BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at
the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar.
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gem
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver;
stimulating them to natural action;
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening;
gripping cathartlcs are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive, Tablets without grip
ing, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint with the attendant
bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are pure
~ a vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil; you will know them by their
olive color. Take one or two every
night for a week and note the effect.

In money matters they were. as Ce-

Robert had still ten pounds left out
Of his original forty, and he had saved
about three pounds out of his weekly
payments.
After the colonel's funeral little
dry lawyer had come down to Wood,

with the gratifying Information that
Lady Marden was willing to continue
weekly allowance Of one pound on
the condition that Cecil never bother

The other relatives had been only
too thankful to hear Of the death OF
the black sheep, and Cecil had &C
Quiesced without demur to the ar
rangement.
When Robert reached home he
found Cecil waiting for him. She was
wearing a white muslin dress. cut
square at the neck. and her brown
hair was beautifully waved and
dressed.
She looked up rather shyly as he
entered. He, too, felt embarrassed

known as Richmond's best dressed
man." arose from desk IN his tailor

In his eyes.
He had been reading an article in q
newspaper written by M. Andre de
Fouquieres, the French arbiter OF
mems fashion. in which NJ. de Fou.
Quieres blunuy and pointedly declared
that American gentlmen did not
know how to dress properly.
Still smouldering with rage Mr.. EN-
mons filled five or six trunks with
clothing. ranging from simple outing
suits to full evening dress, then hied
himself to New York. It ts an old
story now how Broadway fell a wor
shipping slave at his feet, how the New

praise, reproduced his photographs In
numerous poses and attire. and hailed
him as "the best dressed man In
America" title his many Richmond
friends had long believed he was en-
titled to.

With fashionable Gotham conquered
Mr.. Emmons threw down the gauntlet
to M Fouquieres. In an interesting
controversy with the French critic Mr.
Emmons ably defended the cause OF
America. He lauded the taste in dress
