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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive OILY in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calorel
does but have no bad after effects No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and heavy"
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits. lOc and 25c box.

FRENCH COAL OUTPUT GROWS
Damaged Mines Of Northern Part Of
Country Slowly Being Put In
Shape.

Paris. - Gradual improvement in
Frances coal production shown in fig

deputies, is giving comfort to econo-
mists, but is not counted upon to re-
lieve the chilliness Of homes or mark
eddy affect factories for some time.
The mines damaged by the German
invasion are slowly being put in shape
and it is expected that they will pro-
duce 100000 tons monthly by the end
Of the year, If all goes well. This
would be half Of pre-war production.
1t was admitted the normal rate would
not be reached for some years.
Difficulties in pumping out flooded
mines and repairing dynamited shafts
have proved the chief obstacles. Or
ders for machinery are accepted only
for delivery in from four months to
four years.
Belgian firms finally have been en-
gagged to aid in the reconstruction
work after negotiations with Germans
failed.

ABORIGINEs POWDERED NOSE
Recent Find Shows Girls Of Prehis-
toric Age Beautified Themselves
With Ochre.

Los Angeles, Cal. - Present-day
girls, with their cosmetics, orange
sticks and nail powders, may be
chagrined to learn that their aborigi-
nal sisters, who disported themselves
beside the Pacific generations ago,
knew something about personal adorn-
ment.
A stone powder puff found on
Santa Catalina island, together with
a prehistoric toothbrush, is evidence
Of the early-day activity of women,
according to Ralph Glidden, who made
the discoveries while searching In
dian graves on the island for the Hayo
foundation.
The bristles Of the toothbrush were
gill fibers from the jawbone Of the
stingaree and the puff" probably
would seem heavy today, for although
it looks like the modern bit of down,
1t feels like lump Of lead. It was
used, it is said, to crush the ochre
with which the Indians beautifled
themselves.

SlBERlANS UP AGAINST REDS
Three Rich Cities Are Reported
Ruined by Bolshevist
Terrorism.

Tokyo, Japan.-A dispatch to the
Kokusai News agency from Hardin,
Manchuria, quotes a Russian mer-
chant just arrived there from western
Siberia as describing the situation
there as follows:
"Tomsk, Novo- Nikolaevsk and Kras-
noyarsk, formerly the richest cities
of Siberia, now present the appear
ance of dead towns. The streets are
deserted, the shops closed and very
many Of the houses have been de-
stroyed by fire.
1.-THE populace is terrorized by con-
slant public executions. M. Adrianoff,
editor Of the Sibirskaya, and M. Fill
monoff, editor Of the SvobOdnaya ST.
bir, have both been executed at
Tomsk. The Kolchak officers who
we're imprisoned at Krasnoyarsk are
reported executed.
1.-THE peasants are everywhere in re-
volt against the reds and refuse to
send any food to the towns. In the
vicinity of Minusinsk they have
formed five regiments and are push
ing an offensive against the reds"

STRAW KITCHEN UTENSILS
Italy Make coianders and
Sleeves.

Collestrada, Italy.-The Junior Red
Cross school at Collestrada, Italy, is
making kitchen utensils from osiers
and withes to supply the countryside
with the hardware that it is impos-
sible to buy from stamping mills in
Italy since the war. Collestrada Is in
the heart of Umbria, where straw
plating and osier weaving are two Of
the principal industries. The orphans
at the Collestrada school make colan-
ders and sleeves and market baskets In
sufficient quantities to furnish the
neighboring villages.
The reed receptacles are woven very
is an important utensil in part of
Italy where the flour is ground on
hand grist mills and contains many
coarse particles. Another method Of
making these sifters is to weave three
thicknesses of horsehair across a
wooden hoop, which Sits as fine as the
best articles manufactured with steel
wire.
The woven receptacles of Umbria
are not exported from Italy this year
because the country can use the en-
tire output to replace those formerly
made Of metal by Italian stamp mills.
Even the large output Of the Junior
Red Cross colony at Collestrada,
which approximates a hundred paniers
and colanders each week, is entirely
absorbed by the needs Of the nearest
villages. The children learn to do the
work in a short time, for the only ex-
ceptional skill required is in choosing
the material carefully and soaking the
splints and withes correctly.

