QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr._ Edwards, a practicing physician
for 17 years and calomel's old-time en
emy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, sooth
ing vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth"
now and then—a bad breath—a dull,
tired feeling—'sick headache torpid
liver and are constipated, you'll find
quick, sure and only pleasant results
from one or two little Dr, Edwards'
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take one or two '■very
night just to keep right. Try them.

that he give this preparation a thor- \

"l must say that our baby had '
such a cold on her chest and in her
throat that she could hardly talk,
and we could not get her to take
anything internally. After we used
Vick's Vapoßub Salve on her breast

No family should be without thia

The Rotarians should change their
name. They should be known as the
Ancient and Honorable Order of Oloom
Chasers. Thomases who doubt this
should attend either a luncheon at the
Columbus some Monday or one of the
regular meetings of the well-known
Rotarians. Gloom is always beyond
the horizon for the Rotarians. I got
this straight when 1 attended the Ro
tary Club meeting last night out at
Sam Eby's bag and box factory. Ver
non near Seventeenth. It was my first
Rotary meeting, but it won't be my
last.
These Rotarians, you know, meet
around at each other's place of busi
ness. They get an eye-full of the other
fellow's methods of conducting his
business, for Instance, Eby put his ]
whole force on last night for an hour,
paying time and half for overtime,
just to show the Rotarians the system
employed in his factory—a system, by
the way, that resulted In such excel
lent boxes that all poor Sam could sell
last year was 5,000 shy of 2.000,000! ]
The Rotarians were so interested In
the whole works that such well-known i
men as Ed. Black. John Musser. C. M.
Forney, W. M. Robinson and P. B.
Edelen just couldn't stay away from
the machines—and they took great
pleasure in helping the young ladies
make boxes.
"Say. Myrt." said one of the girls
after Ed. Black had finished "helping"
her, "I wonder if that guy knows that
I'm on piecework? I lost a nickel
while he was doing the 'gallant-jump- |
man' act."
When the Rotarians entered the;
factory Sam Eby and an assistant pre
sented them with paper hats, made on
the bag machinery. Captain Dumb, of
the State police, and President Howard J
C. Fry, of the Rotarians, presented the !
most statuesque appearance, although j
"Doc" Shope and Carey, the typewriter
man, looked like French ccoks, too— !
not forgetting, either. "Abe" Meyers, j
"Doc" Kann and "Shull" Rutherford. I
The first thing they did was read !
the minutes. Ordinarily the oversigned
writer is all too willing to hear some- j
one jump to his feet and make a mo
tion that the minute reading be dis-!
pensed with, but the way this man ;
Robinson, the secretary, writes the!
minutes, it's a pleasure to listen to j
them. He missed his calling; instead j
of the insurance business he ought to !
be a newspaper writer. Then, after !
that. Howard Fry told the bunch that |
each of them had two words in which '
to tell his business.
"And as words are scarce now. on I
account of the war notes," said Fry. j
"if you go over two words you pay a
fine of 10 cents."

Committee Welcomes I .ads
The reception committee met at the
Pennsylvania Railroad station and
were escorted to track No. 6. on which
the troop train arrived, by Captain
Paul L. Barclay, of the Pennsylvania
Kailroad police department. The
troopers lined up on the platform and
were later escorted to Fifth and Mar
ket streets, where they met the recep
tion parade.
In the meantime Captain George C.
Jack, in command of the Governor's
Troop, who has been home on a fur

Roberts in Command
The Governor's Troop, in command
of lieutenant George W. H. Roberts,
escorted by the reception committee,
held the extreme left of the line. The
route was slightly changed and was
as follows:
Up Market street to Market Square,
to Second street, to North, to Fourth, |
to State, where the paraders opened
order to allow the troopers to inarch
through to the armory on State street
near Fourth. In armory hall, to which
no person was admitted but the cav
alrymen and reception committee, the
soldiers formed a hollow square.
There were no speeches. Following
orders to remove belts and carbines,
the troopers were given a brief respite,
during which the members of the com
mittee welcomed each soldier person
ally.
Lieutenant Roberts subsequently or
dered a detail to go to the stockyards
and assits in unloading the horses. An
other detail was sent to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad station to look after
the troop property. The other troop
ers were then given an opportunity to
meet their friends and the rush was on.

