BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr., Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets--the substi. ute for calonel -- 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 banisf 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 calonel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Galonel 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.
 Most headaches, 'dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and 2 disordereo liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Taflcrs when you feel "loggy'' and heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded rain and ho,v they tperll up'' the spirits.

Country club time is here, and also
the time for Country Club clothes,

sometimes worn with a matching skirt

as riding habits, these coats have TAX

silk Baronette satin is used for
many OF the separate skirts, and with
these fascinating skirts are worn thin
waists OF Georgette crepe. silk crepe
or yoile. Afternoon dresses OF the
more formal variety are made OF
GeoIrgette crepe, or satin. With these
-costumes, the cape's the thing, made
OF satin or heavy silk. and hat with
a sheer brim, perhaps OF Georgette
crepe or chiffon. Then, too, organdie
dresses and their accompanying or
candle hats are very much the vogue
for afternoon wear. Some OF these
dainty frocks have hemstitching in
the waist and skirt. forming an intri-
cate design, the only trimming deem
ed necessary. Ruffles. however. are
ever dear to the heart Of the summer
girl, and are in no wise neglected
