Tablets while treating patients tor
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing. soothing
vegetable laxative.

little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab

act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action. -,
If YOU have dark brown mouth

now in order that the greatest possible
quantity may be packed in a given space
and that the keeping quality of goods
may insure their arrival in good condi-
tion.
However, every can or jar that is filled
by the housewife for home use releases
an identical quantity Of commercially
canned goods for export. There will also
be saved the labor, space on freight cars
and cost of transportationt that would
mount up greatly if the factory pre-
served foods had to be sent broadcast
throughout the country, instead of being
shipped in large blocks to environments
or to Europe. So the housewife who
cans enough to supply her family does a
tremendous "bit" for her country.
A special effort should also be made
this summer TO use the garden produce
for the main dish at meals instead of
eating the vegetables as side dish. The
following is one way to do this;
Stuffed Tomatoesv6 round tomatoes

The Only Term Of Peace.

Chancellor Won Hertling's peace

want peace and war-to-the knife
speech for those who want war. 1t is po-
lite enough in its terms, and abundantly
confirms the Goethe adage that the Ger
man is liar when he is polite. But
it is insulting An its nature when se-
rious inclinss.;cns toward peace show
themselves on the other side we viii i'm

a serious desire for peace manifests it.

it up" This is repeated. The entente
must sue for pcaee-and then 1--WE will
speak, to begin with, in small circle"
A small circle Of men or a small circle
of propositions small, for example,
as "you give all and we will take alp?
No doubt at al, the German government
would like to make peace. 1t has every
reason to wish to get out of the great
difficulty. But it proposes to- make the
German people believe that it has re-
duced the entente powers on terms as
irnominious as those which were put
over upon the helpless Russians at Bress-
Litoysk.

much shall / can? Will the government
see that | have enough sugar for my
canning Will the government help me
to dispose through commercial channels
Of any surplus garden produce may put
upH Can | give some of my surplus
canned goods to the army or navy2
First, the food administration urges
every housewife who can to put up
enough fruits and vegetables to make
her family independent of factory canned
goods which are needed for the army and
navy. The government viii save sulfi-
cient supply of sugar for every house
keeper to do this. Great care, however,
must be used in canning to see that no
sugar is wasted, and on no account
should the sugar given for canning pur-
poses be used instead to augment the
household consumption for other pllr.
poses.
The government may not aid any fam
lily to dispose of any home canned goods
through commercial channels. Neither
may the government either receive or
buy from individual Gamers any canned
goods for the army or navy, although it
appreciates the spirit of patriotism that
has prompted so many housewives to
offer TO supply them, 1t is held f=om

panion Anna Steese Richardson gives this
interesting report of the stage women
war relief bins for baby clothes for the
war orphans of France and Belgium:
But the most fascinating parcels were
those which contained garments already
worn by American babies.
"a box which was on exhibition for
many days and with which the workers
parted reluctantly came from the wife of
an American soldier now in France. He
enlisted on the day that his baby was
three months old His wife was changing
their baby to short clothes when she read
the appeal for war orphans in the April
Companion. Into great box went every
stitch Of her baby's layette: daintily EN-.
hroidered slips, 'Gertrudes' Of soft, silky
flannel, little binders and shirts so care
fully Numbered that they were soft as
new, albatross jackets, crocheted bootees,
Baby Bunting of white eiderdown, and
even a cunning hot-water bottle popped
into a pink silk case. But, most beauti.
full of all as the workers turned back

ing for his baby, and the French orphan
wearing his baby's clothesy
MANY parcels contained baby gar
ments which had lain in lavender or cam
phor for many, many years. They were
worn by sons now fighting in our foreign
service, One of these mothers wrote
They were yellow with age, but have
done my best with blueiug. I like to
think of their being worn by some baby
for whom my boy is fighting"
