BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for caiomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
on the liver is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-c olored tablets are
the result of DIR. Edwards deter
miaafion not to treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomeI.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that CaIomel does, but have no
Tad after-effeCts. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or
calomel. 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 CAL

ASKS LAW TO DEAL
WITH SED|T|OuS
Mr.. Palmer Urges Congress
to Act Promptly With
Situation.

Prompt action by Congress in pass
ing a law that will give the Depart
ment of Justice power to deal with
American citizens who advocate Sedl-
tion and the overthrow of organized
government is asked by Attorney
General Palmer in statement ad-
dressed to members of both houses.
MIR. Palmer's appeal comes on the
heels of the most far-reaching raid
ever made on radical organizations
in this country. and he asks that the
Davey bill, now before the House, be
passed. so thatt the department may
take action against those whose citi-
zenship makes it impossible to de-
port them. This bill was submitted
to Congress by the Attorney General
several months ago and he says it
mas been indorsed by both repub-
2icans and democrats.
I'm order that the Department of
Justice Mr.. Palmers statement said.

quickly with seditionists who are
American citizens, but who are seek
ing to injure or destroy the govern
ment. hope very earnestly that Con-
gress Immediately upon the reconven-
ing will enact into law a measure ad-
equate to meet the grave situation
now confronting us.
There EXISTS "a rea-Sn for f..-t:AA-
delay in the enactment of such law,
and l confidently expect that there
will be none. That seditionists 3
should be punished is denied by no
loyal citizens. and that our present
laws are inadequate is questioned by
none familiar with the facts
Several months ago, in appearing
before Senate committee. l made
clear the fact that the Department of
Justice was unable to proceed prop
erly against seditionists because of a
lack of statutory definition of the
n ole
of law which I thought would meet
the situation
Since that time the bill I outlined
has been introduced in the House bv
Representative Davey of Ohio, and
it now is in the hands of a subcommit-
Huested of New York, Graham of
pennsylvania and Gard of Ohio.
Epitomised the bill. after properly de-
filming acts of sedition, would provide
for a fine of not more than $4,000, or
Imprisonment of twenty years. or
both. for any person guilty of sedi-
ton: fine of not more than ten
years. or both, for any person guilty
of promoting sedition: for the de-
portation of any alien convicted of
either the foregoing crimes, and for
the decentralization and subsequent
deportation OF any naturaiized citizen

is to be maintained. Organizations of

STATE PRESS COMMENT

Fredericksburg starr

Prohibition in America is an econ
omic question. It is whether the
sum spent to make liquor and the
waste because of it. is equal to the
benefit of the pleasure it brings.
Whether the grain is better in bread
or in beer; whether or not the labor
that produces liquor is better spent
in producing something else. Not
whether a portion of $1,000 foreign
ers leave America in a certain period
because they do not like our laws,
Obviously. anyone has a right 10
his own views as to prohibition. But,
just as obviously, someone hundred
and twenty million Americans do not
need to even consider changing their
,, laws because a certain number OF
foreigners go back to the land OF
their birth.
