BETTER THAN CALOMEL
thousands Have Discovered DR.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

DIR. 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 result
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 injurc 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.
1t is best not to take calomel, but to let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place

ARE SOLID FOR MORGAN
Reno Co. Republicans Give Their
Fellow Citizen a Boost.

Reno county Republicans got
squarely behind w. Y. Morgan, lieu
tenant governor. in his fight for a
place on the Big Four" to the ma
tional convention when the Hutchin-
son convention gave the home candi-
date strong endorsements and a solid
delegation to the state convention in
Topeka. AS generally doped by po-
litical observers, Reno county also fol-
lowed the advice of Morgan and his
friends and instructed against D. w
Mulvane for national committeeman
In selecting delegates to the state
convention, the Reno county Repub-
licans accorded a place to Mrs. w. Y
Morgan, wife of the lieutenant gov
ernor. Mrs. Morgan was the only
woman who won a place on the state
delegation.
The Hutchinson convention de-
clared for political harmony in the Sc
lection of a national leader. Morgan.
who spoke before the convention, told
his home people that he believed jus
tice Hughes was the logical leader of
the Republicans in the coming presi-
dental fight. His personal preference,
however, was for Senator Borah of
Idaho. Morgan criticised the wobbly
stand of the Wilson administration in
national and foreign affairs.
TT reminds me of d new dance I
heard of in New York" Morgan told
the delegates in discussing the Wilson
policies. TT was called the Wilson
tango. 1t was three steps forward. six
steps backward, hesitate and side
step
Delegates to the state convention
are instructed to work for a place for
Morgan as a delegate at large and it
is possible Mrs. Morgan may cast the
vote of the Reno county delegation for
her husband

Church March 16.

Prof. Gustav Holmquist, baritone,
will give a recital in the First Meth
odist church Thursday evening, March
16.
Holmquist was extensively adver

Bethel church and a great friend of
Holmqust. Holmquist consented some
time ago to give a recital as soon as
his engagements would permit, for the
benefit of the Swedish Bethel church.
The First M. E. church has offered
the use of their larger building for the
concert.

preparing to meet it for several
months. With the exception of few
odds and ends that may be required,
the plant has on hand a supply of all
grades of paper to last until late this
fall. Nine cars of book paper for use
in publishing the Kansas school texts
Were purchased prior to an advance in
price.

I'm the matter of bond papers on
which q famine is threatened, the state
plant is equally fortunate" said Mr..
Smith this morning in discussing the
paper situation with c. l.. Mitchell of
Crane and Company. We have on
hand more than a thousand reams of
high grade bond, large part of which
was purchased at prices ranging from
, 5 to $3.50 a ream lower than those
now prevailing
Last week MIR. Smith was in the
market for colored bond papers and
obtained the entire stock of two large
wholesale paper houses. Since then a
10 per cent advance in that stock has
been received. The purchase of a
supply of cover paper, made this week,
sufficient for the needs of the plant
for the next six months was made at a
price so far unaffected by war condi-
tons, and this. for the present. COM

ing who could get a livelihood oy otner
means? Absolutely false.
Was your conversation with him while
he was treating you professionally! YES.
What was your object in filing charges
against DR.. Smith? My object was to
protect Mr.. Henderson and to force Dr.
Smith to marry the nurse by making him
think I wanted him to marry me. had
no financial objections.

sons house and have your child there?
I told him it would be nice for the child
to be born there SO his mother could help
take care of it. 1t was at this time that
we decided on the baby's name, Mary
Henderson. If she was boy she was to
be named John Brooks Henderson, Jr.
On further questioning Miss Garmong
denied all the imputations of immortality
that were made against her during the
course Of the trial.
