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

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are 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 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 iniure 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 DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
law feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and
"heavy." Note how they clear" clouded

HIGHWAY ENGINEERS NEEDED.
Demand For Trained Men Greater
Than the Supply.


College and university students who
specialize in the highway engineering
branches of civil engineering courses
will find unusual opportunities hence
forth of securing early employment
and good pay after winning their de-
grees. There has long been decided
lack of trained road engineers, and the
demand for them is increasing rapidly.
Probably no other branch In engineer
ing offers such sure reward at this
time. Eighteen state highway commits
sions out of twentyfOur reporting to
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce in New York city state that
there is a lack of trained road engi-
neers, and sixteen say that preference
would be given TO graduates of col
lege highway engineering courses in
the appointment of additional road en-
gineers.
Nearly 1000 engineers are now en-
ployed by the twenty-four state COM
missions, and in addition about 1000
are employed as county and city engi-
neers in nineteen of the states Sal
aries of highway engineers range from
5000 to $1,000 Year. The average is
about $1,S00 There has been a ire
mendous increase in highway improve
ment throughout the country during re-
cent years, and the demand for good
roads is growing rapidly. Highway
commissioners report that they expect
the number of engineers employed by
the state highway departments will be
doubled within five years. Enactment
