QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets, the substitute for calomef.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for 20 years and calomels old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Olive Tablets do not contain calomel,
just healing. soothing vegetable laxa-
tive mixed with olive oil.
No gripping is the "keynote" Of these
little sugar-coated, olive colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a dark brown mouth
bad breath--a dull, tired feeling sick
headache - torpid liver - constipation,
you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re-
suits from one or two Of DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take them every night to
keep right. Try them. 15c. Soc, 6Oc.--

He sat down on the piano bench
with his back to the keyboard.
Heath rose, but instead Of going
to the door, walked to the otiel
window.
There's one thing want to call
your attention to, sir, before you
interview these people, and that's
the matter of entrances and exits
in this apartment"
He drew aside the gold-gauZe cur

are equipped with iron bars just
like these.

the only way-that anybody can get

through this door.
Just keep that fact in your mind,
sir, while you're listening to the
stories of these people Now,
I'll have the maid brought in"
In response to Heath's order a
detective led in a mulatto woman
about thirty years old.
She was neatly dressed, and gave
one the impression of capability.
When she spoke it was with a
quiet. clear enunciation which at
tested to a greater degree of educa-
ton than is ordinarily found in
members of her class.
Her name, we learned, was Amy
Gibson; and the information clio
tied by Markham's preliminary
questioning consisted of the fol-
lowing facts:
She had arrived at the apart
ment that morning a few minutes
after seven, and, as was her Gus
tum, had let herself in with her
own key, as her mistress gener-
ally slept till late.
Once or twice a week she came
early to- do sewing and mending
for Miss Odell before the latter
arose.
On this particular morning she
had come early to make an altera-
ton in a gown.
AS soon as she opened the door
she had been confronted by the
disorder of the apartment. for the
Venetian-glass doors of the foyer
were wide open; and almost stimuli
taneously she had noticed the body
Of her mistress on the davenport.
She had called at once to Jes-
sup, the night telephone operator
then on duty, who, after one glance
into the living room, had notified
the police.
She had then sat down in the
public reception room and waited
for the arrival of the officers.
Her testimony had been simple
and direct and intelligently stated.
If she was nervous or excited, S. We
managed to keep her feelings well
under control.
"Now," continued Markham, after
a short pause, '1et us go back to
last night. At what time did you
leave Miss Odell?"

GARY CHINESE
HIGHLY VALUES
CITIZENSHIP
Struggled Into Country,
Launryman Fights to
Stay.

By United Press
GARY, Ind, Jan. 23.-Citizen-
ship at which many native-born
Americans are wont to sneer is
valued highly by George Fong, %,
Gary laundry man. Struggled into
this country three years ago by a
sailor for a consideration Of $3.50,
Fong was found hiding in a laundry
on w. Fifth Ave-, a week ago, and
held for immigration officials. He
was taken to Chicago TO be deported
with several dozen other Chinese
under direction of j. Brekke Of the
United States immigration depart
ment.
Fong's whereabouts was discovered
only after years determined effort
of Government officials, so closely
knit is the Chinese cooperation, In
spector Brekke said. Police searched
the laundry several times where
Fong was employed and he was
finally found, hiding beneath heap
of bed-clothes on a bunk, in the
basement. Police expressed surprise
that he did not smother when he
was dragged, squealing, from his
hiding place.
Several conflicting stories were
told by Fong regarding his en-
trance into the United States. First
he claimed his entry was legal and
that his father, residing in San
Francisco, Cal, was in possession
of his papers. He later denied this
statement, saying his parents were
dead and that he had paid a sailor
$3.50 to conceal him as a stowaWay
in boat from China and smuggle
him into this country.
Deportation proceedings will be
brought against Fong in United
States Commissioner Glass court in
Chicago today.

the apartment.
Dark, low-hanging clouds hac
drifted across the sun, and the gray
spectral light intensified the tragic
atmosphere of the rooms.
Markham had lighted a cigar
and stood leaning against the piano
looking about him with diScon-
Solate but determined air.
Vance had moved over to one OF
the pictures on the side wall of the
living room-Boucher's LA Bergere
Endormie" I think it was-and stood
looking at it with cynical contempt
"Dimpled nudities, gamboline
cupids and woolly clouds for royal
cocottes." he commented.
His distaste for all the painting Of
the French decadence under Louis
XIV was profound.

Markham impatiently.

ly.
"And I've an idea that when Du-

Vance turned toward him with a

He made playful gesture Of

Cultivation of Alfalfa

hence are not torn out by the cultiya-
tion.
The cultivation is done early in the
year, usually preceding or following
the first cutting. Unless the season
is very unfavorable, the second and
third cuttings are thicker and weed
free, according to those who have fol-
lowed the practice of cultivating their
alfalfa, while the life Of the seeding
is greatly prolonged.

Dangerous to Turn Cows

Turning cows out on the pastures
too soon in the spring is one of the
common mistakes milk producers

tendency will be greater than before
because of the general shortage Of
feed.
To turn the cows out in the pastures
too early hurts the pastures. and the
feed value Of the pastures is especial

Wait until the grass gets good start
and take the cows off winter rOughage

cows have been on pasture the me-

Build Up Productivity
of Soil and Retain It

Comparing the farm to q factory in
a recent publication by the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
authors, A. T. Wiancko and S. D. Con-
nor, say: 1.-THE farmer should know
his soil and have q sound basis for
every step in its treatment. Building
up the productivity of soil to high
level and then maintaining. it, Is an
achievement for which every farmer
should strive. The business of farming
should be conducted as infelligently
and as carefully as manufacturing
business. Every process must be un-
derstood and regulated, from the raw
material to the finished product, in or
der to be uniformly successful. The
farmers factory is his farm. Differ
ent soils present different problems
1t is important, therefore, that soils
be studied and understood in order
that the production Of crops may be
most satisfactory and profitable. No
system of soil management can be sat
isfactory that does not in the long run
bring profitable returns. Some soil
treatments and methods of manage
ment may be profitable for a time. but
ruinous in the end. One-sided or un-
balanced soil treatments have been al
together too common in the history Of
farming in this country. A property
balanced system Of treatment win
make almost any soil profitably pro-
ductive."

