BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels
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
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly ON the .bpwelst aud 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,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
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
color. Take one or two every night for
a week and note the effect. 10c and Csc

TO urge an immediate assembling OF Congress and a

that no city viii surpass Wilmington and that no state
will surpass Delaware in depth Of loyalty Of feeling
and heartiness OF support.
Three more American ships have been sunk by Ger
man submarines In violation OF international law, in
absolute disregard OF American rights, in defiance Of
American warnings
At this writing It is not known exactly how many

loss OF life

credit is due to Germany.

There is no getting away from the plain facts OF

and Germany.
Germany is striking just fast and just hard
she can.

every American ship that she with utter disregard

Both national honor ana national safety demand that
the United States faces the situation with courage

It is not enough that merchant ships so

We must at once begin aggressive warfare against
German submarines with the full power of the navy
backed by the whole strength Of the nation
The war is now and the the United States
recognizes it officially and begins tight. the sooner
It will be over, because the Germans have carried
their provocative work to extremes which are intoer-

For fory-three years Dr. Honecker has been engaged
in ministerial work Fortyone OF those years he spent

is looked upon today as one OF the ablest and most
popular members Of the Wilmington Conference. His

Editorial Opinion
DO no INJUSTICE To THE
FOUR BROTHERHO0DS
CFrom the New York SUM.

(frOm the New lOlh ounJ'
The United States conducts its
business today by virtue Of the good
nature OF the four railroad brother
hoods. The chiefs OF these organiza-
tlons consented on Saturday not to
paralyze the transportation systems
before this evening; there is hope
that they may cOncede something
more before the time limit fixed by
them expires.
But whatever they do concede will
be in the nature OF a boon granted by
the all powerful four hundred thou
sand to the helpless hundred million.
1t must not be looked upon as tho
fruit of weak obedience TO obligations
as the fulhlment OF a duty. On the
other hand the brotherhood chiefs
have made il plain that no mean con-
Germ for the safety. 10 say nothing OF
the comfort and convenience, OF their
unfortunate fellow citizens can sway
them from their course. They are en-
gaged IN a strictly business enter
prise. in the prosecution Of which no
triviality like the food supply can win
their attention.

THE SUBMARINE MENACE

The destructive capacity Of the Ger

incredible labor Of two clever Eng

lenses and illuminate every sector OF

The great advantage this is to the
submarine in travelling submerged is

But. as in all things emanating
from the human brain. this improved

II is stated that nothing IS more try

ing limitations are met with. The
submarine submerged travels at the
rate OF FIVE or s'X knots an hour. the
aeroplane at the rate Of mile q

to reduce speed in the air3hip and
hover as one can see the fishing

II is the adaptation Of means TO an
end that eventually becomes the op-
posite controlling factor TO something
previously done. The weak point in
the modern armored warship is the
fragile underbody. The Germans
knew this, and were clever enough to
supplement their own native talent
with experiments other nations were
making with complex problems OF
submarine construction until they
evolved something that I'm piercing

is not so portontous if like can be
produced to meet like otherwise there
is no estimating the damage that can
be done, or will be done.

A FAIRER MEASURE PROPOSEp.

ID RACTICAIsLY everyone in Wilmington admits that
an abutting paving law is needed for Wilmington
Many miles OF streets in our city without any
paving whatever many other miles are in need OF re-
paving and expensive repairs.
Unless an abutting paving law be enacted the sec
tons affected disadvanageously by existing conditions

and should have
The mistake made in past years by advocates Of an
abuting paving law has been that they have sought
to put through the Legislature bill so unfair TO prop
erty owners in the sections Of the city that it
not only aroused the vehement protest and uncom-
promising opposition OF such property owners. but
also lined up with them majority Of the fair
minded property in the older sections OF our
city.
II is pleasing to note that a farer abuttng paving
bill has been sent to Dover this week. AS we said

which conferred benefits that could

ioyed. Had they only stuck to their
plan and called strike. they thought,
they could have got everything and at
once!
II was this view OF the matter
which determined their action " re-
newing the order to strike.
How largely the threat was a colos-
sal bluff will never be known, because
the strike has been cancelled. There
will be no showdown. and. despite the
national peril to which the attempted
strike would have exposed the coun-
try, IL is almost TO be regretted that
it was not entered upon. For had the
strike begun It would have been an
utter failure from the outset. Vital
communication would have been un-
interruptedly maintained and 25 per
cont of the members of the brother
hoods would have remained at work.
\ The power OF the four men who were
ready to barter the patriotism Of their
! 100000 followers for a % per cent.
raise in wages would have been
broken forever.
Public thanks for the peaceful out
come are due only to the railway ex-
ecutives. The last minute mediation
effected by the members Of the Coun-
ell OF National Defence could not. in
: tho nature Of the case, settle the equi-
ties Of the dispute. AS for the Presi-
dent, he must regret bitterly that
from the consequences OF his initial
mistake OF last fall he has had to be
rescued by the voluntary action Of the
very men he then denounced and pub
licly declared to be to blame for the
