BENSON TELLS
OF CRUELTIES OF
THE GERMANS
Describes the Sufferings and
Tortures That People of
, Armenia and Syria Have
Had to Endure.
The suffering of the Armenian and
Syrian people brought about by the
act of the Turks and the German
military authorities, was described by
E. A. Benson, Omaha real estate
dealer, and member of the executive
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief, in a talk at the Stock exchange
building Friday noon.
Mr. Benson said that after the Ar
menian had evacuated a certain ter
ritory by order of the military au
thorities, Red Cross nurses found 700
children huddled in garrets and cel
lars, with no food and but little cloth
ing. The authorities took them from
the nurses and drowned all of them
in a lake.
Thousands of old men, women and
children, he said, were required to dig
trenches under pretense that they
were to be used for military purposes,
but when the work was completed,
Turkish and German soldiers mur
dered them all with shovels, axes and
clubs, and dumped the bodies into the
Frenches.
"At one time 17,000 non-combatants
were ordered on a march of 300 miles
across a barren, scorching desert,
without food or water, and many of
them stark naked. All but 200 per
ished from starvation and exhaustion
on the way.
"It is impossible for us, who are
so far away from these terrible
scenes, to realize the hdrrors inflicted
upon those innocent people," said Mr.
Benson. "Every dollar contributed
means the prolonging, possibly the
saving, of a human life."

BETTER
THAN
CAIOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
, Edwards' Olive Tablets are
. . xa Harmless Substitute.
. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi
tute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to banish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
I These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not
co take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards'
' Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" anc
w "heavy " Note how they "dear" clouded
pram and how they "perk up the spirits.
