BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
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 "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oily 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. l5c and 30c box.

cal congress for the reconstruction OF
the old Superior Court, which will deal
with all Jewish religious questions, is
regarded throughout Palestine as the

OF the new high court composed Of eight
members. four chosen from among the
Sephardin and four from among the
Ashkenazirn. There will be two presi-

PRAISES ARMY
Fred Green of Ionia Has High Re
gard for the Army.

The following communication sub
mitted to, The Record by Sgt. {. r.
Marsh Of the local recruiting office,
speaks Of the high regard that Fred
A. Green of Ionia has for the army:
Permit me as an employer of la
Dor 20 write you regarding the ef-
feet upon the men of your military
and vocational training.
This company has found that the
men who have seen service in the
Army, especially those who have
come in contact with the regular
army discipline, are better workmen
by the reason of this experience. To
my mind one Of the great DEFICIENCIES
in the training of American children
is the absence Of discipline. So many
are not disciplined either at home or
at schools, with the result it is very
hard to learn the necessity Of obed-
fence to authority in their tasks.
Eve have found that the men who
have gone into the army and learned
its lessons, who can take an order
and execute it, almost invariably
learn to give an order promptly. We
are able to select competent foremen
and instructors from these men with
little difficulty II is brought home
to us very strongly at times like this,
when business is stagnant that the
only man that is really sure of en-
ployment is the man who has had
vocational training. While you may
be able to do away with all the COM
mon labor connected with your fac
tory you will not release the skilled
man in any particular line. Wher
times are good it is easy to replace
the common laborer, but it is not
easy to replace the other fellow: the
result is that factories spend i'm
mense sums of money In wages il
order to hold together these bes
men in every department even whel
there is no demand for their pro
duct.

$24, 900 in Gold Missing
On Ship From Venezuela

Customs officials, assisted by five
five plain clothes men from the de-
tective bureau In Brooklyn, made a
search of the Red D Line steamship
Caracas, which arrived yesterday from
Venezuela and West Indian ports, in
the hope of finding $4,000 in gold
that had been sent nere>for deposit,
The coin, which was done up in
twenty-four sacks, each containing
$1,000, was assembled by merchants Of
Caracas and La Guayra for deposit in
banks of this city.
The export of gold is forbidden by
the Venezula government and one Of
the officers of the Caracas is said to
have been the messenger of the mer-
chants. When the vessel left La
Guayra the officer put the gold under
the mattress of his bed, believing that
no one else knew of it's presence
aboard ship. Before the Caracas ar
rived at her port of call, Puerto Ca
bello, which also is in Venezuela, the
money was gone. No one left the ship
and word was sent here for custom 5
officials and the police to search the
vessel.
The baggage OF all the passengers
was examined, and the quarters and
luggage of the crew were ransacked
The gold was not discovered.

CONFIRMATION of this policy was OBJ

1t is evident that the Administration
IS backing up the chairman in his reso-

acts, whether good or bad.
incidentally it is made plain that the
new head of the board will refuse to

cause they think. the British public is
a siiiier ass than he really is. The
classical phrase of Abraham Lincoln is
applicable to them: You can fool
some of the people all the time and NIL
the people some of the time, but you
cant fool all the people all the time
and when they have discovered this
truth, by sitting in ever unsatisfied ex
pectancy behind a brass plate for a
year or so, they &c away.
For example, newly qualified

the young couple shall live in Harley

So the poor dears go to Harley Street
and find it veritable hell of boredom
and disillusion, because he can find
