Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver
with Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the
successful substitute for calomel; there's
no sickness or pain after taking them.
Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just as effec-
tively, but their action is gentle and
safe instead of severe and irritating.
No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with a "dark brown taste,”
a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no good”
feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad
dispositign or pimply face.
Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you will
know them by their olive color.
Dr. Edwards spent years among pa

immensely effective result. Take one 0:

Already there have been some volun-

young ladles of Austin interested In
the Red Cross campaign now going on
for renewals of membership to the
local chapter and soliciting new names,
and these ladles have expressed a de-
sire to respond to the call to work
either Friday or Saturday.
It is hoped by the Hed Cross workers
that other ladies will respond in suffi-
cient time to be assigned to the places
where it is thought wise to have solici-
tations made Friday and Saturday.
Them? locations are all comfortable and
prominent places, it is stated, and the
personal work a number of ladies may
do in just two days will be materiel,
as has been proven in the past and
as was proven at the beginning of this
campaign two weeks ago, when a num-
ber of ladies took an active part in the
work. The weather being splendid at
present, Red Cross headquarters ex-
presses the belief that a sufficient
number of volunteers will telephone in
their names Thursday. All who will
volunteer are asked to telephone the
Chamber of Commerce or Red Cross

Meetings of the State Bank Associa-
tion of Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas
and the bankers of the etton produc-
ing counties of Missouri have acted
favorably on the proposition, and the
banks of New Orleans already have
subscribed to $1,000,000 of the capital
stock, about 5 per cent of the capital
and surplus of all the banks in the
city.
Encouraging reports are being re-
ceived from all sections of Texas. The

86,000,000 capitalization upon which it
has been decided to begin business will
have been subscribed. At a meeting
of the senior officers and directors of
the banks of Atlanta, Ga., which was
addressed by Senator Hoke Smith,
Governor M. B. Wellborn of the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank; Robert F Maddox,
president of the Atlanta National Bank,
and others, the corporation was unani-
mously endorsed, and meetings of the
board of directors of every bank in At-
lanta have been called for the purpose
of voting formally to subscribe 3 per
cent of the capital and surplus of each
bank to the capital stock. It is as-

VIENNA, Oct. 2»—(By mall).—One !
of the financial paradoxes of central
Europe has been a boom this autumn
on the Vienna stock exchange. Specu- |
lotion has been on a tremendous scale,
and stock prices have risen by leaps
and bounds. Advances of several hun- ;
dred points In a single stock occurred
in one day's trading. Lucky specula-
tors made millions of kronen from a
shoestring investment.
But Austrians all speak of this boom
as the “misery boom," for its basis is
the unfavorable state of the kronen
exchange, and the rise in prices was I
a measure of the depressed economic
state of the country.
The "misery boom" on the block ex-
change was aceompanied by conditions
of destitution in the city and country
which are unprecedented at that sea- ;
son of the year.
It is hard even for the people of
Vienna to realize their plight and to
picture what the winter has in store
for them The American visitor, par-
ticularly if he is armed with dollars, .
finds an air of surface prosperity about,
the city. But those who looked be- J
yond the merely superficial learned
that the “misery boom" on the stock
exchange was merely a gay trapping
behind which stalked a gaunt skeleton.
