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 ailnent - clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in a soothing. healing way. When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care. feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with, undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub.
stitute for calomel
Dr.. Edwards Give 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 you like.

Churches Start Drive
-. To Curb Illiteracy

shington, Sept. IS. (SpeciaD-
The Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches announce at the same mo-
ment comprehensive campaigns in
behalf of, 100000 illiterates and
5,W0,000 immigrants of the country.
The same in their announcements,
and almost in the same words, they
regard the church morally bound to
~help these people, and that it has
hong neglected the task. The Cath
olic announcement says the litter
ateS have no real appreciation of
democracy. and immigrants no
Americanism. The Catholic work
issto be done by the National Cath
olic War council, and the Episcopal
BY that churches board of missions.
Both campaigns announce the
extensive use of moving pictures.
These pictures will rarely be shown
in churches, but will be used in
parish houses, in public halls, and
even out OF doors. In the case of
Catholics, buildings are to be erect
ed in part for communities, and in
part for these pictures, the council
putting this form of its work under

courses will be free, open to every

POLITICAL CRISIS
THOUGHT NEAR IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Election Of Arthur Henderson
Looked Upon as Direct Re-
pudiation Of Coalition
Policy.

soLondon, Sept. 1.-THE result o.
she by-eleetion Of Widnes, Lancas.
Ter. in which Arthur Henderson, the
labor leader, was elected to the
House of Commons is considered
a~severe blow to the coalition gov
eminent and has revived speculation
rs to the imminence OF another gen.
eral election. The virtually unani-
nous vote of the trades union con-
gress at Glasgow for the nationaliza-
tion Of mines and today's vote on the
subject of withdrawing British
troops from Russia are regarded as
evidence of a very determined atti-
tnde on the part of labor against the
government.
1t is pointed out that there are
suspicious as to the governments S
intentions concerning Russia and
conscription and that the Glasgow
congress declined clearly to con-
denim the policy of direct action but
only strategically sidetraeked the
USClslOH.
=. Reconstruction IL Overdue.
The reconstruction of the cabinet
IL long overdue and has been delayed
only because ministerial changes
would involve by-elections which, it
10 said, would almost certainly pro-
vide additional evidence that the
tide of feeling in the country is rum
ming strongly against the govern
ment. Added to difficulties in the
field Of labor is the Irish question
which seems impossible for the
coalition government to satisfactor-
ify solve. On all sides the consensus
Of opinion inclines to the view that
another appeal to the country cam
aot be long delayed.
It 10 understood that ~ soon as
Premier David Lloyd George re-
turns from France he intends to
summon the inner cabinet to discuss
the whole situation.
/. Henderson Explains Election.
Arthur Henderson, in an inter
view here last night on his success
IN Widnes. said his victory was "an
emphatic condemnation of the coali-
tion governments policy and of the
cynical political compromise upon
which the government rests"
II believe" he continued, "that
tie origin of the demand for a
policy of direct action lies in the
fact that the present Parliament is
felt to be wholly unrepresentative
Of the nation and Is dominated by
reactionary influences. This has in
VOWED the country in proceedings
which are the negation of democra-
cy. 1t is shown in developments in
Russia, Hungary and, near home, in
Ireland, where the situation is obvi-
ously grave. Widnes is a warning
the government cannot afford to
ignore"

DR.. Nordau, Pioneer Zionist,
Appeals to American JeWry
Famous Author Now Exile in Spain, Reports to
National Zionist Assembly, Which meets Sunday
in Chicago, the Appalling Conditions in Europe.

Chicago, Sept. l3.-(Special.) j.
DR.. Max Nordau, now an exile in
Spain, has sent an appeal to the Ma
tional Zionist assembly meeting in
Chicago on September ID, and the
week following, to realize that up
on Jews of the United States rests
the fate of the Jews of all Europe.
1t is understood that Associate JUS
tice Brandeis, just back from Pal
estine and France, brings the same
word, and it is known that Judge
Julian w. Mack of Chicago and
DR.. Stephen S. Wise of New York,
will say the same in formal reports
they are to make. Judge Mack was
at the head of the delegation sent
to the Parish conference by the
American Jewish congress held at
Philadelphia nearly a year ago and
the Rev. DR.. Wise was a member
of the delegation.
The aims of these reports, it is
already known, will be to induce
if possible Great Britain to become
mandatory for Palestine, to obtain
guarantees through the Paris con-
ference for equal civil and religious
rights for Jews of all Europe, and
to induce Judaism of the United
States to get under the full burden
of Jewish rehabilitation of the
world. There are 100000 of Jews
abroad to 100000 here, but the
former feel that the latter are the
only Jews able to help them. Great
stress will be laid at this assembly
upon the necessity of including all
of Palestine in the future Land of
Israel, in order that there may be
room for all of the oppressed Jews
of Europe.
Dr.. Max Nordau is the most
prominent Zionist of the age. He
is a noted author and prior to the
war made his home in Paris. Now
he lives in exile in Spain.
Born in 1849 in Budapest, he es-
tablished a name for himself at an
early age and his book, "Conven-
tional Lies of Kultur," was regarded
as a bold attack on the ethics on
the modern European civilization
in general, and the government lie"

Churches Bear Upon
Japanese for Better
Treatment Of Koreans

!. New York, Sept. l3.-(Special.)-
Sunday school people who are push

~ a reason for Americans to go an
influence upon Japanese sentiment

Is not being mean and nasty to your
enemy. Its battalion commanders
would not hesitate in an emergency,
and its veteran gunners would roll
barrages of FIRE accurately and
steadily in front of the infantry.
Where strong points resisted, the
artillery would be prompt with its
blast of destruction to clear the way.
AS per schedule begins the account
of thi. operation-the coldest prose
l have ever seen for as hot 4 piece
of work as l have ever seen.
"The Germans had 4 hot recep-
ton for the First, but the First ex-
pected this. 1t was due on those
heights unless the Germans forgot
the art of war. Four new divisions
were identified on the First's front
on the first days attack. Constant
ly, undaunted by casualties, the di-
vision kept blowing ahead, blasting
the enemy's counter-attacks before
he could bring enough troops to
bear, keeping the initiative in its own
hands. There were delays from
scorching machine gun fire down the
roads and ravines, on the slopes of
hill 240, from gas and shell, as we'll
as machine gun fire, delays before
machine gun fastnesses that would
have bafled inexperienced hands,
but no prolonged repulses.
"For eight days the First was
fighting steadily, not taking bites,
but in determined persistent action"
