BETTER THAN CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
q Harmless Substitute

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver 10
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit OF Or. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to hanish it brought
out these little olivc-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that .calomcl 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? Caiomel
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
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-
its. lOc and Csc box. All druggists.

The Grain Bag
Situation In 1916

The total number of grain bags
bought in Calcutta to date for use on
the Pacific coast is estimated by bag
men at not to exceed 100000. Last
year the total importations on the
coast we're 55,OOO,OOO bags. There is
very small carry-over stock from
last year, if further purchases Of bags
will be necessary or other methods Of
handling grain provided, even with a
smaller crop, which it is now thought
may be 20 per cent less than that Of
1915.
In the meantime, practically no busi'
ness is passing in the bag market. Buy.
ers in the country are holding back and
sellers are not trying to force bust.
ness. The nominal quotation of Wal
Ia Walla is 10 cents. No local bags are
on sale, but that is the estimated cost
of laying them down from Seattle or
some other center.
There has been much interest in tne
trade in the affairs OF the steamer
King Malcolm. The vessels was char
tered to bring 32O0O,000 yards of bur
lap 10 this coast to be made into bags.
Then the British authorities requisition-
ed ber at Calcutta and ordered the
cancellation Of the charter, on toe
grounds that steamer Of that size should
not be sent 50 far away from the
sphere Of possible military needs. As
