BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel, act gently on
the bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad
breath by all who know them.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels and

purifying the entire system. They do
that which dangerous calomel does
without any of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sicleening,

Or. Edwards Olive Tablets without

ents who might be entrusted with
their care.
The present private institution
has no such authority. Hundreds
of nameless babes are being adop-
ted in Washington homes. When
these children reach maturity
they will marry-possibly their
own halfsisters and brothers, or
other relatives within prohibited
degrees.
If they should apply for a life
insurance or take a civil service
examination they will be unable
to answer the customary ques-
tons as to hereditary diseases and
with regard to the longevity of
I their progenitors. 1t is dis
graceful state of affairs.
See, for instance, the evidence
brought out in the Darst case.
The REIMBURSEMENT document
stated that the little girl was il
legitimate. The former husband
of the mother was in court and
made no denial of his paternity
OF the chlld.
Recalling this youthful father
and his little five-year-old daugh-
ter, 1t requires no great stretch
OF the imagination to realize the
possibility even of n man marry
ing his own daughter under slch
disgracefully careless system.
The nominal secrecy of the White
Shield Home business is further
more an opportunity for black
mail, which may or may not he
taken advantage of. The public
will never know.
A child committed to the pres
ent children's home by the court
carries an appropriation og $40
or $50 from the public funds to
this private institution. They
may dispose of the child the next
day. The foster parents get no
help from the public fund, but
are required to pay IS court
fee for the adoption, and lawyer
fee, $40 and upward.
The lawyers have to live, too;
but it looks to me like a pretty
small business to have this re-
quirement tackled on the adoption
law.
The longer present condi-
tions are allowed to obtain the
harder 1t will be to effect
change. Our state is yet young.
Its future welfare depends upon
the manner in which we lay the
foundation. The school system is
established. Charities and cor
rections are the next most i'm
portant functions of government.

sists of keeping ones family on
the pay roll.
Democrats and republicans
alike seem to think their duty to
their family comes ahead of their
duty to their parties and after
both have been taken care of the

Let your reporter search
through the city hall, federal
building and court house and give
the results of family connections.
Your reporter will find that in the
court house the county officers
are not quite so coarse as Clerk
Mckenzie, the others swap jobs
and do not have their relations
working directly under them, but
their relations get their jobs
through the same pull.
Mr.. Walker has made a good
clerk, but Clerk Mckenzie realizes
that this may be his last show at
the public crib and 1t is up to
him to make hay while the sun
shines.
He has served the taxpayers
over 20 years.

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto

shortly before christmas. Little
credence Is placed in the rumor.
The reports, given by two diff
ferent persons, were to the effect
that young man and woman, in
Notwithstanding boots and
heavy clothing, walked through
the town, after inquiring direc-
lions several times. The hike
from Alder to Puyallup is so great
that II is scarcely possible the
couple could have made it. There
is no reason why they should have
walked there, anyway.
