Nashville, Tenn.,-The State CouD-

Of the loss of live stock along the

Tennessee. Figures compiled show

THE GOOD WORK OF

losses have been proportionately
large, and the campaign inaugural
ed by the State Council of defense
is launched on the theory that as
the people of Tennessee are anxious
TO conform to requests of the Gov

walton of food they will cooperate
with the Council in this work. The
reduction of these losses, even Is

essee alone. But it isn't question
of dollars and cents any longer 'or
the railroads are operated by the
Government and the Government
pays the bills. 1t is question of
the saving of food for the boys
over there and is not a railroad
proposition
The citizens of the state are ask
ed to back up this campaign and
to urge upon everyone who allows
stock to run at large the necessity
for keeping such animals off the
railroads. Every COW killed means
that an average of 800 pounds of
meat is destroyed to say nothing
of the leather and fats, while each
hog means loss of from Is $25
worth of food.

necessity is removed from the German
people, when an attempt is made TO re-
aume business dealings with outsiders,
then it will be different matter.
The possibility of some form of repu-
diation or confscation, either by reduc-
ing the interest or the capital of the
debt or in some other way, has often
been discussed This brings up po-
litical question. A year ago Mr.. Davis
did not think any German government
would dare to attempt any form of re-
pudiation. since SO much of the debt
was held by millions of small subscrib-
ers or by savings banks, and since in
surance companies had converted most
of their capital into war bonds. How
ever, with two or three years more of
war, it may be question whether the
majority would not prefer to repudiate
debt held almost wholly in the nation
rather than continue to destroy the ma
tional wealth by annual installments
to cover the interest.

BETTER Than CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..

DIR. Edwards Olivc 'Tatlets-the substi.

laxative, and their effect On the liver IS
almost instaGt aocoas. They are TIE result
of DR.. Edwards determination not 70 treat
liver and bo"el complaints with calomel.
His efforts TO banich it brought out these
little olive.colcred 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 cGlor1cl. They take hold
OF the trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why
cure the liver at the expense OF the teeth!
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not
