Toy industry orsxa.

Recent official statistics show that
the growth Of the toymaking industry
in the United States since the grand
fathers OF the present generation were
children has been remarkable. White
the population has grown but 21s per
cent since 1853, the per capita eXpend-
iture for toys has increased by 1,165
per cent, says Popular Mechanics. The
toy factories have increased in number
from only twelve in 1859 to 200 in 1914
the year OF, the latest returns--and
the annual output has increased in
value from s1S400O to s13.757,0o0 In
1859 nearly twice as many toys were
imported as those of domestic make;
twenty years later we were making
twice as many as we imported. In 1914
the output of American toys was 1.6
times greater than the toy imports. and
since the European war began the pro-
portion of domestic toys in the market
has steadily increased.

Several satisfactory methods for

most satisfactory among them for pre-

glass method. 1t Is especially recon-

been in use a long time" he says, ana

Use of Lime Water.
If the householder wants to use lime

preparations: Slack three pounds of
good rock lime in a small amount of
water This will form milk lime, to
which add three gallons of water. Keep
the mixture well stirred for a day. then
allow the excess of lime to settle and
use only the clear liquid.

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

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-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-coiored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or caionel. 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. Sodo strong liquids. Its 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

not to take foolish chances. Of all

was a. storm and then he would roar.
while all the other lions would roar
