BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--thc substi
tute for calomel--are mild but sure laxa
tive, 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 Danish 1t brought out these little
olive.colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calcmel does but have no bad after ef
fects. They don't injure the teeth like strong
liouids or calomel They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why cure
the liver at the expense OF the teethr Cal
omel sometimes plays havoc with the gums
So do strong liquids.
II Is best not to take caiomel but TO let
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dulness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets when you feel"loggy and "heavy."'
Note how they "clear" clouded brain and
how thew "perk up" the spirits. At lOc and
Csc per box. All druggists.

1t is true that nature and woman's

Famous Musician Compliments Great
American Business Man.

In the March Noman's Home Compan-

article, entitled what Is Good Music"
The author is Ricardo Martin, the first
American to sing great tenor roles at
the Metropolitan opera house in New
York. Mr.. Martin was born in Ken
lucky, was educated in New York and
Europe, and has appeared in all the great
cities of the world. In the following
extract taken from his article, Mr.. Mar
tin compliments great American busi-
ness man:
There is one point more on which l
should like to touch, and that is the
relative value of art and business. and
the latter has had very vital effect
upon good music in America. Some there
NAV be who, without thought, say that
people successful in business cannot talk
about art. The successful business man
is pre-eminently able TO take care OF
himself He launches great undertake
ings; his capital supports through occu-
patton thousands Of men. James J. Hill,
for instance, opened up the great North

of square miles of territory. Such a
