Better Than CalomeI
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for caiomeI-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
On the liver is almost instantaneous.
They are the result of DIR. Edwards
determination not TO treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomeI. His
Efforts to Danish it brought out
these little Olive-Coiored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that CalOmei does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't iniure
the teeth like strong liquids or cal.
Onlel. They take hold of the trouble
and. quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth :?
CalomeI sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best net TO take caiomel, but to
let DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets take
its place.
Most headaches, "duIlness" and
that lazy feeling come from con-
stipation and a disordered liver.
Take DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel doggy" and "heavy."
Note how they "clear" ciouded brain
and. how they "perk up" the spirits.

Islands in Caribbean Explained.

PANAMA, Monday, April THE
recent rumor that the United States
might obtain title to the islands of
St Andrews and Old Providence, in
the Caribbean. of the Nicaraguan
coast. had its origin in the unoffi-
efally expressed wish of Hoffman
Philip, United States minister at Bo-
gotta, that the islands might be
leased. according to statement made
by Santiago Herras. fiscal agent of
Colombia, while visiting the islands
recently He said that no such ac-
tion ka- been taken as yet, and that
nothing could be done until the
Colombian congress revises the con-
stitution. which forbids the aliena-
tion of national possessions.
ST. Andrews and Old Providence
islands lie in the Caribbean, to the
north-northeast of Colon, the At
lantic terminus of the PANAMA canal
Some time ago there was a report
that the United States might secure
the islands from Colombia and forti-
fy them as defenses for the canal.
The islands, which include a number
of small Gays, are quite fertile, and
in 1900 had a population of 5000.

obtain such ratification with re-

When as faithful friend of the treaty

without weakening the covenant
the President should be well pleased
