up the hillside, and then sent over a raid

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a1armless 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
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-coiored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calonel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correctit it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calonlel 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, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy'and
heavy" Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

CHILDREN KILLED
TO SAVE RATIONS

Of the Associated Press But.
daddy, it's cold" said the little girl,
when her father brought her TO a
hole in the ice and told her TO
jump in.
Never mind. you must get in, ="
replied the father So he put her
in and returned home. with one
mouth less to feed.
This, says the Picking Daily
News. is typical Of what is happen
ing in Anp'ing and adjoining, dis
tricts, so miles south of Paotingfu
in Chilli province. Some days ago
a baby was found deposited on the
ground in Mill village. The mother
was traced to another part of the
village. She explained that her
home was in ruins, there was no
food, her husband had gone away
some four years ago at a previous
food time, and she had already
thrown this baby into the well
twice, but it had been rescued by
neighbOrs.
On Dec. IA the P'u-t'ao-ho river
in this district caused great flood
owing to the blockade of ice. The
villagers suddenly found water
pouring into the streets and INFO
the houses. The men had all they
could do to rescue their women,
children and old folk. getting them
on TO the roofs Of the houses.
There. on the rooms, in bitter
cold, they lived and slept for three
days until the ice was frozen solid
Now they have got back into the
houses where the ice under their
feet is one or two. or even three
feet deep. Most of their belong,
ings are buried in this ice. They
are eating a watery concoction of
dead leaves. When the frost
breaks the river is almost certain
to overflow again. The ice in the
houses will melt. Within and
without, all will be water. The
houses will dissolve and collapse.
Destruction awaits these people
unless they can be removed before
hand to safe places.
In this district of Anpring there
are over one hundred thousand
people In distress owing to the
foods. One hundred and eighty
villages are affected. but 1t is only
small number that have suffered
from this last calamity OF ice.
About forty villages are in extreme
distress. The people are reduced
to burning the timbers Of their
houses and their fruit trees.