sidered obsolete.
Ten years ago the navy destroyer
force consisted of about 3S vessels.
including II torpedo boats, even then
practically obsolete. This year Admir-
ais Wilson and Rodman command de-
stroyer forces aggregating more than
200 vessels, with over 100 more in re-
serve or under construction. In 1910
l6 submarines were carried on the &C.
tive list of the navy. This year nearly
100 of the submersibles are attached
to the two fleets, with about rs more
under construction.
Little Change in Cruiser Strength.
The cruiser strength of the navy has
shown little change in the last ten
years. In 1910 the backbone of the
cruiser force was the ''big eight" ar
mored cruisers, now reduced to six by
the loss of the San Diego and the Men,
phis. No light cruisers of Importance
have been launched in the last decade.
One Of the most striking increases
in American naval strength in the last
ten years has been in auxiliary vessels.
Both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets
now have well-organized and complete
trains" of hospital ships, supply
boats, repair vessels, refrigerating
ships, ammunition and fuel ships, in
addition to motor patrol vessels, sub
marine chasers, mine sweepers and
mine layers converted yachts, sub
marine and destroyer tenders and
troop transports, practically I'M
dreamed of decade ago.

GOLD PRODUCTION REDUCED
Output Last Year Below 1918 and 1920
May Be Still Lower, Says Geo
logical Survey.

Washington. D. C.-Less gold was
produced throughout the world last
year than in 1918, and indications are
that the 1920 output also will show a
reduction, according to the United
States geological survey, which on
incomplete returns places the 1919 pro-
duction at from $345,OOO,0OO to $780,
100000. World production in 1918 was
almost 1881, 100000, of which the
United States produced $5S,2S5, 1856.
Returns for the first six months Of
this year indicated the United States
production for 1920 probably will be
less than $50,000,000. The reports
showed shortage of water for placer
mining and many stamp mills closed.

Mexico City-Mexico will export
during 1920 between 130,0O0OO0 and
135,O0O,0OO barrels Of oil, more than
all the rest of the world, including the
United States, according to estimates
made by George Blardone, Tampico oil
statistician. He bases his figures upon
the record-breaking production Of oil
in this country for the first five months
of 1920, when, he says, exports were
4S,617,167 barrels, compared with 49,
235,039 barrels in the same period Of
1919.
The estimate for 1920 Of $50, 1000, 900
barrels is approximately 72 per cent
greater than last years production.

No Flaw Shows in Operation of
Boston Dealer in Interna-

PROFITS BY EXCHANGE Rate
Converts American Cash Into Foreign
Money and Buys International Re-
ply Coupons RedeemabIe at
Normal Exchange Rate.

Boston.-A ban has been placed on
the rush of people to give their money
to Charles Ponzi, head of the Securi-
ties Exchange company, on his prom
fse to repay their investment with so
per cent profit in 45 days.
After a conference with District At
torney Pelletier, Ponzi, whose business
Is described as the exchanging Of in
ternational reply coupons from one
country to another, agreed to accept
no further deposits until an auditor
selected by the district attorney has
examined his accounts, which are said
to run into millions.
District Attorney Pelletier said the
action taken was 'in no sense a final
closing down Of the business"
For several weeks past crowds Of
persons have f1ocked to Ponzi's offices
for notes of the Securities Exchange
company for the principal plus so per
cent, payable in 30 days. Invariably
Ponzi is said to have paid off the notes
in As days and there has been no COM
plant that any person has failed to re-
ceive money when due.
Takes Advantage Of Exchange Rate.
Ponzi describes his exchange system
in general way as being based on
the use Of international reply cou-
pons authorized under the information
afpostal agreement as the medium for

With deposits received from custom
ers, Ponzi explained, he converts
American dollars into Italian lire, or
other foreign money. Then, through
agents located in several countries
are purchased, redeemable at the nor
NAL and not the prevailing rate Of ex-
change. The coupons are then trans
mitted by the agents from one Euro
pean country to another, gathering
profits through succeeding differences
in rates Of exchange, with assured nor
NAL payment for redemption, until the
transaction is completed and the pro-
ceeds reconverted into American dol
lars. This usually takes 45 days, &C
cording to Ponzi, who says his profits
have reached 400 per cent in some
transactions.
U. S. Agents Can't Find Flaws.
Ponzis operations have been under
investigation by federal, state and
county officials for some time without
uncOvering any violation Of law.
United States Attorney Gallagher said
he was not certain yet whether the
matter was one with which the federal
authorities should concern themselves.
The United States attorney said he

ties that the United States govern
ment Is the largest user of information

entire issue Of the past II months by
the government, however, Is only

which must have been handled by

income which he claims to have made
