The New Silks of Fashion
And Their Beauty and Their GZ0rv

TNHE season of 1919-1s2o will be remembered as
a Silk Season in Fashion.
The whole favor of Fashion leans to silks.
There are more silks worn in America today than
ever before. There more silks worn in America
than in any other country in the world. Every
woman and every girl must have at least silk
Dress
And men are wearing silks more than be-
fore. The charm and the comfort of the silk shirt
irresistible.
All things considered, it is wise fashion
for silks economical
1t is true that silk sells for almost twice
much today it formerly did, but our fine silks
have by made such advance.
Low-grade cheap silks everywhere had to be
practically doubled in price, but the advance in the
price of fine silks such as we sell is not proportionate
to the advance of the price of raw silks.
In fact, the advances in the price of fine silks
have not been proportionate with advances in cotton
and wool fabrics.
Silks, good Silks are still economical. They are
proportionately the most economical of all wearing
fabrics.
Buy good, sound, full-bodied silks today and you
buy we'll
But by all means be sure you buy your silks only
in store you trust Dot not buy cheap silks,
do not buy Seconds" of Silks do not buy "jobs' of
silks.
In the wanamaker Silk Store you are protected
from all these things.

the Moment Is Satin

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHaImless 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 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 calomel. They 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. tits 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
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "cleaI" clouded

all political ills. Perhaps it was
well enough to try the experiment Of
