Millions Are Fighting
That Tired Feeling
This gentle bile.producer miqtt help'

1hls genie 0ste.prOduceT might help
Some people are always tired, no mat
ter how much sleep they get. Often
they are just suffering from constipa-
tion. For early fatigue, mental dull
ness, sleeplessness, sour stomach and
its resultant bad breath, mental de-
preston, the aggravation of most skin
blemishes, can all be caused by it.
So keep regular. And if you need to
assist Nature, use DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. This gentle laxative can help
bring relief. Extremely important, too,
is the mild stimulation it gives the flow
of bile from the liver without the dis
comfort of drastic, irritating drugs.
That's why millions use this laxative
yearly. All druggists, 15e, 300, 60f.
"Your liver secretes from 20 to 80 ounces Of
bile every day to aid in the digestion of fats and
stimulate muscular action of the intestinal
system. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, besides
helping keep you regular. contain special in.
gredient which definitely assists in the secre-
tion of bile. That is one of the reasons Vhy
Olive Tablets have unsurpassed effectiveness.

~ 81
By Katherine Edelman

TN SPITE of the gay music, the
Christmas atmosphere, Doris
IL Brian was miserable. For the
first time in his life Dick was neg
lecting her for some one else.
Ever since the first dance ne
seemed to have eyes and ears for
Just one person-Barbara Overton,
a visitor from Chicago. Doris
couldn't understand it; Barbara
was not even pretty. But there
was Dick, hanging on every WORD
she was saying, and leaving DORIS
unnoticed.
Only yesterday he had been sug-
costing that they get married;
There was his writing; he had told
her something would come from it
before long. Editors couldn't keep
saying ''no' forever But now
he seemed to have forgotten that
she even existed. Doris had heard
of men growing suddenly infatuat-
ed like that
Snatching a wrap she hurried out
on the veranda. She couldn't bear
the gayety another moment. Sud-
denly she felt herself whirled
around. Dick had come quickly
through the doorway. "I've got
the whole dope from her." he was
saying excitedly. "I'm on the way
to riches. Don't you know she's
THE Barbara Overton who took
first place in the biggest contests
last year-and, honey-she's put
me right on the track. Pm going
to win big money next year-you
see if I don't. Doris, are you will
ing to take chance, and marry
me right away-to make it a
Christmas wedding?"
Which was exactly what Doris
did.

Telephones Play I'M
portant Roles In Stage
And Radio Presentations
Used To Give Plots Backgrounds,
Credibility; "Phony" Mum.
bers Protect Subscribers

More and more the use of the tele-
phone is gaining popularity in the
theatre and radio as q means Of giving
audiences the background Of the plot
and of giving credibility to the action.
The demand has grown in New York
City until The New York Telephone
Company has established section de-
voted to supplying the theatre and
radio with "phony" numbers and
period telephones.
Hundreds of telephones, dating
from the time of it's invention by Alex
ander Graham Bell in 1876, are kept
on hand to be loaned free to metro
politan producers.
OF the plays on Broadway "Hooray
for What" tops the list with q total
of six modern hand sets. "The Star
Wagon" uses an old type wall set, and
the late lamented "How to Get Tough
About It" used pay booth import
antly in one scene. Other shows using
telephones are: "Kiss the Boys Good
bye" Golden Boy" "Susan and God"
"The Women" and Groom Service"
Authors frequently call the company
to get numbers which sound right but
will not bring the wrath Of an unsus-
pecting subscriber down on the COM
pany's head when the pranksters In
the audience try 1t on their dials the
next day. The telephone company
keeps file of fictitious numbers which
have an authentic sound geographic
ally.

