RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets, the substitute for calomel.
DIR. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and calomeps old-time en-
envy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid llvers.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calonel, but healing, sooth-
ing vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver TO act
normally. They never force them TO
unnatural action.
If you have a clark brown mouth"
now and then--a bad breatli--a dull,
tired feeling - sick headache - torpid
liver and are constipated, you'll find
quick, sure and only pleasant results
from one or two little DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.

night Just to keep right. Try them.

said Major James 3. Kitch, superin-

Cole Hands Down Opinion
In Trail County
Case

Judge A. T. Cole, of the district
court, in an opinion handed down this
afternoon in the case of .. S. Rondeau
and j. o. Jenson vs.. Joseph N. Olson,
Henry Olson and Enoch olson, all OF
Trail county, denies the specific per-
Torrance asked by the plaintiffs.
The court holds that to enforce spe-
cific performance, a contract must be
certain definite and capable OF being
enforced by the court in all of its
terms.
In this case, involving an alleged
transaction in Trail county lands
amounting to three-quarters of sec
ton for a building known as the
Overland rink, consideration $4,000
less a certain mortgage of $1,000, the
court holds that this provision does not
state what notes are to be secured
nor the date of their maturity nor the
rate of interest, all of which Is unde-
termined by the written memorandum
contract, and which said contract aid
not advise Enoch Olson and Joseph Oh
son of the nature Of the deal, and that
Henry Olson believed the security to
be on land near Mayville.

Washington, May 26.-"The coolest
and bravest officer I ever saw under

man who will lead the first American
troops on an European battlefield, Ma

was furnished by his commanding
officers.
First, when he was fresh from West
Point and commanded a company pur-
suing Geronimo and again when in
command of the negro troops in the
Cuban campaign. But promotion was
slow until President Roosevelt in 1906,
jumped him over the heads of 826 other
officers and made him a brigadier gen.
eral-a record which still stands in the
geographically because Of his work
in the Philippines.
One of the most dif1cult tasks Of Gem
eral Pershing's. career was subjugat-
ing the Moros and it fitted him for his
later test in Mexico pursuing Villa and
rendering the border safe.
MingIing of Dash and Poise.
A rare mingling of the dashing lead
er of men and the impartial, imper-
sonal executive is General Pershing,
and, during his ten years in the de-
partment of Arizona, he time after time
showed the dauntless courage that won
him praise, first from General Miles
in the Geronimo campaign and later
General Carr. g..

His next post was back at West

Tenth cavalry. A little later he was
at Ell Caney directing his men in the

Once tragedy entered the private life
of General Pershing. His wife. and
three OF his four children persisted in

General John Joseph Pershing is a
native of Missouri, having been born in
