City Council o. #. Madison Meets
Behind Closed Doors to Dls-
cuss Water Situation.

FIT. MADISON, Nov. 20.-That the
city council will soon be ready to pre-
sent to the citizens some definite
proposition to better the water service
OF the city is the opinion Of those who
nave been following the action Of the
council in this regard for the past
several months. Following the regu-
lar meeting Of the council Monday
night, the members went into inform
al conference with the city attorney.
J. R. Frailey, behind closed doors.
While no definite information could
be obtained regarding the nature OF
the matters informally discussed by
the council members, it is presumed
that they bore upon the water cues.

city water service has been expressed

Engineer M e. Bannon stated in a
previous council meeting that he was
ready to give the council some of the
information 1t had asked about. The
opinion Of the members of the coun-
Gil as expressed at the time was that
the body should make a thorough in
vestigation into the legality of all its
action and canvass the matter com
pletely SO that when it should be
brought up for public action some
thing definite could be done.
1t is presumed that the session
Monday was for that purpose. The
meeting was not considered a council
meeting as all council meetings must
be public according to the statutes,
but was an informal conference with
the city attorney to give the city
councilmen firm ground to tread on
when they are ready for action.

QUIT cALoMEL!
Thousands Are Turning From This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is Olive
Tablets for the Liver.

DR.. F. M. Edwards, prominent
physician of Ohio, has discovered a
new laxative and liver toner in a
combination of vegetable materials,
mixed with olive oil, which Is in eff
feet almost exactly like the old and
untrustworthy calomel. except that
there are none of the bad after eff
fects of calomel.
DIR. Edwards has long been foe of
calomel, though he recognized its
value along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years ago to-
wards experiments with the view of
discovering substitute, and he is to-
day in possession of the long sought
for combination, which is in the shape
of little sugar-coated, olve-oil col
ored tablet
The results OF II years experience
and practice are embodied in these
marvellous little tablets.
They are called DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. They oil the bowels, and
their effect ON the liver has been the
means of relief to many of Dir. Ed
wards regular patients as well as to
thousands of others who have suffer
ed and were afraid of calomel.
They are gentle in their action, yet
always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of harmful impur-
tiles. 1Oc and Csc per box.