Harrisburg with, ninety-two men. One
trooper, Frank Weber, who resides on
Regina street, was taken sick en route. I

It didn't get over; and ho paid the

his auricular appendages suffered a

when "Doc" Kann said that he was
"treating patients."
"What's that?" says Fry. "Bleed

A coal man present facetiously re
marked that ho "sold slate." An un
dertaker declared earnestly that he
"followed doctors." The vodevil dur
ing this five-minute session was big

After a while Fry called on folks to
I tell why they used Sam Eby's boxes;
I and they told why.
When Eby had finished telling about
his business the president announced
[ that ten modest and retiring Rotarians

l'irst Snow
1 The first snow was seen at Little
Rock, Ark. From that point until
! Harrisburg was reached the snow and
cold weather increased. At Pittsburgh
, yesterday the troopers had a good time
while the horses were being watered.
They did not go to bed last niKht, pre
. ferring to remain up until the train
reached Harrisburg. En route they
were given rations,
i While glad to get home, every mem
ber of the Governor's Troop expressed
, gratification over the opportunity to
acquire real military training. Most
of the troopers said their desire to set
home was because there was little to
do except routine work at El Paso.
They had many pleasant hours not
withstanding the strict discipline of
army life.
Assemble at 2 To-day
The troopers were dismissed until
this afternoon at 2 o'clock, when
rations were again served. They will
remain within close call until mus
tered out. It is probable the Wur De
partment will send an army mustering
officer to Harrisburg before the close
of the week.
The troopers brought home two
mascots. One was the black Pome
ranian presented to Captain George C.
Jack by Mrs. Charles F. Kyder. of the
Harrisburg Division, Women's National
Preparedness league. Trooper Frank
Kline was in charge of this pet, which
was sick only four days at El Paso.
The other mascot was a white shep
! herd dog which came to the Gov-
I ernor's Troop headquarters several
] months ago and made friends with
I Johnny Shade, the cook. He assumed
| ownership and is still in possession of
I the deer.
•Tolinny Shade Great Cook
Members of the Governor's Troop
had a whole lot of good things to say
j for Johnny Shade, their cook. He en
listed as a regular trooper, but later
when it was learned that he knew!
something about cooking, he was!
given charge of the kitchen. Trooper i
Shade's cookinpr was "just like moth- i
er's." He never had a kick during!
the six months' service.
Cook Shade was always making
something new and palatable for the
, soldiers. He baked pies and cookies,
and roasted chicken and turkey. En
route East from Pittsburgh Trooper
Shade who was in charge of the
kitchen car baked pies and gave the
troopers a treat.
Philadelphia Troops Pass Through
! Four troops enroute to Philadelphia
| passed through Harrisburg last niKht.
I The first section reached Harrisburg
|at C:4O, and left soon after. During
! the short stop-over here many friends
| of the Philadelphia troopers extend
ed a welcome to them at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Station.
The second troop train came as far
as Rockville and was then diverted
north. On this train were the Lewis
burg, Sunbury and Lock Haven troops.
This section was one hour back of the
Philadelphia train.
State Care For the
Abnormal Children
Plans for the presentation to the ;
| Legislature of a measure for a State!

ernoi Brumbaugh and representatives'
iof various organizations Interested in!
Ithe care of children at a conference
iheld in the Capito lto-day. The Gov-'
.ernor in the course of an address said 1

RETURN CARS TO
FOREIGN ROADS
Shortagc Is on Decrease; Equip
ment in Yards Await
Repairs
Daily inventories are being taken
by the Pennsylvania Railroad of alt
foreign cars in this vicinity. The
purpose is to return all <sars as soon
as possible. The car shortage is
showing a slight decrease, Local rail
road officials, while still experiencing
some trouble in getting cars, are of
the opinion that the shortage will soon
be at an end.
In the effort to co-operate with other
railroads the Pennsylvania Railroad
is sending an average of 500 cars
daily.
In addition to cutting down the
shortage, the company saves 75 cents
per day, for each car, for holding
foreign equipment and also keeps the
freight crews busy, as traffic at pres
ent is not very heavy.
There are still a number of idle
oars in the Harrisburg, Knola and
Marysvillo yards. Most of them be
long to other railroads. The large
majority of cars in the yards, it is
said are waiting for repairs.

