BETTER THAN CkLOMEL Thousands Have Discovered pr. Edwards Olive Tablets Are
 a Harmless Substitute

Dr. 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 rot to treat liver and bowel complaints with caIomel. His efforts to barish it brought out these little olive colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that ca1omel 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, "dullness' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. 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 25o per box. All druggists.

FUGITIVE FOUND HIDING
 BEHIND LUMBER PILE.
Michael Renorck Was Dripping Wet When Arrested by supernumerary Donovan-Wanted in WiIimantic.

Michael Renorck, dripping wet, was found by Supernumerary John DonO- van about II o'clock Saturday night crouching behind a pile of lumber in the Chappell yard and placed under arrest after a Polish man had come to the officer on Thames square and told him with excited gestures that there was a man down there with a gun who had stolen a lot of money.
 Later it was learned that Renorck was wanted in Willimantic on a charge of stealing $20. The man was taken back to Willimantic Sunday aft ernoon by an officer who came here for him. When searched at the Nor wich police station three $20 bills were found upon him, but no gun. He was so thoroughly cold and soaked when brought in that Captain Two mey had to wrap him up in a blanket while his clothes were drying on the standpipes.
 It is believed that Renorck ran down into the lumber yard when he saw he was recognized by the man who told the policeman and as Ren- orck did not know the locality he probably ran overheard and had just scrambled back to land when the po- liceman arrived.
