STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of'stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking tonics, or trying to patch up
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-clogged
liver and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach
troubles.
Have you a bad taste, coated
tongue, poor appetite, a lazy, don't
care feeling, no ambition or energy,
trouble with undigested foods? Take
Olive Tablets the substitute for Gallo
mel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil. You will know them
by their olive color. They do the work
without gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for
quick relief. Eat what you like. 15c

THE PEOPLE HAVE NOT
EnREOTrEN

The Federal Government has made
liberal provision for aiding disabled
men of the World War. not all OF
which, unfortunately, was properly
applied to the end for which 1t was
given. But had it been. there was
much Of need it could not have met.
1t could not and cannot have inti-
mate contact with the one to whose
needs it seeks to administer. In
doubtedly the American Legion Is
capable of doing that which the Gov
eminent may not do. although 1t
should be done.
The Legion accepted a trust with
it's charter. 1t has established facil-
tiles for fulfilling its obligations. H.
900 posts and an auxiliary with o4oV
units and a membership Of over 2oo'-
900. So equipped it has aided the
Governments endeavors and supple
mented them with remarkable re-
suits. It has refused to overlook the
unfortunate declared to be lunatlc
because of shell-shock or other IN
Jury. 1t has inspired the help OF ex-
perts and many of those supposed to
have been incurable have been cured
and more have been relieved through
these efforts. Personal. indefatigable
service on the part Of members OF
the Legion have been responsible Tor
these results. These should be con-
tinued.
"a home for every homeless child
of a veteran" is another endeavor to
which the Legion is bending its en-
ergies in child welfare work. 1t needs
money with which to carry on. 1t
is confident a generous people desire
to aid in providing the five million
dollar endowment which the national
organization Of the Legion has set
out to secure. 1t should not be, 1t
will not be disappointed in its con-
fidence. The people have not for
gotten.

/. INTERESTING TO NOTE

It is interesting to note in the mes
sage OF the Governor vetoing the
railroad excise tax bill:
During the present session the
Legislature has set the seal of its
approval upon a bond issue Of over
$1.500,000 to build bridge for rail-
road traffic to an important section
Of our State. If the people shall ap-
prove of the bond issue that is pro-
posed, the State of Maine will risk
its credit by loaning that much mon
ey in substance to the railroad that
is involved. II the railroad during
the next half century should be in
volved in financial distress the State
might we'll be obliged to settle for
the interest and the Bonds that 1t
would owe.
by this action the Legislature as
suredly has shown it's interest in the
welfare Of this road. No other pri-
waite or public enterprise is being
endowed similarly. 1t would seem
that this was sufficient assurance in
the very substantial economics 1T will
effect that the people of Maine are
interested in the welfare Of this road.
without an additional contribution at
this time Of an uncertain amount
running into hundreds Of thousands
of dollars"
It does not appear that the railroad
ever asked for bridge at Bath. 1t
does appear that 1t was placed in a
position of acceding to terms or in
viting criticism for non-cooperation
il It should decline to become a
party. It furthermore appears that
endeavor to secure this on the part
of the proponents has resulted in a
location expensive to the State and
not as favorable to the patrons OF
the highways as might otherwise
have been found.
The Governors message contained
the implication that one railroad Is
not properly managed, comparing IT
with another road which has shown
a profit over a period in which the
former accumulates a deficit. He did
not compare 1t with Henry Ford
road, as doubtless some will do with
out knowing or recognizing all Of the
conditions.
It certainly would seem that rail-
road management is not a sinecure
these days. what with labor unions,
Federal Government regulations and
State paternalism endowing it with
bridges and advice and building
highways for truck competitors to
use without paying adequately for
upkeep. However. the railroad man
agement is not lacking in salaries
and those of us who are not receiv-
ing any emoluments from that source
need not attempt to fight its battles
We do hope. however. that when we
wish to go to some place on train
it will be running on a convenient
schedule.

NOVEL FACTORS IN MOTORING

Appearances occasionally to the
contrary, notwithstanding, brains
and character play an important
part in the safety of the highways.
Mental strain is now recognized as
a factor and SO the will power enters
into the consideration. There Is the
worried mind. the unguarded mind,
the puzzled, the stubborn or the dis
eased mind. all playing their respec-
tive parts in the safety or unsafety
Of the congested thoroughfares. Re-
lief from this inevitably depends in
some degree on its recognition by
the minds in question. and on the
disposition to control the conditions
agreeably to that knowledge.
Psychology is now seen to play no
mean part in the driving Of closed
car. Shielded from the elements out
side the driver experiences sense of
being protected, whereas the pave
ments are just as treacherous when
icy or wet as though he were riding
in an open car. Is his mind as alert
to the difficulties and dangers? Prob
ably not at first. Then 1t is said one
in a closed car drives faster without
approaching that fact. also that he
is likely to overlook the fact that the
other fellow driving a closed car Is
unmindful Of all the hazards. Now
that the use Of the closed car Is In
creasing the need Of consideration OF
these factors is increasing.

(Atlanta Constitution (Dem.)
The Democratic party has been
torn into factions arising out of the
preconvention campaigns of 1924 and
the subsequent events in New York.
Since the election every attempt
to bring about party cohesiveness
has been offset by selfish interests
that seek to tie the South with
Western radicalism, having as its
final purpose these same designs on
the 1928 nomination.
Designs att this time upon the
control of the party machinery for
1928, and nanipulations in the inter
est of any candidate. can only mean
that what is left of the party will be
Loaded straight for the scrap heap.

LACK OF CLEAR THINKING

The trouble arising from lack OF
clear thinking is immeasurable.
Moreover it is constant menace
and tiourishes among those, who are
under obligation to think clearly
having had education and training
that should enable them to do so.
President Stills of Bowdoin College
speaking before a local club, Sat
urday, expressed the opinion that
the greatest danger to the peace of
the world is "a muddle- headed. per-
verted pacifism. Peace at any price
men and women are still abroad In
the land. Attempts are being made
to induce the young people in our
schools and colleges to sign pledges
never to take part in any war for
any reason. Several Of our high
minded clergy are behind this move
ment."
"Now, all that comes from lack of
clear thinking. At any moment there
may arise a perfectly clear-cut is
sue between living as free people or
being under the domination of an
alien and tyrannical rule. At any
moment the question at issue may
be the destruction of friendly
neighboring state by a brutal power.
To say that war for such causes
must be wrong is to fail a dis
tinguish between evils. Nor Is 1t
reasonable to try to get along with
out means of defense. A sensible
program of military and naval pre-
paredness ought to have the support
of all right thinking citizens"
Attempting to make over human
nature by signing a pledge not to do
that, which experience shows will be
done when conditions arise. would
be as funny as sweeping back the
tide with a broom, were it not also
dangerous.

They were brother officers.
But one had been a former

Thrown together by fate at
an isolated army post, 1t sud-
denly fell to the former sweet
heart to guard the honor of

lit could only end in tragedy.
