How Army Horses are Bought.

There is an interesting article in the
February Farm and Fireside as to how
army horses are purchased. The writer
of it SAYS:
Every third week great public sale
is held at the sales yards, and as many
as 5000 horses at a time pass through
the yards OH these occasions.
E" 'The good ones go at the rate OF
one a minute or faster the manager
told me-
"The horses inspected by the United
States officers average about 200 a
week 1t is hard work, but it is well
and thoroughly done
"The year of 1914 was the high year
for horse sales in Miles City as else
where in the country, for then all the
allied governments were buying every
thing they could get hold of. During
that wear 80 1893 horses and mules went
out of the sales yards. Since then The
buying has been steadier and more re-
strained, and the funny stories told OF
the buyers who knew horses but spoke
no English, or who knew little Eng
lish. but had no knowledge OF horses,
are decreasing.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver IS
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DIR. 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 teethe
Calomel sometimes plsys 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
a disordered liver. Take d.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1ogU" ana
"heavy." Note how they clear clonded
brain and how they ''perk W" the spirits.

AutO-IntOXicatiOn
Explained!
tBY L. II. SMITH, d. d.

There is no question but that many
people suffer from auto-intoxication and
ptomaine poisoning. These are big words
which are easily explained. Through the
failure of the liver to properly perform
its work, the twenty-seven feet of intes-
tines become clogged. This stagnation
throws poisons into the blood and the
circulation. and one suffers from bad
breath. foul taste in the mouth, and
even yellow-coated tongue, headache,
nausea or fallness. Gas often presses the
diaphragm against the heart and causes
pain there, or acid dyspepsia follows;
often the inactive liver causes yellow
skin and ewes, and one feels languid,
tired and debilitated. At such times
some people are advised by their doctors
TO take a mineral oil. often called Rus
sian oil, bet experiments by X. +. Me
Donald have shown, as lately reported
in government publication Of the Y. ;.
public health service, that mineral oil
may act as an irritsnt that produces
castro intestinal disturbances and that
il may cause tissue proliferation, simu-
lsting cancer.
A better method. which ] always ad-
Yise. Is to take a. much outdoor eNer-
else as possible. drink half pint Of hot
water morning and night and plenty OF
water between meals and take a pleas
ant laxative pill occasionally. such a
one Is made up of the May-apPle, Of veg
etahle ealomel. and other concentrated
herb extracts that give tone TO the bow

most all druggists nearly - years ago

go Ahead and Knit, Ladies" Says Sec
retary Daniels.

1t has often been rumored that the
navy department does not welcome
knitted garments for the sailors. Secre-
tary Daniels denies the charge IN a let
ter in the March Woman's Home Com
panion. He says:
"The navy department does, of course,
furnish necessary clothing for the sail
ors, but the additional comforts which
are provided by the women, working
through the Red Cross naval auxiliary,
are very acceptable to the men in the
service and, in addition to she comfort
which they afford, the men are cheered
by the knowledge that the women at
home have them in remembrance and are
anxious to send these articles for their
comfort. The department is very glad
indeed TO have them and they arc OF
real service and satisfaction to the men
and are greatly priced by them.

The newspapers having acquainted the

cording u Daniel ko1s, president OF the
Corset Manufacturers Association.
Mr. Hops says the War Trade Board
considers corset making an essential in
dustry. but wants the cooperation of the
manufacturers in cutting out all unnec-

superluous materials. The recent con-
ference in Washington between repre-
sentatives of the board and OF the cor
set Industry had In mind two main con-
s!derations: allotment and conservation.
The Government does want to save
stee, from civilian industries, and at its
request a committee OF five represent

as TO what extent the industry can be
reduced without affecting the organiza-

materials will be cut out.
