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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calonel-are a 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 no
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, dizziness" and that lazy
. feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1ogy and
heavy" They clear" clouded brain
and 'perk I'D" the spirits. l0cand 25c.

at that without further electoral eff
fort on their part and the other side
dissatisfied and, with the usual persist
ence of the dissatisfied side, deciding
to voice that feeling of disapproval
The result was that the number of
nominal license towns was very largely
increased.
In such case we fail to note real
protest against national prohibition on
the part of Vermont as whole but
rather a display of pure, unadulterated
laziness on the part of a considerable
percentage of the voters That ANALYSIS
of the case may, of course, be wrong;

FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1920.
DR.. ELIOT ON LABOR.

DR. Charles W. Eliot, former presi-
dent of Harvard, must be acknowl- |
edged disinterested party in the dis
eussion of labor questions. He is not
a laborer nor an employer of labor.
He is trained student who can dis
cover the facts bearing on the ques-
ton without fear or favor. He can
search for the truth because he is not
benefited or harmed by it, because it
gives him the accuracy of true stu
dent. Therefore his ideas are of value.
He recently appeared before Mas
sachusetts legislative committee which
was considering petition for the APP
pointment of a special commission to
investigate hours of labor and allied
subjects. He declared that after years
of careful study of the labor question
he was unable "to arrive at any legiti-
mate conclusion concerning hours Of
labor and conditions of production re-
quired to produce the world IS necessi-
favored the appointment of a commits
sion to investigate the whole problem
of production and to present facts upon
which legislation may be based he was
firmly convinced it should not be a
tripartite commission but one of ex
perts alone. He further declared: "We
cannot fix satisfactorily by legislation
uniform hours of labor in all trades.
1t is quite impossible, with the infn-
iteIy diverse industries of the country
to arrive at any uniformity in that
respect"
In this last statement DR.. Eliot has
| plainly shown the inadvisability Of the
appointment of special commission to
consider this subject, at state expense.
Hours of labor is an industrial, not a
political problem. In the building
trade the builders know how much
labor is required and the top price the
industry will bear. They can lay be
fore labor the facts regarding the
amount of labor they can utilize and
the price they can afford to pay. Then
it is squarely up to labor to decide
whether it will supply that demand
or restrict building by insisting on i'm
possible demands The chances that il
will supply the demand would be much
greater if left to a decision by the
industrial interests involved than they
would be if labor was restrained by
law from accepting the industrial
terms and adapting itself to actua
conditions.
Labor will not approve law re
curing it to work and it should not b,
given a law that will maintain it il
dleness. The question is not in any
sense legal or political one and tn
sooner legislators realize this and leav,
the matter to the industrial Interests
to settle the sooner this country vii
be free from the unrest and destructive
lagencies of strikes. 1t is not the bust
ness of the government to bargain witt
labor or wealth. It's proper function
is TO give every man an equal oppor
tunity to earn living by his labo
and ability.
