QUIT CAL0MEL!
Thousands Are Turning From This
Dangerous Drug
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is olive
Tablets for the Liver

DR.. #. M. Edwards, a prominent
physician of Portsmouth, Ohio, has
discovered a new laxative and liver
toner In a combination of vegetable
materials, mixed with olive oil, which
is In effect almost exactly like the old
and untrustworthy calomel except
that there are none of the bad after
effects of calomel.
DR.. Edwards has long been a foe
of calomel, though he recognized its
value along with its dangers.
tah His distrust in the uncertain
drug eventually started him years ago
4 towards experiments with the view
OF discovering substitute, and he is
Z today In possession Of the long
sought-for combination, which is in
the shape of little sugar coated,
olive colored tablet.
The result of fifteen years ex-
perience and practice are embodied
In tese marvellous little tablets.
They are called DR.. Edwards olive
Tablets, and their effect on the liver
has been the relief to many of DR.,
Edwards regular patients as we'll as
thousands of others who have suf.
fered and were afraid of calomel.
/. They are gentle in their action
\ yet always effective They bring
about that exhuberance of spirit,
that natural buoyance which should
s-be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up
the liver and clearing the system OF
harmful impurities.
Every little Olive Tablet has a
movement all Its own"

Yuan's Harsh Discipline.

Although China has become repub-
lie, the views of the sanctity Of human
life that prevail in western countries
are not yet established in that over
crowded land. This story of Yuan
Shi Kai, the newly installed president,
is declared by Everybody's Weekly to
be characteristic of the immediate
past of that statesman-and SO pre-
sumably of the present.
Yuan began to create an army on
the European model. His discipline
was exceedingly severe. There was
only one form of punishment in the
new army-death. On one occasion
an English official, an old acquaint-
ance, visited him, and Yuan held a
special review in his honor.
The viceroy noticed that soldier
failed to salute the English guest. He
called for the mans officer.
Have that soldier .beheaded at
once!" he CURLY commanded.
The English guest, Mortified, pro-
tested.
1T is absurd" he said, ito cut of
a mans head because he omitted to
salute me-
"Please do not interfere" said
Yuan. II know the men I have to
deal with. I know what I must do
with them to get them into shape.
You do not" The mans head came
off.-Youth's Companion.
