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 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,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
Dr.. +. NJ. 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
per box. All druggists.

ASSEMBLY
WAS DERELICT
Federal Government Alone Was Not
to Blame for Lack Of Prepara-
ton in State in Civil
War.

The federal government alone was
not to blame for the unpreparedness
of the state of Iowa during the civil
war. While the government had ne
elected to provide proper arsenals and
forts and firearms to Iowans who were
willing to form into regular militia
companies most of the neglect can be
placed in the general assembly Of the
state.
AS early as five years before the
civil war the legislature had been ask
ed to authorize expenditures on mi
litia units. This effort was ridiculed
by the assemblymen. Various COM
mittees of the assembly made reports
on military situations of the state but
all were more or less in frivilous
terms. One of these reports said that
"the arms Of the state were troops
in safe preservation somewhere
where the committee hopes they would
remain.
Another report recommended ITO
organize efficiently a mass of state
troops" all persons under one year Of
age should be enrolled as infantry
that persons engaged in lobbying
should be engaged as miners and sap
pers and those disposed to ride high
horse should be enrolled as dragons.
Thus the pacitsts of sixty years ago
drifted light-heartedly into the custom
of overlooking the necessities of pre-
pairing the state for the battles which
its sons finally fought and won.

How Women Can Help.

Within a few days a committee OF
women in every ward in the city will
visit some Of the homes in every
ward in the interest of the Liberty
bonds. They will explain the meth
cd of payment and other details.
Mable T. Boardman Of the American
Red Cross society, has issued this
letter explaining why women should
feel an interest in the Liberty loan:
Never in history has such suffering
been caused by war as at the present
day. Millions Of men have been kill
ed or wounded and millions In one
form or another crippled for life.
The progress that had been made
toward the elimination of tuberculosis
has been checked and the white
plague is adding it's hundreds Of
thousands of victims to the numbers
of slain.
Millions of innocent, helpless old
men. women and little children have
suffered. and multitudes of them have
died in massacres or from famine and
disease.
To all this physical suffering must
be added the mental anxiety and dis
tress of hundreds of millions Of peo-
pies whose nations are engaged in
this fearful strife. The sum total of
human misery, death, destruction

churchrnen Unite In Asking Food

in the State of
Iowa.
ARE EXPECTING SUPPORT
suooestion is Made That People of
Church DO Not Forget Food
Pledge Cards Which
Are Delivered.

Work is being pushed at the Deems
Headquarters at Burlington. There is
new york almost every day. Recently
letters went out to 1000 ministers Of
the Christian church. In a day or
two letters will be sent to Methodist
and Presbyterian ministers.
A brief letter to the Catholic clergy
was sent out. 1t was written by
Bishop Bowling, and the other bishops
added their signatures, or ordered the
affxing of their signatures, by tele-
phone. 1t is the first time in the his
tory of the conservation movement,
that anything of the kind has been
done by the bishops. The four bishops
expressed themselves in enthusiastic
language and were pleased to be able
TO be of benefit, and will be glad to
further the good work in any manner
that appears possible. Ralph Logs
don secured the original letter and
the signatures of the other bishops.
I
The Letter.
The letter from the four bishops Of
Iowa, which was sent to $40 priests in
the state yesterday, follows:
Reverend Dear Sir: The federal
food administration is seeking the
cooperation of every householder IN
the country for the conservation OF
food against the peril of world famine
A famine at this time w5ti1d lay an
other frightful burden on the CALLED
shoulders of humanity. 1t would not
as some think, end war, but profong
It, 1t would intensity the sufferings
of all the fighting nations, especially
of the non-combatantS of every coun-
try. 1t can and must be avoided.
The government could manage this
with strong hand by the comman-
deering of supplies, by the control of
cultivation, by the imposition of ra
lions on the civil population. If it
fails in the present campaign, it may
be forced to do so. Now, however, 1t
seeks to arouse the people to the dan
ger of food shortage, to enlist every
voluntary cooperation in meeting \ it
and to prescribe the necessary
changes in the diet of every house
hold
Campaign is Recommended.
TO attain definite results, it has or
sanized in every county of Iowa
loou peldge card campaign which Will
end on October rs. Then the cards
Will be sent to Washington and the
success or failure of this system,
which could be tried only among a
highly intelligent and patriotic peo-
PIE, Will be definitely determined.
In these matters we have no
thought that our Catholic people need
any directions from us in the dis.
charge of their civic duties or in
Their understanding OF the obliga-
lions which patriotism imposes upon
them. But since we have been asked
70 DO SO we cordially recommend this
campaign to all the Catholics Of Iowa,
requesting the clergy to use every
suitable occasion between this and
me close of the campaign to bring
thls matter to the attention of their
congregations and to urge housewives
