Vienna Dec. 4 (Delayed) .—Allied
detachments are sorely needed in the
eastern portions of the former Austrian
empire where the various populations
are engaged in a futile struggle which
is costing human lives for the posses-
sion of towns and countrysides in
the areas of debatable nationality.
There was a typical useless affray yes-
terday close to Marchegg near Press-
burg. The Czechs occupied the bridge
over the March and the Hungarians at-
tacked them. A train happened to ar-
rive with returning detachments from
Mackenzen’s army who joined the Hun-
garians using machine guns and hand
grenades. From Marchegg a detach-
ment of Germans and Austrian troops
hurried up.
They also joined the Hungarians and
forced the Czechs to retire.
All this bloodshed would have been
stopped by the-pres nee of a few allied
soldiers probably. Tile ancient kingdom
of Poland is at the mercy of the Ruth-
enians who are contemplating new mili-
tary action for the encircling and starv-

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION -

That i< the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards a practicing physician
for 17 years and calomels old-time
enemy discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel but a healing soothing
vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote of these
little sugar-coated olive-colored tab-
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth —a
bad breath—a dull tired feeling—sick
headache—torpid liver and are consti-
pated you’ll find quick sure and only
pleasant results from one or two little

has arisen a crate for autodeteruiina-

where that they are "speech islands’’
that is they have a different tongue

they must have new sell governing iu-

"speech islands" are appearing every-
where. These maps are being prepared
in great numbers aud the peace con-
ference will be deep with them.
Meantime the d border aud disarray
are inconceivable. Those who are trying
to wind up the Austrian empire so that
a new republic may be made or at least
know where it begins and what it own-

SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY
THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost
More Lives That American
Loss In Battle—Danger
Not Over—Great Care
Necessary to Prevent
Further Outbreak.
The appalling ravages of Spanish
Influenza in this country are per-
haps best realized by the statement
recently made that more deaths
have resulted in little more than a
month from this disease than
through our whole eighteen months
participation in the battles of the
European War.
Our greatest danger now de-
clare authorities is the great
American tendency to forget easily
and to believe the peril is over.
Competent authorities claim the
coming of cold weather is very
apt to bring a return of this dis-
ease and there should be no let-up
throughout the winter months of
the following easily observed pre-
cautions remembering that Influ-
enza is far easier to prevent than
cure.
Influenza is a crowd disease.
Avoid crowds as much as possible.
Influenza germs spread when ig-
norant or careless persons sneeze
or cough without using a handker-
chief. Cover up each cough or
sneeze. Do not spit on the floor
sidewalk in street cars or public
places. Avoid the use of common
drinking cups and roller towels in
public places. Breathe some relia-
ble germicidal and antiseptic air
to destroy the germs that do find
lodgement in your nose and throat.
Remember no safer precaution
against Influenza . could be em-
ployed in this manner than to get
from the nearest drug store a
complete Hyomei Outfit consisting
of a bottle of the Pure oil of
Hyomei and a little vest-pocket
hard rubber inhaling device into
which a few drops -of the oil are
poured. Yon should carry this
Inhaler about with you during the
day and each half hour or so put
it in your mouth and draw deep
breaths of its pure healing germ
killing air into the passages of
your nose throat and lungs.
By destroying germs before they
actually begin work in your blood
you may make yourself practically
immune to infection.
All these suggestions about
Spanish Influenza are equally true
in the prevention of colds catarrh
of nose and throat bronchitis and
even pneumonia. Don’t become
careless. Do your part. Keep the
germs away. You may save your-
self a serious illness and the loss
of several weeks’ work. A. M.
Fischer.

THINKS HEALTH OF
WORKER DEPENDS ON
WAGE HE RECEIVES
By the Associated Press.
Chicago Dec. 9.—Good wages gener-
ally mean good health according to Ar-
thur E Holder member of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education. The
higher the wages the better would be
the health of the employe nnd the great-
er his output he told the American
Public Health Association today in an
address in which he advocated an eight
hour day and increased wages.
Mr. Holder proposed that the federal
health agencies be concentrated into one
department with a secretary nt its hand
and that the secretary should be a mem
ber of the President's cabinet.
Panics said Mr. Holder were brought
about more by inequitable distribution
of wealth than by any other cause. He
quoted statistics to show that in 1850
the wage earner obtained 23 1-4 cents
of every dollar's worth of value he cre-
ated. but that iu 1910 ho got only 16 1-2
cents. He added:
"Formerly when the laborer got 23
cents in wages for each dollar of bis
product panics occurred about once in
twenty years as witness 1837 1857.
1877. Since real wages shrunk to 16
cents on the dollar panics roll around
more frequently as the record shows:
1884. 1894 l'.K>7. 1914.
"Nothing influences our individual
health more than severe changes in our
economic life. During busy periods
workers realize that health is their cap-
During panicky periods the workers
and employers spend n large part of
their energy in fretting their lives
away.”
"Since the union cigarmakers adopted
the eight-hour day in 1886 from 12
to 15 years have been added to the av-
erage life of the cigarmakers" he added.
"Similar experiences have been recorded
by other organized wage earners. The
workers realize that health is their cap-
ital. To keep health or improve health
means increased power to produce.”
The speaker then gave a labor pro-
gram for health and safety which in-
cluded the follow ing provisions:
"Continued agitation for a shorter
work day to a maximum of eight hours
for all manual toilers: demand for t
higher minimum wage for nil labor; re-
lease from work at least oue full Ray in
seven: elimination of the sweat-shop
system: enforcement of rigid child labor
laws; abolition of night work by women
and minors: equal pay for equal work
regardless of sex.”
POLICE-COURT BUSY
Locked Like .Old Times Monday With
-Many Cases Up.
The corporation court Monday morn-
ing resembled the old-time police court.
For the first time in many months the
prisoners' corral was crowded the
court room itself being well filled with
defendants out on bond witnesses aud
spectators.
The docket contained the names of
73 persons as a result of arrests Satur-
day and Sunday. Forty-three of those
arrested were tried the fines aggregat-
ing $660. the largest amount in many
weeks. The charges were varied ami
contained the old-time cases of drunks
affrays disturbances of the peace etc.
in a considerable number. Si any were
charged with traffic- violations and fin-
ed from $5 to $l5. Those charged with
having violated viee regulations were
assessed the heavy penalties. But few
cases were dismissed those not going
to trial being continued to some future
date either by request of the defense
or the prosecution.
“Suicide by Inches”
Thousands of people commit
suicide by inches!
If one shotild take minute daily
doses of some irritant or poisonous
drug no particular effect might be
noticed until accumulation of the poi-
son made its action evident.
Yet how many realize that irritant
and poisonous substances are formed
constantly even in health during food
digestion and the preparation of its
waste for elimination?
If the bowels act regularly and thor-
oughly such dangerous matter is
safely gotten rid of.
But if constipation exists there
results stagnation of intestinal waste
increased production of poisonous
substances and their absorption in-
to the blood which carries them all
over the body.
The result is disease or disorder
which if neglected or allowed to
continue cripples or kills.
The victim of such self-poison-
ing commits suicide by inches.
Constipation is a bad habit It is
a sin against the body.
But there is an even worse habit
a crime against Nature the taking
of pills castor oil laxative mineral
waters and salts to “force the bow-
