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

pr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calonlel-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 calomeI.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calonel iccs. but have no bad after effects, They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calon1el. 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 It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Headaches, "dullness'' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when v01l fHol ''loo,-".''

Shipping Board
 Defrauded of Thousands

 this port. report directly b us. we alone having the right to authorize purchases of supplies or exI Ien ditures for repairs. All repairs a, present must be made according to ipecifca- tion and under bond. Every Iill must have my signature before it(wiIl be paid, and the result of this haA been a saving of as much as 50 per ant on many items. Conditions famerly were so bad that I have even heard that in some cases food was thrown overheard in order to create a ssort- age so that purchases could\ be made" ,,..- I
 During the first four weeks of the supervision provided by the new ar engagement it was officially estimated that a saving for the Shipping Board, which means for the United States government, of s5O,000 for food alone and $25,000 for repairs was made. As a result of this campaign at least one arrest is expected when a certain ship arrives in New York.
 There are 23 lines under the Ship ping Board which have vessels cal1- ing at ports in this Jurisdiction There are on an average 22 vessels on hand at all times. The average cost for maintaining these is from s1,5oO to $2,000 each per day. Before the war, an American vessel on the River Platte was curiosity.
 Since the Shipping Board had no offices of its own to take charge of its-vessels in ports throughout the world.'' continued Captain Garden, cit was usually necessary to entrust the care of it's ships to established agen- cies. Many of these steamship agents had already for years been the representatives of foreign and possi- ply competing lines. The result has been that in many cases American vessels have been held back while other ships were given the prefer ence, causing the expenses of Ameri- can ships to mount up through port charges and lost time.
 Tn all River Platte ports losses from this source have been very great as well as those through over chafses for supplies repairs and so 1orth There is one case on record where an American ship was held up TOT months for repairs and charges totallng about $300,000 were piled up agalnst her. But we are seeing to it now that Shipping Board vessels get into port and get away again without unnecessary delay. The saving. to the Shipping Board from this attention undoubtedly will be sevecaI hundred thousand dollars annually
 Agents who have the interests .of other nationalities more at heart than American are coming to learn that they are not entitled to more than a legitimate profit from American ves- sels and must handle them efficiently if they want American business Caaptain Garden and his assistant, Captain Farwell, are officers of the United States Coast Guard, detailed on Shipping Board service. During g the war Captain Garden was port captain of New York and had charge of loading more than 1000 tons of high explosives, making a record, it is said, of never having had an acci- dent or lost a man.

A
 FOREIGN SPY
(Continued from Page One)


 sentative of the A. F. of L., was real labor circles or whether he was a secret spy of the industrial inter ests or whether he played both ends against the middle, as it were, and was both.
 He was always free with his money in labor circles and was popular with the workmen with whom he talked and carried on business. His ability to speak eight languages and all the Russian and Polish dialects made him extremely valuable in reaching the part of the forces of the big rolling mills and foundries in the Naugatuck valley.
 The only criticism made of his work with the strikers was the point that he never counse1ed violence but rather leaned to arbitration and con- ferences.
 Although the officials worked for a. time upon the theory that Mrs So- kolowsky might have been the in strument of secret and foreign inter ,ests who might be interested in the mans death this idea has been prac- ticaI1y given up. It thought that pos sib1y certain agencies which may have had reasons to desire Soko1ow- sky's end might have so played upon Mrs. Sokolowsky's jealousy as to make her a willing administrator of the deadly acid. The authorities are proceeding along the simple lines now that the act was that of a wom- an, of extremely jealous disposition, made desperately so upon the discov- cry of letter written to her husband by a rival.

Offered His Wife To
 Rival, Now Sues Him

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 5-Papers in a strange alienation suit have been filed here in which it is set forth that Charles B. Chisholm of ST Beau mont place, Newark, told William c. Parker of Morristown, that if he wanted Mrs. Chisholm as his wife he could have her, but that if he didn't want to marry her he must cease seeing and communicating with her. Failure to comply with the ultima tum resulted in the filing of the suit, in which $100,O0O is demanded.
 According to the papers, for two years Chisholm battled with his rival, also a married man, for the love of Mrs. Chisholm. Parker's wife knew of the affair between her husband and Mrs. Chisholm, and discussed the situation with Chisholm. In fact, conferences were numerous, as were promises of reformation, says the af- fdavits.
 The papers set forth that after tn last conference between Chisholm, his wife and Parker, the latter two decided to elope. They set on July 8, but after talking the matter over decided to call the elopemerts off, and return to their respective homes
 Chisholm says in his complaint that

 Chisholm ayers that the t*infatua- ton" of the couple had it's inception in the summer of 1918, when the Chish olms and the Parkers occupied summer cottages at Culver's Lake, N. J. Chisholm became convinced that his wife loved Parker, so, in a mat ter-of-fact way he called his wife and Parker into a conference, his affida- wit says. He told them the affair must end, and both agreed. Parker left imm ediately for the city, and after two days Chisholm, sure that the rival for his wife's affections would not return, left also. He returned only on week-ends.
 Chish holm sets forth that he learn ed from his wife's maid that Parker returned early in the summer and saw his wife frequently.

'TERCENTENARY OFF
 PILGRIM LANDING.
-, ' =. ,. -1l. z, 2 !.

Washington, Aug. 4-Pres1dent Will son in a proclamation today suggest cd and requested" that December 21 be celebrated throughout the United States the "tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1920 and appointed Samuel w. Mccall and Richard Hooker of Mass achusetts and George Foster Peabody of New York, as members of the Pill grim tercentenary commission.
 In the proclamation, the Preside ent recommended that the day be fitting y observed f'to the end that salutary and patriotic lessons may be drawn from the fortitude, perseverance and the ideals of the Pilgrims
 The Presidents proclamation fol- lows:
 My fellow countrymen:. December 21, next, will mark the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1920. The day will be becomingy celebrated at Plymouth under the auspices of the Plymouth tercentepary commi ission and at oth- CT localities in Massachusetts. While this is proper and praiseworthy, 1t seems to me that the influences which the ideals and principles of the Pilgrims with respect to civil lib- erty and human rights have had upon the formation and growth of our in stitutions and upon our development and progress as a nation merits more than a local expression of our obliga- tion and makes fitting nationwide ob- servance of the day.
 T, therefore, suggest and request that the 2ist of December, next, be observed throughout the Union with special patriotic services in order that the great events in Americani history that have resulted from the landing of these hearty and courageous navi- gators and colonists, may be accen- tuated to the present generation of American citizens. Especially do recommend that the day. be fittingly observed in the universities, colleges and schools of our country to the end that salutary and patriotic lessons may be drawn from the fortitude and perseverance and the ideals of this little band of churchmen and women who established on this continent the first self determined government bas- ed on the great principle of just law and it's equal application to all, and thus planted the seeds from which has sprung the mighty nation.
