Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards Olive Tablets IRE
Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative and their effect
on the liver is almost instantane-
Gus Those little olive coiored
tablets are the result of DR.. Ed
wards determination not TO treat
liver and bowel complaints with
calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does. but have no
bed after effects. They don't in
fure 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

Chicago, Nov. work for dis
abied World war veterans in which
1000 900 was expended last year
by the American Red Cross has
cost chapters here in Illinois more
than $4,000. Service 10 men in
the standing army and navy as well
as ex-service men and their fam
flies is an obligation which the
American Red Cross is pledged TO
continue and for which support is
asked in the annual roll call Wnfch

The annual cost Of discharg1ng
this obligation to ex-service men
and their families is $4,O0O,OOo IN
excess OF the aggregate receipts Oh
last years membership enrolment.
The greater part OF this hnancial
responsibility is met by the local
chapter which spent approximately
$1,000. 900 in this work during the
last fiscal year. Throughout the
country there are 1929 Red Cross
chapters still helping to solve the
veterans problem OF adjusting him
self to a normal civil basis.
That this problem of the disabled
service man is ever expanding and
will not reach its peak before 1925
IS the assertion OF well informed
government officials. Consequent
~ chapter budgets for the coming
year must take into account the
maintenance and increasing OF this

Flour Makers Proud Record.

Ranking as the champion flour max
err of the world, John Kraft, who re-
tired March /, after continuous serv-
ice for 46 years. holds the unique rec
ord OF making flour enough to feed the
United States and its possessions for
a period OF one year.
Because of impaired vision, the Ar
gonaut states. Mr.. Kraft, who is sixty
nine years old, terminated his connec-
ton with a Minneapolis -four company
after establishing a record which mill
ing engineers believe will stand for
many years. Engineers at the plant
estimate that during his 46 years of
active service Mr.. Kraft made 1885,
100000 barrels Of flour. According to
the veteran miller. an average normal
person consumes about one barrel of
-four year. or its equivalent. Mr..
Kraft's output, therefore, could feed
the population OF the entire United
States and its possessions. which is
approximately 115OO0.OO0. and at the
end of the year have large surplus.

House of Historic Interest.

One of the features of the tercen-
tenary celebration Of the landing of
the Pilgrims, to be held ut Plymouth,
will be the opening to the public of
the William Harlowe house, built in
1917 This is one of the few build
ings now remaining which stood with
in the lifetime of any of those who
came on the Mayflower. and it has a
particular interest owing to the fact
that it was framed with oak timbers
from the old fort. which, as Winslow
relates, twas built in 1922 on the top
of the hill under which the town was
located"
After King Philips war, when dan
ger from Indian depredations had
passed, the fort was dismantled and
the timbers sold TO Sergt. William Har-
lowe, a man of prominence in the col
ony, who used them in the construc-
ton of his house ON the ancient high
way where it still stands.

uNFoLDs A TERRIBLE TALE
Captain Returning From Voyage to the
Torrid Zone Has Story Of Won
derfuI Experience.

A terrible tale Of the t0rr.d zone
was unfolded by Capt. r. IL. Terrible
the other day on the arrival OF the
steamer Denis, which plies between
New York and Manaols, port about
1000 miles up the Amazon river. The
skipper vowed by marine and other
saints that never had he seen sights
SO strange, according 10 the New York
Times.
On a river which empties into the
Amazon, near Manaois, ne said he saw
myrIads Of electric cells SO strongly
charged with electricity that the broad
bosom OF the stream was flooded with
light and the crew were able TO read
their pocket Bibles by the glow. which
was estimated at 40 watts per eel.
When seanen brought some OF these
Acknowledged cells on deck, Captain
Terrible said, the ships dynamos We're
short clrcuited and there was the dick
ems TO pay until the cells We're dlscon-
nected.
But skipper Terrible hadn't finished.
While the Denis was tied up at the
pier, a hoy who was working with a
loading gang fell into the river. The
luminous cells surged around him, and
when he was picked up he was dead.
A physician who examined the body
said that the lad was the victim or
an electric Overcharge. Captain Tor
rlble brought back with him sun
lodging monkey, which prowled only
at night. He declared that the simian,
like an owl. was casual and apathetic
By day, but when the sun went over
the horizon the monkey had 900
glims and was an ultra-lively stopper.
The captain took newspaper men into
his cabin, where the pet was kept,
and pulled down the shades. The sun
dodger reacted 10 the gloom by APP
propriating and Immediately eating a
straw kelly recently purchased at con-
siderable outlay by one of the report
ers.
The skipper said that he had pur-
chased Brazilian sloth TO bring back
to the United States, but the animal
was too lazy to eat and died on the
way here.

RULED LONG IN WILDERNESS
Colin Rankin, Recently Deceased, Was
Fifty Years With the Hudscn's
Bay Company.

