Olive Tablets

lfyour skin is yellow-complexion pallid
tongue coated-appetite poor-yov have
a bad taste in your mouth-alazy, no-good
feeling-you should take Olive Tablets.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-a substitute
forcalomel-were prepared by Dr.. Edwards
after II years of study with his patients.
DR.. Edwards, Olive Tablets are purely
vegetable compound mixed with olive oil.
You will know them by their olive color.
To have clear, pink skin, bright eyes,
no pinples,Nl feeling of buoyancy like
childhood days you must get at the cause.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act on the
liver and bowels like calomel-yet have
no dangerous after effects. a
They start the bile and overcome ccnsti-

oUARRYING FOSSILS.
Scores of Skeletons Found on Nebras-
ka Farm.

Where do the museums of the eoun-
try get their strai1ge and curious skel-
etons of prehistoric animals? II the
skeleton is a "dinohyus or "mor-
opus one may be quite sure that it
came from the farm of James Henry
Cook in the northwest corner of Neb
raska; and the chances are almost
equally good if the specimen happens
to be a saber- toothed eat or q many
toed horse, or almost any of those queer
animals that belong to the early Min
ocene period, says r. p. Crawford, in
an Illustrated article in the March Pop
ular Mechanics magazine. Most ranch
men and farmers are quite content to
raise the ordinary sort of stock, but
here is a ranch that is most widely
known because of the output of pre-
historic animals. For more than a de-
cade psychologists from the great uni
versities and museums of this country
have made regular trips to these fossil
quarries.
The Cook farm and ranch, located
close to the Wyoming line, comprise
some $4,000 acres. On the eastern edge
of the ranch the Niobrara River has
laid bare two hills, from both of which
scores and scores of fossil skeletons
have been quarried. In the summer it
is 10 uncommon occurrence for repre-
sentatives of half q dozen eastern in
stitutions to pitch camp near these hills
and spend several months digging out
the fossil bones which, when worked
over in the museum, form the queer
| looking skeletons.

An Idle of Spring. =

Farming is great life. 1t is positive
JOY to sit and look at the water, the clear

to see the mother hen winging her chicks

CASUALTY LIST.
No. l in Second Series from War
Department News Bureau.

BY order of the secretary of
war the telegraphed casualty
service was suspended with the
releases of yesterday, but daily
casualty reports will continue to
be published by the war depart
ment and mailed through its
news bureau, released for publ
cation on delivery. Heretofore
the lists have been telegraphed
to Chicago and San Francisco
and distributed from those CEN
ters as well as Washington for
simultaneous publication in the
newspapers, the day of publica
ton being specified on each list.
The small volume of casualty .re
ports is the reason for the diseon-
tinuance of the telegraph method
of distribution.
Major casualties now being re-
ported from the American expe-
dictionary force are largely COM
posed of current deaths from dis
ease, accident, and other causes.
A few eases of "killed in ae-
tion,' "died of wounds
wounded" and "change of sta
tus" may be expected from time
to time as posthumous investi-
cations establish the fact that
missing men were in fact killed
or as hospital records are finally
searched in pursuance of the war
department policy of publishing
every casualty in the A. Z. +.
The latter policy brings into the
casualty list names of men who
were wounded months ago and
have long since returned to duty,
many of them now being safely
at their homes.
The first release under the new
system contains the following
summary:
Killed in action .......... 10
Died from wounds ... 3
Died from accident and other
causes 20

former system contained 81
names, but no Vermonters were
included.
