THE GRAY WOLF.

"My beautiful children" said the
mother gray wolf, as she looked at her
young and taught them the ways of
the great world into which they would
soon have to go by themselves for adj
ventures.
You must heed me while l tell you
OF hunting and of the ways Of escape"
said Mother Wolf.
They listened politely but they
thought to themselves, Poor old moth
er, she is growing old. She does NOT
know as much as we do. We are young
and brave and we want wild escapes
from dangers. We will listen to her
because she is old, but we will do as
we like"
But the mother told them of the
things she had learned through expe-
riences and adventures. and shc taught
them the lessons all wolves must
Know.
She thought her children were going
to be perfect and that they would not
have some of the narrow escapes she
had had. The little wolf who thought

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for caioTlel, act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edward3' Olive Tablets act gently
but fry CT the bowels and liver,
stimulating tom to natural action,
clearing Che Blood and gently purifying
the entire sycecrl. They do that which
dangerous ,C2ia-lel does without any
Of the I'D alter effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
griping cathGrtics are derived from DR..
Edwards Give Tablets without gripping,
pain or any dicaGrecable effects.
D.. T. II Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tee among patients afflicted with
bowel ard liver complaint with the
attendant bad breath.
DR.. Edwards Give Tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
color. TaI1c che or two every night for
week aad note the effect. 1Oc and 25c
per box. All druggists.

A Useful Institution.

The scope Of the work done at the
state laboratory Of hygiene, BurHng-
ton, i indicated by the report of DR..
b. II. Stone to the effect that 1905
examinations wcro made during the
year Just closed. These examinations
We're Of greatly varied nature, incmd-
ing water, milk and host of other
things submitted to the chemists for
analysis and report
The institution is one of the most
useful rs well as the most modern in
the country, as we understand. In this
day and generation certainly it is one
that cannot be dispensed with. for san
itation and purity are ''in the saddle =
as never before.
One highly satisfactory feature of
the laboratory is that its analyses
| are depended upon by the public at
large as being accurate and reliable.
! Expert opinion on diametrically oppo-
! site lines can easily be secured from
| private practitioners, including medic
iners, hand writing experts, toxicolo-
gists and all the rest, but the Vermont
state laboratory IS, as far as is known
absolutely independent of any sinister
influence Its findings are untainted
At least, no evidence to the contrary
that would have any weight with a
thinking person, has ever been adduced
TO our knowledge.

the finest we can get in the real coun-

Mother Wolf smaclled her lips and
showed her great strong teeth. And
her eyes looked wild and her face very
cruel.
The children began to feel that their
