substitute for calomel, act gently on
the bowels and positively do the
work.
People afflicted with bad breath
find quick relief through DIR. Ed
wards Olive Tablets. The pleasant,
sugar.coated tablets are taken for

Awards for Concessions
by This Evening.
$4,000 TO KEEP ORDER

Congress having adopted the joint
resolution permitting the use of public
spaces for the erection of stands during
the inaugural period, officials Of the
inaugural committee today began con-
sideration of bids for the concessions
along Pennsylvania avenue. Chairman
Robert n. Harper said the award of the
concessions probably would be made
late this afternoon. MIR. Harper and
John B. Colpoys, chairman of the COM
mittee on reviewing stands and privi-
leges, spent about two hours this
morning going over the bids.
The award of these concessions could
not be made until Congress granted the
right to build the stands on public
spaces. Although officials of the in
augural committee We're confident that
this permission would be granted, they
did not feel justified in entering into
any contracts until the joint resolution
was adopted.
Chairman Harper said he would make
a determined effort to make the awards
this afternoon. for he realizes that little
time remains to build the stands and
that the purchas erS of the concessions
will need every minute between now
