BETTER THAW CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of D,.
Edwards' determination, not to treat
liver and bowel complaints withcalomeJ.
The pleasant little tablets do the
Rood that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
Tbey 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.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
leeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy"and
"heavy." They "clear" clouded brain
and "perk up" fa spirits.

STATE FIRE DEPT.
The following recommendation and
conclusions are incltiued in a report of
the recent file survey of Mod ford Just
made by the state fire inuishal depart
ment: We recommend that all of the in
dustrial plants using large ciiantitt''S
of water be put on meters. It Is noted
that water is literally wasted In many
places, and that the eftv !t times act
ually suffers for the m.es of It. The
meter system would be only fair, be
cause consumers would then pay for
what they use, and they would not be
extragavant. It would be bound to
effect a great saving of water, and
be a help to the solution of the prob
lem of the wuter shortage.
We recommend that the fire depart
ment bu enlarged b.- the addition of
lour more men. This would make a
department of sufficient size to keep a
working force at all times and allow
firemen to keep up regular inspection
work.
We recommend the purchase of a
triple combination pumper of 1000
gallons capacity. The need for this
piece of equipment is very great. Many
of the best residences of the city are
located on high ground, with small
water mains, with the result that they
have not near adequate protection. In
addition to this, the industrial part oi
the city, consisting of an iron works,
a pre coollng station, two box factories
three saw mills and three large oil sta
tions, approximately a valuation of at
least half a million dollars, ure located
a mile north of the city, with only one
hydrant on the dead end of a long
Much muin to protect them. This
protection Is absolutely inadequate
anil leaves all of this property, which,
means so much to Medford financially
and in a business way, entirely at the
mercy of a fire. There are several
large ponds about the mills, and Bid
lugs could be constructed for the pum
per so it could draw water from the
ponds und would give good protection
to the entire Industrial district.
Medford cannot afford to sacrifice
'any of Its business or Industry, and
owes them the best protection avail
able. Safety from fire to property und
life means more than anything else,
and should come first. The pumper
should bo purchased at the first pos
sible moment.
In addition, wc recommend the pur
chase of tho following minor, equip
ment: One Ilrowdor llfo net folding in
quarters.
One hydrant gate, tee bundle 2V4
inches.
One Uhinchnrd adjustable nozzle.
One set reverse connections 2 Ms
Inch. In conclusion, wo wish to say Med
ford has been particularly fortunate in
Its flro loss, and ns a result the
authorities and citizens arc somewhat
lulled into a falso position of security
from which they may he awakened at
any time by u dlsasturous and costly
conflagration. Too great Mresa can
not ho laid upon the serious condition
confronting tho city.- Fires must he
met with modern equipment and scion
title moans for control if tho fire loss
is to bo kept at a minimum; therefore,
wo hope no time will be lost in heed
ing our recommendations.
Wo wish an expression of our ap
preciation to ho made to tho city offic
ials, the fire chlof, the newspapers and
the Commercial club for their assis
tance In the making of this survey.
and to the people in general Tor their
courtesy and hospitality.

Demand fur farm labor is below
that of last year, according to a re
port on the labor situation, beinK S'.i
per cent of normal in the state, and
7ti per cent of normal in Jackson.
The labor supply exceeds the demand,
due, the report says, to the return
from the shipyards und cities of help
attracted there by war wages. This
year the boys are all home, and work
ing ut whatever farm help they can
get," the report says. The average
wage for farm help per month, with
board is $47, without $70.
The labor report for Jackson coun
ty is as follows:
"Iast year prices were high and the
farmers put in as much crop as they
could. This year prices are lower,
and becoming lower all the time, and
the farmer is inclined to be more eco
nomical. Within a mile of my place
there will he at least a hundred acres
less land in cultivation, than there was
last year. Home of this land will be
pastured and some of it will grow up
to wild oats and be cut for hay."
Regarding the hog industry, the
report says:
"Reports, generally, indicate a de
cline in the hog industry. In the
state the number of brood sows in
April, as compared with a year ago,
ftp pears to be only !)0 per cent, and
as compared with I he usual number,

UMBER IN PEACE

to Seattle to le eneftsed in a great
I'eace 1'ortal being erected across
the i'acitlc Highway at lllaine. Wash.,
on the international boundary be
tween Uanada and the United States
in commemoration of more than 100
years of peace between the two coun
tries. The portal will be dedicated
this summer.
The bit of the Pilgrim ship, n small
piece of oak, was carried to Seattle in
in ancient Kngllsh chest of hand
beaten iron, believed to be il pirate's
gold chest of olden days. The chest
was taken from a Scotland Yard dun
geon and given for the trip by Sir
Alfred Thompson, chief of the yard.
Impressive ceremonies were held at
Hucklughamshire, near London, when
the bit from the boat was cut from
the old hull, which lies upturned on
the banks of t he Thames. Samuel
III11. Seattle, president of the Pacific
Highway association and the leader in
the portal construction movement,
ami Frank Terrace, a Seattle good

wood and were present when it was
taken from the ship.
After the timber was sawed fro.n
the hull, the Knglish Quakers, who
guard the remains, said vhat m. .t r

than sending them- back nnd having
the trouble of sending later many,

"The American troops." she says,

' Why Use an
"IOWA" Cream Separator
Every dairy, large or small, and every farm, even
if it has only one eow, should have a modern 'IOAVA'
Cream Separator to handle the milk profitably.
Cream cannot be. handled quickly-and be kept sani
tary or be sold ivt the highest prices without a Cream
Separator. '.'
The Curved Disc Bowl of the "IOWA"
gets more butterf;t from a given amount of
milk than any other Separator or any other
method. It skims hot or cold, sweet or sour
milk exhaustively. The "IOWA" Avill pay
for itself out of the butterfat it
saves and which is lost through the
poor skinmain of other Separators.
mm
The "IOWA" gds all
the butterfat there is no
loss as in the case wfth any
of the old fashioned meth
ods of separating, and it
eliminates the 1 endless
amount of work with the
cold water or gravity can
systems.
