BEHER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarmleSS 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 DR.. 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 teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t 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 DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded
brain ano how they 'perk up" the spirits

Americans Are Popular
Among Allied Soldiers


Chicago. Nov. 1S.-A number of
interesting stories from the French
and Italian fronts have Just been
brought back to this country by
Prof s. H. Clark, head OF the dc
partment OF public speaking OF the
university Of Chicago. who has been
for several months in the war zone.
While he was on the French front,
Professor Clark had occasion to
visit twelve wounded German piiS-
oners. They had been fairly well led,
it appeared but they were thorough
" war weary. \ few were rather de
6ant and confident of victory, hut
most of them wanted peace TIE
spirit OF the majority OF them was
we'll expressed by 43-year-old pri,-
oner from SaXony, who, though
Prussian in sympathy. said: ~ dou't
care if Metz has fallen, or Berlin.
I've been away from my home a"d
family for three years. We want
peace, only peace
Professor Clark also tells of tle
great popularity OF the American
soldier in France and Italy. The
Italians are especially grateful for
the work OF the y. NJ. {. A. One
Italian private in the front line
trenches along the Adige said to him
Your YMCA, signor," (and he pro-
nounced it Imka) your HMCA is
the Red Cross OF the Heart After
talking with Italian and French sol
dierS. Professor Clark decided that j
we live up to one-tenth of what the
Italians and French think OF rs, we
shall have accomplished the great
est work OF the age.

FIVE THOUSAND MEMBERS
Bennington County Makes a Record
in Membership Campaign.

Bennington county has responded
to the Christmas roll call for Red
Cross memberships with a total Of
over five thousand according TO re-
turns received by County Chairman
Fred c. Martin today. Some OF the
towns have not completed their can
vass and complete returns should give
the county an excellent record.
No fixed quotas have been made for
individual communities in the Red
Cross drive but on the basis of the
number Of memberships expected in
the entire county's portion would be
about 1890. A membership of over
FIVE thousand is therefore highly
creditable.
Not so many canyassers have been
working during the campaign as was
the case in similar drives during the
war but the work has been thoroughly
and satisfactorily done. In Benning-
ton the territory was Systematically
covered and the results have been all
that could have been expected
In a number of the industries here
signatures Of 100 per cent to the roll
have been secured. Among the
complete enroilments is that of the
employees OF "The Orchards" the sum

Christmas trade in Bennington this

Yesterday was perhaps the biggest
day for retail sales ever seen here.
From eight o'clock in the morning un.
til 10 o'clock at night most of the
stores we're crowded.
Several merchants interviewed by
the Banner state that Monday night
they had exceeded all previous sales
records and that today's business
would be all velvet" One merchant

mark on Saturday.
The weather has probably had a lit
tie to with the business. Never be-
fore in the memory of the Oldest In
habitant have we had pleasant Octo.
Der weather for the two weeks preced.
ing Christmas. 1t is unpricidental.
astonishing and altogether worthy OF
special celebration.
Another thing that has brought a big
business is that the town has been
prosperous and growing the past year.
Everybody that has wanted work has
had 1t at good wages.
Bennington people have had some
troubles and hardships but, on the
whole, the year has been a good one
for business, while in tho epidemic
and other burdens this town has, es.
capped more lightly than have many
others.
