SEVERAL men
TALKED OF FOR
RAIL DIRECTOR
President Wilson's Decision
Regarding Problem Ex-
Rected About Monday.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Without any
reason for it apparent on the surface,
the impression grew today the Presi-
dent Wilson will settle the question of
how the government is to deal with
the railroad problem about Monday.
The president is still celebrating
over the various proposals h a have
been put before him-the government
operation or suspension Of anti-pool-
ing laws alternatives of the interstate
naming a federal administrator to
road arrangements and the confident
i assertion of the railroad war board
that the lines can handle the situation
themselves without certain changes
in government policy.
In considering the appointment of
a federal administrator or director it
is understood the president is occu-
pied chiefly with the question of who
the men should be. First on the list
has been Secretary Lane, whose know
ledge of railroad questions. is we'll
known because of his service on the
Interstate Commerce commission. AS
sociate Justice Brandeis OF the su-
preme court has been mentioned. and
he visit of Former Justice Charles E.
Hughes to the White House a few days
ago added him to the group Today
the name of Secretary McAdoo was
brought out, and the president was
said to be weighing the question
whether the head of the treasury de-
partment could be spared from the
tremendous ask of handling the ma
tons war financing.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tables-the substi.

These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects They don't injure the teeth like

of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why

Caomel sometimes plays havoc with the

to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
