QUICK RELIEF FROM
 CONSTIPATION

That is the joyful cry Of tho' ,1s since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets. the substitute for calomel
 Dr. Edwards, a practicing physi- clan for 20 years. and Calomol's old time enemy discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating pa tients for chronic constipation and torpid lvers.
 Olive Tablets do not contain calo mel. just a healing, soothing vege- table laxative safe and pleasant.
 No griping is the keynote" ot these little sugar. coated. olivc-col- ored tablets. They help cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action.
 If you have a clark brown mouth"-bad breath--a dull. tired feeling-sicll headache-torpid liver constipation. you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of pr. Edwards Olive Tablets.
 Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c, soc, COG.

 Faced by the greatest and most dangerous emergency which has confronted our people since the civil war, all that is now proposed is more laws" Dr. Butler said. "Evou some of these appear to be directed at reducing still farther the protcc- ton once afforded to civil liberty by the bill Of rights"
 Mrs. Charles H. Sabin. chairman Of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform. said the report was "an indictment and admission Of the failure of the pro- hibition law"
 Austen G. Fox. chairman of the Moderation league, criticized the recommendation of the commission that minor violations of the Vol stead act be tried by United States commissioners, but this proposal was defended by United States Dis trlct Attorney Turtle as a sound method of relieving congestion in the courts.

IN TWO HOLD-UPS
Pedestrian "StuCk-up" Early
Christmas Day-Pair Take
Taxi and Money.

Staging a pair Of hold-ups early to-
day, bandits robbed a taxicab driver and
a pedestrian of nearly $50, according
to reports made to police of the seventh
and fourteenth precinct stations.
Stick-up Men Operate.
Wilfred E. Pickering of 1914 Mount
Pleasant street, was walking along
Klingle road near the Rock Creek
Bridge shortly after o'clock this morn
ing when two white men leaped from
behind a tree and ordered him to stick
'em up"
One of the bandits went through his
clothing and stole his money, Pickering
said, while the other held the pistol.
Both men fed without a backward
glance at their victim after taking the
money, police were told.
Taxi and Cash Taken.
The cab driver, Louis j. Lamp Of las
Twelfth street southeast, was held-up
by two colored passengers at Norman
Stone and Rock Creek drives and re-
lieved of SLABS. The men escaped in
the taxi, which later was found aban-
dcned.
Lamp told detectives he was hailed by
the men about / 80 o'clock this morning
while cruising around downtown and in
structed to drive to Twenty-sixth and
Woodland drive. Before reaching their
destination, however, the men showed a
gun into Lamps side and commanded

Fight on Commissioners
Who 0uSted Three.

new turn today with the report that two
of the trio, Solicitor Charles A. Rus

King, might be reinstated.
Despite this, however, some Senators
who were angered by the dismissal of
the men indicated that they would not
be satisfied to drop their fight on those
commissioners responsible for the GUST

"the wrong mental attitude" in sum-
marily removing the men.
Chairman George Otis Smith, Mar

the commissioners under fire and their
critics have threatened to move for re-
consideration of their confirmation to

SMOKE FILLS HOME,
COUPLE RESCUED
George Washington Univer-

Alarm to Be Sounded.

w. w. Ludlow, "a years old, who is
i'll. and his wife were rescued by police
men yesterday afternoon from their
rooms on the second floor of the build
ing at 1920 G street, when smoke from
a fire in the George Washington Uni
verSity School of Education Building,
next door, filled their home with smoke
Officer q. H. Chrisman of No. z
precinct, stationed on reserve duty,
and Officer P. K. Clark of No. / pre-
cinct rushed to the aid of Mr. and Mrs.
Ludlow when they learned he was sick
and in danger Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Ludlow were able to walk down the
steps, assisted by the policemen. Others
in the building at 1920 G street also
were guided down the steps to the street
by the police officers in the dense
smoke.
The fire, which started from an over
heated furnace, damaged the School
of Education Building, located at 1922
@ street, to the extent of approximately
$4,000, Acting Fire Marshal Lanahan
estimated today.
The education building is used for
both class rooms and as a meeting
place for a number of sororities, but
had not been used for either since Sat-
urday, according to George Washing
ton University officials. The furnace,
however, had been kept going.
The fire was discovered by a passer-
by. Firemen first arriving on the scene
sounded additional alarms, making
three alarms in all, when they noticed
the huge volumes of smoke, which had
been kept in the building because Of all
windows and doors having been closed.
The flames ate their way along a
pipe line in the wall as far as the third
floor, and firemen were forced to cut
through the flooring of the second floor
and into the wall to get to the blaze.
The flames were soon under control.
A large crowd quickly gathered in the
vicinity of the building.
Dean w. C. Ruediger of the School
of Education and DR.. John Donaldson,
dean of the Columbian College of the
university, arrived on the scene and
furnished the f1remen information
about the building.
Mr.. Ludlow felt no Ill effects from
the smoke this morning, Mrs. Ludlow
said.
