MORE LIBERTY LOANS TO
COME, EVEN WITH PEACE.

Washington, Oct. 21..--Secretary
McAdoo says it will be necessary to-
have fifth and possibly SIXTH loan,
regardless OF the outcome Of Ger
many's peace negotiations.
Already loan directors have be-
gun to formulate plans for the fifth
loan. Indications are that commun-'
tiles everywhere will be urged to-
adopt the plan OF opening polling
places and asking citizens to enter
their pledges.

OF CREDIT MEN
Credit Expert Tells State AS

Are Now as Necessary as
During War.

A business with 5000. 900 stock Of goods
$500 600 in liabilities and $500 600 in aC-
counts receivable. is liquid only If quick

able assistance from members Of this

The absolute necessity of keeping
business liquid on the part Of the houses
granting credit, AS well as on the part
Of those from whom they nuN and t.
whom they sell, was one Of the most
important subjects discussed at tlIs
conference, and ii was the unanimous
verdict OF the credit men that, as they
face the period Of reconstruction Incl
dent to the ending Of the war, they can
further their W interests and serve
the government SO well In no other WAY

ally have ended with the signing Of the
armistire. He asserted that conditions
are still far from normal. but that credit
men are in position. by controlling cred
its, to play a large part In keeping the
finances Of the country on an even keel
by Keeping business as liquid as posi-
BILE. He believed credits should be
granted evenly and wisely and that one
of the big problems before the credit
men Is thai Of diScouraRiHg oycrbuying
on the part OF their customers.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr, Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. hute for calomel - are mid 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 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 teeth! Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. Itis best moi to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches, "duliness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and 3 disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy"' and heavy" Note how they 'tclear" clouded brain and how they 'perk up" the spirits l0c and 2sc a box. All druggistA -
