DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-thc sabsti.

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 iniure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct II. Why

BARRETT RETURNS

Vermont Scientist Collected in the
Tropics Cocoanut Shells for United
States Gas Masks.

Rutland, Jan. 2--Otis W. Barrett
who has been with the United States
Department of Agriculture since 1901
as an expert in horticulture, is at his
home in Clarendon for the holidays,
after a FIVE months trip to the East
Indies to gather cocoanut shells for
making gas masks. Mr. Barrett, who
is graduate of the University OF Yer
mont. has devoted all his life since
leaving college to agricultural work,
especially in the tropics and this has
taken him to various parts of the
globe. Mrs. Barrett, who was Bur

collected by the Vermont man and
his assistants. He left a man ia the
Philippines to look after the collection
there and then went to Singapore,
among other places. The shells were
burned and stripped as charcoal. this
method saving space on shipboard and
many thousands of dollars in freight.
The shells were carbonized in brick
ovens and many other contriyances,
but the method most approved by
Uncle Sam and one which was taught
the planters by government agents un'

burn them in trenches covered with
roofing tin. By this means the cocoa
nut coverings could be reduced to
charcoal in about one-sixth of the time
consumed by old style processes.
