BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute. ID

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
Of the trouble and quickly correct il. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but TO let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place. .
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a d~isordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spirits.

The announcement follows:
"The artillery struggle, which has

The Progress of the Local
Campaign.

The local campaign for funds to
finance the welfare work among, SOL
diers which is beng carried on in
training camp communities through
out ne country under tie direction
of commissions representing the War
and Navy departments will continue
Monday. Up to last night about
$500 has been secured for this
laudable undertaking, The reports
of the various subcommittee have
not all as yet been turned in; but
Mr.. V, B. lines, chairman of the
general committee, estimates that the
total subscriptions will easily reach
the above stated sum,
The campaign, which begun last
Tuesday, was vigorously waged. Not
only was an active canvass made in
Columbus but committees worked
valiantly in various rural commun-
ties contiguous to the city, every
portion of Lowndes county having
been thoroughly and effectively COZ
cred.
Loyal citizens of Lowndes coun-
ty have responded nobly to every
call made upon them for funds for
war work since diplomatic relations
between the United States and Ger
many were severed, and evinced
their usual patriotic spirit by making
liberal contributions to the fund for
welfare work in training camp COM
munities.
Mr., lines conceived novel idea to
advertise the campaign in Columbue

intersection of Main and Wo,t,nt
streets, which is the center of the
business district, and the ringing of
this bell at stated intervals by mem

FOR CAMP SHELBY.
Bishop Bratton Raising Fund To
Build Episcopal Church.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 30.-Bishop
Theodore D. Bratton of the Protes-
tant Episcopal diocese of Mississippi
has started movement am, tp:
people of his flock with a view to
providing an Episcopal chapel or
"hut," on the United States army
cantonment near Hattiesburg, Camp
Shelby. During the past week BIZ
shop Bratton paid a visit to Camp
Shelby, and after looking over the
ground and studying the situation,
saw there a good field for mission
airy activity After a conference
with the officers commanding the
camp and placing the situation be-
fore them, Bishop Bratton was Civ
en- carte blanche in the matter Of
chapel site in a central part of the
reservation,
Having received official endorse
ment of his plans, Bishop Bratton
has begun the task Of raising the
money necessary, making good
start among his people in his home
city Of Ja~kson. No one is asked
to give large sum, but in small con-
tributions from the members of the
Episcopal denomination it is certain
that the total requisite can be se-
cured. Meanwhile plans have been
prepared and will be put under wav
ut once for the building Of a suit
able chapel, to conform in architec-
tural detail to the general building
style prevalent at the cantonment.
AS stated, there are 49, 900 men
young men, splendid specimens of
American young manhood-assem-
bled at Camp Shelby, and while the
" M c. A. has provided a series OF
commodious buildings, there is need
for the proposed means for looking
more effectively after their spiritual
well-being through just such instru-
mentality as that suggested.

THE USUAL ELABORATE
THANKSGIVING MENUS
ARE SERVED.
EDIBLES ARE SCARCE
Difficulty is Experienced in
Obtaining Several Reeui-
sites OF Feast.

While edibles of all kinds are nov
mueh higher than for many year:
past. this fact did not keep Ameri.
cans from observing the time-honor
ed custom of feasting on Thanksgiv-
ing day, and Columbians, like other
people throughout the country, serv-
ed bounteous dinners last Thursday
Even those who were plentifully
supplied with cash, however, exper-
fenced difficulty in providing the
customary elaborate menus, as the
scarcity of a number of comestibles
forming component parts of the Gus
tomary Thanksgiving feast served to
augment the troubles Of housekecp
ers. Turkeys, which constitute the
piece de resistance of the festal
board on this joyous day, were fairly
plentiful; but oysters, which are also
considered essential, were extremely
scarce. Local handlers of the BIZ
valves experienced difficulty in Sc
curing shipments, and several deal
ers found it impossible to fiji all the
orders they received. Celery was also
somewhat difficult to obtain, but the
scarcity of this commodity was not
acute.
Columbians had plenty of time to
devote to their dinners Thursday, as
there was little else to attract their
attention. The only unusual diver
sion was football game between the
West Point High School and the
Franklin Academy. This game,
which was played on the Franklin
Academy campus at O'Clock in the
afternoon, resulted in victory for
the locals by the score of 6 to 0, and
was witnessed by large crowd.
Many people attended the picture
shows, the Princess Theater having
been crowded both in the afternoon
and evening, while many others de-
voted the day, or portion Of it at
least, to sylvan pastimes. The wealth
" was ideal, and countless local
Nimrods spent their time hunting,
while hundreds of automobiles mad
long journeys into the surrounding
country.
Thanksgiving services were held at
two local houses of worship. The
congregations of the protestant
churches of the city joined in a union
service at the First Baptist church
and listened to an excellent sermon
by Rev. T. L. Holeomb, the pastor,
while a similar service was neld at
st. Paul's Episcopal church. st.
Paurs church is without a rector and
the service there was conducted by
Mr.. +. r. Hopkins, layman. Both
services were attended by large con-
gregations.
