BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
, DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
& are aHarmleSS Substitute

! DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel- mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re.
suit of DR.. Edwards's determination not
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teethl like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quicklycorrect it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy"a and
"heavy." Note how they clear "clouded
brain and howthey "perkup" the spirits.

First Car of Nebraska Corn
Grades Exceptionally Hiqh

The first carload of new corn of
the season arrived on the Omaha
market today. 1t was grown in
Dixon county, Nebraska and was
shipped from Ponca, consigned to
the Holmquist Elevator company
and bought by the Fisher-Roths
childs Grain company at $l.47 a
bushel.
The arrival of the car of corn
from Ponca discounts the report
that the quality of the Nebraska
grown cereal is not good. This
shipment graded No. 3, yellow and
was one per cent damaged. The
grade is considered exceptionally
high for new corn.

Social Settlement Womer

Cook Nourishing Food
for the Stricken.

Mrs. Caldwell and her assistants
Miss Helen Corr and Miss LORNA
Knox of the social settlement house
South Twenty-ninth and Q streets
have been working beyond their
strength in caring for the sick in
that neighborhood.
They reach 40 families every day
with soup, custard and other ne
cessities, and are greatly assisted in
this since the opening of the soup
kitchen at St. Martins parish. Pre-
vious to the establishment of this
great aid to "fu" sufferers the work
ers at the settlement house had to
prepare all the viands for the sick
themselves.
Great praise is given the nurses
who have so willingly lent their aid
and the other volunteer workers by
Mrs. Caldwell.
One IA months old baby girl is
being cared for in the settlement
house, while its mother, father and
three small sisters are sick at home.

q AID as it is, gold stars are begin
- ming to appear in the windows
~ of our homes, telling their
silent story of son or brother who
has made the supreme sacrifice. But
will folds Of crepe and mourning ap-
parel be worn by Omaha mothers,
who have sacrificed their sons on the
altar of Freedom?
In England mourning is never
seen and in all probability the
American wives and mothers will
wear only the tiny gold star as an
outward mark of their sorrow.
Omaha matrons who have been thus
bereaved have none of them adopted
the conventional mourning costume
for one sees>them every day, hurry
ing to their many war duties,
gowned in their usual tailored
dresses. Dark colofs, to be sure,
but never the sombre black that de-
notes sorrow. The depressing ef-
feet on others caused by seeing their
friends in deep mourning cannot be
measured in mere words. A we'll
known Omaha woman whose son
was recently killed in action, over
seas, is not wearing black. neither
does her attractive daughter, who,
before their bereavement, was very
prominent in the affairs of the
younger set.
Still another Omaha mother re-
ceived the crushing news not long
ago of her sons death while in the
air service. She, too, is adhering to
the request of or government and
is her usual cheerful self. her beauti-
full little pin with lis gold star in a
conspicuous place on her tailored
coat of dark blue. in far away
army camp the brilliant son of a
prominent family succumaed to the
deadly disease of pneumonia. and
both his mother and sister have not
altered their mode nor color of dress.
Back our boys with bonds, not
crepe" seems to be the slogan of all
patriotic women in these sorrowful
days.

Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
Some time ago lonely soldier boy
got my name and wrote to me. They
were merely friendly letters, but ]
have become interested in them. He
has not answered my last letter.
would it be all right to write him
and ask him the reason of his not
writing, or just forget him?

Many causes might have prevent
ed your receiving letter. If sta
toned in this country, he might have
"fu," might have been transferred
or for some other reason been una
BILE to write If in France, he might
have been in Battle and wounded.
Certainly, write again, but do not re-
proach the boy for not writing.
Keep your letters friendly and good
natured so they will cheer and not
irritate your soldier friend. Re-
member, the boys in the army like
to get letters. but they are under Or
ders and not always able to respond
regularly.

Does He Love Her?

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a young girl 20 years old. A
young man has proposed to me. He
is known to be quite a f1irt, but he
has always forgotten other girls.
However, he was away two weeks
and wrote to me quite often, so I
don't think he regards me as the
others. He is always real affection
ate and shows his love in many
ways. He insists on tickling me I'M
der the chin. Miss Fairfax, will you
please tell me the significance of
that? Do you think I shouldthink
of marrying before the war is over?
I have not accepted his proposal
yet, so 1 don't know just what our
relationship toward each other
should be. Do you think it proper
for him to hold my hand or kiss me
goodnight? AS T am quite fond of
him, I wouldn't care, but I don't
want to do anything wrong. How
much do electric irons cost? Do you
know where can buy a second
hand one? ANXIOUS READER.
Because his affection lasted two
weeks is no sign that it will be per-
manent. If you doubt him, give him
plenty Of time to prove himself. Be-
ing real affectionate" is no sign Of
love. In fact, it is very apt to mean
just the opposite. If he had deep
and genuine respect for you the
young man would not tickle you un-
der the chin. The only thing Of
which know such a thing is sign
is extremely bad manners.
AS to marrying before the war is
over, that is something to be decided
according to circumstances. You
do not even say whether the young
man is a soldier or not. AS gen.
eral rule, should say, wait until the
war is over, and in your case you
surely should, as you are not even
sure the young man loves you.
In the meantime do not allow the
liberties you mention; they are not
wrong. but unwise.
