BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered pr Edwards Olive Tablets are
 Harmless Substitute

pr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calomel-are 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 1t brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calornel 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? Caionel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let DP, Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "dulinsss'' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a diserdeFed liver, Take Dr. Ed= wards Olive Tablets when you feel 'leggy" and ''heavy''. Nete hew they clear" cieuded brain and hew they 'Pefk uR' the spirits. At Toe and 25c per sax, The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus. c, All druggists.

STRENGTH TO SLAY LIONS.
Call of the Day Is to Be Heroic Says
 Rev. G. H. Strouse

The Y NJ. C. A. conducted a shop meeting at the International Silver Go. factory at ThamesvilIe on Tuesday noon with Rev. George H. Strouse as the speaker and in part he said:
 We read in the Bible of a man who went down into a pit and slew a lion on a snowy day. The call to be he roic is sounding all around us. The first thing needed is determination. We must grit our teeth and go forward to meet the foe. We need an aggressive Christianity. We dare not wait for the enemy to attack In football the man or team which gets the start has a great advantage To be unprepared almost inevitably means disaster Men, much depends on the personality be- hind the resolve or determination This man slew a lion. That's going some. He didn't wait for the lion to come but this man went after him and slew him. The Bible tells us the devil goeth about like roaring lion seeking whom he may deVour
 In every heart is a battle being waged more bitterly contested than the ground was a Waterloo That was one of the most decisive battles in the world. Men, the battle being waged in your heart is for you the one deci- sive event in life. Your eternal des- tiny is determined. But men, this man met a lion in a pit on a snowy day. The circumstances were against him. He was in a pit and couldn't run. It was showing and he was thus han dicapped. The Christian life is an un- linked fight We go up hill with diff = culty. We row up stream. No stop is taken in this journey heavenw ard without a struggle. Meet the lion )f sin and temptation, grapple with it in Gods strength, Slay it and in the name of Him who is King.
 Thas man went into a pit on a snowy day and slew the beast. John B. Cough tells of a man who had an aw- full fight with the beast, strong drink He locked himself into his room and struggled for hours. The victory was won. He came out his face covered with blood, but the man was a con- queror.
 In some mysterious way as the sap brings life and strength to every branch on tree and vine so being link ed with Christ brings to us power to conquer every beast we meet in ou1 upward climb te the City of God.

NORWICH TOWN
Woman Was No Rampant Suffrasette in 1a2o-Rev. George H. Ewing Speaks at Scotland Road Hall.

Showing the opinion in 1920 as to the status of woman with regard to meet ings, church affairs, etc. an extract from letter written in 1899 by Mrs Elizabeth Colt Lathrcp Hutchins. re- ferring to old times in Norwich Town says: The first prayer meeting which was held in connection with our church was in our dining room and was one of the disapproved enterprises. might whisper that there was a ladies' prayer meeting from, I know not how early. but they were very quiet about it. When the Misses Maria Colt and liar riet Lathrop opened the first Sunday school in Connecticut with the aim of teaching poor and neglected children to read the undertaking was looked upon with general disfavor and called a, breach of the Sabbath. Even our honored pastor. Rev. Dr Strong, not approving it. Being excluded from the church the first session was held on the church steps
 The first thing which I recollect of the dear old meeting house is that I sat on a low wooden stool in a square pew with high enclosures. There was no means of warming the house in those days except as people carried from their homes footstoves with hot coals for the comfort of the aged and infirm. The first stoves put in stood close by the outer doors and the heat was supposed to be carried through the building by long iron pipes which ran the whole length just beneath the edges of the galleries. When a gen. tleman who had come in his coach from New Haven to visit relatives in Norwich rode in his coach to church it was considered an infringement of the proprieties and as the matter was being talked over I recolIect that my mother said that the first time that a gentleman rode to meeting on horse back if was obiected to as a breach Of the command not to let our cattle work on Sunday

INJUNCTION NOT DISSOLVED
Holds Against Julius Wuttkey Serving Bartender-Judge Reed Gives Decisions-Plaintfs Gain Point in Suit
 by Two Former Assessors Against the Town of Norwich.

claiming that dogs got among them and did damage to that amount.
 In the two cases of Lewis R. Church and Alexander E. Reeves vS. the town of Norwich, the judge overrules a de- murrer on the part of the defendant.
 The two plaintiffs were members of the Norwich board of assessors in the spring of 1910 and they make the claim in their suit that they did extra work upon the order of the selectmen and that their services were separately worth S265. Payment was asked of the town and the suit followed.
 In his ruling on the demurrer the judge says: It is not essential for the plaintiffs to allege either that the amount was established by the town or fixed by the selectmen, and that without such allegations the complaint sets forth good cause of action.
