blood, myself a student of German
universities, I loved the : German
people. In every; issue, however,
that affected this country,. I worked
for and advocated the full mainte

ly against German ruthlessness than
against the British blockade, and in
the Evening Mail I was among the

relations of. five years ago with Ger
many, then' a friendly nation," he
added. "Although working against
the British blockade, my association
with German representatives was on
a decent and honorable basis. It
was not the damning thing it would
have been With German aggression
and war upon us."
"I know that Heinrich Albert" was
banker for, large commercial inter

other operations. Net losses of 1.60
per 'cent were made by the second

BETTER III CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are th result of Dr.
Edwards' determination pot to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The 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 clays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazj
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take Dr Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy"anc
