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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-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 calomel does, but have nc
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. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and
heavy" They clear" clouded brain
and "perk up" the spirits, l0c and 25c.

ARDMORE TRAYELIN c
PUBLIC UR GED TO
ATTEND THE HEARIN c

1--WE have been working for several
months to bring the proposition to Sc
cure setout Pullman service between
Ardmore and Oklahoma City to a def
mite issue, and now that the corporation
commission has arranged for hear
ing in Ardmore on December S-a week
from this Monday-we hope that inter-
ested parties will consider it a matter
of their own particular business to pre-
pare testimony and be ready TO give it
at the hearing" said Secretary Paul
b. Smith of the Chamber of Commerce
Saturday in discussing the order of the
corporation commission for a hearing
OF the Ardmore. .to. Oklahoma City Pull
man service.
I'VE fully realize the importance of
securing this service" he continued,
"and we all say we want it very, very
much But how many will actually
help to secure data and facts that will
serve as real evidence before the Com
mission?
"The commission cannot act on hear
say or enthusiasm. The commission
must have facts and have them of re-
cord The only way to accomplish that
end is for individuals who are armed
with such facts to appear and give tes'
timony
so, if we want this set-out Pullman
service as much as we say we want it,
we will be on hand at the hearing ready
to do our part even il it takes u little
time from our own private business.

The romance of Antony and Cleo

fairs of history. In dusty and an
tiquated volume of Plutarch the 9th
er day /, by chance, came upon this
description of the events leading up
to that, sweet and touching affair
damour.
"But the tents were scarce well put
up when Mithridates came up to the
royal party and informed Antony that
the Salvation Army has arranged for
the showing of moving pictures in
the commisary tent that evening.
! Turning to his generals, Antony saia
Gentlemen, shall we honor this per-
Torrance with our presence?"
ut was agreed then, that the par

| Cleopatra, who, although he was in
ignorance of it at that time, was to
play such part in the life of An
tony.
From the time she came upon the
screen Antony was enthralled by the
grace and beauty OF Cleopatra, and
determined ere another day had pass
ed to send her proof of his admira-
ton in some form or other Though
there was no man of his time like
him for addressing a multitude, or
for carrying soldiers with him by the
force OF words, yet oul Of the fullness
and delight of his heart he could not
find it poss bic to speak himself, so
he employed Domitius Aenobarbus TO

MIR. ARMOUR ON PRICES.

I. OGDEN ARMOUR told ST. Paul interviewer
Tuesday that the crest in the high cost Of living had
been reached and that from now on prices will decline
This applies in his opinion not only to the products Of
the packing houses but to all other things that the people
consume and use.
There no higher authority on this particular subject
than MIR. Armour. Economists and bankers may know
more about commercial GIBBS and flows and the history Of
prices as shown in those curious and just now highly inter-
estng tabuations called Index Numbers but there is no
one who can equaEr Armour in his knowledge of what
for want Of better name may be called spot prices. Mr.
Armour knows where the law of supply and demand the
tug due to our faulty system of distribution and the other
perfectly legitimate influences upon prices end and The in
Auence Of pure greed begins And this knowledge that
he shares with only few other people.
When Mr.. ]. Ogden Armour says prices are going to
come down considerably perfectly willing to take
his word for it But we expect to adhere to that frame
Of mind only SO long the Department of Justice and the
legal departments Of the states show signs of being very
much interested in prices and marketing methods If the
Attorney General keeps right after the pro6teers and makes
it understood thoroughly by his ubordates that he wants
the laws enforced, Mr. Armour the packers generally and
The other higher ups in the profteerng will to it that
nothing inerferses with natural price tendencies Then,
maybe for the first time in good many years, the people
Of this country will have chance to find out what this law
Of supply and demand which Senator Reed and few
other gentlemen in that body talk about Familiarity every
time fight is started on the packers really is.

advocates of substantial retention of the present system
of administering justice in the army General Organ
saw great deal of hard service on the other side and
he had to deal with men of many types although at
the beginning they all volunteers, and therefore
his testimony is worth great deal more than is that
of some Of the guard officers who think the army JUS
