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

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DIR. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banisn 1t 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 calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
al the expense of the teetha Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. II is best not to
take calomei, but to let DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness and that
law feeling come from constipation and

Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy and

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS.

London, June 22-(By Union Asso-
Gle ted Press)-The eyes of Europe are
on Spain. Although a strict censor
ship has been inaugurated, it is COM
mon knowledge that a revolution Is
not an im%rrobability. No N realizes
the true condition of things more clear
Nv than does King Alfonso and ne IS
doing all in his power to quiet the
disturbing powers. Alfonso, unlike
other rulers, does not approve OF OPP
pressive measures, because he knows
that they are effectual only for a short
tire. He is trying to get in toucn
with leaders of various factions which
oppose the government in order to
placate them. The hope Of delay lies
largely in the fact that the leaders
ar, unable to agree among themselves
pom what they want.
Switzerland is an ideal place for the.
de 3osed King Constantine of Greece,
to make his residence. 1t is reported
that there is no country in Europe in
which there is a greater number OF
German spies and these, no doubt, Will
lose no time in getting in touch with
Tho, as he is Familiarity called. The
Kaiser has promised Constantine that
he will be restored to his throne, but
no one believes it except, perhaps the
Kaiser and Constantine.
Recent statistics published in France
give little comfort to the prohibition
lists in their fight against demon rum.
They show that: The Gar Nicholas
forbade the sale of alcohol in Russia;
he is now a prisoner at Tsaraskoe-
Selo. M. BRAND, the French Premier,
manifested a desire to suppress the
sale of alcohol in France; he has re-
signed. M. Malvy, Minister of Fin
ance, assured private distillers of their
privilege to distil alcohol at home; he
is now Prime Minister. Whatever con-
ncction these may be between the var
ious items, the paragraph at least
shows that the censorship, under the
present Ministry, has greatly relaxed
its severity as it assuredly would not
have been allowed under the previous
Ministry.

Stockholm, June 22-Four hundred
mines have exploded or been fished up
on the coast of Scotland since the war
began. Seventy-fve of them came
ashore on a ffteen-mile stretch OF
coast. Nobody has been hurt BY the
explosions, with the exception that
some lives were lost just off the coast
by the blowing up of the steamer
Rumina. One peasant on the southern
extremity of the eastern coast, whose
house is at the waters edge, has ex-
Eerienced four explosions under his
very caves but neither he nor any one
OF his family has been hurt.

FARM BOOKKEEPING.
- u ~

Who ever thought a farmer had time Tor book
keeping? Up in the wee small hours working IKE
a drag horse all day long, one would THINK tnat
this part of the farm work would be sadly neglect
cd. and so it has been until Uncle Samuel sent
around his agents to show Mr.. Farmer how easily
he could do it and what an advantage 1t was 10
him if he did.
First the agent goes to a farm community say
of 600 farms, and takes stock so to speak. he
finds what the investment is, what Part is IN lana
and buildings, and what PAL is in live Stock ma
chinery, supplies, etc. Ther he looks to the pro-
d,,ct;on. and also counts in I depreciation OF eV-
ervthinp. and from this 81 kes an average Tor
each farmer.
The individual farmer is hen looked attc' ard
it will be seen that it is con-. ~arativcly easy 70 tell
why some prosper and some don't. The les pro-
6uctiye farmer is shown by he agent Just Wnere
he is making his mistake az how he can remedy
them.
Uncle Sam furnishes the farmer with blanks
which he can fill out and send to the Department
Of Agriculture. Where the specialists in the Office
of farm management are able to help Mr.. Farmer
long after the agent has moved on to another ter
ritory.
, Any farmer interested in finding about ms
costs and what his profits should be can get all
the information free by sending to the Division OF
Publications, U. S. Department Of Agriculture 1o1
