M-M DMH. Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel — are a mild but sure □xative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards’determination not to treat I liver and bowel complaints with calomel, i His efforts to banish it brought out these ' little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good I 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 ar.d quickly correct it Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes play s havoc with the gums, go do strong liquids. It is best not to 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 ’ and I “heavy.” Note how they “clear" clouded ' ! brain and how they “perk up” the spirits.' ; iQc and 25c a box. All druggists.

BARRETT Appeared for the Decatur Interurban Before Tax Commission. An Indianapolis dispatch to the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette says: "A dark picture of the interurlian railroad business was painted before me state board of tax commissioners today by J M. Barrett, of Fort Wayne, appearing for the Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana Traction company and the Fort Wayne and Decatur Traction company, "in his judgment.' he said, “there will be no more building of interurban railroads, and more of them will lie scrapped within the next two years. The losses due to private automobiles and jitneys," he said, “were perhaps greater than the losses due to increase in operating exSenses. Os private automobiles." he said, “the interurlian and street car companies had no right to complain, but they did have a right to camplain of unregulated jitneys that paid no t. xes." "The Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana Traction company also owns the local street ear lines in Fort Wayne. Peru. Logansport, and Lafayette. “The company, he showed, had defaulted to the extent of about $500,000 on the payment of bond interest. The company has $11,313,137 of outstanding bonds and liegan defaulting on interest September Ist. 1917. The Fort Wayne and Decatur Traction company was sold at a receiver's sale i" 1916 and in 1917 it was asserted ran behind about $5,000.” NEWS ABOUT OUR BOYS (United Press .Service) Camp Zachary Taylor.

April 30- One large manufacturing concern in Ohio provided gardens for it semployees iu 1917, and required them to keep an a:curate record of the time spent working the gardens and the value of the crop grown. At the end of tiie season the results showed that the gardeners had received 92 cents an hour for their space time spent in the gardens. Another large manufacturing eon cent in Illinois plowed up a prize 40- 1 acre alfalfa field and divided it into' garden plots for the use of its etn ployees. The results obtained from' tills garden plot far exceeded the expectations of both the company and its employees.

RVALUE OF RAPE I For Pork Production is Sent Out by the County Agent IN FOLLOWING ARTICLE — How to Prepare the Ground for Its Production. I i . County Agent Overton has been receiving quite a number of inquiries from farmers asking how to plant Dwarf Essex for hog pasture. He gives the following in reply: Dwarf Essex rape Is naturally adapt ed to a rich < lay-loam soil—the kind I that l reduces large yields of corn, in | oid feed lot or ground that has been used for feeding livestock during t tie last winter, grows rape particular.y well. Muck land that retains its natjural fertility is also good. For the, ■ average soil that can be obtained, an a; plication of lb tons of barnyard 'manure is highly desirable, for rape is ' a very heavy nitrogen feeder and must i get its nitrogen from the soil. I Plow ground for rape early and I prei are the seed bod as for corn, exJcept make it finer and firmer because the rape seed is rather small and do?s not germinate well in rough, cloddy soil. For early forage, plant as soon as the weather and the condition of the soil will permit. For later use. rape can be planted any time up to the first or middle of July It may be drilled in rows far enough io cultivate ' n ith a one-horse cultivator, drilled solid or broadcast. Three to four 1 rounds of seed are required per acre ' in rows, and six to eight pounds when drilled solid or broadcast. Planting in rows usually gives the ‘ largest pork yield, but this year it may be more profitable to drill in solid or h rrow it in. Use the seeder attach harrow it in. Use the seedes attachment of a grain drill to seed in rows ■ or drill solid. Stop up all the holes ■ excel t every third or fourth one to ’ p:ant in rows, connecting the opening < with the drill hoes with flexible tub's ■ if necessary. A little changing and ' adju-ting of tbe holes in the seeder at- - trehment will soon determine h.iw r large they must be to sow the right • amount of seed—one seed to about 1 every inch in a row. Cover the seed ’ one-half to one inch deep, and cultivate thoroughly if in rows. Rane grows rapidly and is ready to ’ graze six to eight weeks after planting 1 or when the plants are 10 to 12 inches high If it is pastured when too small the hogs will pull out many of the ' plants or bite off the tops. Since the >|Tape plant grows from the top this is a serious check to growth Under average conditions an acre 1 of rane will supply forage for 16 to 20 mature hogs. The best gauge for 1 pasturing is that number of hogs which leaves an appearance of plenty 1 of forage in the field, but not In rank growth. Grazed in this way rape will grow throughout the season and furnish forage from late May well in'o 1 November. Race is especially valuable to furnish pasture from early spring until ( clover is ready after harvest. The use of forage in pork productiou cannot be overlooked this year when grain is so scarce. In the feeding test ,n the Otto Bieberich farm last year, the use of pasture in addition to grain caused over two hundred less pounds -of grain to be used for every hundre i i pounds of pork produced and the ; hogs and pasture made a little over r six dollars per head'more profit than did the hogs fed the same grain but • kept in a dry lot. — —— — A SURGICAL DRESSING One surgical dressing may save a ~fe~ l he I'fc of a soldier in France who is fighting that America may be ■ kept free from the invasion and rape i of the enemy. You may provide just the necessary dressing by contribu‘ing your old rings, pins, broken jewelry. old sliver or other things in the metal line to the Red Cross melting ix>t. Ransack bureau drawers, old chests, trunks, cupboards and corneis in the pantry and see what y (l ,j ca ,, find. The whole may amount to a dollar- perhaps two. perhaps not so mu h possibly more.

