THAN CALQMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. ! Edwards Olive Tablets are aHarrnless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. ute for calomel - are mild 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. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 | Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and 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 lQc atS 25c box. All druggists.

ESCAPING RED GROSS
 WORKERS FIRED UPON
AMERICANS FLEEING FROM ODESSA SPELLED BY GER MAN BATTERY NORTH OF CITY-MISSION TO
 ROUMANIA HAS EVENTFUL TRIP.

London, May 7-In an eventful flight from Jassy. the Rumanian cap ital, the American Red Cross mission to Rumania which now has arrived in London, escaped from Odessa S6 hours before the Germans entered t only to be fired on by German bat tery in the Ukraine 200 miles north of the Black sea port.
 The German shells did no damage to the Red Cross train, falling about half mile from it, but several mem bers of the mission breathed a sign of relief when the bon7bardment came to an end after five minutes which had seemed like hours.
 When the mission left Jassy it was known~that the journey likely would be a dangerous one. Reports in Jassy as to the whereabouts of the Germans varied greatly, but it was fairly clear that the Germans were within 50 or 50 miles of Odessa and that their advance parties might be encountered along the line.

LONDON PRESS RECALLS CRIME
 OF LUSITAN|A

London, May 7.-The Uusitania ali- niversary is commemorated by the newspapers today with big captions and special articles recalling the crime which the British public is not likely to forget.
 The Daily Graphic in an editorial laments that the public apparently is becoming duIled to the horror of tho Lusitania at1ocity. It asks why there is not a commemorative procession this year as there was last year. If there is not, it asks, will it's absence not be proof of the extent to which Germany's many crimes against hu- manity have deadened the worEd'n sense of tenderness.
 Germany has not changed since then,'' says the Daily Mail That is the important thing for all of us to remember. The 'repentant Germany of which our pacifcists pratt1e simply does not exist.''

EARLY MORNING / CONCERT DIDN'T
 SUIT NE|CHBORS

Mrs. Evelyn Buckley. Mrs. Her man Meyer and Mrs. Chester Griffith, all of 4O6 West avenue, appeared be- fore the city court today and were found guilty of breach of the peace. Judge Bartlett fined each one of the expensively gowned and perfectly groomed young matrons $5 and costs and they left the court a sadder but wiser party.
 According to the police the trio had tarried long at their cups last night and had looked upon the wine when it was all the colors of the rainbow. They returned home in an automobile at 3:3O this morning and upon alight- ing from the machine they craved more excitement and sought to find it by holding an impromptu concert on the sidewalk. There must have been considerable discerd for the three soon began free for all bat tie of words which aroused the entire neighborhood.
 When requested to behave them selves they answered with language which has been deleted by the censor and finally the racket raised by the three became so violent that their landlord complained to the police and they were placed under arrest.
 Before they were arraigned in court this morning they were able to oblit- crate the traces of last nights jam bouree and it was surprised court which beheld the three refined looking women arraigned upon the charge of creating a near-riot in the wee srna. hours. After hearing the testimony against them the court ordained that they each pay $5 and costs, which they promptly did and they left head quarters promising never to offend again.

the carried the Allied missions from Jassy. The first train left at noon on March and the other trains fol- lowed at intervals of two or three hours.
 Each train was provided with food for a month. There was no dining car and the food was cooked in two military food kitchens abandoned by Russian troops and which were car ried on a freight car on the end of the train.
 The train on which the Americans travelled was one of the most extra ordinary combinations of railroad roHing stock ever seen. American doctors and officers had a third class sleeping car while the nurses had a second class sleeper. Both cars were of ancient Russian vintage and with out water supply or heating facilities

RAISING BIG FUND TO

IRELAND REMAINS QUIET ON THE SURFACE BUT STTUA- TION BRISTLES WITH ALARMING POSSIBILITIES
 -SINN FEN CONTROLS.

London, May Ireland remains remarkably quiet says the Dublin correspondent of the Daily Mail in reporting on conditions there incl dent to the anticonscription campaign.
 Although the church is raising" he adds, "an enormous national de- fense fund which is ostensibly collect ed to fight conscription, it apparently does not prefer to accept responsi- bility for the manner in which the money is spent, and control of the fund has passed into the hands of the Sim Fein. The lists of names of men who signed the anti-conscription pledge under the direction of the priests is said to be in the hands of Sim Finers as a basis for a registra- ton system.
 Conditions appear daily to be growing worse as nationalism is spread further along on. the Sim

This brought out Engines and 5 along with Truck and Chemical 1. For tunately all the inmates were grown people and had rushed to the street and safety immediately upon discoy- ering the fire.

BAND IN AUSTRIA NOh
 PLAN ON REVOLT

Berne, Switzerland, May Labor and Socialist organizations in Austria threaten revolt against the govern ment action in suspending parliament. Swiss newspapers print a telegram from Vienna quoting the Sozial Demo- kratische Korrespondez to the effect that a committee of the Socialist party and a committee of the German Social ist deputies have decided to issue a manifesto to the working classes in regard to the governments action in which the following declaration will be made:
 If absolutism is re-estabIished out of regard for an-Germanism, which is prolonging the war, the working classes will be forced to fight for their rights
 The manifesto concludes by exhcrt- ing the workers to hold themselves ready to fight if necessary.

 While the surgeon was attending to the injured fireman the flames com pletely enveloped the building and threatened the houses on either side, but after a stubborn fight lasting over 30 minutes the fire was subdued and shortly afternoon it was declared out.
 The house was occupied by Mrs. Smeltzer, on the ground floor, and Mrs. Kefee, on the top floor. The property is owned by Mrs. Kate Kline, of Tashua Mills, Fairfield. Assistant Fire Chief Thomas F.

 '"The shortage of silver continues very acute and difficulty in making change has almost paralyzed business in some towns. Postage stamps are used in the midlands and in the west instead of coins. The Bank of Ire land has received in the last three months supply of silver five times greater as compared with the same period in previous years, but as long as the hoarding continues all efforts to meet the shortage probably will be futile"

KU KLUX WARN IDLERS TO FIND
 EMPLOYMENT

Birmingham, Ala, May 7-One hundred and fifty white robed men in ku klux klan uniform carrying an American flag and fiery cross at the head of the procession, rode through the streets of Birmingham last night, warning id1ers to find work to do.
 The riders distributed cards saying the United States is at war; that ev- cry man is needed-except those whose attitude is hostile to the gov ernment-and that the klan intends to see that there is no idleness. The cards say in part:
 ''If you would be justly entitled to the toleration and protection you are enjoying, find work to do and do it. No able bodied man, rich or poor, has a right to consume without produc- ing. Take heed and go to work. The eye of scrutiny is on you.
 Be respectful to the flag of our country and loyal to the government Aid by every means at your com mand the suppression of disloyalty by either speech or action. The ku klux klan is pledged to the enforce ment of the above tenets.'
