DR.. 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 re-
suit of DIR. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel.
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 Gallo
mel. 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. It Is
best not to take calomel. Let DR.. Ed

Desperate Walton

senate court of impeachment which
Monday removed him as governor.
Judge John Cotteral, in Federal
! Court here. reaffirming a ruling
handed down at Lawton, Oklahoma.
the day before the Impeachment trial
! opened. held that his court had no
jurisdiction in the case and sustained
a motion by George F. Short. state
attorney general, to dismiss the de-
posed executives suit.
Walton entered an exception to
! the decision, and announced that he
| would appeal to the United States
supreme court.
The former governor sought a
retroactive restraining order to null
ment court. He alleged his i'm
parchment resulted from a conspir-
acy between the Ku Klux Khan and
members of the legislature.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Walton went to the Oklahoma county
courthouse and announced that he
expected to be indicted by the dis
trict court grand jury which now is
in session. He said he did not know
what the. charges would be but de-
sired the court to submit to his ar
rest at once. The grand jury did not
report today, however.
j. X. Wright, county attorney,
later announced the report probably
would be made tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the house filed i'm
peahcment charges against Charles

Cook Conviction
Will Aid in Stamping
Out Mail Frauds

Washington, Nov. 21.-The govern
ment Is in a position. as a result Of
the conviction of DR.. Frederick A. Cook
and others in Fort Worth today. to
stamp out the threatened epidemic of
mail fraud and wildcat stock promo
ton schemes, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Grim declared tonight upon his
return from conference with United
States attorneys at Forth Worth.
Mr.. Grim asserted that active pros
ccutiom Of the mail fraud cases at
Fort Worth, now numbering more than
400, will be policy of the government.
He predicted numerous pleas of guilty
in those cases, adding that the de-
partment of justice and the post Office
department acting Jointly had develop
ed machine for the prosecution Of the
cases that contemplates the release Of
none.
"It will be recalled" Mr.. Grim said.
"that there was an epidemic of rail-
road rebating during the Roosevelt adj
ministration. The government got be-
hind the prosecution Of them and nm
ished that evil. The same evils threat
ened in the use Of the mails in fraud
ulent promotion schemes and hope to
see the same treatment accorded them
that was given the rebatirg railroads.
Mr.. Grim said, however. that any
disturbance Of the machinery set for
prosecuting the cases might result in
making it ineffective. But if it remains
intact and is allowed to go forward
he added, the whole docket should be
cleaned up and the promotion of fake
schemes through the mails definitely
curbed.
The post Office department has had
few new cases with which to deal in
the last year, according to Mr.. Grim.
When the government opened its at
tack in the fraud cases at Fort Worth,
he said, Immediately the federal attor-
neys there began receiving vast quanti-
ties of information concerning ques-
tionable deals. Several hundred thou
sand voluntary federal agents sprang
into being. he added, and in most cases
the government has profited by the in
formation thus obtained.
