Safety First Order

The longest way around, is the saf-
est" is a new slogan in the Ruther-
ford yards of the. Philadelphia and
Reading Railway. Recently n train
man was killed while crossing the
tracks to set to his train. He was
knocked down by an engine.
Since this accident, orders have
been posted at the shops and round
houses, and throughout the yards,
warning employees about the danger
in making short cuts" and insisting
that they use the bridges and regular
crossings.
This order will mean long walks for
some of the employees, and will be en-
forced. Frequently employees at the
Rutherford yards, who use the trolley
cars to and from Harrisburg, see a
car approaching, and In order to gain
a little time rush across the ladder of
tracks in the yards.
They are obliged to shoot around
ends of cars and drafts, and give little
heed to tracks or engines that are on
the move. At several points in the
yard there are crossings that are kept
clear and give employees full view of
the tracks east and west.

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 that calomel does. but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or Gallo
mel. They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it: Why cure the liver
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
1t is best not to take calomel, but
to let DIR. 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

Globe Will Hold Second
ro6t-Sharing Event

Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock
the Globe will begin its second semi
annual thousand suit and overcoat
campaign. This event is conducted in
conjunction with the half yearly
clearance of stocks and will be car
ried out along the same unique plans
conceived by Ben Strouse, proprietor
of the Globe in a similar event last
summer. That event was one which
received much attention locally and
was covered by trade publications in
the United States, owing to it's un-
usual features as merchandising
proposition.
The last summers event, as the
name signifies, 1t is the aim of the
management of the store to sell during
the campaign a thousand mems and
boys suits and overcoats by February
26th, in which event customers will
receive a refund on the original
amount of their purchases.
This mark was attained in the
previous event, the number of gar
ments sold passing the thousand mark
set by the store and patrons of the
event were recipients of checks tc
cover the amount of their profit
sharing. In view of the success OF
the first event, the store management
has deemed 1t advisable to make the
event a semi-yearly occurrence, and
for this second occasion of it's KIND
extensive preparations have beer
made, including an extra sales force
to insure prompt attention to patrons

WHAT IS URIC ACID?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM LUMBAGO
GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH

Ever since the discovery of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775,
and the bad effect it had upon the
body, scientists and physicians have
striven to rid the tissues and the blood
of this poison. Because of it's over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DIR. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent called "Anuric," !"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. "Anuric" is 81 times more
potent than lithia, and consequently
you need no longer fear muscular or
articular rheumatism or gout, or
many other diseases which are de-
pendent on an accumulation of uric
