KATHERINE BLAKE.

Katherine Blake was the wife of William Blake, the artist, and came of very humble parentage. The artist fell in love with her and married her after she posed for a picture. Kath- crime became her husbands most ar dent admirer. A curious characteristic of her was that she despised finery and pleasant company, preferring that of her husband alone. She af- fected the ugliest of clothes, despite her great artistic taste. This she did
 in order not to attract the attentions
 of other men. She was at her hus- bands bedside when he died in 1928, and followed him to the grave in a
 short time. It Is generally believed | that broken heart, caused by her 1 husbands death' brought about her end.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmleSS Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-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's 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 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 it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomei 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.
