Hindenburg drive of March, which in
creased the length of the western

A Checkered Career

A man made bet with his wife
which was indiscreet.
The wife won-which was foreor-
dained.
The man wrote the wife a check
for S. in payment of the bet-which
was sad.
The wife cashed the check at the
grocery, but forgot to indorse it
which was natural.
The grocer, despite the lack of in
dorsement, paid it to packing-house
ollector-which was careless.
The packing-house collector turned
it in-which was all in days work.
The packing-house office man dis
covered the lack of Endorsement
which was good work.
He handed it back to the driver and
locked the drivers salary-which was
system.
The driver placed the check in his
white duck coat and sent it to the
laundry-which was unwise.
The laundry mutilated the check
beyond recognition-which was to be
expected.
Which is why the driver asked the
cashier to ask the grocer to ask the
mans wife to ask her husband to
write a duplicate check. Which is
why the man feels like he is paying
that bet twice.-Mississippi Banker.

BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-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?
Calornel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
TO take caiomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place. 0
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and

THE CHIVALRY OF CONGRESS-
MEN.

We learn that when the Mount Yer
non sailed from Brest there were GER
tain congressman on board WHO III
sisted on taking the places Of soldiers
The congressman had done no milit-
AIRY duty, but they wanted to get
home. So did the soldiers. who had
been through hell and out again that
congressman might lie to draw fat
salaries and talk unfortunately In a
comfortably upholstered council cham
Der.
The soldiers were left behind.
Some soldiers we're allowed to come
after the congressman had all been
assured that room would be m"de for
them, But the soldiers we e not al
lowed TO keep the quarters that had
been assigned TO them. Army officers
who had been through the tiercest Of
the fighting were compelled to give
up their state ~ to professional
politicians who found Prince AlbeTts
more comfortable that khaki. The
Officers were not eager to make the
change but the politicians insisted.
The matter is trivial, and yet it has
its bearing on philosophy. 1t rarely
phys to be a hero-in some one else's
behalf. The world has changed very
little since the days Of S~ennacherib.
We speak OF the recent "a as a holo-
cast, an Armageddon, an upheaval, a
cataclysm. Wa give it several of the
names that are the commonplaceS of
bromide journalese, Wedeclare that
the world has been revolutionized-
that human natu,e is now metamor
phosed. transformed.
1t isn't much Transformed. It will
take us about a year to realize what
a singular durability the more naus
eous traits of human character have
shown In surviving a purging pro-
cess which should have eliminated
them. 1t will be chiefly noticeable
In those who did not really gothrough
the purging process at all. Any con-
gress man whose natural vulgaritY
formed the keynote Of his character
before the war will continue to ex-
hibit that vulgarity to tie end of his
political career.
