Berlin, March 30.-Advices from CEN
troll Germany state the communist re-
volt, which appeared threatening last
week, is rapidly dissolving into minor
outbreaks. Declaration is made that
the backbone" of the projected revo-
luton there has been definitely broken.
Sporadic strikes are reported from
Halle and Jena, where electric power
plants are shut down and an attempt
to tie up the Ruhr district has been
made, but the latter attempt has thus
far failed except at Remschied, where
half of the workers employed in various
plants have failed to report for duty.
Communists are still interfering to
some extent with railroad traffic at
various junction points in western Ger

Labor leaders Identified with the ma.
jority declare attempts by the COM

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 "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.

representatives. This regretable fact re-
suits in an incomplete report on the
various transactions mentioned in the
findings from which the honorable
house is asked to pass judgment"
The First Charge
Answering the first charge in the re-
port that building contracts had been
let TO favored companies, the board
says:
Records in our office show that
without a single exception awards have
been made To the lowest bidders: fur
ther that notices to contractors were
published in scme newspaper having
general circulation throughout the
state
In answer TO charges that the board
bought coffee for state institutions at
prices higher than lowest bids the board
presents letters from Fred Switzer,
warden of the state pententiary at Nc.
Aester and d. w Griffin, superinten.
dent Of the hospital for insane at Nor
man, praisng the quality of the cof-
fee bought The board then says that
the coffee offered al cheaper rates was
unfit for use Of the states wards
Labor Trouble Blamed
Referring to the charge that the
board lost $4,000 by cancelling coal
orders which were la;er relet, the state
ment says the board did not cancel
any coal orders until every state insti-
tuition had been supplied. and that coal
was bought on the open market only
after labor trouble and car shortages
prevented coal companies from fulfill
ing their contract upon the arrival Of
cold weather.
The board decarles it called repeat
edly on the coal companies 10 deliver
the coal contracted for. but that when
cold weather came and the dependents
OF the state were threatened with dis
comfort through lack of coal. it did the
only thing left and bought coal at
whatever prices it ccum be had for.
No Apologies
The board adds that ii has no apology
for this action inasmuch as it was the
method employed by all other large
emergency.
Concluding the reply to the charge
dealing with the coal purchases the
statement says
This board reasserts, as it did be-
fore your committee. that during the
past year more coal was purchased and
delivered to state Institutions for less
money than during any like period since
statehood. This positive statement is
based on records available
Denying the accusation that the
board had Uaid excessive prices for
typewriters. the report Includes a sworn
statement from l.. A. Cleveland, man

The British were per- fectly willing to make some sort of an arrangement about the external debt-or at least to loan more money If given the concess-on for this oil King did not like the idea very well The state department may or may not have liked it. but it assuredly did not like it well enough 10 grant the loan asked for on the original pa pers.

DRIrAIN's DRINK BILL GROWS

MT. Bryan's characteristics of Great Britain as an "unfriendly wet" gives point to recent figures showing what the British people are spending to keep wet. The Economist (Lon- don) has received from the United Kingdom Alliance statistical esti- mates of the national consumption of and the expenditure upon alcoholic liquors" which 1t presents in brief as follows:
 It Is estimated that the expenditure ori alcoholic beverages in 1920 showed aji advance of 21 per cent over 1913, aiad of 183 per cent over 1913. The 1920 consumption, measured in terms of absolute alcohol" is said to have been 15 per cent higher than in 1919. | but 24 per cent lower than in 1913. Thus alcohol consumers in 1920 paid 1S3 per cent more for 24 per cent less 1 alcohol than in 1s13. The actual ex- l r,enditure of the people of the United 1 Kingdom on alcoholic drinks in 1920 1 is estimated at 2.350 million dollars of which 42 per cent went to the ex- chequer in taxation, the comparable
 estimates for 1919 being 1900 million dollars and 31h per cent. and fol 1913 s3o million and 23 per cent
