DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the subst.

that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like

 URGING FOR PEACE

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 2S.-The ef- feet of the Bolsheviki propaganda spread broadcast over the whole of Austria and Hungary is clearly shown by the new hope and ercour- agement it has given all Czechs and other foreign peoples under the do- imitation of Austria.
 Inspired by the open support given them by the Bolsheviki the Czechs boldest leader has given voice to the following speech in the Austrian Rcichsrat: Since the Austrian political system is aimed againet the Czech people, it is but natural that tho Czechs refuse to have their fate determined in this parliament. The right to self-de- termination must be reserved to every nation. The ten million Czecholovaks claim it. Whatever the Magysrs may say, the Czechs will not abandon the Slovaks after their sacrifices. They will demand for them also the right to a nation al culture. 1t is true that the Czechs would welcome peace with
