Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. S7 II hen L. N. Constructed re I 1 Ditch That Caused Low- final Instructions ana consiuejr verdict. There ar two other cases on the docket against the railroad company, growing out ol the same facts.

These will be called and disposed of at this term if possible. In the suit on trial, the Knotts are claiming that in the year 1915, the railroad company so constructed a ditch between Utica and Crow Hickman as to cause the water to overflow their lands and destroy tobacco and corn crops planted for that year. Their damage is placed at for which amount judgment is asked. The railroad company is denying that it has constructed any ditch that caused the lands of the plaintiffs to overflow, or that they are liable in any damage whatever if the crops of the plaintiffs, were damaged and lost. The case of I.

N. Goff against Fred D. Strickler was continued until the next term by agreement. The case of Dr. A.

C. Foster against Joe T. Brown, is now on trial in circuit court and it is expected it will be concluded before noon today. inds To Overflow. Washington, Jan.

Peru, it became known, has been asked whethea the appointment of Senator Poindexter, of Washington, as ambassador at Lima would be acceptable. Investigation by the federal trade commission lno all phases of the cotton industry, including production, marketing and mill Operations, was ordered by the senate. The Federal Reserve board, in a review of conditions reported renewed indication of recovery in the agricultural industry from months of depression.

The Bursum pension bill, recently vetoed, was reported by the senate pensions committee after some of the provisions objected to by President Harding had been eliminated. The house military committee tabled the Bursum bill to authorize retirement of volunteer officers, disabled during the World war, on the same basis as regular army officers. Railroads were direced by the Interstate Commerce commission to resume he sale of interchangeable mileage books at a twenty per cent, reduction from regular passenger rates. Rejection of the nomination of James C. McNary, of New Mexico, to be comptroller of the currency was understood to be favored by two of three members of the senate subcommittee named to consider confirmation.

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not 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 plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel.

Sluggish Motors Cured From Loss of Power It seems to be true that we all have to live and learn; also that it takes a long time for some propositions to be worked out to complete satisfaction. Especially is this true of mechanical ideas. Since we have had automobiles, all of us have been bothered at some time or other with dirty spark plugs in our motors. They were either getting too much oil or they were consuming an extra amount of it.

which produced carbon, with the result that the motor was fouled with excessive carbon or was very easily overheated, resulting in the end of all these ailments, with loss of power and a sluggish motor. Four years ago a mechanic in a Detroit motor car factory developed a piston ring that time has proven does eliminate these shortcomings of the gasoline motor. In thousands and thousands of motors where they havj been installed, there has never been a case where the trouble of excessive oil has not been overcome with their use, also the elimination of most of the carbon that a motor produces in actual working conditions. Today they can be found in most of the better, garages in the country, and are made to fit all cars. Call for Pan yard rings and your mechanic will tell you that they do the work.
