fore the campaign is over. Graduate
registered nurses between % and 40
years of age. who have had at least
two years experience in a hospital,

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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
ttIte for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver s
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DIR. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little oive-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. 1t Is best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place. 3
Most headaches, 'dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a dsordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy' and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded
brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits.

ON MISSING THINGS.

] believe we lose n large, Won
derful part of life by brooding
over lot of the things which We
imagine We ought to have or that
we feel We have been cheated out Of
One of the surest WAYS to grow
unhappy Is TO start missing things
And one of the surest ways to grow
happy is to discover new things.
For. as the new things are dis
covered. somehow We seem to
automatically forget the things
we thought We missed Don't YOU
find it this way? ! do
never have met human be-
ing who didn't confess that he
had missed a lot And who didn't
! have q dictionary Of disappoint-
/ ments about him somewhere
I But the beautiful part Of life
I is in its compensations. II was
: meant that way by the very wise
Planner of All.
1t is a good plan TO trip your
! self up every ONCE IN while.
Just TO learn that you really have
legs TO stand upon.
Ii is fine thing to get black
/ eye occasionally, just 50 that YOU
! NAV the better see next time.
And just remember this. Most
of the things that you SO much
: miss, you probably would not
! know how to appreciate anyway.
So go ahead and live wisely off
Of what you have. And get busy
in getting more. Then give that
away.