CHURCH A CENTER ( For Demonstration tor the Food Adminis- ( tration. THE church SUPPER May Play a Part in Helping to in the War. The church supper can help foo-l‘l conservation. It can supply a meal u> | one hundred, two hundred or more peraoas which will substitute the food ’which U Plenty for .he food that s needed abroad. And th* l 111 quite an item. But that is not all the church can do. It can unobtrusively act as a di num stration center for the Food Administration R can boost lotatoes and other local vegetables, play up pinto beans, show the people how good corn I meat oatmeal and barley really are. The church supper, like the college boy .has possibilities For example there is the HomeGrown Supper. That depends on your community, of course Do you have maple trees? Do the farmers grow corn which is milled near by? Then your problem is settled excepting for the crowds which will flock to be fcl on hot com cakes and maple syrup. If you are one of those envied mid die western barley states, you will have enough on your hands. For barley is probably the most adaptable wheat saver that ever got into societv A church supper without any bread 1 would be a distinct novelty. And it can well be done by using hominy or rice instead, cr by doubling the potato i servings. An absolutely wheatless supper would be a read accomplishment. Prizes might be offered to the women cooking the supper, for the best wheatless and ryeless quick bread, the best wheatless and ryeless cake, the best pudding from the new products already mentioned. Cornmeal and oatmeal are two of the eastiest wheat substitutes with j which to get results. Com bread and oatmeal biscuits have already been graded with a "high ex” by the cooks of the country. Breads, puddings, ■ cakes and pies made from these should not be allowed to compete for prizss with those made with the other flours with which we are less familiar. The church supper might even teach some food lessons by serving ’ dishes with little tags showing the j number cf calories furnished by each serving and the classification according to the “five food groups.” —— o 5 ANTISUGAR BEET PROPAGANDA. > The local management of the Hol- , land St. Louis Sugar company calls - attention to the anti sugar beet propa i ganda that is finding circulation in t this country and clips the following ; from the Scientific American: 1 A very definite and insidious propaganda against the growing of , sugar beets is now showing its effect in our western states and federal food adminstrators in the states and coun ! ties where sugar beets are grown > n,aj ’ wel * be °n the lookout for this propaganda and be prompt in killing ( « The general effort is to discour , age the beet farmer and reduce acre age. chiefly by predicting unprofit able prices for sugar next fall. Any reduction in our sugar beet acreage would serve two purposes for Ger 1 many-first, a direct shrinkage in this wartime crop; second, the erip pling of our industry for the advan i tage of German beet sugar. Since the war we have made this eountrv independent of Germans for sugar beet seed, replacing inferior Russian strains formerly sold by Germany with pedigreed seed of our own breed . >nk We must make our country as nearly independent of outside sources of sugar supply as possible." • ARE RECRUIT7NG~AGEfYTS Chicago, 111., A7ril“o-Smith.
