Thousands Have Discovered d.

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 calonel.
His efforts to bar;5h it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonel does, b-t have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth Ike
strong liquids or colonel. They take hold
of the trouble AID quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expel5e CT the teeth?
Calomel sometimes pl1ys 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, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear" clouded

Y: When you take friends out for
a spin in your car, you are quite right
to let them entertain each other. as
far as the conversation goes, since you
do the driving. and they should be
grateful to you for being so consider
ate of their safety. The driver of a
motor-car cannot talk and drive at the
same time, without jeopardizing the
security of the passengers; unless he
keeps to moderate pace, which is I'M
usual He should never take his eye
off the road in order to direct remarks
to the persons in the tonneau; and it
is unsafe for him to try to give more
than casual attention to the talker
Therefore. the driver who feels his
responsibilities will attend strictly to
the driving. so that his guests may be
free from anxiety.

BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE.

The greatest steam locomotive in
the world has been put into service by
the Baldwin Locomotive Works. 1t is
so gigantic that it's boilers had to
be made flexible at three different
joints that the locomotive could turn
a round curve. 1t is more than 100
feet long and weighs some $50 tons.
Twentyfour driving wheels, each
standing as high as an average man,
afford it traction. The driving
wheels are distributed along the
length of the locomotive in sets of
four pairs, the wheels or each set be-
ing coupled together and driven by
two giant steam cylinders. Under
full steam the locomotive can exert
an S2-ton pull on the cars behind it,
which means that it can easily haul
freight train two miles long and $4,000
ton in weight over an ordinarily good
roadbed at an average rate of about
IA miles per hous and possibly more.
Bad roads will retard it only slightly.
