we're defeat on the Baptist Athletic
Association Of Rutland. Although the
score was rather one sided it was fan
from being slow game. The visitors
played an especially clean game and
took defeat with a smile. The old

During the latter part of the last
half Walsh took Ventres place at
center, Cherbonncau took Child's
place at right forward, and Eaton and
Rebee changed off in Bucks place Of
left guard.
Preceding the game and between

score of IA to 4. The Blacks rose
magnifcently in the face of defeat,
and no one ventures to guess what the
result would have been, could another

Edwards Olive Tablets are
q Harmless Substitute

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
u 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. It IS best not to
take calomet, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
