BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DIR. Ed
wards 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 deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
olive-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 calo-
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth? Cal
omel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids.
1T is best not to take calomel, but
to let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
its place.
Most headaches "dullness'' and
that lazy feeling comes from consti-
patton and a disordered liver. Take
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets when you
feel "1oggy'' and heavy" Note how
they clear" clouded brain and how
they "perk up the spirits. At 1Oc
and 25c per box. All druggists.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to mois-
ten the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrouS, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.

SKIRTS UP FOR SPITE.
High School Lassies Refuse to Let
Teachers Regulate Dress Lengths.

Holton. Kan, March "a sensa-
ton was caused in the high school
here a few days ago when the senior
girls came to school one day in short
dresses. The faculty was aroused and
strict order was given out that if any
of the young women were attired in
similar manner that afternoon, a gen
eral explanation would follow.
Now Holton high school has two or
three daring misses who care not for
wild threats of school teachers. They
appeared in the classic temple of
learning that afternoon and shortened
their dresses at least two inches more,
to the great delight of the students
and the horror of the teachers. But
they were not suspended. And now
all is running smoothly at the school.