Colin Rankin, who died in Montreal
recently at the age of ninety-four, was
the first native Canadian to enter the
service OF the Hudson's Bay company.
After half-century in the company's
employ. this patriarch of the fur. trade
retired as chief factor, in $685..
He was taken into the Hudson's Bay
company's service in 1S4S by Sir
George Simpson, known as the "em-
peror governor" Sir George was one
of the ablest of the long line of COVER
nors that began in 1910 with Prince
Rupert, famous champion of the house
Of Stuart in Cromwellian wars. Under
him, the company was merged with
the North West company, which for
years had been its deadly rival in the
fur trade. Under him, too, the COM
pany reached its meridian of power
and dominion and ruled three-fourths
OF the North American continent,
Mr.. Rankin's service was almost ex-
clusively in eastern Canada. He was
in charge of posts at Mattawa, La
chine, st. Maurice, Kickendatch. Ber-
>simis, Saguenay. Simcoe and Tennis
kaming. He was chief factor over the
Lake Superior district and the Ottawa
river district. He was known for his
vigor of mind and body, and his
career, which missed but six years of
rounding out century, was an epic
of the wilderness adventure.

REAL HUM0RIST OF AMERICA

The funniest things which are writ
ten and printed In. this coantry are
not written by Irain cobb or George
AIDE or Ring Lafdner.l They are not
written by the professional humorist
Of the great newspapers.
They are written by the so-called
country editors and notably by So
called country editors of Ohio and
Kansas. We hardly think anyone
with a real sense Of humor who reads
large numbers OF newspapers and
magazines and modern books viii dis
pute this assertion.
Humor is merely the ability to see
and react Understandings TO the
n1irth-proyoking side of human nature,
(which Is not the least ample of its
sides. A humorous paragraph may be
grossly exaggerated in its interpreted
ton of human nature, but human ma
ture must be somewhere down near
the bottom of it or it is failure.
This explains why humor is so much
more amusing, so much more satisfy
ing than wit. Wit needs no human
nature as its foundation, ii may be
simply a lightning-like play ON. mere
words, sufficient To cause a smile, a
laugh perhaps. but none of the solid
comfort derived by the discerning from

THE HARDY SONS OF ADVENTURE

At time when SO much OF the
world seems at cross-purposes, it
is soothing TO hear one explorer
after another pop into the news
with his detached plans 10 probe
yet more nearly this narrowing
world of ours.
Amundsen recently has been
rescued and brought back to civ
ilization Macmillan has his
plans; Shackleton is all set for
the Enderby Quadrant-these a
few of the more conspicuous.
To the stay-at-home, with all
lands brought to his feet through
the illustrated magazines and the
activity of newspapers, there
does not seem to be much left TO
look for in those two vague areas
known as the polar regions. Not
so with the Amundsens, Mac Mil
lans and Shackletons. They them
selves pursue their course be-
cause they are driven by their
imagination; they are permitted
TO do SO and supported in the en-
terprises because OF the material
benefits which result from their
observation; particularly of me-
neurological phenomena.
The explorers dream Of lost is
lands, if continents are no longer
to be discovered. There may be
volcanoes unknown, mountains
unperceived, gulfs not yet enter
ed somewhere hidden behind the
icy barriers. themselves yet UNI
measured. An island is always a
romance, compact and personal i;
with its suggestive relationship
to the nearest mainland and its
indisputable independence of it.
These are the things the ex-
plorer dreams about; and for
these they venture in tiny craft
into incredible hazards and priva-
tions. They are strange. hardy
breed. and the world has always
one last mystery for them to
penetrate. one last heroic under
taking to be essayed. that the rest
of the world may have a little bit
more knowledge and perhaps a
considerable degree of added
comfort and prosperity.

ALsAcE BEGINNING TO LIVE

It is a strange. yet stimulating eN-

Today Bismarck's work is undone;

In the familiar square blue German

with neat new French sign affixed

officials have been but little changed.
The village station master and the
postman have but dotted their German
insignia to don its more easy-httinS
French equivalent. But if the men are
the same, the faces, as well as the
uniforms, are different. There is
feeling of relief, of detente, in the

GOT ALONG WITHOUT BosslNG
Joseph Pulitzer Selected His Right
Hand Men With Care. and Then
Let Them Alone.

There Is an old proverh TO the eff
feet that a good boss makes a good
workman. There must be something
In it. The most successful employ
ers are those who have the most worth
while employees. Part of the sue
cess. no doubt, is in picking the en-
ployee. Another part. perhaps. Is in
letting him alone. If he is worth keep
ing he is worth trusting.
Joseph Pulitzer never dictated TO
me-" said Samuel G. Blythe, accord
ing 10 an exchange. "He never told
me what to write or what not TO.
Only once in my life did he even make
request of me-"
Blythe was for years the star man
In the great blind editors Washing
ton bureau. Now and then, as Blythe
explained, Mr. Pulitzer went To some
trouble TO prove In the editorial col
umn that Blythe was suffering from
prolapsus of the intellect. Sometimes
he massed facts to show that his opin-
ion differed monumentally from that
of his Washington luminary. But he
never dictated. said Blythe. Or al
most never. But once he did ask
a favor.
II had been sharpshooting at the
manner In which great firm Of archi-
tects was abusing the exterior of the
White House." said Blythe. when one
day got wiPe from the old man. 1t
ran something like this:
"'Unless you have a deep personal
feeling In the matter wish you would
cease further reference TO the rebuild
ing of the White House. Please un-
derstand this is not a criticism of what
you have written. But the same firm
of architects Is building, house for
me, and If you don't lay off I'll not
get into ii for two years
Blythe's conclusion was that an en-
ployer of that sort is fairly sure TO
have employees who will rob graves,
Sit up all night, or tear thesaurus to
tatters for him.
