BETTER THAN CAIONEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

Dr. Edwards Olive Tabiets-tte sub stitute for calon1A-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomeL
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calonel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calon,el. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calornel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.

TO THOSE CONTEMPLATING
 IMPROVEMENT AT CEMETERY

The officers of the Mountain View Cemetery Association wish to inform all persons contemplating improve ments on any lots, graves or stones, that before such work can re under taken it will be necessary to confer with the Association officers. This is not an arbitrary ruling but is made because of a desire to have all such work uniform so far as possible.
 The Cemetery Association also an- nounces through these columns that at a recent meeting it was voted to ex- tend membership so that any person accepted by the Board of Governors, and paying annual dues of five dollars may be come a member.

FINDS OLD RECORD
 BEATING FORD

Ford Racer 1899" which in 1903-4 started the, Ford reputation toward Success by Beating the Mile Min ute" record in the hands of Barney Oldfield and Henry Ford, himself, was recently discovered and bought by w. L. Hughson, Ford Dealer in San Fran cisco. The car was cleaned up, shined and insured for $25, 1000, and sent on an exhibition tour. It was shown at the San Francisco Automobile Show and proved to be great attraction.
 This car made its debut in 1904 when Henry Ford drove it to Success at speed of one mile in 39 4-5 sec onds on an ice track built on Balti- more Bay. The Ford Times" of July 1903, referring to 1929" says, "It won race after race in every part of the country. Its performance was a real sensation, not only here but abroad, and did as much to make known the name of Ford as any other circum- stance"
 This same article, after boasting of the 10000 Ford owners-there are now more than 5000, ,O00-goes on to tell why racing was discontinued: '1n the early days of the Industry, racing undoubtedly stimulated busi- ness and was of benefit as a trade bringer for new product. Today it is unnecessary to engage in races and stunts to awaken interest which a growing demand for cars evidences. There was a time though, when no entry was considered complete until the Ford entry was in, and the rec ords of these four and five years ago are replete with triumphs of Ford cars, guided to victory by such ex- perts as Henry Ford, Frank Kulick and by Barney Oldfield."

TOTAL GOLD LOSSES
 ABOUT HALF BILLION

With the sharp decline in sterling exchange Wednesday morning, from $3.81 to $3.75, the publicity forces of the international banking interests were immediately placed in action with the result that the public was advised that the gold movement about to start will total at least $1OO,- OOO,OOO." The sterling exchange mar ket closed the same day at $3.S3s against a "low" of $3.75 for the day. As was to be expected the London sill yer market was used co-jointly for a raid on silver prices, with 5A cent decrease reported on bids.
 The consignment of $10,000,00O gold for Argentina which was suppos- ed to have been shipped on April "A, did not leave New York, so it is said. It was reported April 2S that gold coin to the amount of $5,90O,OOO had been withdrawn for Argentina ship ment April 28. It is not known how much will go out on the May 1 boat. The decision not to ship the $10,OOO,- 900 gold April "A (this amount was subsequently increased to $12,OO0,OO0) was somewhat confusing and no ex- planation has been offered. It is really difficult at the moment to check gold shipments to Argentina and it may be necessary to await final re- ports by the Treasury Department.
 Total gold arrivals from London (March 23 to April 3O) are $51,050,- 900, of which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. re- ceived $3,25O ,O0O; the balance of $47,- 100000 is supposed to be from the British treasury. No change in the gold reserves of the Bank of England have been shown in several weeks. Total gold exports to Argentina since March 23 amount to at least $30,35O,- 900. This amount has been publicly reported. The Treasury Department reported losses in gold stocks of this country at $125,429,759 for the year and up to April 1. April losses will exceed $40,0O0,0O0. This would rep resent combined gold losses of $499,- 602,89O since our largest reserves were reached, in May, 1917. The com bined Federal Reserve Bank statement for April "A showed loss of $5, 5,601,- 900 in gold reserves for one week. Despite the peculiar methods used of depositing London gold with the New York Federal Reserve Bank, then re- porting increased gold reserves and latenl withdrawing this gold for Ar gentina shipments, the drain on that institution appears to be rather heavy.
 On May 15 the $50,000,000 gold bond issue of the Argentina govern ment is payable in New York. It is understood that Great Britain will take care of half of this amount, but the net balance of the recent London gold shipments is not more than $17,350, ,000 and may be much less. Argentina probably has a special gold fund in New York, but reports that $50,O00,- 900 gold has been shipped here to meet the Anglo French loan of $500,- 000,000 due October 15, and that this amount will be increased to $150,0OO,- 900 shortly appear rather "exaggerat- ed" It is said in London, however, that it is much easier to get this kind of publicity lover" in this country than in the British centre, although it is almost entirely to the benefit of British interests.

WHOLESALE PRICES
 UP 12O PERCENT

San Francisco, May 8, 1920.-The Supreme Council of the Peace Con- ference. in recent memorandum, placed the economic situation of the world frankly before the nations. That memorandum states that general wholesale prices have advanced since 1913 approximately as follows:
 United States ...........: 120 percent
 Great Britain ............ ITO percent
 France -................... 300 percent
 Italy ..,....................... 300 percent
 Belgium ............. 300 percent
 Those, be it remembered, are whole sale prices. Retail prices undoubted- ly have advanced an equal or greater extent. The United States has suf- fered less than the other nations, but even at that the strain has been se were on every citizen. There are many persons who declare that prices can not go higher. The figures of the Su- preme Council show exclusively that the figures for this country CAN go higher. It is the duty of every Amer ican citizen so to conduct his life that they DO NOT go higher. The Su- preme Council has no magic word with which to renew the prosperity of mankind or to equalize supply and de- mand. That can be done only by following the urgent advice of the Savings Division of the Treasury De- partment, which is identical with that of the Supreme Council, with that of the President of the United States, with that of every clear think ing economist, business man, labor leader, and financier in the world PRODUCE, ECONOMIZE, SAVE, AND INVEST SAFELY.
 The Supreme Council pleads for new sanity in expenditure throughout the world. Economy by individuals will reduce the cost of essential arti- cles both for the individual and his fellows. Saving and safe investment in sound government securities, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Saw ings Certificates, will set free capital for the reconstruction of their coun- try and the restoration of the machin- cry of industry throughout the world.

CHARGE DUTCH WITH SHIELDING CRIMINAL
 IN NEW ALLIED NOTE:
Urge Danger of Presence of Former Emperor Under Ineffective Supervi-
 sion Near Border
sy Associated Pres.

London. February 16.-The new note sent by the allies to Holland again urges the danger of the permanent presence of the former Emperor under what is de- clared to be fatally ineffective super vision a few kiiometers from the German frontier. It begs Holland to reconsider the question of asylum for the ex-ruler
 The note contends that the immense sacrifice of the allies entitle them to ask the Netherlands to consider the allied viewpoint, but the powers do not ask that she depart from her traditions and policy. The powers. point cat that the League of Nations has not yet reached a state of development permitting it, or any tribunal created by il. to take the needful prompt and effective action.
 The note expressed the surprise at the absence of any word of disapproval of the former Kaisers crimes in the Dutch reply. and reminds the Queens govern ment that by adherence to it's viewpoint it would assume the direct responsibility of sheltering criminal from justice. ana for that uganda which is dangerous to Europe and the whole world
