QUICK ffiEf Ml CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomers old-time enemy, 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, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the "keynote" of these little sugar coated, olive-colored tab lets. They cause the bowels .md liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a "dark brown mouth"—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and are consti pated, 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 every night just to keep right. Try them. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

BRITISH HOLD LINE AS GERMANS STORM [Continued from First Page.] where the French have been making such a gallant stand. The outstand ing feature of the conflict on the northern end of the front is that the British have killed a great number of the enemy. To-day the British initiated a for ward movement about Feuchy Copse east of Arras. They launched a local attack at 3 o'clock this morning and pressed it so vigorously that they re claimed a stretch of territory 1,500 yards long and averaging about 200 yards in depth. This success had tac tical advantages hut they were small compared with the fact that the British were able, after the past ten days' of gruelling work to undertake an offensive operation. South of the Somme, where there has been so much hard fighting, the British appear to hava the situation well in hand and the town hall of Moreuil, about which sanguinary struggles have been swaying, was at last reports still flying tho British flag defiantly from the steeple. One of the most costly attacks the enemy attempted yesterday was between Morlancourt and the Somme, where a heavy assault was made against the Australians shortly after noon. The attackers came forward in masses and the British threw themselves against the advancing lines so fierce ly that the Germans were hurled back, leaving 3,000 dead. The British operations at I.assigny farm, south of Hebuterne, between Albert and Arras, yesterday after noon which resulted in straightening the defending line, was a brilliant success. The Germans were pushed back with heavy casualties and Brit ish troops returned with 200 prison ers, 40 machine guns and a trench mortar. Two Attacks Smashed South of Arras the enemy made two attacks yesterday. One was near Hamelincourt, astride the Arras- Bapaume railway while the other was north of Boisleux St. Mare. Both of these efforts were smashed, al though hard fighting centered around Boisleux. In this operation the Ger mans advanced in great numbers after an intense bombardment of the British lines for two hours. At three places the enemy succeeded in pene trating the defenses and a bitter hand-to-hand struggle ensued. The British made such strenuous resist ance that the Germans were thrown back, leaving numbers of dead. Northeast of Arras the Germans made a slight attack Saturday after | a heavy bombardment and pushed j forward over a tiny strip of ground. The result of the lighting on the I British lront south of the Somme I during the past two days have been j satisfactory. Heavy Gertnan attacks on both sides of the Luce river forced the British to fall back somewhat. Friday night the enemy pushed for ward and penetrated a large wood northeast of Moreuil. Saturday the British sent out cavalry which swept through the forest and forced the enemy to fall back, not only here but further to the north. Huns Suffer Heavy Loss North of the Luce the enemy yes terday morning attacked in "force along the British line between War fusee and Marceleave. This assault was preceded by a vigorous artillery bombardment. The cavalry again caine into play and by 10 o'clock the Germans were compelled to retire with heavy casualties. Subsequently the enemy again put down a tremendous barrage between AVatfusee and the Somme and after two hours of terrific gun lire advanc ed in masses. Then came again more cavalry and met a similar fate, the British line remaining intact. North of Aubercourt. south of Mar celeave the British recaptured im portant high ground. It is now possible to tell of a spec tacular feature of a brilliant British defense last week below the Somme. In this gallant force were included American railway engineers, who as in the battle of Cambrai last Novem ber, threw aside their tools and took up arms in defense of the allied col ors. It was last Tuesday afternoon at a critical moment when it was ab solutely necessary, that more troops should be thrpwn into the British line to hold the onrush of Germans. Reinforcements were on the way but could not arrive in time. A certain general immediately organized a force collected from the various units nearby, in which were the Ameri cans. Fifteen hundred were strung over a front of 1,200 yards against which hordes of Germans were being flung. It seems almost inconceivable that these defenders could have been able to hold that long sector, but they did. The enemy advanced in force but the gallant defenders clung on for many hours until the regulars arrived. This incident is more spectacular, but hardly finer in spirit than that of seven British soldiers who had been home engaged on leave and on landing at a channel port in France could find no transportation to the front. They tramped virtually all the way to the battlelines to take their places beside their hard pressed comrades. Enterprising New Town Springs Up in Mifflin Co.

