sufficiently serious 10 warrant the
speeding up TO full capacity and the
operation day and night of every
means of transportation in the posses
sion of every freight-carrying agency
in the United States by members of

War Needs Are Put First
II was announced that the committee.
as the result of the first days DELHI
erations, had taken immediate action
on several matters calculated TO de
vote the entire facilities of the Eastern
roads to the handling of the traffic
essential TO the winning of the war"
The first resolution adopted provided
that all lines reaching the eastern At
lantic seaboard be instructed to erl-
barge at once all export steel billetS,
bars, plates, scrap and pig iron, except
that for the United States government,
and that any existing permits be can
celled.
No permits are to be issued for these
articles except by specific authority OF

tatives of our allies TO the end that all
rail transportation be limited TO that
traffic for which overseas transport
tion Is available.
Freight Embargo Decreed

perishable foods from Chicago and St.
Louis and points west, eastbound, and
from Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, westbound, passing

bargoed and diverted to the lines north

er opportunity for the use of existing
facilities for freight traffic through the
Pittsburgh territory.
In order to conserve power and trans
portation capacity required for war es-
sentials, the movement Of freight traffic
Of fast or reduced tonnage rating was
suspended and an order made that all
such freight be hereafter operated %

BETTER Than CAl0MEl
Thousands Have Discovered. DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute

DR.. 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 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
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-
its lOc and Csc box. All druggists.
