BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets substi-
sute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, 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 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. tbs 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
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 10
Delegates representing coal miners
of Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and
Arkansas, voted 1873 to 166 last night
against calling strike in the south

tanning the automatic" clause in the
new agreement with the operators.
The convention on Wednesday
night had expressed itself as being
opposed to the penalty clause, but
after twelve hours debate, this deci-
sion was reversed and the convention
was adjourned. officials of the vari-
GUS districts were instructed to re-
turn and draft agreements with the
operators of their districts, embody-

William Frakes and William Coll
sen, who pleaded guilty in the federal
court to the charge of receiving stolen
goods, were leniently dealt with by
Judge Wade this morning when he
sentenced them to seven months in
Jail, and dated their commitment
from the date of their arrest in June.
Frakes has served five months and
Collsen six, so that they have only a
little time remaining.
The court warned the men that II
lie was lenient with them, he did not
want to hear of their abusing his con-
fidence. He was taking into consider
alton the scarcity of men and the fact
that men were needed in this country.
There was little or no excuse for men
committing crimes he said, as there
was plenty of work and good wages.
The plea was made that the men got
into trouble principally when drinking.
This the court considered, but SAID
that the men should realize their weak
ness and stay away from booze.
The sentence was for seven months
