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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets IA vegetable compound
mixed with olive oiD in his private
practice with great success
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping. no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and "heavy."
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits.

Prisoner Wins
Appeal Against
Labor Sentence
Court Rules Only Per.
sons Indicted May Be
Forced to Work.

District prisoners, who have not
been indicted by the grand jury,
may not be sentenced to do hard
labor" either in jail or In the work
house at Occoquan, because the
Constitution of the United States
designates hard labor as Infamous
punishment"
This was the decision handed
down yesterday by the Court Of APP
peals in the case OF Charles w.
Moreland, who was sentenced to six
months in the workhouse by Judge
Kathryn Sellers, of the Juvenile
Court, for alleged nonsupport of his
family.
Moreland, through Attorney Fos-
ter Wood, appealed the sentence.
with the result that the Court of
Appeals, in view of the fact that
he had not been indicted by the
grand jury, returned a decision in
his favor.
The decision Of the Appellate
Court, according to prominent at
torneys, renders the police courts
or tl0 juvenile courts powerless to
commit a prisoner. to the work
house, unless the commitment
papers specifically state that he
must not be compelled to work"
4 prisoner must be indicted before
he is subject to work, the decision
declares.
However, the mandate will not
become effective until 1t is prop
erly sent to Judge Sellers, which
will necessitate approximately fifteen
days, hence, until that time both the
Juvenile and Police courts will be
permitted to continue the issuance
OF sentences as usual
The question now causing con-
siderable discussion among the
legal fraternity, which yet remains
Is Can those persons
already serving terms at the work
house, having been sent there by the
Juvenile or Police courts, resort TO
a writ Of habeas corpus and obtain
freedom from work.

TWO SLAYERS LOSE
new TRIAL APPEAL
Men Convicted Of Murders to
Die Soon Unless Re-
prieved.

John McHenry. 22-year-old slayer
Of Detective James z. Armstrong,
and Charles Price, colored, slayer
Of Robert Smith, also colored, who
were convicted of first degree mur-
der and sentenced to be hanged,
lost their fight for a new trial yes
terday in the Court Of Appeals.
McHenry Will be hanged Novem-
ber Is unless he-secures reprIeVe
from President Harding.
Price Is scheduled to hang De-
cember 9.
McHenry shot and killed Detec-
tive Armstrong at the Union Sta
ton December 81. 1919, after the
detective had tried to Arrest him for
the murder of Wallace W. Mulcare,
an automobile supply dealer, whom
he had held up and shot the same
afternoon.
Price shot Smith May 80, 1919,
during an argument over 81 which
Smith paid him for some bootleg"
whisky without receiving change.

Orsdell declare that the commission
refused and neglected to take into
consideration the fact that the
war, which caused abnormal costs
in everything. affected the valua-
ton Of the property Of the power
company between the dates OF
JNly 1, 1914. and December 81. 1915,
and made the cost of a reproduc-
ton of the property a highly COM
plicated affair from q mathematical
standpoint. Justice Gould's decision
was reversed because OF that fact.
THE public may expect no RELIEF
from exploitation by the District
utilities until Congress either takes
over the several corporations or re-
peals the act which created the Pub
lie Utilities Commission" Repre-
sentative Keller. Of the House Dis
trict Committee. declared yesterday.
following the decision OF the Court
Of Appeals, reversing the opinion Of
the late Justice Gould in the Poto-
mac Electric Power case.
Other members of the committee
ventured the opinion that the efrecI
of the decision handed down by the
Court of Appeals in favor OF tHe
Potomac Electric Power Company
would spur Congress to pass a more
drastic measure than IT would have
considered otherwise.
TT would take perhaps two years
for the Public Utilities Commission
to make another survey OF the prop
critics Of the companies, after which
the companies would undoubtedly
resort to the same tactics to delay
operation Of the ruling" Keller
