contractor simply forces his ideas

most Of them resent his interference,

gabardine, attached to which are four
small black silk tassels. The hounces
are attached to corbeau charmeuse
and about one inch of this shows be-
tween them. The hounces and the
bottom of the skirt are edged with
black silk braid.
The coat is a combination Of the
gabardine and charmeuse. The front
is Of the charmeuse, which extends
over the shoulders and upper part Of
the back. 1t is gathered in at the
collar.
Carrying out the idea of combining
the two materials, the three-quarter
sleeves of gabardine are topped with
charmeuse. The edges are bound with
fiat silk braid. There is a soft girdle
of gabardine ending in front with an
oval eharmeuse buckle.

The London Times published a spe-

NAL. The following extract shows the
style of this piece OF journalism:
After 100 years of peace the Nor
wegian people are celebrating the cen
tenary of their national Independence
amidst generally propitious circum-
stances. Both at home and abroad the
two main principles of the constitu.
ton have been upheld. A democratic
form Of government and an independ-
ent people have been created, and in
the midst of this work patriotism has
been strengthened and supported in
way that cannot be overestimated, and
to which each national event of later
years-as for instance in 1905, and at
the jubilee of the University in 1911-
has given unqualified expression. The
Industrial awakening which began In
the nineties has been continued. From

See the two doctors! Why is the
old doctor charging the young doctor
with unethical conduct and embezzle-

BETTER THAN CAL0 ME l
11,ousands Have Discovered Dr Edwards Olive Tablets Are
 Harmless Substitute.

pr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substitute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are. the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little oive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches. "dulness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take pr. Ed wards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c per box. The Olive Tablet Company. Columbus, o.

WASHING WON'T RID
 HEAD OF DANDRuFF
Dissolve It.-That's Best Way.

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone. and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- druff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the, scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus- trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 If you want to preserve your hair. do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but 1t makes it stringy, straggly. dull, dry, brit- tie and lifeless, and everyone notices 1t. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
