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

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect on
the liver is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-colored tablets are
the result of DIR. Edwards determina-
ton not to treat liver and bowel COM
plants with calomeI.
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? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel Let DIR. 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 you feel "logy''
and heavy" They clear clouded
brain and "perk up the spirits, 15c

BIC PAVING WORK
Concrete Base Laid on Seventy
Blocks in Topeka.
Street Commissioner Well
Pleased With Work This Year.

The concrete base work on the pave
ment of some seventy blocks of streets
and alleys in Topeka has been COM
pleted. and within the next two weeks
the asphalt top coat will be in place.
I'VE have had wonderful success in
this work. We have made far better
progress and greater speed than we
thought possible along in the sum-
mer," w. S. Hancock. city commits
sioner of public works, stated today.
1T has been a wonderfully successful
season for paving"
The paving. with the exception of
four and a half blocks of brick paw
ing. was done by Ramsey & Richie, a
Topeka firm The brick paving was
done by the Kaw Paving company, also
of Topeka. The work Of the summer
included the construction of a large
amount of storm sewer.
Hancock is particularly pleased with
the storm sewer work. which is COM
pleted.
South Topeka used to be flooded
every time it rained, by water from
the ground north and west of the fair
grounds. We paved along the south
side of the fair grounds and laid
thirty-six-inch sewer there which has
almost solved the flood situation for
them. We also put in a much needed
sewer in North Topeka" Hancock
said today. Other sewers were put
in in Quinton Heights and along
Laurel avenue in POtwin.
The sewers were built under a new
provision of the law which permits
their construction from the city funds
without the creation of a benefit dis
trict and without extra cost to the
owners of abutting property
Two Miles of Strip Work
"In addition to the new paving we
have done nearly two miles of strip
work-paving in strips along the SIDE
of the street" Hancock reported.
This work has been done from the
funds of the street department, and
has not cost the owner of the abutting
property anything.
1--WE have put in three blocks of
strip work on West Sixth avenue; two
blocks on west Tenth avenue two
blocks on south Kansas avenue, be-
tween Tenth avenue and Twelfth
erect; one block on Clay street and
eighteen feet on Jackson street, be-
tween Sixth avenue and Seventh
street"
In discussing the street omprove-
ments which have been made during
the year. Hancock congratulated the
people of North Topeka most highly.
They have done more public i'm
provement work in the past three
wears. than in the previous fifteen
years" Hancock said. The improve
ment is noticeable in the streets, the
sidewalks, the paving of alleys, the
construction of sewers and in the i'm
provements of business buildings. the
care of the sidewalks and the parking.
The old time animosity and sus-
picion which seemed to exist between
North and South Topeka, has vanished
entirely, and the two sides of the river
are working together"
Hancock credits much of the pro-
gress which North Topeka has made,
to the activities of the North Topeka
Civic club.

PERFECT PACKAGE MONTH"
Local Effort to Assist Shippers and
Carriers in Topeka.

The only concerted campaign in
which every railroad and express
company in the United States have
joined, for several years past, opens
Tuesday.
It is the Perfect Package Month .
Every carrier in the country is joining
in the effort to educate the shipping
public to the necessity of proper
packing and marking of goods for
shipment
Every shipper will receive a circu-
lar letter telling Of the advantage of
proper preparations of goods for
shipment
In addition, every package which is
received during November VIII be
closely inspected, and the shippers of
those which are not properly packed
and marked will receive Il report from
the carriers, describing the package
telling what was wrong about it, and
asking for cooperation in the prepa-
ration of future shipments.
These reports will be sent in dupli-
cate, to the Topeka Traffic association
as a clearing house. The Traffic as
sociation will issue a weekly report on
the number of packages which have
been Improperly prepared, and at the
end of the month will make a final
tabulatiOn and report
This isn't a selfish thing for the
carriers, by any means E. H. Hogue-
land, commerce counsel for the Topeka
Traffic association, said today. "Of
course it's a good thing for the car
but its much better for the shippers.
riers, but it's much better for the
shippers.
The loss and damage claims against
the carriers are greatly augmented by
improper packing and marking. But
the shipper who RECEIVERS the market
value of a shipment lost thru improper
packing or marking, doesn't come out
even. The carriers only stand to lose
that market value, but the shipper is
the loser by the interest on the money
which he has invested, the inconven-
ience, and som etimes in the case of
wholesaler, a dissatisfied customer,
who will not order again from the
same house
1t is a much bigger thing for the
shippers than for the carriers. Per
feet preparation of goods for ship
ment would save both parties vast
sums every year"
The campaign is nation wide, and
is in charge, in this district, of c. w.
Moncrieff, agent for the Western
Weighing and Inspection Bureau, at
Kansas City, Mo.

CUBAN REDS ANTI-AMERICAN
Bomb Explosion at Havana Believed
Aimed at General Crowder.

Havana, Oct. 81. - Considerable
property damage was caused by the
explosion of bomb in the home of
Fernando Gonzales Verdenes, an archi-
tect, in a fashionable residence sec
ton, early today.
The police appeared to believe the
explosion might be connected with
threats by radicals against Maj. Gen.
Enoch H Crowder and the United
states legation here. These threats
were contained in proclamation dis
tributed thruout Havana Saturday
night in connection with the case of
NicOlo Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti, who have been convicted of muir
der in a Massa chusetts court.
Senior Verdenes told the police he
could not imagine why anyone should
attempt to destroy his home. which is
distant from the American legation.
