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

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi.
tute for calomel - are 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 calcmel
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 injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calcmel. 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 calonel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards

Psalm $50: l. Praise We the Lord.
This is thoughtful Thanksgiving day.
America has not stood aloof. but has
cast In her lot with peoples struggling
for freedom. We have not been deaf
to the voice of God calling us to SER
vice. We are no longer an isolated
nation. From this day on Americas
destinies are bound up with those of
every nation on the earth. We have
achieved victorious and righteous
peace. Before us lies the work of re-
construction. Literally 1t will not be
reconstruction, not a social fabric
patched and mended, but new gar

humanity. The tasks of today will be
guided by no precedent. We enter a
new era In the development Of human

New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth.
We must upward then and onward,

GRANDMOTHER WAS
THE DRUGGIST

In the early days of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and
her drugs consisted mostly OF roots
and herbs gathered from the fields
and forests. There was peppermint
for indigestion, mullen for coughs,
skull-cap for nervousness, thorough
wort for colds, wormwood for bruises
and sprains and so on. They were
successful remedies, too. It was from
a combination of such roots and herbs
that Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham Of Lynn,
Mass, more than forty years ago,
originated her now famous Vegetable
Compound; and during all these long
years no other remedy has ever been
discovered to restore health to ailing
women SO successfully as this good
old-fashioned root and herb medicine.

Gratitude For Men Who Haze Won
Should Govern Thanksgiving

Foch and Pershing, who were not
seeking honor and personal advantage
and whose unselfish spirit We should
emulate.
Give thanks for the brave boys who
themselves, but died that the new day
might dawn. Give thanks for all the
men and women, boys and girls who
deemed themselves and with patriotic
zeal contributed to the victory by
their industry, their frugality and SER
vice. Thank God for the loving hearts
and willing hands that have labored
under the Red Cross. All these are
worthy to be citizens in the new era.
Let us be more personal, and give
thanks for our own home folks. To-
day l am privileged to be at the old
home and enjoy a regular Thanks
giving dinner with all the FILINGS. But
that which makes the feast is not the
food, but the love in the home. Very
tasteless it would all be in an empty
house. We are building world
where all homes are safe and sacred.
There is one alone worthy to lead
in the building of this new govern
ment. He belongs to us all, citizen
Of the world and brother of men. He
is wise and brave and kind and should
be in every home and every heart on
this Thanksgiving Day:
mot the Christ of our subtle creeds,
But the Lord of our hearts, of our
homes,
OF our hopes, our prayers, our needs.
The brother of wan and blame,
The lover of women and men,
With a passion that puts to shame
All passions Of mortal ken"
