Bulgaria Staggers
Under War Costs
By .4Ssociated Press

Copenhagen, June Q. - Premier
Radoslavoff, of Bulgaria, arrived
last night in Berlin, accompanied by
Director Stojanoff, of the commits
sion on public debt. The presence
of NJ. Stojanoff is interpreted as
meaning that the Bulgarian pre-
mier's mission, in addition to a dis
cussion of peace terms with Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg and
Count Czernin, the Austrian foreign
minister, has to do with the German
subsidy to Bulgaria.
Germany has been advancing her
southern ally 40.00O,000 marks a
month. This sum is believed to be
inadequate to meet the increasing
war cost which Bulgaria, like the
other belligerents, is staggering un-
der.

Expect Fall of Lens

Expect Fall of Lens
Already the Arras battle, of which
this latest development is continu-
alton. has made serious inroads on
the major defenses of this region
The fall of Lens, the great coal city
just before the British lines at this
point, has long been conceded to be
only a matter of time.
The movement reported to-day ap-
parently means that this is near at
hand and that another great blow is
about to be struck towards clearing
the Germans from their long held
and much priced French possessions
in this area.
The success of the British in the
Lens operations may we'll have been
due in part to the necessity the Ger
mans had been under of making
heavy concentrations against the
British on the Belgian front 1t was

German counterattack on the ground

BAD BREATH
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.

and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
bv all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,

Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
Dr.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint with the
attendant bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
