PEACE MAKING
ROLE FOR JUDGE
It's Not Always Sentences and Fines
That Judge McNamara in
Superior Court Has to


Sentences and pleas Of guilty do
not always figure in cases which are
heard in the superior court.
Family troubles are frequently
taken to Judge w. L. Mcnamara,
and instead of defendant stand up
and be sentenced" the court tries
to get to the root of the matter, and
to bring about an amicable agree
ment If possible.
A case in point was one that came
up yesterday. A young man and a
young woman appeared in court. The
woman was bride Of few months,
and she was facing her husband
against whom charge Of desert1on
was about to be filed.
There seemed to be little or no
reason back OF the charge, so Judge
Mcnamara acting in the role Of
peace maker, secured their promises
to try life over again, and they de-
parted hand in hand to try once
more.

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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tabets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calone does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
-Ihey take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR. Edwards Olive
