tho vaccination law. He said he
wished to avoid any possibility that
in case a smallpox epidemic should
unfortunately strike the city the
school board. any other board or the
public might criticize the health
board for not insisting that the vac
cination preventatives be admins
tered. The board voted unanimously
with the doctor.
!, 1t was distinctly understood that
this recommendation is not an insist
ent one and is not given to the school
board in any mandatory manner. but
simply to show that the health board
is on the alert and exercises due care
in preventing the spread of disease.
In case the school board sees fit to
accept the recommendation it will
mean, under the state law, that no
pupils can attend school who have not
been vaccinated.

suggested. The Later Hide and Tai

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR.:
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of

poor digestion. they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-clogged liver
and disordered bowels.

the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, dont-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are. a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by. their
olive color. They do the work without
pripine, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief. so you can eat what you like.