PARDON BOARD TO
SUMMON DOCTORS
[Continued From First Page]
ognize every effort to continue a case
Its list would be littered with applica
tions from one year's end to another.
Counsel for Nelson, who was con
victed at Tunkhannock of causing the
death of a fan named Sigler by stab
wounds, in October. 1915, declared i
that he had been informed a few days
ago by Dr. O. C. Thofson, of Scranton, '
a surgeon, who had made an autopsy
that the dead fan had died because a
portion of his intestines had been al
lowed to protrude in dressing the case.
This doctor had visited the man
shortly after the stabbing and had
found his condition so favorable for
recovery, he said, that he had not
taken off the bandages. When the
man died an autopsy was held at
which it was alleged that a condition
evidencing lack of careful treatment
was discovered.
District Attorney Surprised
District Attorney Parr, of Wyoming 1
county, said that he believed the man
died from wounds about the heart
and commented upon the fact that Dr.
Thompson did not appear at the trial,
which was held almost a year ago.
The Lieutenant Governor said that in
cases of reasonable doubt the Board
desired to give the heneilt of investi
gation and directed the doctors to ap- 1
pear and attorneys to use their utmost I
endeavors to get at the facts.
Nelson is sentenced to be electro
cuted in the week of Januarv 29 but
will be respited. It is possible that
his case may also be taken to the Su- |
preme Court in an effort to obtain a j
new trial.
The proceedings in the case were as
unusual as the plea made for a con- '
tinuance. Never before in the history r
of the Board has such a claim been |
made as that the doctors failed to take
proper care of a wound. And never
before has the Board summoned men
to appear before it as witnesses.
Nelson's case is one of national im
portance. He stabbed Sigler appar- j
ently without much reason and re- 1
fused to give his name, keeping every- I
one in doubt for days as to his identity.
Ministers and others have become in
terested in him and the case attracted
wide attention when tried. Now the
question of professional ethics Tias
been brought in. It is said that Dr.
Thompson communicated has findings
to authorities and even to the Attor
ney General, but that counsel for the
condemned man never knew of the
vital report until Sunday. Dr. Thomp
sol* .' s Ba ''l to be desired to make a 1
privileged communication, but the
exigencies of the case will force him
to make a statement about another
doctor's care of the case.
Cattery's Case Heard
Application for commutation of the
death sentence of Patrick Callers',
Northampton, on the ground of insan
ity was made in the presence of the
condemned man's sister and opposed
by District Attorney F. B. McCloskey
who stated that he appeared by direc
tion of Judge Stewart, of the North
ampton courts. Callery was declared
by his counsel to have been pro
nounced insane by five doctors, but
the State objected to the plea holding
that lii actions were not those of an
tsane man, hut of one addicted to ex
cessive drinking. Callery was de
elared to have run amuck with a re
and to have shot four persons,
killing one and to have opened fire on
policemen when they tried to arrest
him.
So much time taken up with
the homicide oases that lieutenant
Governor MeClain limited arguments
in others to fifteen minutes each.
TEUTON DRIVEIs

[Continued From First I'age]
! recently delivered, according to news
agency advices from Athens.
Teutons Are Stopped in
Rumania For First Time
Since Mid-November
i London, Jan. IT.—lt is remarked here
I that the Teutonic allies now, for the
j first time since mid-November are fail -
ling to make advances in Kumania and
I that the offensive for the moment at
least seems to have passed to the Rus
| sians and Rumanians.
Information Is lacking as regards the
cause for tlie slowing up of the move
ment. Some reports say the Russo-
I Rumanians have received large rein
forcements and guns and munitions,
but elsewhere the question is asked
whether the situation is not due to the
winter in Northern Rumania, which is
as severe as that in miu-Kussia.
The Morning Post's Petrograd corres
pondent says the opinion prevails there
that the Russian stroke in the direction
of Mitau had a disconcerting effect on
the German arrangements which has
been heightened by the increased activ
ity of the Russians on the various other
sections of the northern front. The cor
respondent says the German lines are
thinly held everywhere except in Ru
mania, and the Germans consequently
are showing nervousness over the re
cent Russian moves.

and that your breath is short and you
lack ambition. All these things are
symptoms ot an anemic condition, of
tuir blood.
Try building up the blood with Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
Eat nourishing food, exercise a little in
.he open air daily and watch the color
return to cheeks and lips. If you aro

of improvement will be in your appetite.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills tone up the

HOT TEA BREAKS
A COLD—TRY THIS i
Get a small package of Hamburg
j Breast Tea, or as the German folks
i call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at
any pharmacy. Take a table-spoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a teacup full at any time. It is
the most effective way to break a cold
and cure grip, as it opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens
the bowels, thus breaking a cold at
once.
It is inexpensive and entirely vege
table, therefore harmless.
