STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take Dr.
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
II you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.

Guick relief, so you can eat what yon

DECLARES CHILE
Big WAR FACTOR
South American Army Officer
Says Nation Can Put 1oo,-
900 Men in Field.

Should Chile decide to enter the war
she could put 10000 highly trained hsht-
ing men in the field Immediately and
double that force within two weeks. ac-
cordinE TO Antonio Viera Gallo, an
officer in the Chilean army. now in
Washington.
Sehor Gallo, who is a nitrate depoHt
owner, came to the National Capltal on
a diplomatic mission.
He declines to say whether he oeiieves
Chile will enter the war on the sloe OF
the United States and the allies.
Chile is very friendly to the United
States" he said. much more SO tnan
before the American Government de-
clared a state Of war exists.
Senior Gallo said that with the possi-
BILE exception OF Argentina, all the eoun-
tries in South America are most friendly
toward the United States.
Argentina has so much German capi-
tai invested in her Industries that II
would be rather difficult for her to en-
ter the war on either side" said Senior
Gallo.
He Indicated that IL Chile became a
belligerent II would give quick ac-
count OF itself.
Compulsory military training has
built up a wonderful fighting army OF
highly trained men in Chile" he said.
by the time he Is twenty-eight years
old, each man in the country must un-
dergo military training. No exception
is made.
The son Of the president Of Chile is
now on his way from Italy to Chile for
training.
81 am an officer in the Chilean army,
and II my-country should declare war
1 would hurry home to take charge Ct
my command"
Senior Gallo said the United States
is making a mistake in spending s2o,-
OOO, 900 for a plant to extract nitrate
from the air.
"In our country" he said, ave know
that IL will not be practical, and that
the nitrate made from the air will
not be good for agricultural purposes,
nor for ammunition. II Government
of the United States would take that
500. .OO0, 900 and buy land in Chile II
would have all the nitrate II wanteds
The nitrate supplies OF Chile cannot
be exhausted for several hundred
years.
'Tt Is a mistake to think that Ger
man capital controls Chile. In 1909,
the last year for which we have
definite figures, the English produced
40 per cent Of the nitrate in Chile: the
Chilean government 50 per cent. and
the German government only IL per
