Steamer Celtic Is Safe.

New York, April 5.-The big
White Star line steamship Celtic,
which was torpedoed 4 day or two
ago, while on voyage to the Unit
ed States, has reached a British port
safely. The White Srar line has re-
ceiyed a cable message, reading :
Celtic safe This was taken to
mean that the Celtic had returned
to her port OF departure or some
other British port.

A CLEAR COMPLEXION
Ruddy Cheeks-Sparkling Eyes
Most Women Can Have
Says DR.. Edwards, a WelI.Known
Ohio Physician

DR.. F. M. Edwards for II years treated
scores of women for liver and bowel
ailments. During these years he gave to
his patients prescription made of few
well-known vegetable ingredients mixed
with olive oil, naming them DR.. Edwsrda'
Olive Tablets. You will know them BY
their olive color.
These tablets are wonder.wCrkers on the
liver and bowels which cause normal
action, carrying off the waste and poison.
Gus matter in ones system.
Ifyou have pale face, sallow look, dull
eyes, pimp!es, coated tongue, headaches, a
listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts,
inactive bowels, you take one CT d..
Edwards Olive Tablets rightly for tine
and note the pleasing results.
Thousands of women as well as mon
take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sue
cessful substitute for caloael--now and
then just to keep il the pink of condition.

SEEMS NEAR END.
AGREEMENT is MADE WITH
ALL UNIONS EXCEPT
CAR MEN.

Kansas City, Mo, April 3.-Al-
though the general strike in prog
ress here for a week was settled late
last night by agreement, it deycl-
oped this forenoon that the city
faced d continuation OF the street
car tie-up.
That fact became known when
several hundred employees OF the
street railway refused to resume the
operation Of cars because OF a COM
pany order iorbidding the men to
wear union buttons while on duty.
Only few cars were in operation
and in some quarters it was pre-
dicted that the disattcction would
spread to include practically all OF
the 250D employees of the company.
The order forbidding wearing OF
the buttons was issued several days
ago, the company officials explain
ing that it was done to prevent dis
elimination against union and non
union employees on the part on the
part of passengers, and also as 4
means Of protection Tor those union
employees who returned to work be-
fore the general strike was settled.
At the company's Offices il was said
that every effort was being made to
adjust the dispute and that the out
come could not be fOrctOld.
