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

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stftute for calornel-are a 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
caIomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets
The 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 quickiycorrect 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, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation ano
q disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" ano
eheavy." Note how they clear ciouded
brain. and howthey "perkup" the spr1tS

TOWNSHIP FAILS
TO ASSESS OVER
HUNDRED PEOPLE

Because 120 persons were not
assessed last year in South Mo-
line township, they will have to
pay a double assessment this year.
The fact that all assessments were
not made, was brought out at the
township board meeting Tuesday.
No blame was attached for the fail
ure to assess all residents. It was
also reported that 5000 deficit was
found in the road and bridge fund.
The tax for the township last year
was 81, 500. A committee consist
ing of Charles A. Larson, Eli
Meersman and George BASTARD
heard the reports of officers. H.
c. Quade presided at the meeting.

FILE PETITIONS
FOR REELECTION
School Board Members Whose
Terms Expire To Have Names
On Ballot April 10.

Petitions asking reelection have
been fled by members of the Mo
line board of education whose
terms expire this year. The
school election will be held Tues
day, April 10. L. f. Mutt has also
filed a petition seeking election to
fill the vacancy left on the board
by the resignation of Theodore
Weigandt, who recently left the
city.
The members whose terms ex-
pire and who ask reelection are
DR.. Mabel Otis, AL Anderson, A. r.
Rosborough and T F. Wharton.
Petitions may be filed by candi-
dates at any time before 10 days
previous to the election. Any legal
voter of the city is eligible to run
and as many candidates can file
petitions as desire to enter the
election. Fifty signatures are
needed on the petition before it
can be put on the ballot. Women
are also eligible to election. Peti-
tons can be obtained at the office
of the board in the high school
building and must be filed there.
1t is probable that two other
propositions, besides that of elect
ing members to the board, may be
voted on at the April - election
If the state legislature and Gov
ernor Frank o. Lowden approve
of the bill now before the state
body which asks that a higher tax
levy be made for school purposes,
voters of Moline will ballot on the
propositions of floating bonds to
the amount of $4,000 for the pur-
pose OF building a school in the
Logan district and will have the
chance to approve of the higher tax
levy for schools.

est Given Such Rank in Med
icaI Department.

Advancement to the rank of cap
tain has been given to A Henry
Arp, son of the late Surgeon A. Fl.
Arp, who is now with the American
expeditionary forces in France.
The promotion carries with it
special honor for it is seldom that
an officer of Captain Apps age is
given such rank in the medical de-
partment. 1t is known that the Mo-
line surgeon has spared himself no
work in the foreign field and the
promotion that is his comes as a
recognition of the valuable service
he has rendered.
Captain Arp was called to France
in June. 1918 from Fort Riley,

TWO ALIENS SEEK
 CITIZENSHIP HERE

Declaring his intention of becoming citizen of the United States. Ab- dullah Severin Deen, who emigrated to this country from Calcutta in May 1910, yesterday filed the necessary pa- pers in the office of the cleark of the United States district court. Deen for the past few years has been engaged in farming in the Buckeye valley.
 Francisco Herrera, a miner of Su- perior, who came to the United States from Mexico in February, 1914, also filed his declaration of intention.
 During the last term of court in Oc- tober a number of applicants were ad- mitted to citizenship by Judge Net erer of Seattle, who presided. Judge Neterer at the time called attention to the fact that the admission to citi- zenship of man admits to citizenship his wife and children which necessi- tated the standard of development be- ing attained by the entire fimly.

race against the fastest riders in the country. Crandall having announced the entry of a machine, to be ridden either by himself of Curly Thomas.
 The feature of the days race pro- gram will be the race for the Arizona state championship in a, 25-mile event, a prize now held by Red Parkhurst. Another feature will be the attempts to break the fair grounds track record of 46 seconds for the mile, now held by Don Johns.
 The prizes for the various events at the race meet total $500, and good com petition has been assured. Many busi- ness concerns, such as the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company and others, are supporting the meet.
 Probably the most thrilling part of the program will be the broad jumps with motorcycle, in which machines have in the past leaped scores of feet without turning turtle with their dar- ing riders. AS whole, the program will offer such thrillers that a record race meet attendance is already pre- dicted.

New Orleans-"The morning after the day before" was the popular song rendered in lugubrious tones by those who participated in a night of wild hilarity recently, during which prac- tically every last gill of whiskey was consumed, and more than $100,000 was transferred from the pockets of the roysterers to the tills of saloonkeepers.
 Drinks brought as high as 75 cents each, and when the whiskey was ex- hausted the saloons supplied gin.
 Restaurants and saloons did a rec ord business during the dozen or more hours of the drinking orgy.

Retail selling prices for produce were generally higher yesterday than at any time during the last several weeks. Practically ell of the common fruits and vegetables were quoted ct higher figures than last week, the in crease in bunch vegetables from two for a nickel to three for dime being a fairly representative rise for the whole. From all indications the in creases were due to the law of supply and demand.
 Arrivals on the market yesterday included a car of bananas, a car of Big Y'' apples, a car of assorted vegetables, a large shipment of Oregon | fir Christmas trees, and a large ship ment of holiday nuts of all kinds.
