Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomels 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 and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action.

KEYSTONE STATE OFFICER CAUGHT IN A GAS ATTACK Tells of Hun Bombarding: Penna. Soldiers on Firing Line For Five Days Philadelphia, Oct. 9.—There are no quiet days on the American front, as the experiences of the One Hun dred Eleventh and One Hundred Twelfth Regiments of Infantry, com posed of up-state and Philadelphia boys, show. These units relieved the One Hundred Ninth and One Hun dred Tenth Regiments in the early part of August, and none but the finest type of men could have with stood what they did during the time they were in the front-line trenches. How the Huns ' strafed" these two regiments is told in a letter from Lieutenant Theodore W. Easton, of I the One Hundred Eighth Machine Gun Battalion, supporting the Infan try in the front line, to his parents in Norristown. "Don't be worried when you see my hospital address." he writes. "We were at the front for five days and nights, working like blue blazes, with very little sleep or food, and I tell you we were mighty worn out. "Last Monday morning (August 12), we put down three barrages, and I am told were doing lots of execu tion. Some enemy planes came over our way and spied • us. In a few minutes the Boche artillery began to open up on us hot and heavy. "I was in the entrance of my dug out when a shell hit us square. My sergeant and runner were inside, and ifr got both the poor fellows. I was buried in the debris, and, of course, knocked out. They got me out and I came to an hour later. I was ex tremely nervous and shell-shocked. "While I was at the dressing sta tion, unconscious, the Germans sent over some gas, and before they could get my gas mask adjusted I got a little of it. I hope to be at them soon again, though the doctors say not for six months." Lieutenant Easton attended the Pennsylvania Sta£e College and was commissioned at Fort Niagara. Many men from the One Hundred Eleventh and One Hundred Twelfth Regiments continue to be Included in the casualty reports. Lieutenant Marcel van Bereghy, of Lebanon, of the One Hundred Eleventh Infan try, died of wounds. JPrlvites Ed ward O'Laughlin and Jeremiah Zerbe, both of that city, were killed in action. Private George K. Roden baugh, of the One Hundred Eleventh Infantry, whose home is in Consho hocken, is severely wounded. Light Frost Nips War Gardens This Morning Father Harris rolled out of bed this morning to find his pump kin and bean vines nipped a trifle by two nights of heavy frost—the first of the season. Both mornings the temperature slid down to a depth of 9 degrees. However, lo cal war gardeners can find comfort in Forecaster E. R. Demain's state ment that to-night there will be a return of warmth. Cloudiness is predicted for this afternoon but to-morrow the sun is going to shine in a perfect blue sky, says the forecaster. However, fall is officially registered in Har risburg. Evidence of this is pro duced in showing that roasted chestnuts are now on sale along the streets.

In company with the French they captured the vil lages of Consenvoye, Brabant, Bau- | mont and Beaumont. They drove the enemy well beyond these towns and are pushing the enemy north ward in a desperate fight. In the day's operation more than 3,000 prisoners were taken, of whom 1,600 were captured by the French east of the Meuse. During the past few days over 4,000 prisoners and eighteen heavy mortars have been captured by the French. In the operations yesterday be- Itween St. Etienne and Orfeuil, I American units captured 400 prison ers and four Austrian field guns, i There was fierce fighting in this area, jjhe Germans using machine guns and a few light lield pieces. French and Americans hold St. Etienne and the Germans finally withdrew to the northward. The Germans attempted a counter attack at noon. The troops concen trated in the region of Machault in i great force but were repulsed by the French and American heavy guns. The Germans later made a vain at tempt to reach the ravines south of Machault. Observers reported that the allied artillery fire caused disor der among the enemy forces which, at last accounts, were withdrawing, leaving rear guards to cover their retirement. There was an intermittent bom bardment of Somme-py, as well as cross roads and areas back of the Allied lines to-day. EST LESS MEAT IF BSCKHURTS Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if bladder bothers you. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they be come overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of dis tress, particularly backache and i misery in the kidney region; rheu matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri nary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for gen erations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ ity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.
