EUROPE'S SAD PLIGHT.

One of the clearest and most convinc-
ing statements regarding conditions in
Europe has been compiled from data
collected by Henry p. Dawson, chair
man of the board of governors of the
League of Red Cross societies. recently |
returned from the first conference of
this organization held in Geneva.
More than Il quarter of the world :
population is in Europe which Mr.. Da-
VISION divides into five groups. First
there are the unravaged ncutrals, Spain,
Switzerland Denmark. Norway and
Sweden with over 100000 populations;
defeated Germany and Austria form the
second group; Russia the third; Eng
land. France. Italy and Belgium the
fourth; and the less stabilized countries
of the central and eastern regions the
fifth
Strange to say, this fifth group pre-
SCENTS the most serious problem TO the
rest of the world In the broad belt
lying between the Baltic and the Black
seas there is appalling misery. For
something like 20O,00000O people in
this section disease. bereavement and
suffering are present in practically ev-
cry household. while food and clothing
ere insufficient to make life tolerable.
| Terrible epidemics of disease, typhus
| and tuberculosis leading, are sweeping
| hundreds of thousands into premature
| graves. In some way these people must
be furnished food, clothing, medicines
raw materials and the means of trans.
porting them or they will perish.
In Mr.. Dawson opinion voluntary
aid cannot save them but governments
must assume relief work. There SHOULD
be immediate assurance from the league
Of nations that food, clothing and trans
portation will be supplied by the gov
II ernmcnts and then the Red Cross vii
cooperate in supplying doctors, nurses
other necessary personnel, medical sup
plies. diet foodstuffs and such none,
as may be required.
Another conclusion of Mr.. Dawson
1 is that America can no more escape tn
1 influence of the present European stu
i alton than it was able to escape tn
war itself. ''We must help put Europ
I on its feet or we must participate i
/ Furopc's misery.'' "'Not until tn

MEANING OF TWO WORDS

CINCINNATI. April IO.-The fate
OF Albert Houser will depend upon
the Supreme Courts Interpretation
of two words.
Houser. who murdered his wife and
cut his own throat. was found ,sI;l:y
of first-degrec murder, with recon-
mendntion-. for mercy. Accordingly
he was sentenced TO life imprison-
ment without hope Of pardon.
The Court of Appeals set the sem
tence aside. contending that Judge
Struble in charging the jury had
said that if they were satisfied
that Houscr was insane they should
acquit him. The appellate court held
that the word "belieccd" should have
been used by the judge instead of
satisfied" as the two have different
meanings. County Prosecutor CapclIc
announced today he will appeal 10
the Supreme Court. Houscr's defense
was insanity.

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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-tl,e sub
stitute for calomel-are 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 calomel does. but have no
bad 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? Calonel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.

feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards
