dent on charge of numbering Marian
Lambert, Lake Forest high school
girl, opened at Waukegan today with
the selection of jurors. A first venire
of 1876 men was ordered to report but
owing to the wide publicity given the
case, it is not expected that the jury
will be completed from this number
Both sides to the case express them
selves as confident Of the outcome of
the trial. Evidence to be presented, it
is said, will be largely circumstantial
and the question for the jury to de-
eide is whether the girl voluntarily
took the poison which caused her
death or whether Orpet gave it to her.

Harmless Substitute
"a

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calOmel-are a mild but sure laxa-
tive, 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 injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calonel. 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.
It is best not to take calomel, but to let

A new debating league. known as

prising the nine schools entered IN

the annual Big Eight meeting in the
Galesburg high school Saturday. This
means that the nine schools. hitherto
members of the Knox league of Is
schools. will withdraw from that Or
ganization and will hold their own
competition annually.
This will leave the forensic circuit
which has been under Knox college
direction with only seven schools.
Whether it will result in its dssolu-
ton is question. Withdrawal of
Big Eight cites is understood to have
been contemplated by the schools for
some tine.
Oratorical contests in the Big Eight
league will be dropped, it was decid-
ed at the Saturday meeting. This is
because of increasing popularity Of
the extempore speaking event, re-
Gently instituted, and the difficulty of
holding two contests so near togeth-
er. Inc OrdLOTy competition IS one
of the oldest forms of literary activ-
ity for most schools.
