SCHOOL CENSUS
SHOWS DECREASE

That there are 46 less boys and
girls in Pullman this year between
the ages of four and 81 years than
there were last year between five and
21 years is shown by the school cen
sus just completed by George
Schroeder. The total this year Is TAO,
comprising $50 males and 800 fe-
males, while last year the figures
totaled 1856. The fact that the mini

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
sec, Coo, S1.20

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, practicing physician
for II years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action. @
If you have dark brown mouth"-a
bad breath-a dull, tired feeling-sick
headache-torpid liver and are consti-
pated, you'll find quick, sure and only
pleasant results from one or two little
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets at bedtime.

night Just to keep right Try them.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemc
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, Sl00. Healing begins the
moment zemO IS applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,
letter, plmples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable
treatment for skin troubles of all kinds.
