QUIT CALOMEL!
Thousands Are Turning from This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute Is Olive
Tablets for the Liver.

nr. f, NJ. Edwards. prominent
physician of Portsmouth, Ohio, has
discovered d 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 Gallo
mel except that theirs are none OF
the bad effects of calomel.
n. Edwards has long been a foe
of calomel, though he recognized its
value along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years age
towards experiments with the view
Of discovering a substitute, and he
is today in possession of ths long
sousht-for combination, which il
in the shape Of a little sugar-coated
oliye-oil colored tablet.
The results of fifteen years ex.
perience and practice are embodied
in these marvellous little tablets.
They are called Dr. Edwards
OilFe labletS, and their effect OF
the liver has been the means of re.
lief to many of DR.. Edwards regu.
lar patients as we'll as to thousand,

They are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They brina

natural buoyancy which should be
enjoyed by everyone. by toning ur

harmful impurities.

GEORGE STONE
ON JOB WHEN
BREWERS CONE
Perennial Holdout Beats Teammates
to Cairo, After Coming to
Terms With Club

The best piece Of news that greet
Yesterday afternoon was the sight Cf
George Stone, the perennial holdout.
Stone appeared about noon, via the
Illinois Central, beating the rest Of
the bunch in by more than an hour,
Stone informed Manager Duffy
and President Havenor, week ago,
that he would not be with the team
unless his terms were met, Whether
the Coridge Sartorial expert and
ranchman, got what he went after
or whether he came to the terms Of
fered by the club could not be learn
ed Manager Duffy declared that
everyth 'ng was fine and Stone had
signed up.
Men Look Good.
The Brewers look TO be in gOof
shape, but need considerable train
ing down Most of them look a lit
tie soft from the six months rest
but two week workout will take
most of that out
Duffy had intended taking his
charges to Bridgeview park during
the afternoon, but the train being
late he decided to let them off for
the day.
The players spent the afternoon
incoming about the Halliday hotel
park, Most of the men sat about and
watched the steamboats, pass up and
down the stream.
Men See Town
firing of this the men scattered
about the town and visited different
places.
One thing that must be said for the
Brewers, is that they steered clear
of the places where they serve the
cheering brew that givs them their
name. Perhaps it was because the
training season is starting and Sec
rotary Nahin is holding onto tho
money bag too tinghtly, and maybe
it is because everyone wants to hold
onto his job.
Duffy has light looking bunch
on which to work The men are all
fairly light, with the exception OF
Stone and a few others and no opin-
ion can be expressed until they have
worked out few days.
Old Timers Look Good
Old Tom Jones, former Brown and
Detroit first baseman, looks the Tom
of old Whether some youngster
will beat old Tom out or not remains
to be seen Tom has habit Of GO
ing along and having some young
ster come up and being touted TO
beat him, but, when the season
starts, Tom is there with the bells
on and in every game.