Fewer and Bigger Plants
Are Needed by Industry

"Fewer and bigger matchmaking
plants 60 with fewer and better cows
In the Improvement Of Wisconsin's
dairy industry" says X. L. Hatch. di-
rector Of extension at the University
of Wisconsin.
Professor Hatch believes that COM
petition win prevent the. establishment
Of more one-man plants which have
been common since pioneer days. He
believes that modern transportation
makes It possible to assemble a large
volume of milk and cream at one
point where it can be handled by ex-
perts In plants equipped with labor
saving, large-volume machinery. A
single milk plant Of this type can re-
place a dozen one-man factories and
save the labor of several men. An
other feature in favor Of the large
plant is in the uniformly good product
which is possible when the best of ma
chinery is used and the work is done,
BY experts.

Combine Has Advantage,
Saving Grain and Labor

Besides saving an immense amount
of labor in the harvesting and thresh-
ing of grain, the combine also has the
advantage of wasting less grain than
any other method OF harvesting. Every
farmer knows that there is certain
amount Of grain lost behind the cut
ter-bar Of a binder, as well as some
shattering in the binding mechanism
and when the bundles are dropped. A
further loss occurs in shocking, still
more in loading and unloading, and
there is always some waste around the
threshing machine, besides the small
amount which usually goes through
with the straw unless the machine is
very carefully operated. The total
loss with the binder method varies, of
course, with the condition of the grain,
but it is always appreciable.

Better Preparation
Urged for Berries
Growers Should Aim to Pro
]. duce Fruit Of High Grade.

Prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l
The unsatisfactory condition and
grade of strawberries often found on
the market indicates a need for more
attention to Standardization and bet
ter handling methods, according to
the bureau Of agricultural economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, following d field survey Of
strawberry marketing methods.
Growers, says the department.
should aim TO produce berries of
such uniformly high quality that no
hand grading is necessary, as any
extra handling adds to the possibility
Of decay. In many instances, how
ever. hand grading is necessary and
profitable, but the logical place to
grade berries is in the field. Whether
or not the berries have been hand or
field graded, the filed boxes should
be classified as to grade before they
are placed in crates for shipment
Field grading under proper super
vision is preferred to grading in the
packing shed because it involves less
handling and therefore less deteriora-
ton in transit. The use Of established
standard grades is recommended as
furnishing a definite basis and guide
to the grower in preparing his crop
for market. to the buyer in purchas-
ing the fruit, and for inspection either
at shipping point or terminal mar
ket..
Boxes should contain uniform
grade of berries and should be filled
so that they are not slack nor yet full
enough for the berries to be crushed
when placed in the crates. The crates
should be loaded in the cars SO as to
permit ample circulation of cold air,
and should be firmly stripped and
braced to prevent shifting and dam
age to the load while in transit.

ment's survey has been published in

Tuberculin Test
Is Not Harmful
Treatment Cannot Possibly

Prepared BY the United States Department
Of ARricuiture1
'sThe tuberculin testing Of cattle can
not possibly cause either abortion or

Mohler. chief of the bureau Of animal
industry, United States Department
Of Agriculture. is reply TO assertions
sometimes heard that tuberculin when
injected into a COW may cause her to
abort or become sterile.
Record OF One Cow.
At a recent hearing before q con-
gressional committee, Doctor Mohler
reported extended observations on this
subject in answer to the inquiry of
Congressman L. J. Dickinson. of Iowa.
1.-THE bureau has the record Of one
cow" Doctor Mohler stated, (which
received over 100 cubic -centimeters
Of tuberculin at une time and that
cow lived to be eighteen years OLD and
was never known tc abort" The cow
produced many healthy calves during
that time, Doctor Mohler also ex-
planned.
Furthermore" he continued, mo
cases have been recorded in the lit
erature on the subject which would
lead even to the suspicion that either
abortion or steriiity is caused by the
injection. Of tuberculin. II have per-
sonally injected large numbers Of
pregnant cows with from 80 to 80
drops Of tuberculip subcutaneOu sly.
which is the old method of injecting
tuberculin, and have yeti see the first
COW stink her calf as the result Of the
test. With the modern method of
intradermic testing which is followed
In over 95s per cent of our work, only
two drops of tuberculin are injected
into the fold Of the tail. The claim
that such a small amount of tuher-
cuiin will produce abortion or steril-
lty is purely a figment of the imagina-
ton and without any foundation in
fact"
Tested Annually.
For instance, almost in the shadow
Of this Capitol building" Doctor Moh-
Ter continued, "there are two govern
ment-owned herds averaging from $50
to $50 cows each, which have been
tuberculin tested annually and some
times semianpually for at least two
decades, and they are free not only
of tuberculosis but Of abortion as we'll,
despite the fact that the annual tu-
berculin test is still being applied"
The foregoing statement is. sup
ported by the wide observation of

of study to animal diseases, both In
