BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
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 1t brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble ard quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teetha
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let Or. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and

HUMAN ORGANS
MADE INTO PICTURES
X.RAY OUTDONE
(By l.. ". Bower, NJ. d.

|
A recent issue of the British Medca
journal explains u remarkable discov
cry of DIR. james Scherer, and describes
new process of photography by which
an abscess OF the liver or the kidneys
can be photographed from living pa
tients. This will be invaluable because
so many people suffer from kidney dis
ease, and IL il can be recognized in time
they, no doubt, can be saved and life
prolonged. Such photographs as can be
obtained by this new process will show
whether there is Il blockade in the intes-
tines or not, whether the kidneys are
normal and able to do the great burden
put upon them.
Unfortunately what the liver can't
take care of passes on TO the kidneys,
and the intimate relation between the
two often causes n disease of the kid
neys. One of the poisons retained within
the system is uric acid in excess.
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from she blood.
The danger signals are backache, de-
prcssions, aches and pains, heaviness,
drowsness, irritability, headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen joints
or govt.
This can be avoided by stimulating
the kidneys to increased action, and be-
cause of its tonic effect on this organ |
would advise anyone to purchase Anuric
(which is TO be had nowadays at almost
any drug store, and take it three times
a day, together with a pint of hot water,
an hour before meals By getting rid of
the uric acid, you can prevent and cure
govt, and the pains and
aches due TO this uric acid stored within
the system.
have found in practice that Anuric
double strength is more potent than
lithia and in most cases it will dissolve
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.

Geography and the State University.

Election being safely passed. the dear old
Lincoln Journal returns to its favorite sport of
carping at Omaha. This time, noting the fact
that the two newly elected regents of the Uni
versity of Nebraska have their homes in the
metropos,Nt bemoans the sad fate of the west
end of Nebraska, left without representation on
the board. That of course, is too bad. The
Journal admits that the Omaha men are "ideal
in every respect aside from geography" It
lightly touches on the fact that three of the
six regents live in Lancaster county; that is as
it should be, to be sure; in order to exactly
preserve the balance Omaha ought to have one,
the west end of the state one, the central por-
ton one and Lincoln the other three. Omaha
furnishes considerable portion Of the student
body and assumes its proportional share of ex-
pense of maintaining the university and might
be justified in suggesting that the number of
regents allotted to Lancaster county is not in
ratio. If the Journal sincerely believes that so
great an injustice has been done the western
part of the state, it might cali on one OF its
home guard to sacrifice himself until such time
as the voters can right the matter As for the
University of Nebraska, it is in no danger what
ever because two of its governing board come
from Omaha.

Disfranchisement in the South.

correspondent asks if there is no way by
which the southern states can be compelled to
adopt the universal suffrage, the same as in the
north. Not so long as the states have the fun
damentalsright of regulating the ballot Gen.
eral terms of the federal constitution are osten-
sibly complied with throughout the south, but
peculiar provisions have been adopted to defeat
the spirit of the law. In most of the offending
states an educational or property qualification
is sufficient to withhold the vote from large
proportion of the otherwise legally fitted vot-
ers. In various ways the voting privilege is re-
stricted, and none Of these is likely to be aban-
doned unless more efficient substitute can be
provided, so long as the existing oligarchy con-
tinues to rule in that section. The change will
come when the democratic leaders of the south
become ashamed of their present tactics, and
not before.

Public Opinion Only.

Omaha, Nov. 9.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Is there any law which
would reach those who were respon-,
sible for the false news reports on
peace this week? The sale of the
papers amounted to receiving money
under false pretenses, to say nothing
OF the other serious phases of the
situation. l consider that the dis
tr1butien OF such news was unpatri-
otic; 1t was crime. The Associated
Press service which The Bee receives
certainly has risen in the estimation
OF the people. And I have been
wondering how long-how long, o
Lord--will the people continue to
patronize such an unreliable sheet
as the one at Seventeenth and Jack
son streets, with its fake extras
about peace. If l mistake not. the
people are gradually beginning to
realize that the local sheet that
pirates so much about reform in mu-
nlcipal state and national govern
ment is merely prating for so much
prate. Everything in the office
OF this sheet Is measured with
yardstick which is marked with dol
lar signs. There should be a law
to reach these culprits, and 1t seems
to me that honorable publishers
should not allow these debauchers
OF news to go UNPUBLISHED.
