HAVE COLOR IN YOUR CHEEKS
Be Better L ooking-Take
Olive Tablets

If your skin is yeliow-complexion
pallid-tongue coated appetite poor
you have bad taste in your mouth-a
lazy, no-good feeling-you should take
Olive Tablets.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets sub
stitute for calomel-were prepared by
DIR. Edwards after II years of study
with his patients.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color.
To have clear, pink skin, bright eyes,
no pimples, feeling of buoyancy like
childhood days you must get at the cause.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets act on the
liver and bowels like calomel-yet have
no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome con-
stipation. That's why millions of boxes
are sold annually at 10c and 25c per
box All druggists. Take one or two
nightly and note the pleasing results.

NOTHING WRINKLES
FADES OR SHRENKS
Women save S. In an hour by dry
cleaning everything with
gasoline.

Dry cleaning at home is all the rage
here, says a well-known downtown
druggist. Any woman can do five
dollars with of dry cleaning at home
at very little cost by dissolving two
ounces of solvite in two gallons of gas
oline; then immerse the articles to be
cleaned; rub a little and in few mo-
ments the gasoline evaporates and the
articles cleaned look as bright and
fresh as new.
Dry clean your own silk waists,
dresses, ribbons, belts, kid gloves. sat
in shoes, evening slippers, fine laces,
net work, woolens, dresses, children's
coats, furs, wells, neckties, shawls,
gentlemen's garments. fancy vests
lace curtains, rugs, in fact, everything
that would be ruined by washing with
soap and water. Nothing will fade
shrink or wrinkle, making pressing
unnecessary.
Dry cleaning at home is inexpensive
and effects a tremendous saving in the
household and is really just as easy a.
laundering. Any druggist will sell two
ounces of solvite which is simply
gasoline soap and your grocer or d
garage will supply the gasoline. Their
wash boiler or dishpan completes
the outfit.-Advertisem

luscious Spanish melons, oranges and
green and purple grapes, musical with
the twittering of birds and the hum or
soft Latin voices bargaining for the
Sunday feast. The lower floor of the
market is given over entirely to the
many varieties of fish. the catching of
which is the chief industry of Vigo.
Never have 1 seen fish so fascinating.
The sapphire and silver of real Span
ish mackerel mingles with the coral OF
shrimps and the scarlet of boiled lob
sters. Founders, sole and rayf1sh
crowd weird little infant octopi that
are said to be delicious but I'd have to
eat mine with my eyes shut. huge
fishy monsters as big as six year old
child overshadow baskets of tiniest
sardines. Truly a visit to the Vigo fish
market is a liberal education in the
edible denizens of the deep. But this
is no fish story!
Only Two Automobiles.
During the morning the market is
lively with the crowding of chattering
housewives, the splendors of their
head handkerchief eclipsed beneath a
huge round osier basket which they
proceed to fill with their choice of
fish, flesh, fowl, vegetables and fruit.
Some of the heads vary the baskets
with huge metal coffee pots either
filled with that scalding beverage or
with drinking water which they get at
the picturesque fountains in the public
squares.
1 saw only two private automobiles
in Vigo and in lieu of taxis you are
jolted in a species of springless two
seated barouche drawn humping over
the cobbles by pair of scraggy steeds.
You can't be too hypercritical of
the means, however, no matter how
mean, when the end is a panorama Of
low whitewashed stucco houses red
tiled topped, delicious gardens within
low white walls, rooted with grape
vines, dropping maroon, purple and
green pendants temptingly within
reach, q crumbling old fort given over
to the browsing goat and sheep, dis
tant purple mountains and the sap
phire sea vivacious with the sails of
fishing craft, sassy launches and the
rusty dormant hulls of interned Ger
man ships.
And all for the price of 60 cents an
hour for a stout quartette. Oh,
shades of a busy little taxi on Broad
way,
! With such material and artistic joys
/ and such prices to boot is it any won
der that I reluctantly let myself be
dragged away from Vigo with a shawl
/ pair of earrings. a Spanish mackerel
| Spanish melon and regret.
