DATE INDEFINITE.

II de not know when the first ses-
sion will be held. as tho delegates are
having some difficulty with their pass
ports. So far, the United States has

nations. including Russia and the cen
trail powers, to participate IN drafting

the peace conference. We have re-
ceived the most cordial intimations
that our decisions will be received
with interest by tho peace delegates.

BAD BREATH
DR., Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove 1t

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work,
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by
all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gem
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits OF nasty, &ckening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping. painor any ~disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.
Take one or two every night for a week
and note the effect. l0c and sc.
