BETTER Than CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are 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 hive 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 witt 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

its. l0c and 25c box. All druggists.

Blames Mules for
Fatal Salt Water
Bath of Gold Fish

There is one family of gold fish in
Omaha that is extinct today. And it
all happened because bunch of mules
in Missouri chose to entice Jack
Massey, donkey dealer, from his usual
haunts. Here is the story:
Massey spent the greater pa of the
last month in various parts of Mis-
souri, buying up such lots OF mules
as he came across. After days of
tedious travelling he finally reached the
limits of his buying power and
brought his lot of hind kicks" to the
South Side.
On the morning of his arrival, last
Friday, he bethought himself of tele-
phoning to his wife like the dutiful
husband he is. 1t so happened that
his wife was giving the family gold
fish their usual salt water bath. At
this moment the telephone rang and
hubby was on the wire.
We'll, I'm back home" he called
across the miles between Twenty.
fourth and NJ streets and 1923 Spencer
street. "Hows wife"
very WE'LL" Mrs. Massey, answered
and they became engaged in long
conversation.
Meanwhile the salt became active
in particular fish jar on the sitting
room table. Mrs. Massey neglected
to think of the fish for quite while.
but when she did she discovered that
all Of her beauties had sought pools
unknown. They were dead.
Them blamed mules did it" Massey
told a friend afterward.

Beatrice Citizen Finds Thrills
ApIenty in This Thriving City

A year ago Frank Simon of Beatrice
came to Omaha at the end of harvest
time with 500 and desire which led
him to the flowing bowl, and he
landed in tht arms of the law.
When he sobered up, his money was
returned to him and Frank was nearly
paralyzed with astonishment. "The
police are nice gentlemen" he said.
Last night he came to Omaha
When night came, he sought the po-
lice station alley. In his sleep he
howled horribly. A trusty in the jail
soused him with a pail of water,
throwing it through window. Frank
came in and gave the police piece Of
his mind, in which he amended his
statement of year ago, but he didn't
get away with it.
He was locked up to cool off, or
rather, warm up, sine. he was nearly
frozen from the effect of the cold
water. The trusty who threw the
water is no longer a trusty.

REDUCE COAL PRICE
FIRST OF OCTOBER
Fuel Administrator An.
nounces u. S. Will Act by
That Time
WARNS AGAINST A PANIC

Further advice for Philadelphians on the
Harry 4. Garfield. National Coal Admins
traitor in Washington.
Philadclphans certainly should not buy
any coal that they do not need absolutely
for the neNt few weeks at least. Doctor
Garfield said Prices will be lowered on
the first of october. he announced
Prominent coal dealers in this city re-
fused to make any comment on the state
ment of Doctor Garfield that coal will
be for sale at lower rates next month.
III we can get the coal from the mines
cheaper. II is a certainty that the con-
sumer will get cheaper prices" said one
wholesale coal dealer.
Doctor Garfield issued a warning against
coal panic. Hc said:
THE people should bear in mind that I
will confer with the President az soon as
he gets back to Washington about the high
pric, Of coal. ! still say that the consumers
will get their coal neNt month at a reduced
and reasonable figure. There is no need
Of plunging hcadlong into this problem, for
il will be worked out satisfactorily.
- want TO say at this time that 7 am
not attaching the dealers All | ask on their
part Is fair play TO the public, and / will see
that they get fair play in return. BY the
first of next month everything will be ar
ranged and all our plans will be in opera
ton. 7 again say that coal prices will be
lowered to a reasonable figure to the con-
sunler and there will be enough of it to go
around
Consumers must not, however, become
foolish about the present situation. If they
keep their heads. everything will come all
right. J give assurance of this. They
should buy coal this month If they need it.
OF course, they should get it as cheap az
they can. But they should not, however.
buy more than they need. I am quoted as
saying that I advise people not to buy Goa.
at exorbitant figures did not say that.
said they should buy only as much coal as
they actually need at this time and trust TO
the Government to assure them of their
future supplies at reasonable rates.
"A panic over coal will lead TO CON-
ditions similar to those in Germany at the
beginning of the war. Americans made a
rush to get out of Germany. They paid
high prices to travel and went 10 great

Those who kept cool were sent away in

provided for them. and everything went
along smoothly. There was a panic then.

is there any reason for apprehension or

LABOR DEMANDS WORRY
FUEL ADMINISTRA TION
WASHINGTON. Sept. I,

Labor today loomed UP as the most veX-
ing problem in the coal situation. DIR. Harry
A. Garfield, coal administrator, found HIM
self face to face with a labor situation
which threatens to tie up the coal industry
in the United States.
Retail prices seem to be in a fair way
toward settlement Distribution is prob
lem which can be met by whipping the
railroads in,o line. Production can he
forced if necessary by governmental COM
Wandering of mines. Labor alone stands
as the one factor which the Government
cannot whip into line-men cannot be made
to work. Whether the situation will reach
a crisis none OF the officials in the coal ad-
mnistratiou would say, although they adj
nit that the labor situation is a ''veXing
problem
Middle western miners have presented
demands to the coal administration. Ken
lucky miners to the extent of some 10000
already are on strike. In other coal fields
there is a great unrest and tendency
toward making large demands for in
creased wages
Doctor Garfield has turned the problem
very largely over to John p. White. presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. Mr.. White. as a representative of the
miners and a member OF the coal admins
tration. will attempt to appease the pro-
testing parties Miners have already placed
their case before Mr.. White and have made
demands for increases in wages to meet
the rising living costs" AS q representative
Of the mine workers White knows the situa-
ton in the individual fields and it is hoped
that he Will be able to reach an amcable
settlement of wage disputes. so that Amer
ica's coal supply will not be hampered
Employers have made demands upon the
Government. II is generally understood
that mine operators have told Doctor Gar
field that the fixed prices are not sufficient
to meet rising demands for wages. They
declare that since the Government has fixed
the price Of coal it is up to the Government
to meet the demands for increased wages
They ask subsidy from the Government
or else that the Government pay tbs differ
ence in wages on all Of its coal.
The labor demands are steadily being
pushed FORWARD by the coal operators as
reason for a revision Of the fixed coal
prices. State coal administrators yet to
be named will be asked to investigate labor
conditions and it is most probable that the
situation will not be met until they have
made a final report.
At all odds the coal administration is de-
termined to produce coal at a reasonable
price. Every instrument of the Govern
ment will be used to this enc; ; but labor
presents a factor which cannot be forced
by Government action.
