CORNCOB PIPES FAIL

Is Contention.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 10.-The cheap
est pipe on sale today in I.ordon, the
city which has perhaps two or three
times as many pipe smokers as any
other city in the world. Is the old
fashioned corncob pipe from Missouri,
which was given international promi
nenee by Mark Twain. The corncob
pipe here retails at to cents each,
but even al that can scarcely be con-
sidered as having made any notice
able inroads upon the British pipe in
dustry.
In fact, it may be said that the
corncob pipe is considered more of
freak than anything else, and is
bought chiefly by Americans as re-
minder of old corncob days back
home, and by few Britons who have
lived at intervals in the West or
middle West when corncobs were in
their prime.
Pipe dealers say here that the cornL
cob will never become really popular
in London, despite the low cost. be
cause it does not last any length of
time The Englishmen are always
eager to try a new pipe, say the
dealers, but they prefer hardwood
ones. and in buying new pipe they
endcavor to get one which will last
year or two, or longer. T Premier
Baldwin, the best known pipe smoker
that this country has produced, has
smoked one pipe in particular. almost
daily, during the last seven or eight
wears.

Two new aids for mapmaking

map based on ground survey.
makes high objects stand up in a
very conspicuous manner.
The camera is used for trans
ferring points to the map in cases
where a line map is to be made
and not a photograph. It is espe-
cially designed to correct for the
variations in scale and for the
distortion due to roll and pitch Of

RARE EXAMPLES OF ART
PLACED ON EXHIBITION
Four Books With Paintings OH
Foreedge of Each Placed in
National Museum Bureau

Four books with paintings on the
foreedge of each have been placed on
exhibition in the division of graphic
arts of the National Museum, Smith
sonian Building. These rare examples
of this art were loaned by the collec
tor. B. NJ. Comerford of this city.
70 Foreedge painting consists of paint
ing pictures and decorations on the
foreedge of a book while the leaves
are pulled back exposing a very mi.
mute surface of each leaf. This ex-
posed part receives the water-color
paint In some cases both sides of
the leaves have been painted in this
way, so that one picture appears when
the leaves are bent one way and an
other is seen when the. leaves are
bent the other way. The pictures dis
appear when the book comes back to
its normal shape.
Samuel Mearne (?-1683) of England
was the first person known to use
foreedge painting and is given the
credit for inventing and using the
process as early as 1862. 1t was still
in use as late as 1910. Recently In
Washington the process has been re-
vived by the miniature painter, Frank
lin Barber Clark.

BETTER THAN CALQMEL.
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets the SUBJ
stitute for caiomel are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with caiomei.
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 calorlel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Caiomei sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take caiomei.
Let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
its place.
Headaches, 'duilness and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and
heavy" They clear "~cIouded brain
