STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause OF the ailment-clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.

AMERICAS COMMISSIONERS.

The announcement that Americas rep

vey the impression that interests of the
United States will be adequately present.
ed at this most important gathering, nor
will the announcement give any satisfac-
ton to the country, irrespective OF pr
tisan association of alignment. Col. Hose
is President Wilson's CLOSEST friend and
most trusted adviser" as the semi official
despatch from Washington puts it. That
is his only claim to consideration and the
only known qualification he possesses to
merit this high trust and responsibility.
He is Texas politician, man who &C
quired large fortune in some way and
| who, in the early days of President Will
sons struggle for the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Presidency, came forward
to, support him with his means and his
influence, when such support was much
needed. Col. House has never been elect
ed to public office of any kind. Even his
military title is one of courtesy. He is
man of mystery and silence; man who
performed miracles in the administration
without disclosing his movements or his
aims; the power behind the throne, as it
were, in a government which is supposed
to be free from both the throne and such
mysterious influences He does not speak
any of the languages which will be used
at the council of the Allies, with the ex-
ception of English, and he makes very
little use of that He is not schooled in
the law; has had no military training or
experience, is not financier, nor is he
supposed to be very familiar with bust
ness of any kind, beyond that in which
! by fortunate investment he secured his
fortune. So far as known Col. House is
not a statesman in any sense of the term.
He cannot possibly be expected to COM
prehend the great issues of the war; the
steps which must be taken to unity into
comprehensive action the entire strength
of the Allied nations His experience
cannot command the unreserved conf
dence of the skilled diplomats, states
men, soldiers, sailors, tinanciers and men
of affairs with whom he will now meas
with all the wealth of intelligent, expert
enced and well-schooled men America
has available it is little short of blunder
to employ man such as Col House upon
such a mission as this. We feel that the
country as a whole will resent it and
regard it as a deplorable mistake.-Port-

COMMUNITY MARKETING.

If farmers would realize that the an
nual value of the country's egg crop is
equal to average value of its annual wheat
crop-approximately 5000, 900, 600 - and
that nearly 8 per cent of the eggs mar
keted are lost through spoilage or break
age, the industry undoubtedly would be
put on a more businesslike basis. I'm
proper handling between the farm and
the market is responsible for large part
of the loss. This loss could be greatly
decreased if farmers would cooperate
more generally and market their eggs
through community egg circles. These
organizations take care of the frequent
collection anG the proper packing and
marketing of the eggs of members, at
tend to accounting and making collec-
tons, establish standards, encourage the
raising of better breeds of poultry, the
use of improved methods, and the pro-
duction of infertile eggs.
A bulletin which tells farmers how
to 60 about the formation of COM
munity egg circle, and prints suggested
constitution and bylaws for such an or
ganization, may be had free, as long as
the supply lasts, by application to the

ture, Washington, D. c.

MAY SHIP DEER TO SOLDIERS

Many of the boys in KHAKI from the
State of Maine have been in the habit
when the open season on big game arriv-
ed, of taking their trusty rifles and hieing
themselves to the "big" woods, after a
deer 1t has been such a habit with
them that now in the military camps in
other States and far removed from the
haunts of the deer and the home tables
from which they were accustomed to
lick the platter clean" of deer steaks
and venison roasts, they sadly miss it
and have written home, yea these many
times, telling how they wished they could
have some deer meat from Maine.
This fact came to the attention of
Chairman Harry B. Austin, who thought
with the soldier boys, that it was too bad
that they should be deprived of their VEN
lson. The laws regarding the shipment
of deer is very strict. Deer cannot be
legally shipped from the State by resi-
dent, except that he may take one each
season which he has legally in his pos
session, out of the State, provided that
he accompany and identify it at the in
spection station.
Now, to ease the situat ton and to take
oil that longing for deer of the boys,
Chairman Austin has recently issued tags
IN several instances where relatives in
Maine desired to ship deer to enlisted
men in the cantonments at Aver and
WeSttleld, Mass, and in order that the
other Maine boys in those camps may
have the same privilege, the commission
er will be pleased to supply without
charge shipping tags covering the ship
ment of deer lawfully killed to our SOL
diers in Massachusetts,.

SHORTAGE OF HAY.

From information that | have obtained
from Departments of Agriculture and
business firms, previous reports that there
is shortage of hay in the southwest of
the United States are confirmed. The
best hay is selling in St. Louis at S27 a
ton, and some is being shipped in from
Canada. This shortage will divert the
hay from the middlewest to that part of
the country. The result of this will be
to leave the markets of New England
and the Middle Atlantic States to be sup
piled from this section. That being the
case, it looks as though there would be
fair market for the surplus hay of Maine.
in the section of the country where
this shortage of hay exists, they are dis
posing of their stock to quite an extent.
Young steers and heifers are selling there
from Sc to So per hundred. They freight
US about 81 head. understand there is
one car of this stock enroute for Maine.
