BETTER Than CALOMEL
Thousands Have DiscoveredDr'
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel-are 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. Ills
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 liouids 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.
It is best not to take calomel, but to let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and q
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards olive
Tablets when you feel "loggy and
heavy" Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they 'perk up the spirits.
At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

MEDICAL COLLEGES

The first medical college in the western part of the United States was Rush Medical College, founded in Chicago in 1887 by Dr. Daniel Brain ard, who was born in Whitesborough, N. r., 104 years ago today, May 1o, 1812. Rush College commentaries the name of pr. Benjamin Rush, who was born near Philadelphia of Quaker percentage in 1745. Dr. Rush served as an apprentice to Philadelphia physician for six years, and then com p1eted his medical education in Edin- burgh, London and Paris. He was 8 signer of the Declaration of Independ- ence, one of the founders of the first American anti-slavery society, and the greatest physician of his day. During the yellow fever scourga in Philadel- p11ia in 1793 he visited more than a hundred patients daily. Up to the nineteenth century there were only five medical college in the United States, all in the East. In 1919 a medical school wasl started in Cincinnati, and in 1925 the first institution of this kind in the South was founded in South Carolina, the University of Georgia soon following suit. The first medical college west of the Mississippi was es- abolished in St. Louis in 1S42.

fled by the part it has since played in the education of young Virginians Itw as just a century ago, in 1816, that an agitation was commenced in Virginia for the establishment of a central college near Charlottesville. The sage of Monticello was the lead CT in the movement, and in 1819, when the university was chartered, he superintended the erection Of the building and was chosen rector. The role he played in founding this great institution was a subject of peculiar pride with him, and he considered 1t of greater importance than his services as a statesmen. Jefferson lived to see the university firmly established, and it is now his most useful monu- ment. The university is only snort distance from Monticello, the home of Jefferson.
 Dr. Alderman became the president of the University of Virginia twelve years ago. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in lS82, and began his career as an educator as superintendent of schools at Colds boro, N. C., and in 1889 became as- sistant state superintendent of schools. In 1892 he joined the faculty of the North Carolina State Normal College as professor of English. and in 1896 he was made president of his alma mater, the University of North Caro- lima. In 1899 he went to New Or leans to assume the presidency of Tu- lane University, a position he held until 1904, when he assumed the presidency of the university founded by Thomas Jefferson.

While the French Foreign Legion consists of but a handful eff men, as | com Jared with the vast numbers en- gagged in the war. the Legioners have full reason to be proud of their rec ord. Men from all countries. white, black, yellow and brown, many of them famous in their native lands, are fighting under the banner of the For eign Legion. and hundreds of them [ have died for France. For five sous
 per day and an allowance of tobacco
 and wine, thousands of men possessed of considerable fortunes, and with
 lives of luxury and happiness stretch
 ing before them, have voluntarily and
 eagerly ris1ed all in the trenches.
 Americans, North and South, are con-
 spieuous in that picturesque force
 gathered together from the ends of

 and the Italians came second, but the latter have since left the Legion to fight under the flag of their na- tive land. There were about 1,6000 subjects Of the Austrian Emperor
 mostly Galicians and Czechs, when the Legion marched to the front. Greeks, Spaniards, Luxemburgers, Be1gians, Swiss, Poles, Danes and Portuguese comprised the other prin- cipal natianiIties represented. There were hundreds of citizens of the United States. and, many more from the various other American republics of Central and South America. In the Yankee contingent negro pugi1ists have fought shoulder to shoulder with college professors and literary men. Fred Stone, formerly in the United States consular service, was the first American to give up his life for France. Kenneth Weeks,~ Boston author, and several other Americans were killed at Givenehy last June.
