WILL CONSIDER CHANGE
IN D. C. MEDAL DESIGN
Committee at Tomorrow's Meeting
to Take Up Suggestion Made
by Secretary of War.

Until tomorrow, when Robert n.
come home parade, has called a final
meeting of his executive committee,
no decision can be reached as to
whether the committee will or will
not change the design of the $1,000
bronze medals planned as gifts to
local war veterans. 1t seems there
are points of resemblance between
the design of these medals and that of
the congressional medal of honor, and
attention has been called to this fact.
Mr.. Harper has received a courteous
communication from the War Depart
ment mentioning the resemblance and
expressing the hope that without any
pecuniary loss or other embarrassment
the executive committee may hit on
another design.
The communication also called at
tention to the bill now pending in
Congress which makes it unlawful to
wear insignia which might be mis-
taken or an official governmental serv-
ice medal. Gen. March, chief of staff,
has pointed out to Chairman Harper
that the two insignia in question
somewhat resemble each other and
might be confused by an undiscrimi-
mating eye. There are, however diff
ferences fully as noticeable as the
points of resemblance.
Isaac Cans, chairman of the medal
committee, states that about $500 OF
the medals have been cast Inasnuch
as no plan of distributing them has
yet been worked out, the decision as to
whether any more shall be cast or
whether new dies shall be struck
will have to await the Cleanup meet
ing tomorrow.

Stomach Upset?
Get at the Real Cause-Take Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets.

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up
a poor digestion, they are attacking
the real cause of the ailment-cIog-
ged liver and disordered bowels.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in soothing, healing
way. When the liver and bowels
are performing their natural func-
tions away goes indigestion and
stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
law, don't=care feeling, no ambition
or energy, troubled with undigested
foods, you should take Olive Tab
let's, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil. You will know them
by their olive color. They do the
work without gripping, cramps or
pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for
quick relief, SO you can eat what

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheapiy made at home,
but it beats them all for
quick results

Thousands of housewives have
found that they car save two-fhirds
of the money usually spent for
cough preparations, by using this
well known old recipe for making
cough syrup at home 1t is simple
and cheap, but it really has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right
hold of cough and gives immedi-
ate relief, usually stopping an ordi4
nary cough in "a hours or less.
Get 81. ounces of pinex from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle,
and add plain granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
keeps perfectly, and lasts a family
a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
ii acts, penetrating through every
air passage of the throat and lungs
-iooseus and raises the phiegm,
soothes and heals the membranes,
and gradually but surely the annoy
ing throat tickle and dreaded cough
disappear entirely. Nothing bet
ter for bronchitis, spasrodiC Group,
whooping cough or bronchial
asthma.
Pinex is special and highly con-
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract, known the world
over for its healing effect OF the
membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking
your druggist for "zIl ounces of
pinex" with full directions and don't
accept anything else. Guaranteed
to give absolute satisfaction or
money promptly refunded.

ence of the Associated Press sl--Lon-
don has been suffering lately from a
scarcity of tobacco, notably of cigar
cites. This, according to John Pear
son. president of the National Union
of Retail Tobacconists, is due to the
fact that the shipping control only
permitted 10000 tons of tobacco a
month to come into the country,
while more people smoked than for
merely. There were more woman
smokers, he said.
Mr.. Pearson declared that in a gov
ernment department he knew of
twenty minutes were set aside every
morning for the employees to smoke
their cigarettes" Mr.. Pearson found
no harm in this because his tobacco
mist shop was next door.
