BETRAYED BY
News of a new wrinkle bolng work
ed by professional bootleggers was
brought to Medford yesterday by
Special Agent Kodgers of the South
ern Pacific railroad, who was In the
city on business. As a result the po
lio of Medford and most other Ore
gon cities will be suspicious of all
men wearing big raincoats or over
coats hereafter.
Last Tuesday a bootleRger from
Hornbrook arrived In Roseburg with
24 bottles of whiskey fitted in pock
ets of a large belt worn around his
waist outside his undercoat. The
belt and contents were concealed by
his largo raincoat.
The man was just beginning to do
a good business when in putting one
of the bottles back into the bolt hur
riedly as an officer turned the cor
ner, he put it in upside down. In a
second or so liquor from the bottle
leaked out and ran down tho outside
of his trousers. The sight and smelt
of. the flowing booio attracted the
attention of the officer who Bearched
the suspected man and discovered
the loaded belt still containing IS
halt pint bottles of whisky. The boot
legger was arrested.
Mrs. L. Mortensen arrived In the
city Thursday to attend the funeral
of Ed Hutchlns whose remains were
brought from Dunsmutr for burial
here. He had an attack of the flu in
the early part of the winter and had
hardly regained' strength enough to
withstand a second attack.
There have been seven cases ot flu
reported this week, two the first part
of the week, two Wednesday, one ot
which was a traveling man who was
sick when he arrived from Klamath
Falls and three yesterday, but two
of these were in a family that had it.
If it begins to increase again, it is
probable that masks will have to be
used again, so it is up to the citizens
to see that every case is reported so
that they can be quarantined.
Attorney Herbert K. Hanna of
Jacksonville, has taken over the of
fice and practice of C. M. Thomas,
until the latter returns from the leg
islative . session. . Senator Thomas
leaves for Portland tonight to attend
the reconstruction and irrigation con
ventions from where he will go to
Salem as the legislature convenes
next Monday for forty days. Mr.
Hanna plans to locate permanently
in Medford when Senator Thomas re
turns from the legislative session.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets are
' a Harmless Substitute.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the substi
tute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to banish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets. 1
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bed after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and ouickly 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 take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets take its place .
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling cono from cciist'pation and
a disordered liver. Toko Dr. Edwardj'
Olive Tablets when you ieel "loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.
