WILLIAMS APPEALS
FOR SUPPORT FOR
FOURTH BOND DRIVE

G. Lester Williams, chairman of the
Americas branch of the American
Protective League, has furnished The
Tines Recorder with an interesting
QUESTIONABLE, on that so-frequently
asked question, When The War Will
Closer" 1t as follows:
Question: When will the war come
TO an end?
Answer: When it is won by the
United States of America and her
allies.
Question: What will it take to ac-
complish this?
Answer: The last ounce Of energy
of every living unity of manpower.
Every Liberty Bond every War Saw
ing Stamp and every dollar and pen
Nv possible Every atom of help OF
the good women OF America. Every
grain of powder, ounce of lead, gun,
she'll, transport and airship possible
to send over, as we'll as the ever
lasting team work of every bloomin
soul"
Question How can the war be
brought to a speedy end?
Answer By preparing as if it was
to be a war for ten years yet. And
BY sending all things necessary for
its prosecution overseas at the earii-
est possible moment
Question: Hasn't Germany already
lost the war;
Answer: Yes. But, we and our
Allies have not won it. And it is the
last lap Of a race in which the run
ner must use the utmost OF MS
strength to win.
Question: Is not Germany now
proposing peace?
Answer: Yes But she has done
this several times before. When a
baby wants candy he does not propose
! that you give it to him-he cries for
/ it. And, whea Germany wants peace
she must squall loud enough to he

BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute,

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. ute 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 banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These 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 calomei. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth7 Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. Itis best not to take calomel, but to let DT. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, SduIlness" and Ehat lazy feeling come from constipation and discrdered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and heavy" Note how they "ciear" clouded brain and how they s>perk up" the spirits. 10c and 25c box. All druggista
