he took lesson for the conduct of
human life, saying: young man,
young woman. the voyage of life is
not optional, It is one of the unbend-
ing obligations of life. Out from the
harbor of hearth and home you must
sail. Out into the storm-toss sea
you must go. ] beseech of you, Sc

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmleSs Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards's determination not
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive.colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomei does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teethlike
strpng liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quicklycorrect it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth5 Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It
Is best not to take calomel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most hesdaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and

$4,000 Troops Desert
The Russian foreign minister quot
ed German dcserterS aS saying the
Germans were unable TO remove
troops from the eastern front in
large units. They were moving them
one at n time and the men, knowing
where they were being sent, jump
from trains in attempts to escape.
He reiterated the story that $4,000
German troops had deserted i'm the

Situation Gloomy
The situation in Petrograd is de-
picted in the most gloomy colors by
the correspondent of the Times who
in a telegram under date of Monday,
the Russian Christmas, says no
Christmas in three hundred years
has been celebrated in such tragic
circumstances. Petrograd, he adds,
is full of dirt. disorder and crime.
Burglary, robbery and murder in
the most audacious forms prevail to
an extent hitherto unknown and
there is no police or other authority
to which to appeal.
Food Situation Critical
The food situation is very critical,
he says, and starvation appears TO
he staring the people in the face.
The only bread to be had is black,
gritty and undone and is composed
of niIIer's refuse mixed with straw.
Potatoes arc getting scarce and dear,
while meat is n rare luxury.
The wretched conditions of exist
ence have been aggravated by blind
ing snowstorms drifted by violent
winds for three days and nights
with the temperature at ID degrees
Fahrenheit. The correspondent of
the Times thus sums up the general
position of the country:
Russian affairs have become so
desperate that only the Intervention
of the allies or the Germans can pre-
vent catastrophe. AS this can no
longer be expected from the allies,
the disheartened Russian looks to
the Germans to put an end to the
awful chaos in which the country is
now involved"

British Labor Endorses
President Wilson's Speech

London, Jan. 9.-Representative
of British labor issued a manifesto
to-day giving whole hearted support
to the program presented in Presi-
dent Wilson's speech yesterday The
manifesto says that "in essential re-
spects it is so similar to that which
British labor put forward that we
need not discuss any points of diff
ference in detail"
The manifesto was adopted at a
joint meeting of the parliamentary
com mittee of the Trades Union
Congress and the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Labor party.
1t declares that the Presidents
speech has opened peace negotia-
tions and that the world awaits proof
of the sincere desire of the central
powers to carry them to a conclu-
sion.
The labor party can find no point
in the speech, the manifesto addsf
in regard to which the allied DEM
ocracies are likely to disagree. 1t
welcomes the references to the free
dom of the seas and the support OF
revolutionary Russia.