installed them in his church.
Some bell authorities claim
that Pope Sabinianus gave us
the first church bells in 604.
The custom has grown until
there is perhaps no use OF
church bells so widely known
in Christian countries as the
ringing of chimes to herald
the advent of the birth OF
Christ. From huge cathedrals tc
tiny country churches, from the fro
zen arctic to the sunny tropics, the
bells peal forth each Christmas sea-
son an old, old story of Peace or
Earth, Good Will to Men,"
Americas very national existence
is wrapped up in the priceless Lib
erty bell at Philadelphia, and Ger.
tainly no one can say that bell mu-
sic isn't the most democratic music
in the world. It's always free, un-
restricted to any few who can buy
tickets to a concert.
In recent years the ancient bell
has "grown up" into the carlton, q
highly sensitive instrument on
which Christmas carols seem to find
their most perfect expression. There
are now more than 200 of these
instruments, 80 of them in the Unit
ed States. Similar to the carlton,
but differing in the number of bells,
tuning and arrangement of key
board, are chimes. Some of the
finest chimes hang in English ca
thedrals and spread the Christmas
message each December.
A chapter in the history of bells
may be found in the story of al
most. any creed or culture. First
known in the East, they were used
by aboriginal people as ornaments.
They came down through Grecian
days and called Roman citizens to
the forums, later summoning early
Christians to worship. In the Mid
die ages they called people to arise,
guided the far-away traveller.
Napoleon loved bells so dearly he
would not destroy them, while Hen
r. VIII took fiendish delight in de.
stroying them.
Bells have made people laugh and
cry, have stirred them to action and

DEAR'S
CHRISTMAS DOLL
BY Helen Galsford Waterman

IN EAR was really too big to
play with dolls. Yet, when
- she said that all she wanted
for Christmas was a really nice
loll, of course mama and every
one gave in.
People always were nice to Dear,
probably because Dear was so nice.
That was why everyone called her
Dear" instead of by name.
Such doll, on Christmas morn
ing, with real eyelashes, and long
curls. 1t could walk, talk, and
sleep. And it had whole truck OF
lovely dresses and shoes, and lit
tie fur coat.
Dear dashed down to see it first
thing Christmas morning, and then,
when breakfast was over, she got
her wraps, dressed the doll in its
fur coat, and set out with its trunk
under one arm, and it in the other.
''She's so proud, she has to show
it to her friends" smiled mama.
But when Dear returned, she had
neither doll or trunk. 'Why, Dear, .
said mama, where's your doll?'
IT gave it away" Dear an
wered. II do hope you won't
mind. You see, I knew little
girl who had never had a doll in
her whole life, and / wanted so to
give her one on Christmas"
"But Dear, why didn't you say
so? We could have bought one
that would have been good enough,
and you could have kept yours"
"That's why, mama," Dear ex-
planned. SIT had to be just the
incest doll ever, to be fun. And oh,
MAMA" she cried, her face BEAM
ing with happiness, "did you ever
see a poor little girl with her first
lovely Christmas present."

SET TOMORROW
Former Gen. Williams Also
to Face Jury on Charge of
Fraud Attempt.

Former Brig Gen. Alexander E.
Williams, Joseph Silverman, jr., and
his brother Nathan. charged with con-
spring to defraud the Government,
are scheduled to go on trial in District
Court tomorrow before Justice Joseph
w. Cox.
There was possibility however,
that the case might be continued.
The charge against the three men
is based on their alleged efforts to
conceal Frank E. Speicher, a dealer
in automobile tire tubes, while he was
being sought as witness by the
House Military Affairs Committee.
Counsel for the defendants had at
tackled the indictment on the theory
concealment of a witness could not
constitute conspiracy to defraud the
Government. but the sufficiency Of the
charge finally was upheld in the
courts.
Ryan Gets Separate Trial.
Thomas Jefferson Ryan. New York
attorney and former member of Con-
gress, also was named in the indict-
ment. He filed a motion for a sep
arate trial, however, and his request
was granted 81
The alleged concealment Of Speicher
occurred nearly four years ago while
the House Committee was investigat ting
charges of lobbying in the War De-
partment. The committee wanted to
question Speicher concerning a So, 500
loan he allegedly made to Gen. Will
liams, charge upon which the officer
was court-martialed, convicted and
dismissed from the Army.
The activities of the Silverman
brothers, formerly dealers in Army
surplus goods, were investigated at
great length by the House Committee.
Chairman McSwain asserting that
Joseph Silverman had spent nearly
$500, 600 on gambling and whisky for
Army officers while he was seeking
War Department contracts.
Testimony From Spricher.
The committee also finally received
testimony in executive session from
Speicher. who was located by agents
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
after countrywide search. His
testimony was turned over to the War
Department for use in the court mar
tial of Gen. Williams.
The case will be prosecuted by Irwin
Goldstein, special assistant to the
Attorney General The Silvermans
