BETTER THAN CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablcts-tte SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. They
are the result of DIR. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel. His efforts
to banish it brought out these little
EoIive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that caIomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calo.
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct It. Why cure the
liver at the expense Of the teeth?
caIomel 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, "dulIness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take DR.. Ed.
wards Olive Tablets when you feel
"loggy" and "heavy." Note how they
"ciear" clouded brain and how they
aperk up" the spirits.

IRISH FARMERS
 ARE BACKWARD GETTING RECRUITS

Dublin, July 23-Correspondence of The Associated Press-Irish farmers have been most backward of all class es in regard to recruiting for the army.
 Standish O'Grady, a distinguished Irish writer. the author. of several Irish novels and historical works, has issued a warning to them that, under the Land Purchase acts, they hold their lands by an act of the Imperial Parliament, that Parliament has ad- vanced over f10O,000,00O for the pur- chase of the land from the landlords, has handed it over to thousands of peasant proprietors and is collecting from them the purchase money by an- nual instalments less in amount than their old rents. -....- "a. MT. O'Grady reminds the farmers that ''in supporting an attempt to overthrow the authority of the I'm perial Parliament they are trying to overthrow the very power to which they owe their existence-as proprie- tors and which alone can maintain them in secure ownership
 "Is it likely" he asks, that the Imperial Parliament having its hun dreds of thousands of discharged brave, loyal soldiers to provide for, will leave Ireland in the ownership of men, mere class, who. in this deadly crisis, this life and death strug- gle, are proving. themselves foes ot England, of Great Britain, of the British Empire ought to be their Anglo-Irish.

TASK GIVEN ID A|RMEN
 DROPPING BOMBS

Behind British Lines in France, July Correspondence of The Associat- ed Press)-One of the most exciting tasks to which airmen are assigned is what is known as "desultory bombing" over one spot for an hour or more. The object is to distract the attention of the anti-aircraft defenders of given district, and a machine carrying a dozen or more bombs is employed for the work.
 At first the airmen. pilDt and an observer, approach their target cau- tiously. With engines throttled down, the craft glides nearer and nearer Below all is quiet. No German searchlights are sweeping the sky When the attackers are almost over their objective a rocket rises toward them and bursts into cluster or red stars. The machine has been dlscoV- cred. At once six or seven search lights throw their beams aloft. The pilot looks at his watch; it is time to begin his desultory bombing.
 He flies steadily on, although bar rage of bursting shells lies now in front of him. The observer looks through the wires of his bomb-slght to the ground below. At the proper instant he thrusts his lever forward and releases two bombs. A few sec onds later he sees the flash of their explosions, and above the cracking barrage, he can hear two dull roars. He signals to the pilot and the ma chine turns and sweeps away from the fiery ring of shells and searchlights.
 A few miles away the airplane flies to and fro at top speed. The puzzled searchlights vainly feel the sky Tn all directions and then, one by one' are switched off.
 Then the pilot quickly moved again toward the target. Another bomb IS i dropped. As it explodes the search lights reappear and the barrage is re- newed while through the thlckly grouped shell bursts are threaded the
 chains of green flaming globes SC
 much used by the Germans.
 Again the machine flies away ano 4this time. to- beWilder still more thf

They also have captured the town of Buzancy, seven miles south of Sois- sons, which brings them up to a ra- vine that stands between them and the heights to the eastward of Sois- sons.
 On the front between Rheims and the Marne the British have taken Pe- tit Champ wood, near Marfaux, where they took the places formerly held by the Italian forces.
 News of these successes by the AL lies comes in unofficial London ad- vices. It shows that, in spite of the fact that only artillery contests were reported from the French war office in it's day statement, the Allies are making important progress al around the salient in which the Germans were caught by the terrific attack of the Allies on Thursday morning. F. A lull along the line might have been expected at this time because of serves brought up by the enemy and the necessity o1 bringing up heavy artillery and supplies. It appears, however, that the momentum of the Allies has not been spent and that they are forging ahead along virtu- ally the entire front of the battle :

FAKE. HERO HAS BEEN PRONOUNCED.
 AN INSANE MAN
Sergeant Johnson" Will be Sent to Brooklyn-Was
 Honorabfy Discharged.

Robert Davis, alias Sergeant Henry Johnson" of Elmira, N. Y, who was arrested here some time ago as fake war hero when about to deliver lecture before several negro societies and church organizations as Sergeant Johnson, who captured 40 Germans, was arraigned before the city court today, Doctors have expressed the opinion that the man is insane so he was ordered held for the Brooklyn authorities who charge him with larceny.
 Davis will be taken back to Brook 1yn as soon as the officers from that city arrive in Bridgeport to escort him and the prospects are he will be confined in some asylum.
 According to the local United States recruiting officers the records show that Davis was honorably discharged from the Fifteenth Infantry which is now the 369th Infantry, National Army, and that on account of his mental weakness he began to believe people who joked with him about be- ing a hero.

what he supposed his position would be if the Germans won the war and came to Ireland. The reply he got was that if the Germans completely overthrow the British Government, the Irish farmers would be no worse off and might be better; there would no longer be any legal authority to col lect the land instalments, the Ger mans might remit them, and leave them the land for nothing. The sSiup Fein leaders in Dublin have no such delusions. but it is asserted that fol- lowers of this type throughout the country have enabled them b win elections.
