that it has never left it's original

garded as adequate for all purposes
Apart from the guards. International
crooks know that for paper currency.
at any rate, the Bank Of England
would be about the most futile place
to burgle, because the bank has its
own methods of handling paper
money. Every note issued from
Threadneedle street has its own pri-

note that re-enters Threadneedle street
is cancelled and passes out of circu-

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

Or. 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 coIored tablets are
the result of Dr.. Edwards determi-
nation not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with caIomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calonel 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
Calon1el sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take caIomeI. Let Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets take it's
place.
Headaches, "dulIness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation, and

BANKS IN ENGLAND
CLOSELY GUARDED
Picturesque foot Guards"
and Other Watchmen of
Wealth Always on Duty.

By Cable To The Star and New York World,
LONDON. February S.---The news
that the Bank of England is being
rebuilt, without having its vast stores
or gold and other treasure removed
to other vaults, has not excited inter
national crookdom. for international
crooks know that London is not "A
good center for bank robberies, and
that The Old Lady of Threadneedle
street Is far better guarded than is
apparent to the casual observer. 1t is
even more so now that rebuilding
operations are on. and there is rough
ly one detective to every workman
employed there.
Americans, accustomed to bank
"hold-ups" and robberies of cashiers
in the streets of New York and other
great cities. have always marTeled on
the casual manner in which British
bank messengers carry large sums Of
money around London. unarmed and
practically without escort. Even

At dawn the sCarlet-coated guard

been much more efficiently performed
by the ordinary policemen on point

But in the daytime there are no
