wards Olive Tablets are q
Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild but
sure laxative. and their effect on the
liver il almost instantaneous. They
are the result Of DIR. Edwards deter
mination 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 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.
It is best not to take ca1omel, but
to let DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets take
it's place.
Most headaches, 'dullness'' and

Italia Film Co., which is being shown
at the Hip this week.
The discovery was made by Jack
Wilson and Mr.. Olsen, the manager of
the Cabiria films. The hopes stage
name is Maciste. His real name is
unknown. But, as a leading charac-
ter in the play. Maciste shows his pow
erful frame, well developed muscles
and wonderful strength to their best
advantage. He handles ordinary sized
men like ordinary sized men would

complexion makes him look like q

he is spaghetti eater.
According to Mr.. Olsen, the big man
was picked up while working on a
levee in Italy and was trained espe-
cially for the part because Of his SUI

name is not known. neither is his
