WALLACE & BOWKER
WILL GO ON CASH BASIS
Minot Fuel Concern Hopes to Reduce
The Price of Coal by Getting
Cash on Delivery

The Wallace & Bowker Co. of this
city announces that after Feb. they
will go on strictly cash basis.
D. w. Bowker, manager of the COM
pany, informs the Independent that he
has been considering this proposition
for some time and he believes that it
will meet with the hearty approval of
the public inasmuch as he figures that
he can save them money on the fuel
they buy through this method.
Mr.. Bowker states that as careful
as he has been, he has been compelled
to take some losses. To maintain a
collection department costs the con-
Germ considerable each month and he
figures that the losses and extra ex-
pense which can be saved, will be
turned into his customers pockets.

END OF' WAR NEAR,
 WASHINGTON'S VIEW
Loss Of Austria Considered Mortal
 Blow to Germany

washing gton, Nov 4.-Military sur @render, complete severance of rela- tions with Germany and means for facilitating the allied and American task of crushing German militarism, if this proves necessary, are under stood here to be salient features of the arrnistice signed with Austria. All precise and detailed information must, however, await the formal an nouncement of the terms. The big out standing fact is that Austria is now definitely out of the war and Germany must follow suit on the allied and American terms or rely entirely on her own resources from now on.
 The equalization of Austria makes the conviction general that Germany can not long avoid the inevitable, and will is offered no matter how drastic tho terms may be.
 This fact translated into other Ian Euagc means that the end of the war is actually in sight and that peace now is in all probability a matter of / days, if not of hours,
 The procedure followed by Austria may be followed by Germany. That is fhe armisttce terms to Germany will be presented to the German com manders on the field by Marshal Foch,
New Britain herald., 1918-11-04

as pointed out last week. The fact of the terms having been presented may be announced but the terms themselves may be withheld from public attention until Germany has accepted or rejected them. There is some ground for the belief that ar arrangements have already been under taken to acquaint the Germans with these terms, but confirmation is lack ing.
 The speed with which the Austrian terms have been consummated after exchanges between Gen. Diaz and the Austrian commanders in the field indi~ cates that the Allies and the United States put a check in advance on any protracted haggling. There was how
 ever, just enough delay to indicate that the Austrians may have made one
 effort to eliminate some of the drastic
 terms.
 According to one diplomat Austria is understood to have been fearful about the possibility of being dragged into contlict with Germany provided
 the Allies and the United States were allowed under any conditions to use Austrian railways or Austrian terri tory In prosecuting the war. But if any such fear existed it was speedily snuffed out. There are all the ear marks of definite terms In the form of dictated demands which had to be accepted or rejected practically in their entirety by Austria.
 From various authoritative sources
 there has come new information bear ing on Gcrmany's weakness, and all indicating that the German military leaders must realize the futility ot continuing the war.
 It Is learned, for example that Ger
 many has practically run short of gasolene and that her U-hoats, her

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Gel
 at the Cause and Remove It

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi. tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar. coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects.
 All the benefits of nasty. sickening, gripping catllartics are derived from Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
 Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac- tice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil: you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for week and note the effect. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.
