Local Trapper's Record
ONE SUNDAY, ! TO-DAY
First Capture Made on Mountain
East of He'll Hollow and Weighed
About 150 Pounds.

Homer A. Lyons of this village,
who has probably captured more
bears than any man now living in
this vicinity, has made his most re-
markable record, two bears in two
days. Sunday he bagged his goth
bear and today he reported his 21st.
Mr. Lyons has not made much of
an effort to trap this fall The last
legislature removed the bounty and
the business is not so profitable as it
used to be few years ago Never
theless, he put out some traps from
force of habit and Sunday made his
first catch, three-year-old female,
Weighing about $50 pounds. The first
bear was trapped on the mountain
east OF Hell Hollow.
Early this morning Mr. Lyons tele-
phoned to the village that he had
made his second capture, making two
bears in two days.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out 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. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, 'dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they ''perk up the spirits.
