Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
are aHarmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards* Olive Tablets—the- sub
stitute for calomel—are a mill bat sore
laxative, and. their effect on the fiver ia
almost instantaneous. They are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards s determination not
to treat Ever and bowel complaintymth
cakjraeL His efforts to banish it brought
cot these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe 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. Sodo 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
"heavy." Note how they "clear"clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

CONGRESS MUST
PROVIDE 5 BILLION
[Continued from First Page.]
Of the $12,316,000,000 estimated ordi
nary expenditures for the year end
ing next June 30, $11,527,000,000 is for
war purposes, and the proportion is
about the same for the fiscal year
ending in 1919.
x lla Hornc llurden Well
So far the nation has borne the
financial burdens of the war well,
says Secretary McAdoo, owing to the
healthy business condition and the
valuable aid of the established Fed
eral BeserVe- System. In the # future,
however, increasingly greater habits
of economy must be developed by in
dividuals and business institutions,
the Secretary declares, and "business
as usual" cannot be adopted as the
guiding principle of the war. Peo
ple must save and invest in govern
ment securities to avoid postponing
victory.
With this admonition. Mr. McAdoo
proceeds to cite the enormous figures
of Government receipts and expendi
tures which are the fruit of wartime.
Total estimated' receipts for the
toUtfUSBURQ Q$SRb telegraph;
aurrent fiscal year are $12,580,7113,800,
which, with a balance In the Treas
ury last June of 11,008,913,881, makes
a total of $10,847,718,181; Most ot
the receipts, or $8,880,000.0Q0, are
from nale of' bonds and war savings
Oertlflcatesi ordinary receipts are
$8,888,000,000, large from war taxes;
and the Panama Canal Income Is $7,-
000,000.
Ordinary disbursements are esti
mated at $13,818,200,223 loans to al
lies In the year at $8,115,000,000; pub
lic dobt disbursements at $321,000,-
000; and Panama Canal expenses,
$2:1.593,000; malclng total estimated
disbursements $18,776,919,905.
In order to allow for a balance In
the general fund of about $600,000,000
next June 80. Congress must author
ize raising of about $5,640,000,000 ad
ditional funds. This llgure, together
with the $8,666,000,000 of authorised
but' unissued Liberty bonds and $663.-
000,000 estimated receipts from war
savings, make the $9,969,000,000 which
Mr. McAdoo believes Americans must
lonn the Government between now
and Juno 30, 181$.

"What is of superlative Importance
In the readjustment that must take
place Is that our people shall be Im
pressed with the necessity of econo
mising In the oonsumptlon of articles
of clothing, food and fuel, and of
every other thing which constitutes
a drain upon the available supplies,
materials and resources of the coun
try. Everything wasted now is little
short of criminal.
"Ho far as f have been able to ob
serve, the American people are not
sufficiently aroused to the necessity
of economy and of saving in this
really serious time, not only In the
life of America, but of the nations of
tho world. Up to the present there
has been a relatively small denial ot
pleasures, comforts and conveniences
on the part of the average citizen.
He Is drawing upon the general store
of supplies In the country with al
most the same freedom as before
America came into the war. This
cannot continue without serious hurt
to the nation and to the world. The
great financial operations of the Gov
ernment cannot be carried forward
successfully unless the people of the
United Htates economize In every pos
sible direction, save their, money and
lend it to the Government.
"It Is easy to visualize the course
of a dollar saved from waste and In
vested In Government bonds; First
It goes to the Government as a loan
for the war) second, It Is expended
by the Government for food, cloth
ing and ammunition which go direct
ly to a gallant soldier or sailor whose
lighting strength is kept up by the
tood, whose body -Is kept warm by
the clothing, and whose enemy is
hit by the ammunition. It has not
been expended in the purchase of
needless food and clothing for the
man at home, and Is, therefore, re
leased for the use of the soldier; it
is saved wealth to the men at home
and can be loaned to his Government
at interest, #ith resulting benefit to
himself and to his Government."
Nliould Hold tlondo '
Secretary McAdoo denounced pur
chasers of Liberty bonds who sell
their bonds when they do not impera
tively need money .
"It is by actually lending money to
DECEMBER 5, 1917,
the Government and not by merely
promising- It and shifting the load to
some one else," he said, "that the cit
izen really helps in this great tl>.".
He added, however, that ho did not
mean to discourage legitimate trad
ing In Government securities.
Mr. McAdoo expressed the hope that
additional funds to be raised during
the balance of the year be by bond
Issues rather than by taxation, say
ing:
"It Is my earnest conviction that
the general economy of tho country
should be permitted to readjust Itself
to the new revenue laws before con
sideration should be given to the Im
position of additional tax burdens."
Of the possibility that interest
rates on future Liberty bond issues
might be raised, the Secretary said:
"If a situation should develop
where the Government could not sell
convertible and partly tax-exempt
bonds upon a 4 per cent, basis, it
would, I believe, become necessary to
seriously consider further revenue
legislation. In my judgment an in
crease in the rate of interest of such
bonds would be extremely unwise and
hurtful." •
