EAT SALT ON GRAPE FRUIT
AND SAVE SUGAR FOR WAR;
OYSTERS ARE CLIMBING HIGH

Two husky, russet-faced oyster
openers at the Russ Market piled
their art to-day with uncommon
Zest while hungry customers ogled
the fat luscious bivalves as they
pumped from hand to tub.
You mean to say there are plenty
of oysters!" cried one old-timer who
used to wallow in the briny sweets.
Sure, Mike" grinned the head
opener. "Oysters better an bigger
this year than ever; we get all ours
from Marsh Run down in Jersey.
See there; amt he beauty?"
Grimes of tn Hun" groaned the
hungry one. why can't they sell
'em cheaper?"
Can't get labor" cheerily inform
ed the other. oysters are plenty;
say. boy, isn't this a lalapaloosa; /;
weighs half a pound! So the ship
pers won't take orders; that's the
story"
The restaurant man these days
must pay IS cents more for a gallon
of oysters than last year, and where

And oranges! Good night! Bates
and Company are doing the best they
can to keep down the price of Cali
fornia oranges. for yesterday in New
York box of this fruit demanded
$19 while the Harrisburg merchants
asked only $3.50 box. This firm as
serts that it profits but so cents on
a box. The opinion among dealers,
however, is that many retailers are
profiteering on the precious fruit.
They ought to be able to sell a
dozen, medium sized, for from 81
to $1.25" was the estimate. For the
big fellows, they said, $1.75 per
dozen is legitimate, but not for the
medium sized.
The head of Bates and Company
asked to have the public informed
that the Jamaica orange, although
it has green skin, is very palatable; /;
just as good as the California Valen-
cia, and much cheaper. Also he dis
covered over in Gotham yesterday
that the very elite now eat salt on
grapefruit instead of sugar." 1t

the Bates official; "counteracts the
acid, and adds fifty per cent. to the
relish"

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment- clogged
liver and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per.
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.

Get the Habit Of
DrinkingHotWate ater
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. Whats an inside
bath ?" you say. Well, it is guaran-
teed to perform miracles if you could
believe these hot water enthusiasts.
Theer are vast numbers of men
and women who, Immediately upon
arising in the morning. drink a glass
of real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, This
is a very excellent health measure.
1t is intended to flush the stomach,
liver, kidneys and the thirty feet of
intestines of the previous day S
waste, sour bile and indigestible ma
terial left over in the body, which,
if not eliminated every day, become
food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels, the quick
result is poisons and toxins which
are then absorbed into the blood,
causing headache, bilious attacks,
foul breath, bad taste, colds, stom-
ach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act
on the skin, cleansing, sweetening
and freshening, so limestone phos-
phate and hot water act on the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
1t is vastly more important to bathe
on the inside than on the outside,
because the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

garian delegation at Vienna.
Although the Central Powers
have been able to face the new mill
tary situation" the foreign minister
said, lit must be stated that we can
not hope any longer for decisive
! success by arms, while our adver-
saries are not sure of their power to
crush our resistance. Hence further
lbloodshed is useless"
Baron Burian said that a senti-
ment of pure humanity always per-
vaded President Wilson'S ideas on
the solution of world problems,
even when he joined our adversar-
les and laid down certain principles
directed against us. His declarations,
therefore, never remained without
influence amongst us and were never
rejected by us in principle"
