lives were
threatened again and for time 1t
looked as tho they were encountering
their last experience on earth when
the chief of the robbers again found
them and secured them egress from
the city of pillage and an escort to
safety.
