WHERE MEN HAVE FAILED.

Duluth News-Tribune: If women
now gain the ballot by one fell

attitude of the women of the north
toward the practical workings of the

women of the south? Having the
right to vote has by no means every

Contrast these states, north and
south, having about the same num-
Der of representatives in congress, as
to their votes in the last presidential
election: Alabama cast $4,000;
Georgia, 10000; North Carolina,
10000, and Virginia, 10000: while
Iowa cast 100000; Minnesota, $780,
600; Wisconsin, $4,000, and Indiana,
$3.50
Mississippi has eight representa-

Carolina has seven. Each cast about
$4,000 votes. But North and South
Dakota each have but three repre-

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarnless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets the substi.
ttute for calomel - are a mild but cure
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-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 calomel. 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. It is 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
