Indeed. as Senator Thomas Of Colorado
veteran today and he should die tomor-
row, the Government would be compelled
to keep her on the pension roll for the
remainder Of her life. But Senator Bryan
of Florida had notified the Senate that
unless the limitation of the act Of 1906
was retained he would hold the bill up.
This threat influenced the Senate into
accepting an amendment conforming to
the provisions of the House bill
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia also
attacked the Senate amendment author

to so a case. Senator Smoot pleaded
that the effect of prohibiting the en-

Senator Smith remarked that while hi
was Secretary OF the Interior under

BETTER Than CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR.,
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination 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 tina: calomel 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? Calonel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take caiomel, but to let DR. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness"' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
