BETTER HANCALONE[
Thousands Have Discovered DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets Are q
Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
on the liver is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-colored tablets are
the result of DIR. Edwards deter
mination 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 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 strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take
calomel. Let DIR. Edwards Olive
Tablets take it's place.
Headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take DR..

When Frank J. Kelly, Government
prosecutor, asked her whether she
had purchased any of the, liquor

Hecht's counsel interviewed and OBJ

was sustained by Judge Mcmahon.
Mrs. Hecht declared that she had
purchased the liquors in three-case
quantities from To-Kolon, a former
liquor dealer, in 1918, who in pre-
prohibition days was located at

January 6, last, when the apart

Black AIkaIi,

Investigations have been made of the
almost complete loss of fertility of
from 10000 to 10000 acres In the San
Luis valley Of Colorado, and this con
dition Is attributed to the so-caIled
"black alkali,' composed largely of
sodium carbonate. This carbonate is
carried in the waters of the valley, in
Guiding the rivers and the artesian
wells, and the practice of subirrigation
has brought 1t to the surface by
capillarity and evaporation. IT is sug-
gested that the remedy lies in a con-
version of the carbonates into sui

of gypsum-about nine pounds of gyp-
sum to one pound Of black alkall-

SUMMER BEVERAGES

THERE is no reason why iced drinks
L of summer should not be served
with straws or why these straws
should not be used, but there is every
reason why you should not abuse
them.
Undoubtedly lemonade or any other
cool drink served with chopped ice is
difficult to drink and 1t is really better
to use the straws. Two straws are
usually served, preferably placed be-
side the glass on the service plate or
coaster. However, they should not
both be used. The second one is to
be used only in case the first one be-
comes disabled. And of course care
should be taken that there Is not the
slightest sound of sucking during this
operation. You should raise the glass
up high enough to make 1t unneces-
sary to stoop over untluly in imbibing
the beverage and sou should, Of course.
avoid any desperate effort to suck up
the very last drop Of fluid from the
bottom of the glass.
Remember that when strawberries
or slices of fruit are served in a bev-
erage they are there for garnish only.

Poor Mr.. Peacock! His pride was
quite crushed. Tommy Blue Jay had
made fun of his feet and voice and
now Madam Duck had told him his
beauty meant very little unless he
could do something worth while.
He had been told his real worth, and
now he decided he had better be on
friendly terms with the barnyard fowl,
so he began to walk around the yard
with them, picking up corn as If he
had never felt himself above them.

Smoking in the Dark.

Why don't l like smoking in the
dark? 1t is just Imagination. The or
dinary man Is unconsciously accus-
toned to watch the smoke from the
pipe or cigarette, and to gauge his
puffs with mis- eyes. He may not know
that he watches it, but he does, and.
deprived of the opportunity, his sub
conscious self soon tells him that he
can't see the smoke. Accustomed as
he is to enjoy the sight, taste and
smell of the smoke, when one sense
fails him he can no longer believe that
he is smoking at all. He could, of
course. easily train his will to depend
upon taste and smell alone, but most Of
us are never forced to such need, and
so continue. without knowing it, to
watch our smoke with our eyes.-Ey

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MAVE ERICk"

Used on the Western plains
~ as n term for unbranded or
ownerless cattle, the term NAV
erick" owes its birth to msn
named Sam Maverick, natlIe
Of Massachusetts who settled So
Texas in the middle of the last
century and entered the busi-
ness Of stock-raislng.
Because he believed in the
honesty of his neighbors and
also because, on humanitarian
grounds, he did not approve of
branding his cattle with a red
hot iron, the calves born on the
Maverick ranch were allowed
to run wild and unbranded. AS
n result, the less honest cattle
men would add these animals
to their own herds, placing their
distinguishing mark upon the
flank In the approved manner.
In time the expression became
current Unbranded? 1t must
belong to Maverick" and the
term spread throughout the cat
tie country, gradually extending
its meaning until it was used to
signify anyone who refused to
recognize II master, man who
was broad in his views and owed
allegiance to no one.
Impoverished by the lack Of
care Of his cattle, Maverick died
number of years ago-but his
name usually appears at least
once In every Western story
which has any claims to atmos-
phere.

Antonio Andrade
OF Portland Asks
Pardon From Prison

Pardon petition has been filed at
the office Of the secretary of State in
the case of Antonio Andrade of Port
land, who convicted of the crime of
manslaughter is now serving a SEN
tence of not less than two years and
six months nor over three years in
States prison. In the petition, it is
set forth that at the May term of the
Cumberland county superior court in
1921, Andrade was convicted of man
slaughter under his own plea and
that in execution of the sentence he
was committed to States prison June
II, 1921.
Petitioner alleges that notwith-
standing his record plea of guilty of
manslaughter, that the plea was made
under great excitement and stress of
mind and not knowing what to do
under the circumstances; that in
fact he is guilty of any assault upon
James Walker. that he did not go
aboard the ship, Mary Baker. when
The assault was committed which re-
suited in the death of Walker, and
that he did not suggest any course
that would lead to any violation of
the law: that he was at his home at
the time the assault was committed
and did not learn of it until hours
afterwards; that since 1918 he has
been local agent for the Marine Fire
| mems Union (nOt the S ,amen's
Union) and that in the capacity of
agent he had always counselled to
law and order.
1t will be remembered that hearing
upon previous petition of Andrade's
was held by the Governor and Coun-
Gil last June and at the Executive
session the following month the petit
toner was given leave to withdraw.
Thomas Leigh of Augusta is counsel
| for the petitioner.
