PARIS, January 24—The contro- versy between Great Britain and France concerning the operation of the rallroads in the Rhineland ap-, pears to be reaching an acute stage. The British complain that the French and the Belgians are operat- ing the lines of the raillway adminis- tration in a manner which leaves Cologne practically Isolated and does not permit of the necessary traffic for provisioning the British area of oc- cupation. The French reply that if traffic to Cologne is restricted it is because the British will not recelve trains of the rallwsy administration. The French and Belgians point out that they have nothing but trains of the administration to send to Cologne and that if the British are not willing to have them operate on the lines in the British area the fault s entirely with the British.

Avicsas e, Moo Better Than Calomei 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 Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat fiver and bowel complalnts with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the testh like strong llquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly ecorrect 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.
