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 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

! following editorial on Ruth Law, VINO
FLEW at Keokuk last month. 1t Is
tribute to womanhood and says:
Ruth Law, birdwoman! Perhaps
you don't know it, and 1t Is highly
probable that you don't care. but
you're Ruth Law, feminist. too. You
are the practical sort of feminist that
is going to do more for women than
decade Of front parlor and lecture
room talk on sex barriers" will ever
do. For, Ruth Law, you didn't just sit
down and talk Oh, no; you went and
donned your flying clothes. and you
went and sat yourself down In your
little baby biplane, old-fashioned and
queer and you shifted few levers and
made a couple of moves with your
booted feet, and there you were. sail
ing off into the blue. past the mist,
past the fog, past the clouds. into crisp
November sunshine and the glory OF
flight.
You didn't make a bit of fuss about
lit, Ruth Law. There was a good deal
more talk about the man whose three
weeks-old record you broke yesterday,
when he was about to make his flight.
There were prepare tons for that flight
of his. and there was much to be said.
But YOU Ruth Law-you weren't sure
that the folks in some of the towns
YOU passed over in your little, old, out
of-date biplane even saw you, for you
hadn't been advertised at all Only
few people saw you Off when you made
that historic start from Chicago at
1925 on Sunday morning. and right
straight along, until you landed on
Governors Island, Monday, you sat
tight and minded your own business,
and, according to your own accounts,
weren't much bothering about what
folks were going to think. The Joy
was in the doing. and you went %
work without fuss or feathers, and you
did it.
There isn't. it would seem, much
that woman can't do in the same way
if only they set their mind to it. OF
course, it's exemplified right in the
homely little household things every
day. Father is to hang a picture and
