Washington, Oct 27.-Official in- formation received from Mexico City indicates that Carranza soldiers un- questionably were implicated in the Kidnapping of Wm. o. Jenkins, the American consular agent at Puebla, who was abducted on October 19 and released after his friends in Puebla had paid to the kidnappers $150,000 in American gold.
 State department officials have not intend to pay any of the ransom implication of 'Carranza military in the boldest kidnapping of an Ameri- can in the history of recent years in Mexico, but it is known that they look to the Mexican government to reimburse promptly the friends of Jenkins.
 The American government, it was said today at the department, does not intend to pay any of teh ransom money, either directly or indirectly. Officials expressed their belief that President Carranza would be glad to repay the friends of the consular agent.
 The department had no news re- garding the release of Jenkins dur ing the day, except a message from the American embassy in Mexico City, saying that Third Secretary of Embassy Hanna reported from Puebla that Jenkins had sent word from within the federal lines that he was free and was returning to Puebla.
 Goes to Hospital. Reports regarding Jenkins physi. cal condition and details of his kid. naping have been asked by the de. partment, and it was announced thai information regarding the case would be made public as soon as received It is feared that he was mistrated bS his captors, since it was reported unofficially, that he was going tt the American hospital for treatment The department, however, had no in | formation confirmatory of the re ports.
 Both the state and war depart ment are cooperating with Mexican authorities in an investigation of tn deaths of Lieut.. Cecil H. Connoll, and Lieut.. Frederick B. Waterhouse army aviators, whose bodies wer'
 found in Lower California. The in formation at the disposition of tn state department, it was said today is not sufficient to warrant the off cial charge that the two men wer
 murdered although that. had bee
 reported to the department"

BETTER THAN CALO|MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
sutute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive.
colored tablets are the result of Or.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
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 calomeI.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the: expense Of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that law
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel ''logy" and
