Says Dr. Edwards, Well-Known
 Ohio Physician

Dr. F. M. Edwards for r years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients prescription made of few weil-known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color.
 These tablets are wonder-woTkers onthe liver and bowels, which cause normal action, carrying off the waste and poison ous matter in ones system.
 If you have pale face, saIlow look, dull eyes. pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a Iistless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for time and note the pleasing results.

The impression has somehow gone abroad that children are eligible to membership in the Red Cross on pay inert of 8 twenty-five cent fee. It is understood from the local chapter, however, that this is somewhat er- roneous. Children may join as an aux- Hilary band; that is, a school or room
 may join, pledging enough so that each child shall pay twenty-five cents. Thus a Junior Auxiliary is formed composed of individuals paying twen- ty- five cents each. This movement is quite widespread and after New Years the chairman of this work will come from Red Cross headquarters to or ganize such Junior Auxiliary in Norwich
