They are the" re sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not s to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the Rood 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 lake 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 "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded Itrain nnd how they "perk up" the spir its. 10c and 25c a box. All druggists. FRIDAY EVENING, HABRISBITRG rflßißfl TELEGRAPH! APRIL 13, 1917. EFFICIENCY MADE EFFECTIVE, SLOGAN High Qualifications Necessary in Christian Endeavor Work Efficiency made effective is one of the latest programs In Christian En deavor work by the societies of the State. Among the qualifications of an effective society are 1 the following: First, High standards of the weekly prayer meeting; second, businesslike administration; third, definite pro gressive efforts; fourth, practical Christian service; fifth, fellowship and support by all societies. Dauphin county, Harrisburg and Cumberland county are doing excel lent work in the C. E. movement and many societies of this section of the State are unanimous for definite ser ivice of the endeavorers during the ! year, which is in harmony with the goals set by the State C. E. Union. Thousands of women and girls are in active service of Christian Endea nor and many of them are holding important offices. Miss A. Elizabeth Eckert of Worm leysburg, one of the livewire vice ' 1 MISS A. ELIZABETH ECKERT I presidents of the West Shore district, j of the Harrisburg C. E. Union, has a record which no doubt is hard to match. She has been a member of I the St. Paul's United Brethren Society during the past twenty years. She has ! been president of this society for thir teen consecutive years. The society has always been foremost in all pro j gressivc work and is constantly in liar | mony with the other fourteen socie j ties of the district. OLD MINE HUNTER PASSES "The prospector doesn't get any encouragement any more." Such was the wail of Charles James, a hunter for mines In every clime under the sun since tjie Civil I war, T2 years old and still going j strong, according to the Spokane Chronicle. His complaint was voiced at the miners' and prospectors' ses sion of the Northwest mining con vention. "I came to Spokane three weeks ago," he declared in explanation. "I had on m yoveralls and my hob nailed boots, and I went Into one of the big office buildings on some busi ness. *' "You take those shoes out of here,' a janitor yelled at me. 'Mis ter,' I said, 'wherever those shoes go I go, too. I took them out, through, but I went with them. "The cops all looked at me as if j I was a criminal. Now my clothes ! were decent, but I decided if I didn't ! want to land in jail I'd better hunt j up my other togs. "There was a time 12 or 15 years I ago when I could get S3OO or S4OO at any bank I ntown any time. But now X couldn't get 15 cents." ! PRODUCE, PRODUCE, PRODUCE | It is a world challenge as we stand jat the threshold of another spring j time. Never before have farmers fac- ! I ed a growing season when their ef- I forts to grow sometnlng to eat seem jed so certain of reward. From Reich stag, Parliament and Congress some warnings that another half-crop will j put whole nations on starvation ra- I tions. From a world viewpoint things are bad enough as they are, but the silver lining is the 1917 harvest. The | genius of those into whose -hands the soil is given is put to the test. How will it be met? Is the work of j the year planned for maximum pro iduction? Will the seed grow? Will it yield heavily? Is the land to be (put in good tilth? Is there power i enough or equipment enough? Is the soil fertility high, or can it be i made so? Are the animals well enough I bred to turn rough feed into maxi mum amounts of meat, milk, wool and | power? Are the wastes stopped, the | inefficiencies corrected ? Is every man at his proper post in the farm or ganization? All that is left is the I weather, and many centuries of work in the open fields have taught the ; farmer how to substitute faith for ; prophecy in that regard, j Surely the world will be fed. And the feeder will be fed. The greatest j year In the history of American agri j tulture may lie before us.—The Breed • i er's Gazette. HELPING GROWING CROPS "Celery, lettuce, chard, corn, toma toes, and a few other vegetables are often benefited by application of food during the growing season. Often times a side dressing of fertilizers of manures is used to hasten the growth of the plants and thus to obtain early maturity. ♦ • • Sometimes dur j ing the development of a crop of vege tables, the gardener notices that the plants are dwarfed, that the color, in stead of being dark green, is light green, or that other indications of checked growth are apparent. At times the difficulty may be traced to disease or insects, at other times to poor soil preparation, lack of culti vation, and sometimes to deficient food supply. In the latter case it is pos sible to overcome the difficulty by ap plying fertilizers or manures as a side dressing."