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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For IL years he used
these tablets Ia vegetable compound,
mixed with olive OILY in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
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. l0c and 25c box.

REPUDIATE CHARGES
OF SHIP BOARD GRAFT
Illinois Men Ask Why Conn
nrittee Heard but One Side.

CHICAGO, Nov 10--The Illinois Manu-
facturors Association tonight sent a
telegram to Frederick r. Gillett, Speaker
OF the House, asking why the Walsh
committee published charges of alleged
graft in the Shipping Board and 'im-
pugned the honesty of high officials
without giving these men opportunity to
appear before the committee" The
telegram follows:
THE men who have been assailed by
the publication OF charges purported to
have been given out by the Walsh COM
mittee have been for years closely as
ISOLATED with and highly esteemed by
the Illinois Manufacturers Association.
Our people are Interested in them; we
want them TO have square deal and
therefore make the following presenta-
ton:
why does the Walsh committee pub
fish charges of two former employees of
the Shipping Board impugning the COM
potency, integrity and honesty of the
high officials of the Emergency Fleet
Conservation and the United States Ship
ping Board without giving these men op-
portun,ty to appear before the commit
tee? Why hasn't the Walsh committee
the courage TO pass upon the validity of
these charges and issue them in its own
name?
THE Walsh committee was appointed
20 ascertain facts in connection with the
conduct of affairs of the United States
Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. Why hasn't it accepted this
responsibility by sitting as a judge in
this case. pronouncing Judgment after an
impartial hearing OF both sides? Has
political expediency and political bias so
permeated the committee that II has as
sumcd the function of prosecuting attor-
ney? Before the result of the commit
tees long and very costly investigation is
worthy of any consideration or any con-
fidence, the committee is under the obli-
cation Of purging itself OF the charge OF
studied bias and unfairness."

graft charges of A. NJ Fisher and J. f.
Richardson in their report on United
States shipping Board operations as try
ing to purchase under blanket con-
tract all supplies and stores or the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. dis
claimed to-day any knowledge OF irregu-
larities IN his concerns dealings with
the Shipping Board.
Mr. Barde. Who came here to inspect
the HOG Island shipyard. said that his
company a few DAYS ago submitted a
/ bid OF $40. 900 COO for the big plant. and
that he expected to leave within day
or two for Washington to discuss the
hid with Admiral Benson. With the bid,
Mr. Barde said. he enclosed certified
check for 100000. Two other bids
made by his concern, one for s4.000.O 900
and another for 100000. were re-
jected. Should his company get the
plant, he said, II probably would scrap
part of Il and put the trackage In such
shape that the yard could be offered for
sale as an ocean terminal I'VE wouldn't
operate Hog Island" he added. "as we
are only brokers"
A blanket Reputation OF tho charges
was made tonight by Commander j. l..
Ackerson. for more than year director
and vice president of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
These Wholesale charges of graft
and maladministration are absurd
Commander Ackerson asserted. IF
conditions had been anything like as
bad as they are painted 1 should have
known of It. Every precaution was
taken to guard against the sale OF ma
terial at unduly low rates, and there
were many offers turned down as too
low"
