STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tones, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
sroI cause of the ailment - clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in soothing. healing way. When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
Stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief. SO you can eat what you like.

Old FOLKS NEED
%CASCARETS" FOR
LIVER, BOWELS
Salts, calomel, pills act on
bowels like pepper acts

Enjoy life! Don't stay bill
ious, sick headachy and
constipated.
Get q 1O-cent box now.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they suf-
fer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. It is just as nat
uraI as 1t is for old people TO walk
slowly. For age Is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as TO neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kent active. This is important at all
ages. but never so much as al fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But y lash cant be used
every day. What the bowels Of the old
need is a gontIe and natural tonic one
that can be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets
and they cost only 10 cents per box al
any drug store. They work while you
sleep.-Adv.

Supreme Court of
New York Upholds
Anti Boxing Law

NEW YORK. Feb. e.-Justic Hen
drick in the supreme court here yester-
day declared tho New York state anti
prize fighting law constitutional when
he dismissed a writ OF habeas corpus
obtained by a boxer who had been ar
rested for taking part in a bout to which
an admission fee had been charged. 1t
was claimed the boxer did not know the
audience had paid to see the exhibition.
When a man participates in spar
ming match it seems to me quite rea-
sonable to presume that he must know
whether he is giving the exhibition
gratis or whether he receives compen-
sation." declared Justice Hendriclz
"Sparring in itself is not inherently
wrong. The legislature has not under
taken TO declare it so. Nor is sparring
as an exhibition for money evil in itself.
But in the judgment of the legislature it
tends to corrupt the public morals. and
for that reason il is prohibited"