—Albert E. Wilkinson, New York State College of Agriculture, at Corneyy niversity. Vegetable Garden ing Series No. 4. SPREAD MANURE THIN The Ohio Experiment Station has found that four loadH of manure to the acre is more profitable in propor tion than eight. Eight loads of ma nure only increased the yield of grain 66 per cent, over four loads. Where manure is scarce, as it is on most farms, it should be applied lightly and this spring, especially for best results used as a top dressing. Last year Fred Burkey, Portage county, Ohio, top dressed a part of his potatoes at the rate of four loads to the acre and in creased the yield by one-third. Since prices for crops are high It will pay to apply the manure light, which Is the most profitable In the end and supplement It with commercial ferti lizers. Apply the latter through the fertillier attachment of whatever drill is used when the crop Is planted. 1,000 Advanced- C. E. Delegates Registered The general committee of the Twenty - Eighth '-International Christian Endeavor convention to be held in New York city, July 4 to 9, 1917, has not called off the convention due to the present war, according to an unofficial re port, but gives invitations con stantly instead. The latest report sent out says: "Over 1,000 ad vanced registrations have been re ceived Jby the committee in charge. New York has a larger pulling power as a convention city than any other city on the continent. Its hotel facilities are almost un limited. It is a transportation cen ter with summer excursion rates in efTect from most cities. It has unnumbered points of historic, re ligious and general interest." 1 * C. E. Notes Pcnnsy at New York Pennsylvania will shine in July, Penn sylvania will shine, Pennsylvania will shine in July, won't that be fine. Pennsylvania will shine in July, Penn sylvania will shine. When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, Pennsylvania will shine. The following invitation was re ceived by the officers of the United Society of Christian Endeavor prior to the decision of the place of meeting of the International C. E. convention which will be held in New York, July: "The Merchants' Association of New York which is broadly of the civic, industrial, commercial and professional interests of the city, invites you to bring your next con vention to New York, that you may reap the benefits and advantages of meeting in the metropolis, receive its hospitality, and attain a maximum of success and enjoyment. New York of fers you every conceivable facility for your convention, as well as warm hearted hospitality. The convention Bureau of Merchants' Association is organized and maintained expressly for the purpose of assisting and co operating with organizations holding their conventions in New York. Its services are at your command." It was in July, 1892, that a mighty Endeavor host Journeyed New York wards to the eleventh International C. E. convention. The convention of '92 made a profound impression, stirring New York to its depth and caused the city to recognize and appreciate the force of Christian Endeavor. The pro gram for July 4-9 is being prepared with exceptional care and will be as practical as possible. The evening mass meetings will be well provided for with strong speakers. Interde nominational fellowship and interna tional brotherhood will be emphasiz ed. A chorus choir of 2,000 voices will be lead by Homer A. Rodelieaver of Billy Sunday fame. The registration fee is SI.OO, which includes reserved seat, program, song book and badge. Over 1,000 advance registrations have been received by the committee in charge. Miss Esther Prank will have charge of the C. E. services at the Second Reformed Church on Sunday even ing. Tlife oldest Christian Endeavor lo cal union, that of New Haven, Conn., has published a booklet of sugges tions for committees and for current prayer meetings. At the Sixth Street United Brethren Society, C. McCaslin will conduct the service on Sunday evening. The Samoan Endeavorers support a missionary, Mr. Li, the first fruits of whose work is the conversion of thirteen young Chinese men.

As soon as a man could be procured who was willing to climb the steeple, repair work was started. the subject for discussion in next Sun day's C. E. services. A Baptist C.

S. Forces Too Lightly By .hsociatfd Frets Amsterdam, via Ixmdon, April 13. Captain Perslus t writing In the Berlin Tageblatt, criticises those who treat America's entry into the war lightly. "It would be a fatal mistake," he said, "to regard America's economic strength as the only important factor for an enemy. The military strength of the United States Is not to be met with a shrug of the shoulders, otherwise we shall make the same mistake as we did about the military strength of the British." LODGE GRANTED INJUNCTION Members of Dodge San Michelo di Sanastretta, of Steelton, yesterday were granted a preliminary injunction by the Dauphin county court against officials of the organization to pre vent them from transacting business of the society. The trouble started last fall when a vote was taken to sever the Steelton lodge from the na tional organization of Sons of Italy. This did not carry.