Twelve o'clock Saturday night marked the end of liquor-selling as a legalized business in Perry county. At that time fifteen Perry county bars closed their doors for at least one year. Legally their licenses were good until 12 p. m. March 31, but inasmuch as the last day fell on Sun day, the business came to an end one i day before the licenses expired. The grand finale was experienced with less noise and general mischief than had been expected. Street singing in each of the ten towns losing their licenses was the chief cause of disturbance. No serious dis order was reported. At Marysfrille G. W. Rhoads. pro prietor of the Central Hotel, re moved from the building. There a i large number of beer kegs were taken to outyards. where they were secured by some of the vacehanalian knights and distributed promiscu ously through some of the principal streets of town. Several places of business were piled high with these kegs, decorated with demijohns and beer signs secured at the Rhoads Hotel More "drunks'' than usual were reported In all towns. Fiften licenses expired in ten towns. They were those of: McClellan Cox, Hotel Dimm, Blain. 11. P. Rhinesmith, Hotel Rhine smith, Xow RloomtielU. Mrs. Martha Harmon, Mansion House. New Bloomfield. Oran F. Stouffer, Union Hotel, Shermansdale, Caroll township. Daniel W. Bell, Hotel Laird, Dun cannon. Samuel E. Mayne, Hotel Johnston Duncannon. Clares O. Mitchell. Ownes House, Liverpool. Blanton F. Blattenberger, Com mercial Hotel. Liverpool. George W. Rhoads, Central Hotel. Marysville. William E. Dressier, National Hotel, Millerstown. Peter R. Shenk, Ward House, Mil lerstown. Charles J. Reeder, Mingle House, Newport. Paul It. Flurie, National Hotel, Newport. Howard A. Keim, Sherman's Val ley House, New Germantown, To bovne township. David C. Nary, Colonial Hotel. Elliottsburg, Spring township. John G. Hench, of Elliottsburg, was the applicant for the Cox li cense for Hotel Dimm, of Blain, and William S. McKay, of Harrisburg, for tlie Rhoads license for Central Hotel, Marysville, at the license court. The fight against liquor in Perry county has been long and-hard. Some thirty years ago, when local option existed in Pennsylvania, Perry coun ty was dry for several years. Again, at the license court of March, 1915, no licenses were granted. At that time President Judge William N. Seibert and Associate Judge S. E. Bernheisel were sitting. The other associate, L. C. Wox, of Marysville, was confined to his bed through ill ness, which resulted fatally for him. Judge Seibert wished to grant no licenses,' while Bernheisel wished to grant all. With this division, no li censes were granted and the matter was taken to the Superior Court at Pittsburgh, where the action of the court was held to be illegal. The matter w'as brought back to Perry county court, where ten licenses were then granted. The following year Dr. W. A. Meiser. of Newport, became associ ate judge. He. together with Asso ciate Rernheisel, at the license courts of 1916 and 1917, overruled Presi dent Judge Seibert and granted five licenses that Seibert did not wish. This year George E. Royer, of Duncannon, a "dry" associate, as cended the bench, succeeding Bern heisel. This aroused the hopes of "drys," who proceeded to get a vig orous campaign under way. Then President Judge Seibert died. The "drys" were somewhat downcast, but they continued their campaign. Then Jeremiah E. Keller, of Mifflintown, was appointed president judge. He was a known "dry" man. When license court opened on March 6. such an array of evidence was presented against numerous saloons in the county that it seemed certain that almost all. if not all, li censes would be refused. On March 7 tlje court adjourned until Satur day, March 10. On that morning court assembled and President Judge Keller announced that all li censes were refused. No opinion was handed down by the court, so there is no basis of appeal for the "wets." Consequently, Perry county will be dry for at least this year, there being no opportunity to bring back the saloon as there' was in 1915. Perry county was the fourteenth county in the state to go dry. Since then another county, "Warren, has been added to the list. The addition of Perry county to the dry list furnishes a string of five dry counties In Central Pennsylva nia. Bedford, Huntingdon and Mif flin county, all of the same district, have been dry for approximately five years, while Juniata of the Jun iata-Perry district, has been dry for four years. With the addition of Perry county to the dry list, there is no licensed bar between Tyrone and Harrisburg. SCIIAEFFKR-GRIEBT WEDDIXG Marietta, Pa.. April 1. —Miss Lena C.
