Those in charge of the War Saw ings campaign throughout Arizona have feared that the Third Liberty Loan would have a serious effect on the War Savings work. But, ac- cording to Mr. Kirkland, the Liberty Loan should not retard the War Saw ings work. ''We think 1t should rather add stimulus to the war savings,'' he Said

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

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect OH 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 it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It 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
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Dive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up the spirits.

Indignantly muckraked and impeded.
And the public has tolerated this con-
dition, too.
The public never has seetled down
to a complete and adequate settlement
Of the railway problem.
Most of US have been content to
drift along from year to year happily
obliviouS to the weakness of our ma
tional transportation System-the
breakdown of which has caused such
tremendous loss Of business and has
slowed down our war preparations ma
terially.
Let us not deceive ourselves into be-
lieving that we suddenly have become
a thrifty nation because we now un-
complainingly are eating less wheat
less meat and less sugar and we are
less generous with the garbage can.
I'VE still must learn to think thrift
in big, national way. II We had
thought thrift in the last decade as We
are going to be compelled to think it in
the next ten years we never would
have been brought TO our condition Of
heatless days, industrial paralysis and
lame transportation Of all kinds. We
have been nation Of thriftless in
dividuals and we are paying usurious
prices for our superfcialities.
Let us profit by our present bitter
experience and come to realization OF
the fact that one of our necessities is
peace preparedness.
whether peace is a long way off or
close at hand it will bring with it just
as great need for thrift as now exists
The tremendous losses of the war in
property, productive power, and disor-
ganization of business routine will have
to be repaid by thrift. conservation of
resources, and efficiency.
Peace will bring an era of intense
activity: keen International competi-
tion-a universal speeding up of the
business machine. 1t will be no time
for wastefulness, incompetency and in
difference. America will not dare re-
turn to her old habits of improvidence.
Thrift is national necessity
present and future.
Peace preparedness. Let us keep
these words in our minds constantly.
we are going to win the war

would be called winter.
The country here looks like Maine
somewhat and about as hilly, not
