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

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel - are a 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. tits best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded

KILLING RATS

DR.. j. W. Case, a leading physic-
ian and citizen of Batesville, started
a movement in that city few days
ago having for its purpose the ex-
termination of the rat family.
Several farmers who visit Bates
vile were interviewed and all
agreed that each year rats eat and
destroy from ten to fifteen per cent
of the grain crops put away by the
farmers.
This is an enormous toll to give
to the rats, ,,a-clear loss. According
to the lowest estimate, when a
farmer cribs two hundred bushels
of corn in the fall he may expect
the rats to take twenty bushels of
this amount for living purposes if
he allows these pests to remain
about his crib.
Here, then, is something every
body CAN DO. All of us can slay
rats. When so much is being said
and written about stopping wastes,
it is refreshing to find waste that
can be stopped with a little practic-
al effort upon the part Of the people,
Better fight the rats than to feed
them, Fight them every way, and
save grain and money.
Our experience has been that the
ordinary rat poison put out in a
barn will rid the barn of rats by
killing several Of the little animals
and driving the rest away for a
considerable length of time. Where
those that leave 60 we do not know.
Probably they land in the barn Of
some neiehbor, in which case it Is
wise idea for the neiehbors to put
out poison also, so that the rats
may find no peace this side the
grave.
The rats ought not to be allowed
the privilege of making their living
from any per cent of the farmers
grain crops, and every community
should make a concerted effort to
prevent this waste.
