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 performing 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 sub
stitute 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.

New York, Feb. 15.-Just what the
National league has left in the way Of
decisions will be unleashed on the un-
suspecting public today when the lea
que will wind up its annual schedule
meeting here. Little things like plans
for paying the government war tax
and the annual gabfest have been left
out 50 far. They will have to be de-
cided.
Enemies of the spitball will regret
to learn that President John K. Tener
believes the innocent cause of many
a batting average s downfall probably
will be allowed to live another year.
Governor Tener does not doubt that
the delivery will come in for some dis
cussion, but he is distinctly of the
opinion that no action will be taken
against it. He pointed out that even
if the leagues does frown to the spit
ball it will be impossible to legislate
it out of business until the next meet
ing of the rules committee which would
not be until next winter.
Rumors Of trades are thick around

Miller Huggins said to be after the

John Evers is the particular pet of

IN PITCHINGHS1AFF
Outside Of Slab Artists Team
Has No Particular Star

New York, Feb. 13.-The Washing
ton American league club, it seems,
just can't get started on a road that
leads to the top of the heap.
Clarke Griffith, manager of the club,
had everything all fixed, he thought,
for a start toward strength when he
negotiated O trade that brought him
John Lavan from the Browns, but La
van up and joined the army and the
stuff was off.
The Washington club isn't guilty of
harbcring lot Of star ball players.
The team can play ball, very credit
ably and Griffith is one of the game IS
smartest managers, but there are no
Cobbs, Speakers, ct al, connected with
the club. Walter johnson is the sole
blooming star right now, unless one
wishes to consider Clyde Milan as still
member of the elect club.
The reserve list for the Washington
club shows most of it's promising ma
terial gobbled up in the demand for
men in the army and navy. Mike Me
noskey, as promising a recruit as ever
showed in the big leagues, is among
those who entered service. Joe Leon
ard, hard hitting and clever fielding
third baseman, has gone to the colors,
and several others not so highly re-
garded have joined.
The Senators pitching staff has
been about all the club could boast for
several years, and Griffith probably
is busy thanking fate that his best
men for hurting duty have not jumped
to the world league. Walter Johnson,
Harry Harper, Grain, Craft, and other
stars still are held on the Senators
list.
Strength with the Washington club
depends almost wholly on the pitching
staff If it holds up the Senators may
finish higher than last summer, but
there is small hope.
The infield is only passing fair, and
the outfield is only fair as an Ameri-
can league aggregation. Clyde Milan is
the star of the outer trio and Milan is
growing into the veteran class with
such speed that it is doubtful if he
ever will again have one of his old
time years. Joe Acosta has given prom
Use of developing something, but the
Washington club needs complete rem
ovation before it can again figure in
pennant struggles.

London, Feb. 13.-Rumors were plen-
tiful in London today that ministerial
and military changes are imminent.
Following exciting debate in the
house of commons yesterday evening.
politicians today were contrasting Pre-
mler Lloyd George S guarded statements
regarding Field Marshal Haig and Gem
eral Robertson, with Former Premier
Asqulth s warm praise of them and
Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar
Laws cautious denial that Robertson
had resigned as chief of staff, ESQ far
as 1 know"
Political writers in the press were un-
animous that the debates revealed a
more hostile attitude toward the gov
ernment than ever before. While the
Chronicle defended Lloyd-George edit
orally, its political writer said:
The temper of the house of commons
is appreciably different from only a
few days ago. There is a new, challeng-
ing note of criticism and a bold dispo-
sition to assert authority now precep-
tible," He suggested the possibility Of
a ministerial crisis.
The Times editorially defended the
government and its political writer
said:
'The debaters marked a definite
change in the relation of the govern
ment and the opposition"
The Telegraph, hitherto a warm sup
porter of the premier, did not comment
editorially. Its political writer, however
declared that ''the most astonishing and
significant scene was decidedly damag-
ing to the government
The Post and News openly attacked
the government. The latter declared the
premier disassociated himself from Pre-
sident Wilson s estimate of Foreign Sec
retary Czernin's IS speech. Regarding the
scenes in commons, the News said:
''The premier went to the house with
a harassed expression, leaving his col
leagues anxious and detected on the
government bench.''
