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 cslomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored 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 calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calonel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It IS best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spiritA

UP TO "CITY DADS"
Better Housing Conditions Are
Demanded in Topeka.
Welfare Committee of C. of c.
Asks for Building Ordinance.

Housing conditions in certain sec
tons of the city are deplorable, ac-
cording to reports made this noon by
the welfare committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce. headed by Horace
Hall But there promises to be little
relief from the situation, the COM
mitteemen agree.
An ordinance for improving the
housing code in the city was to be
presented to the city asking that
dwellings in certain sections of the
city be inspected. According to sew
eral city commissioners this action
would be impossible from a legal
standpoint. The front door of a
house bars any public officials from
inspection conditions unless there is
a complaint or notice of a disease.
Will Appeal to State.
Provided that the opinion of the
commissioners is correct, recon-
mendation for a state law will be
made to the legislature next session
by the welfare committee. Under the
state law inspection of the dwellings
could be made, it is thought.
The sections of the city referred to
at the meeting include portions of the
residence district on the east side, in
the bottoms and along the railroad
tracks. Disease is bred there, it was
claimed, and was carried to practical
ly every other section of the city.
This agitation follows a recent ex-
pose of conditions in Little Mexico"
made by the State Journal. Miss
Louise Duncan Shaffer, superintend-
ent of the Public Health Nursing asso-
citation, and DR.. Thomas j. O'Connor,
county physician, made the initial in

SOCIALISTS SUPPORT
Favor Frances War Budget-Urge
Revision of War Aims

Bordeaux, Oct. 1O.-The Socialist
congress now converting here voted
1852 to 1894 in favor of continuing
supporting the war budgets in parlia-
ment. The convention also voted fav-
orably on the resolution demanding
revision of allied war aims.
The large vote cast against the reso-
luton favoring support of the govern
ment's war budget is a reflex of the
recent cabinet crisis when Socialists
withdrew from the government.
The resolution demanding revision
of allied war aims is significant in
view of the forthcoming inter-allied
conference in Paris
