Liberty Loan.

The liberty loan campaign is in full
cry and results are being achieved.
The chairman of the liberty loan com
mittee of the District has reported that
the loan subscriptions already booked
exceed $4,000 o00 The work of inform

means of addresses before public as

0ccocuan.

Sound judgment is displayed by the
District Commissioners in their ap-
proval of the recommendations of the
special committee of the board of chari-
ties in the matter of the Occoauan
charges to the effect that the inquiry
into conditions at that institution be
postponed until matters there have be-
. come more quiet and that Supt. Whit
taker be restored to his position. from
which he was relieved pending the in
vestigation. In the circumstances it
would have been unwise to prosecute this
inquiry at present. The charges were
brought by those who felt themselves
aggrieved by what appears to have been
the ordinary routine of management at
Oceoquan, who were there by reason of
their persistent defiance of the law and
who utterly failed to appreciate that
they were committed to a penal insti-
tuition, which is believed to be one of
the best managed of its kind in the
country. Supt Whittaker's restoration
to duty is only just action, as his sus-
pension was merely to permit an inquiry
without official embarrassment.
As a logical result of the action of
the committee of inquiry and the Com,
missioners is the order that the mill.
tant suffragists now held at Occoouan
be notified that if they do not obey the
rules of the institution and comport
themselves in spirit of subordination
they will be removed from that place
and held at the District Jail in soii.

More Night Schools Needed.

Washington's public school system is
highly efficient and serves the com
munity valuably. In one respect, how
ever, it can and should be improved.
The night schools should be extended
to afford educational facilities for 4
larger number of Young people than can
now be accommodated and for longer
period each year The Chamber of
Commerce the other night urged a de-
velopment along these lines, and its ae
tion should lead to a strong RECON-
mendation by the Commissioners in
their forthcoming report to Congress.
1t is especially urgent now that the
night schools be enabled to reach and
more thoroughly teach the large number
of persons who have been compelled to
go to work in the pressure of home
needs and to meet the requirements of
the government and the commercial es-
adjustments of the capital As never
before the service of boys and girls is
required in the hours heretofore devoted
to instruction. Many hundreds have
taken employment before completing
their education. If the night schools
are not enlarged and their period of ac-
tivity is not extended the city will suffer
seriously in the lack of training of these
young people.
During the past few years the night
schools of the District have made a rich
return on the investment III terms of
education of those who have had to go
to work before the school period usually
ends. The hundreds of boys and girls
who ordinarily would be continuing
their scholastic courses and are now
earning wages in consequence of the
war work must have an equal chance
with those who heretofore have enjoyed
the opportunity to study at night.
An extraordinary condition prevails.
and the case should be stated to Con-
gross with especial urgency, to open a
larger number of night schools, not
merely next year. bat Immediately. as
quickly IS provision can be made. These
are precious months that are now pass
ing, and the boys and girls who have
had to lay aside their books to fill the
vacancies in the departmental and com
mercial ranks should be given the earli
est possible chance to study and prepare
themselves for more important work
hereafter.

People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
ty 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.. F. M. 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
