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 a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the acknowledged 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 bad taste, coated tongue,
poor appetite, lazy, don't-care feeling,
no ambition or energy, trouble with
undigested foods? Take Olive Tablets
the substitute for calomel.
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. l5c and 30c.

SCR|VENERS' BODY
NOT TOBEEXHUMED
Police Drop Consideration of
Examination to Obtain
Fingerprints.

Police have dropped consideration
of plans for eXhuming the body OF
Detective Sergt Arthur Z. Scrivener,
who was found dead October 13, shot
through the heart, with pistol bear
ing blurred finger or thumb print
near the body, it became known to-
day.
The reason for SO doing is the con-
clusion by the police that even though
the body We're exhumed to take finger
prints of Scrivener. which are not
now in possession of the police, there
would be little if any value from
matching the prints with the print
on the pistol, so far as probative force
in sustaining either murder or
suicide theory is concerned.
After considering the matter, police
decided that even though the print
on the pistol might match a finger
print from the hand of Scrivener, i
would demonstrate simply that Scriv-
ener had touched the pistol before he
met deAth-which might have occur
red either in a suicide or in a murder.
Only the prints of two thumbs were
taken by Fred Sandberg. fingerprint
expert Of the Police Department, he
stated today, at the time the body was
ut the Morgue. He explained that he
10 take D1lUlS VI Tic llu6ckS dt
that time for the reason that the
blurred print on the pistol appeared
more like a thumbprint than a finger
print, although, he added, it was bare
ly possible it might be part of the
print of a finger. The only way in
which these fingerprintS might now
be obtained would be by eXhuming the
body.
New developments in the case were
lacking today. Speculative theories
concerning suicide and murder con-
tinue to be advanced. supported by
only the facts that have been well
known for several days.
+ Mrs. Emma Scrivener, mother of
the slain detective, mOtored here to-
day on her first visit since the death
of her son, and visited at the home
of Matthew Walsh. 1928 N street,
where Scrivener roomed the past IL
years.
Accompanying Mrs. Scrivener was
her husband, Turner A. Scrivener,
and Dale Baker, their son-in-law. The
father said he came to look after his
sons effects.
Mr.. Scrivener has been appointed
administrator of his sons estate by
the Winchester, Va, courts. He ap-
peared at police headquarters, where
he saw Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, chief
of police; Inspector Henry G. Pratt,
chief of detectives. and other officials.
Maj. Hesse turned over to Mr..
Scrivener a check for $1,000. repre-
senting the police insurance; a check
for $95.06, salary due at the time of
the tragedy, and SIS funeral allow
ance.
Mr.. Scrivener reiterated that the
family cannot believe Detective Scriv-
ener committed suicide. He spoke Of
the visit of his son and Miss Parker
to Winchester some weeks before the
tragedy and commented upon the ap-
parent happiness of them at that time.
