Don't Trust CalOmel
Thousands Experience Bad Af- ter Effects From This
 Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute is pr. Ed
 wards Olive Tablets for the Liver

Dr. F. M. Edwards. 9 prominent physician of Ohio, has discovered a. laxative and liver toner in conabina- ton of vegetable materials mixed with olive oil, which is in effect almost ex- actIy like calomel, except that there are none of the bad after effects.
 Dr. Edwards has long been a foe of calomel, though he recognized its val ue along with it's dangers.
 His distrust of the uncertain drug eventually started him, years ago, to- wards experiments with the view of discovering a substitute and he has been for several years in possession of the long-sought-for combination, which is in the shape of a little sugar coated, o1ive-cOlored tablet.
 The results of IT years experience and practice are embodied in these marvellous little tablets.
 They are called Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. And their effect on the Iiv- CT has been the means of relief to many of pr. Edwards regular pa tients as we'll as to thousands of oth- CTS who have suffered and were afraid of calomeL
 There is no necessity, when you take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, by following them up with nasty, sicken- ing, griping salts, castor oil, as you do after taking calomeL Try them. 10c and 25c per box The Olive Tab let Company. Columbus. O.-Ady.

I tried several remedies and finally a doctor, but they did not seem to improve. knew of a friend who was taking Swamp-RoOt for kid- ney trouble with good results and decided to get some for the children. ! had noticed that there was some ix1afrov enaent after they had taken two large bottles and continued to give it to them until they had taken oue-half dozen bottles and were wen on the road to recovery. think Dr. Kflnaer's Swamp-Root has done more for my children than any other medi- cine [ have tried and recommend 1t to anyone having children that suf- fer as mine did.

:
 Washington, Feb 1.-The shackel- ford good roads bill, authorizing the secretary of agriculture to spend $25,- 0o0, ,00o annually forthe maintenance Of rural post roads in states which appropriate funds equal to the sums apportioned to them by the govern ment, was before the Senate today with the possibility of early considera- ton.
 A large number of Senators had de- cIared their intention to speak on the bill when it is called up for considera- ton. It issnot expected, however, that the measure will meet any serious op- position as there is apparently a de- cided sentiment in favor of it's early disp osition.

RABBI WISE TO LECTURE
 AT GHAUTAUQUA FEB. 2t

Tn New York. Rabbi Stephen s. Wise is known as a friend # the .chtl- dren and many Of the movements to
 make conditions better for them have had their start with him. Not only as a friend of the children has he won renoWn but as one of the keen think CTS of the age.s interested in. any move Inent tending to uplift humanity. His Ideas moreover are not confined to him or. a, small circle of acquaintances
 but are distributed broadcast in wrat- ings and lectures. His ability as a speaker is well known and he is a particular favor1te in Bridgeport
 Much real pleasure has been mani fested over his selection of topics for February 26 at the New Casino, 1075 State street, in connection with the fifth annual Chautauqua assembly of Bridgeport Pastors association Al
 2:30 clock he will speak on tsTh e
 Newer World for the Child'' and at
 7:45 o'clock on The Jew and the

 will reflect many of his activities dur ing years of prominence. Miss vir- ginia Powell will give the prelude at each lecture.
 Rabbi Wise was one of the most popular attractions on the Chautauqua program last winter and it was deem ed imperative that he again be se- cured. His personal magnetism is 2 fitting adjunct to the nasterful man ner in which he presents his sub- ject, word pictures being painted with a. master hand.
 In the securing of Rabbi Wise, the committee believes that it has secured one of the most popular. speakers o1 the day and one who lends much strength to the general excellence o1 i ff1c 7r0zrraTY7

Although our school is situated in
the lower part of the poor sand hills
of the COUNTY. we are living and
growing. The nationwide movement
for better schools has reached us, and
awakened new spirit in the hearts
of many.
As it is our school is progressing
nicely under the management of Miss
Bessie Byrd. She opened our school
November 3rd with an enrolment OF
twenty-four, the present enrolment
being thirty-nine, with an average o.
twenty-seven to thirty. The grades
run to the sixth.
We have a neat school room, 2OX3O
feet, with new patent desks, and about
fifteen feet of blackboard. From this
Won can realize a crowded school
room and as much as one teacher can
possibly do.
We have given one entertainment
and raised twenty-eight dollars net.
This is the first affair ever held at
this place, and we feel it was a sue
cess.
We have bought eight shades, a
teachers chair and lib ary table; and
have placed our order for a library
and case for the books.
Miss Evans spent January 14th with
us and organized an Improvement
Association" The officers are: Pres
ident. Mr.. w. H. Griggs, Vice-Presi-
dent, Mr.. w. A. Barfield and Miss Bes-
sic Byrd secretary and treasurer.
Under the auspicies of this organiza-
ton an entertainment will be given
in the near future, the profits to be
expended for the Improvement OF the
school. The most needed thing is a
new heater, which we are sure of get
ting.
Last. but by no means least, this
school has the consolidation fever"
Our school is illegal as we'll as Cat
Pond" school, our neighbor, and as a
consequence, we are endeavoring to
consolidate. In these two districts
there are students sufficient for three
teachers. And it is sincerely hoped
the patrons will feel Me need and i'm

their children. Their futures should
