Features Plot Interest.

Plot interest in What Love For.
gives" at. the Dixie today is stronger
than the interest in the cast. John
Bowers is introduced as David Knox
Endicott, a young man with con-
science. He Is born and bred in a
New England home, and most careful
ly reared by his mother. The latter is
astounded to find genius for song
writing breaking out in her son, and
urges him to forsake the frivolous,
popular style OF songs for more seri-
Gus work. David then writes song
from which the story takes its name,
what Love Forgives." He is induced
by some college boys to play it one
night in the theatre for an actress in
the Blue Moon company, named Dor
lothy Deal. He does this reluctantly,
and afterward meets the actress, who
proceeds to draw him into intimate
relations with herself. She later lays
" moral claim upon David, after he has
fallen in love with another girl, but
her Matchmaking tactics are Of no
avail. The situations in this are rath-
er broad.
Barbara Castleton is starring in this
production also. In addition to the
drama, the management is showing a
Harold Lloyd comedy.

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

DR.. Edwards Olive Ta5lets-thc substi.
tute for calomel - ere a 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 celomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive.cclored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that caloracl does, but have no BID after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calorTel. They take hold
of the trouble end quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Caloniel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take caiornel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

second, to adopt qualifying resolutions,

so that the total amount figures out that
the towns are entitled to $40 mile,
but this work must be done in one piece
of road, that is to say, if town gets
