BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at
the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad breath

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets without grip

DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel

bad breath.

WOMEN CAN JUDGE WOMEN
JUST AS MEN JUDGE MEN
Nor would women juries be unduly

That women should be on the jur-

Hubby's Artificial Leg
Causes Divorce Action

Pittsburgh. - Because her husband
had deceived her before and at the time
of their marriage in Cumberland, Md,
July IS, 1914, by not telling her that he
only had one good leg and that she
did not learn that his other leg was
artificial until three weeks after the
marriage, was the reason given for
asking a decree of divorce by Mrs.
Anna Bell, before a master appointed
to take evidence in the case.
The discovery that her husband had
only one leg. the wife testified, was
followed by abuse and Ill treatment by
him. She says she was forced to leave
him two months after their marriage
Quarrels, the wife said, were due to heI
husbands Unsuitable appetite for liquor
The master recommended that a di-
vorce be granted.

CHAPTER LXII.

Copyright, 1916, Star Company)
Consciousness returned slowly to
Agnes Morley.
First she was aware of a penetrat-
ing odor that stung her nostrils, then.
through a haze, she saw the face of
the druggist bending over her.
oh" she gasped, What is it?
Where am I?''
She was lying on a couch in the
room at the rear of the shop. The
proprietor was holding a bottle of
salts to her nose. His assistant knelt
by her side. chaf1ng her hands. AS
the recollection of what she had just
heard swept over her she struggled to
rise.
II must go home" she quavered. II
want to go home, please"
Just lie still moment" the drug
gist soothed. You will be better
pretty soon. I noticed when you came
guess you've been working a bit too
hard. Do you feel any pain? Shall
call a cab to take you homer"
mo, indeed-Tm all right" Agnes
insisted, standing up in spite of the
mans protest. II have been little
the booth, that's all. I sahll get on
comfortably now. thank you both
very much"
Her. manner was so decided that
neither man offered any further re-
monstrance. One of them held the
door open for her when she went out;
both shook their heads as they gazed
after her retreating figure.
"She looks like death itself" the
clerk commented. 81 hope she gets
home all right"
She Crawls Home
"She has only a short way to go"
the proprietor rejoined. "and it's just
as well, for she's surely unsteady on
her pins"
With the instinct of a wounded ami
NAL that crawls away to hide its hurts
and TO die, Agnes sought her home.
Weakly she climbed the stairs, cling
ing to the balustrade for support. All
seemed dark about her. She must not
fall, she told herself, unit lshe was safe
in her own room. For what seemed
like hours she climbed upward.
At last she found herself clinging
with one hand to the knob of her front
door, while with the other hand she
managed to ring the bell.
Then, as she saw the white and
startled face of Jennie ONeill, she
caught the maid by the arm. felt her
self falling again through blackness,
and, with moan, sank to the fioor.t
A dash of cold water in her face
revived her sufficiently for Jennie to
lead her into the living room. where
she submitted to the maids command
that she lie down on the couch. When
she was stretched out with a shawl
thrown over her. Jennie hurried from
the room, returning in few minutes
with the announcement that she had
been upstairs to telephone for the
doctor.
IT was just in time to catch him as
he was leavin' his office" she said, 80
he'll be here in q jilfy''
II don't need him." Agnes began.
but the girl silenced her with a ges-
ture.

For, while he talked, he had been
dropping some liquid into a glass with
Il little water in it, and now held it to
her lips. She swallowed the mixture
obediently.
Don't try to get even into your
own room until tonight" he told her.
"Jennie'-turning to the maid, "see
that Miss Agnes is not disturbed until
time for her to be put to bed for the
night. Then give her q little nourish-
ment and another dose of this liquid.
If she is not better tomorrow, send
for me-"
Vague thoughts of murder and of
hopeless debt floated through Agnes
mind, but f1oated away again as the
sedative took hold of her senses and
she drifted off into oblivion.
1t was evening when she opened her
eyes and she saw Jennie standing by
her.
"Why-what has been the matter
with me?" Agnes asked. "Oh, yes
now ! remember! Jennie"-strug-
Cling with the drowsiness that threat
ened to engulf her-''tell me-do you

girl reminded her. THE doctor for

After she had gotten Agnes into
bed, Jennie remained with her until
the sleeping draught had again done

front door. A man whom she did not
know stood there.
"Is MissMorley at home?" he asked
nervously.
''Shes not well, and she can't see
anybody just now." the maid replied
Tell her." the man directed. that

AS Jennie shut the door after his
departure, the memory of his pale
face made her shudder.
