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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive Oily In his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and heavy. "
Note how they clear clouded brain and

PRESS COMMENT.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROHIBITION

Publicity of the methods employed by
tho Anti-Saloon League to force prohibi-
tion upon the United States explains
much, but it does not explain it all The
chief factors in the passage of the pro-
hibltion amendment i'll Congress and its
ratification by most of the States have
been the saloonkeepers and the brewers
OF the United States. Their greed and
their abuse of the power heretofore
vested IN them in such efforts as were
made to regulate the liquor traffic did
more to bring about prohibition than all
of the efforts of the Anti-Saloon League.
Most of them not only violated the more
than liberal laws designed to regulate
the manufacture and sale Of intoxicants,
but they opposed openly and secretly
most efforts made by the opponents of
lawlessness III the traffic 20 halt the con-
tInuing abuse of the saloon
Here and elsewhere the brewers con-
tinualy financed the saloon In efforts to
stimulate the trade and increase their
profits. They forced the saloon where
it was not needed and where it was not
wanted.
II is mistake, therefore, fer those
who see in prohibition another evil TO
try to blame the Anti-Saloon League
for its coming.
1t is here largely because those who
dominated the liquor traffic, and who
for long time have dominated the poll
tics of this and other States, forced II.
Thov created condition without which
this country would not have gone head
long into the experiment of nationwide
prohibition. Philadelphia Record.

Smyrna and the Railroad

The people Of Smyrna, in the upper
| part of Kent county, are in state of
agitation over the curtaiment of their
railroad service by the removal of two
daily trains They insist that these two
| trains should be restored.
That Smyrna needs good railroad SER
| vice will not be denied 1t is one of the
most compact and city-looking towns in
| the State. Its municipal boundaries are
/ thoroughly built up. Also, with popula-
tion approximatng $500, and good
/ business, it is entitled 10 consideration
No wonder, therefore, the people arc up
in arms against the edict of the railroad
administration Il at deprivcs them of two
aims a day, trains which they believe
| they need and are entitled TO.
This situation serves 10 recall an in
tcrcsting incident in connection with tho
construction of the Delaware Railroad
! the main linc OF rail travel that travcrscs
this State, from Claymont 10 Delmar,
and now forms very important p;rt Of
the line Of through travel from New
York City to the South, by way of Nor
folk Originally, this railroad was pure
" State enterprise It's engineers, in sur
vcying the right of way, naturally took
the line through Smyrna, which even at
that time was town OF some consequence
in Delaware But it is said that tho land
owners Of the proposed right of way
through Smyrna were SO cxtortionatc i'll
their demands for prices for their lands
some of them even being opposed to the
building Of tho rnilroad-that the railroad
authorities would not even resort to
condemnation proceedings. They simply
ignored Smyrna and ran their road on
almost straight Inc from Townsend to
Dover, making a most Important station
at Clayton.
This movement built up Clayton, but
left smyrna in the lurch After awhile
SMYRNA people found they were dependcnt
upon railroad communication. and the
only wav thcv could get il was hy the
construction of branch road between
SMYRNA and Clayton, mile distant And
50 il was that Smyrna became q branch
hnc station instead Of what il might have
hccn one Of the most important stations
on the main Inc of the Delaware Rail
road Now. Smyrna people are aggricved
over the deprivation Of what they con
ccive to bc their rightful railroad service,
They must blame thcir ancestors Tor
driving the railroad mile from their
town
