Vessel from Cutsa Rams a Steamship From South
 America.

New York, May 3.-A heavy fog yesterday. just outside the Ambrose channel, was responsible for col lision between a steamship from Cuban port and one from a South American port, and for time con- siderable excitement prevailed among the 106 passengers, including forty Chinese, who were aboard the Cuban steamship
 Thoughts of German submarines and torpedoes added to the nervous ness of the passengers, who crowded about the officers of the steamship while the Chinese, partly dressed. gesticulated wildly and were only claimed after great effort
 The crash of ships occurred as the Cuban vessel was nosing her way slowly through. the fog off Sandy Hook A freight steamship carrying a cargo of 1000 tons, was anchored outside the channel waiting for the fog to lift. Suddenly the Cuban steamship lloomed up on the star board bow of the freight vessel and the steamships crashed together.
 The slow movement of the Cuban steamship lessened the force of the crash, 'thes-6ew plates of the freight steamship being but slightly dented. The captain of thes Cuban vessel halt ed his steamship and inquired the ex- tent of the damage ,o
 | When assured there was no serious damage, the steamship continued on her course. The shock, however, aroused the passengers. and they hurried to the deck. hurried ex- animation of the steamship showed she had escaped damage. The forty Chinese are on their way back to China

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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are 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
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 injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calome1.
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 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-

Sure! High Heels
Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle UP their tender
toes in high heel footwear they suffer
from coIns. then they cut and trim at
these painful pests which merely
makes the corn grow hard. This
suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and
women are warned to stop it.
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for
quarter of an ounce of freezone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet.
This drug is an ether compound
and dries in a moment and simply
shrivels up the corn without inflam-
ing or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. Clip this out and pin
on your Wife'S dresser.
