Che COLLEGE, Board Ratifies Plan Of Con.
seidatins With Leander Clark.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Oct. 10.-The proposed
basis for the consolidation of Leander
Clark College at Toledo, with Coe Col
lege. at Cedar Rapids, was approved
at the meeting of the board of Coe COL
lege Tuesday morning. Details for
effecting the plan will be worked out
by a Joint committee Of the two col
leges
The union OF the two colleges would
mean the abandonment OF the campus
and buildings at Leander Clark. The
endowment from the college would be
preserved in separate fund from that
of Coe and the interest would pay the
salaries of five or six Instructors who
would be added to Coe College.
There are generally about 100 stu
dents at Leander Clark tho this year
the attendance is reduced. Coe has
over 500 in normal times. This union
would mean decided increase in the
student body in after years.
One OF the plans proposed is to erect
a separate building. the funds to be
raised by special campaign, which
would house what is to be known as
education" Of Coe College Nothing
definite has been done as yet, and it
will take some time to carry out the
plans even after the satisfactory ar
are made

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

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calonel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver IS
almost instantaneous. They are the result
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 calomel. 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
q disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and

The games OF Saturday did little
toward disclosing the strength of con-
tenders for the high school football
championship Of Iowa beyond demon
stating the strength of East and West
Des Moines elevens. Easts one-sided
scored against East Waterloo may or
may not prove that the Des Moines as-
.gregation Is Of state championship
caliber, but as the Waterloo eleven was
reputed to be fully rs strong as that OF
year ago, 1t would appear that the
Des Moines warriors were to be reck
oned with. Comparing the score with
that OF last years meeting, 1t shows
conclusively that the Des Moines LADS
have a great advantage
Vests victory. altho not so i'm
pressive. is sufficient to demonstrate
the strength of the capital city boys
as their opponent, West Waterloo. wac
regarded as a contender worthy Of the
best aggregations In the state
Iowa City won its second game OF
the year. defeating West Liberty an
eleven which has been showing IN
four years. Marshalltown's victory
over Grinnell proved nothing, as no
great effort was made by the locals TO
pile up a score. the first half belns
devoted exclusively to puntins the
Marshalltown score fell short OF that
piled up by Iowa City against Grinneil
the week before by six points, but the
result might be taken to indicate that
Marshalltown and Iowa City at the
present time are about on even footins.
Dubuque scored victory over DaV-
export by narrow margin. but as
neither team was in the running q year
ago. the result of Saturdays game
fails TO indicate the strength OF the
opposing elevens. Reports from Daven-
port, however Indicate that the game
was one of the best ever staged on
Davenport gridiron.
Clinton has failed to show it's old
time form and is not seriously con-
sidered as a factor in the champion
ship fight, and Fort Dodge has shown
nothing as yet to justify the belief that
it's eleven is to be rated with that OF
last year.
Mason City, on its showing in its
opening rames, must be considered as
one of the really strong teams OF tho
year. Altho II Is conceded that the
opposition was weak, 1t Is remarkable
that team should exceed 100 points
in each OF its first two games.

Review Of Sports
and Athletic News

according to Coach Tollefson. The
necessity of sorimmage was greatly in
evidence in the st. Ambrose game last
Saturday, the new men of the team
having faced practically no opposition
this fall.
The hospital squad has not yet re-
duced in numbers but 1t Is probable
that some Of the injured men will have
sufficiently recovered by Saturday to
get into the game. pimit, who played
at end q short time Saturday, severely
strained his shoulder which was Just
beginning to heal, and probably will be
out for two weeks. Rafrety, who was
slated for the left wing, is still on
clutches, and Smith, at tackle, can not
get into scrimnlage this week due to
a bad hip The rest Of the team came
thru the opening game in good condi-
tion.
The uncertainty in the backheld and
on the wing positions makes 1t i'm
possible for local enthusiasts to pick
a probable lineup.

White Sox diamond was occupied by

From tho time the former Des

Madison.-The people of Wisconsin
will have up before them for decision
at the spring election in 1918 the I'M
portant question of prohibition, the
Evjue bill having passed the senate
without any amendment. The half
dozen attempts to change the bill
were voted down and the measure
came through in it's original form. The
bill has already been through the as
sembly and was only put through the
senate after a hard fight. 1t now goes
to the governor, and it is believed that
it will have his approval.
Amendments to compensate the
brewery workers in case the state went
dry, to prohibit the sale of drugs con-
tanning alcohol were voted down. The
vote ON passage was q to IL. The
crucial test on the bill came on the
Burke amendment to fix the date OF
holding the election in April, 1920. This
was defeated by a vote of IL to 10.
BY 46 to Is vote, on motion of AS
semblyman w. T.. Smith of Milwaukee,

priating $4,000 annually in the build
ing Of armOries. Assemblyman e. A.

called upon to build barracks and for
that reason he was against the armory
bill appropriation.

A few drops of this new ether COM

This new way to rid ones feet of
