Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive.colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teethlike
strong liquids or calomel. They take
holdof the trouble and quicklycorrectit.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. 1t
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

DEMOS FRANTIC;
RUSH RESERVES
IN LOSING RACE
Everything Sacrificed in Eff.
fort to Save Neville-More-
head Section of the
Slate.

In their eleventh-hour despera-
ton the scared democrats are rush.
ing reserves UP in an effort to save
the Morehead-Nev sector of their
disorganized lines. Their tactics
during the last few days indicate
that they intend to ditch all others
and stake everything on their sena-
torial and gubernatorial candidates.
In evidence of this the democratic
state committee is making specious
appeals on the basis of religion and
race sympathies. For instance, they
are still harping about a circular
which they charge upon Mr.. Nickel
vie, relating to the State Council of
Defense and the Lutherans. Not
withstanding that McKelvie denied
that he had anything to do with this
circular and challenged the demo-
Gratis to prove their assertions, the
democrats persist in their mendaci-
Gus charges.
Letters Proved Fakes.
McKelvie has stated repeatedly
that he has in his possession indu-
bitable evidence that letters which
appeared in newspapers of the
democratic machine were absolute
fakes.
The democrats have inveigled a
Bohemian who is On the state pay
roll to write an appeal to Bohemians
in behalf of the democratic candi-
dates. Members of the Douglas
county democratic committee know
that the Bohemians are naturally in
sympathy with the republican cause
at this election, and they are fully
cognizant OF the reasons which
prompt the Bohemians to support
republican candidates.
The democrats find themselves in
the most desperate situation they
have encountered in many years.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts If your
Back hurts or Bladder both
ers-Meat forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat
every day, eat it, but flush your
kidneys with salts occasionally,
says a noted authority who tells
US that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in
their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full Of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste
get four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take a table,
spoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late sluggish kidneys, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, and makes a delightful eff
fervescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
