BAD BREATH :

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through Dir. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by 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.. T. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with

The extraordinary demand for
= man power ON the industrial as
distinguished from the military side Of
war preparations was responded to by
the department through its I. ). En-
loyment Service as soon as the demand
arose. Much of this demand was found
to have been influenced more by eager
ness for labor at low or inadequate
wages relatively to the sharp rise in
living expenses than by general labor
shortage. But III some places, espe
cially in the ncighborhoods Of NUM-
ton establishments which had been
serving European war demands at
enormous profits, there was 4 genuine
scarcity Of labor for less profitable
forms of production. On the whole,
the problem al first probably was less
a problem of labor scarcity than Of inn

FIELDS Of U. S.
English Minister of Agricul-
ture Tells of Importance of
Farms.

LONDON, June 26-"Discontent Of
the stomach Is more to be feared than
discomfort OF the brain-that is why
we value the cooperation of American
farmers.
This statement was made by R. E.
Prothers, minister of agriculture, to
The Associated Press today. 1.-THE out
come of the war" said Mr. Prothers,
may ultimately hang on the question
OF food supplies, and the American
farmer is allotted the essential part
to play IN the great struggle for free
dom"
This declaration, with note Of well
come to agriculturists across the sea.
who ARE determined to use every
ounce OF their strength to win the war
on the ploughed lands Of the United
States" was the keynote OF the min
ister's message to the American farm
err. Discussing the moral and material
effect on agriculture by the entrance
Of the United States into the war Mr..
Prothers continued:
True to Tradition.
ITO vindicate the cause Of humanity
and national liberty the great democ-
racy OF the western world, true to its
traditions, has taken its stand on the
side Of allied peoples. In clear cut,
memorable phrases, President Wilson
stated the high ideals animating the
United States in joining the allied
cause must be and already have been
immense.
THE President In his address April
Is, puts to the forefront an appeal to
the farmers. He bids them to carry
on to their plaughed lands the same
spirit that animate their brother allies
in trenches, on the sea, and in munit-
ion factories. From the grim spec
tacle Of human carnage and from the
feverish race of pilling up munitions
the farmer stands aloof. His task is
to make his plains and valleys stand
so thick with corn that they shall sing.
Yet the man who drives a plough Is
helping as is the man who shoulders a
rifle.
"The need Of food for man and beast
is great. whether peace is won or pro-
longed."

waited by the spaniards only, as .

waited by the Spaniards only as q
curiosity.
But it is concerning its introduction
into England and France, which par
ticularly engages our attention. Into
duced into England by Sir Walter
Raleigh, the potato was received with
favor by Queen Elizabeth. who in
order to bring 1t into fashion, had it
served on her own table one day. when
she entertained the first mobiles Of the
court and the French and Spanish am.
bassadors. All the guests liked It so
well. and partook so freely Of it. that
1t made them sick. and at the end Of
the meal. in spite Of etiquette, the
queen remained alone at the table.
From this circumstance, spread the
idea that the potato was almost a
poison, and was thought to be only fit
for pigs, and SO for more than two
hundred years, pigs alone, proftted by
Raleigh's discovery.
In France, however, Notwithstanding
the prejudice against it., Antoine-Au.
gustin Parmentier. the celebrated
French philanthropist and agriculturist
began cultivating the potato with such
care as to remove its former sharp
and disagreeable taste, and also
brought it to a state Of greater ex-
cellence. But public opinion was slow
to recognize its merits. Fortunately,
Parmentier found patronage in Louis
XVI, who ate and liked the potato,
and wore the flowers Of this plant in
the button hole of his coat, and gave
to Parmeutier the use Of fifty arpents
of the plains of Sablons in which to
plant this vegetable.
It is interesting to note, that at a
grand repast given by Parmentier,
among the notables present, was our
own Franklin. Here the tuber of the
plains of Sablons, was prepared under
every form, and furnished along the
substance Of every dish. The liqueurs
even, were extracted from the potato.

Aye! Thou art more cunning than
any man I ever met!"
The great Afridi began to rub the
tips of his fingers through his straggly
beard in a way that might mean any
thing, and King seemed to draw con-
siderable satisfaction from it, as If it
were sign language that he under
stood. More than any one thing in
the world just then he needed a
friend. and he certainly did not pro-
pose to refuse such a useful one.

But the moon was getting low and
Khyber would be dark again in half
an hour, for the great crags in the
distance to either hand shut off more
light than do the Khyber walls. The
mist, too, was growing thicker. 1t
was time to make move. King rose.

he ordered and they hurried to obey
with alacrity born Of new respect,
Darya Khan attending to the trim

stead of snarling at another man. 1t
was Q very different little escort from
the one that had come thus far. Like
King himself, it had changed it's very

brought the horse, and King laughed
at them, calling them idiots - men
without eyes.
II am Kuram Khan, the dakitar,
but who in the Hills would believe it?

He pointed to the horse, and they
stood in a row and stared. "The sad

Lizzie is Literary
Person, so Mayor
Provides Her Quiet

Lizzie Stevens, of Dayton, Ohio, is a
literary person.
Yesterday Lizzie came from Dayton
to Richmond. She brought her muse
along, and the literary fire burned in
her veins. Unfortunately she had no
tools with which to scribble her
fancies.
Nothing daunted, Lizzie went into a
five and ten cent store and helped
herself to. a number of pencils. She
then visited a house nearby and stole
q pair, of shoes. Officer Vogelsong
stopped her literary career and this
morning Mayor Robbins fined her SIS
and costs and sentenced to thirty
days IN Jail where she can have the
quiet q literary person seeks.

CONCERNING THE POTATO

To the Palladium:
Now that potato patches are seen
everywhere, and everybody is hearing
about the cultivation of this plant, it
is interesting to review the literary
career. SO to speak, of this vegetable.
We read that the potato (solanum
tuberosum) is native OF the Andes
in Chill and Peru, where it grows wild,
and where it was cultivated long prev
ious to its introduction into Europe,
where its first appearance was In
Spain towards 1884, and was cult
