NEED OLD CLOTHING
Volunteers for Sewing Also Wanted
by Provident Association.

ola clothing and volunteer cutters
and sewers are badly needed by the
Provident association at this time, &C
cording to a statement by Mrs. Myrtle
Callahan, secretary of the association.
The demand for old clothing is great
ly in excess of the supply, especially
in the case of children. The cutters
and sewers are needed to remodel
and cut down old clothes to fit the
needs Of the city's poor children.
Mrs. Callahan says that number
of women able to spare two or three
hours a day are needed and will be
of untold value to carrying on this
necessary work.
Six hundred and twenty -nine old
suits have been repaired and cut down
in the past month and over one hun
bred pairs of shoes have been half
soled and repaired in anticipation of
the many pairs of feet that might
grow painfully cold this winter.

BETTER THAN CALQMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards oIivS. 7ablets-the substi-
tute for calomel ARE a mild but sure
laxative, and theif 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. 1t is 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 DR.. Ed%sards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy& and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded
Drain and how they 'perk up the spirits.

back, even with empty pockets and

treatment accorded the boys, but they
are relieved TO have them back again

last few days.
