The true stuff that is in the aver

The hour comes when he suddenly
quits all foolishness and horseplay
with his fellows and settles down to a
lot Of sober thinking.
Far from being the rough, careless
fellow that his life back Of the lines

young man with clean heart and mo-

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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substis
tute for calomel - are mild but surc
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 calcn1el. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeths
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.

SHOOTERS USED GLASS BALLS
Trapshooting Of Today Differs Mate
rally From That Sport of
Days Gone BY.

Back in the early eighties, when
American sportsmen began to demand
a between season outlet for their gum
ming enthusiasm, some bright genius
conceived the idea of the glass ball as
fitting target to try the prowess Of
the marksman, and the object was
projected at unknown angles from a
mechanical contrivance known as q
trap.
The name of Bogardus, in connec-
ton with glass-ball shooting, is not
only historical, but still alive and DOM
inant in the "reminiscences of old
timers, goodly percentage Of whom
still follow the trapshoOting sport.
Trapshooting today, however, differs
materially from that sport Of bygone
days; the traps are more scientifically
constructed, the target, instead Of be-
Ing globular in form, is saucer-shaped,
and besides covering it's 50-yard flight
with the speed of an arrow, rOtates as
well.
1t has become customary for writer's
to refer to the clay pigeons as "the in
animate target" So long as they re-
main packed in barrels or stacked in
the traphouse this is quite proper But
were you to ask any of the 100000
active trap shooters in the country for
his personal opinion he would unhesi-
tatingly say that Immediately follow
ing its release from the trap 1t be-
comes just about as animated as devil
fish ingenuity could conceive.
