by President Wilson by a simple ex
eeittive order. It is no! necessary
to wait for congress, r'n'od pur
chases are within the nulhoiiiv of
the president as n war cxcnsc, anil
such nil order would bo hacked bv
I he seven billions w hich congress is
now making ttvailablc.
To be of any help, the ovorn-
nient s otter lo underwrite Ibis year's
clops must. i,e made before tlio seed-
ini; time is uone. This means that it
must be made within the next thirty-
five days. Handled lis an executive
matter, an incident lo the war-mak-injr
power, this can be done. To wail
for congress would probably be fatal.
lrvslilonc Ha Power.
High jrovernnient officials lo whom
I have talked say there is no nucstion
as lo President Wilson's power lo
make this order. To buv the surplus
crop or lo offer lo buv it is just
as necessary now as lo buy powder
or shot.
"The government would not, ns n
matter of fact, have to lake over any
of the crops," one official explained.
"It amounts in fact only to insur
ance, and like most insurance, the
loss does not have to be met. Yet it
would furnish a security and an in
ecniivi lo'tbe farmer Hint would
make him bring into use every road
side, every railroad right of way ami
every vacant lot."

That the board of trade in Chicago
should be closed is tlio recommenda
tion of M. A. Taylor, president of
the Livestock Kxehange National
bank of Chicago. To the advisory
board of the National Agricultural
society he has urged that in addition
to fixing a minimum price for 11117
crops the government stop all specu
lation in food.
The agricultural department learns
that egvs are now gxur.g into cold

The council voted to pnv $71 back

It seems, there was a misunder

Howland us lo the city's and busi

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Get at
the Cause and Remove It
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
Dr. Kdwards' Olive Tablets act gen
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
griping cathartics are derived from Dr.
Kdwards' Olive Tablets without grip
ing, pain or any disagreeable effects.
Dr. 1 M. Kdwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint with the attendant
bad breath.
Dr. Kdwards Olive Tablets are pure
ly a 'vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil : you will know them by their
olive color. Take one or two every
night for a week and note th effect.
