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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
sttute for calomel-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? Calornel
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, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a

GET READY TO TEACH

Daytona Journal According to
present prospects there will be the
same emergency calls for teachers
next year as this year. In order that
there may be q body of recruits at
least partially trained for these po-
sitions, one of the leading educators
OF the country is urging that young
people who contemplate teaching next
year, or who have any aptitude for
IL should enroll for some one of the
brief summer normal courses in
which every state abounds, il they
can do no more than this by way Of
preparation.
The suggestion is a good one. The
shortage Of teachers has lead to an
influx of ill-prepared, ill-fitted per-
sons into the teaching force of al
most every community. This is bad
for the children who have these teach
ers, bad for the community and a
waste of the taxpayers money.
Most communities, recognizing the
need, have raised the wage scale Of
teachers to fairly decent proportions
II may be said now that the future
OF teaching is bright. both financially
and from the point of public appre-
citation This being true. the public
has a right to demand that these in
creased wages go 10 those who are
fitted TO earn them, and the embryo
teacher on the other hand, can well
afford TO fit himself for his job,
These brief summer normal courses
are not expensive, and they give very
practical intensive training in the
mechanics of teaching, and practice
in those methods OF instruction which
have been tried and found good by
experienced teachers. The suggestion
that our young men and women be
encouraged to take such courses is a
wise one, meriting the support of the
community, and the consideration of
the prospective teacher.

THE LAKELAND CENSUS

We are printing elsewhere letter
from Hon. A. p. Jordan, Supervisor
of Census from this district, in which
he discusses the figures given out as
to Lakeland population. Mr.. Jordan
should know-prObably does know
that nobody blames him for the dis
appointing figures. Everyone who
knows Mr.. Jordan, or who knows Of
him, is satisfied that so far as he
could control the work it was well
and faithfully done, and he did every
thing in his power to bring this about.
But, of course, when we are confront
ed by figures that are generally be-
lieved to be incorrect, it is natural to
assume that somebody fell down. or
that errors or omissions have oc-
Cured somewhere If this is the case
Mr. Jordan was as powerless to pre-
vent it as any other citizen, and there
is no intention to reflect on his Office
The contention of Mr.. Jordan that
the State enumerator took in too
much territory in his 1915 canvass, is
one of the first explanations that oc-
Cured to us; but this solution is up
set by the positive statement of Mr..
J. Everett Bryant that his returns for
1915 included only the population
within the corporate limits of Lake
land.
AS soon as the returns were an
nOunced, Congressman Drane wired
to Washington to have the figures re-
checked. A telegram to him today
states that this has been done and
that the figures were found absolutely
correct, so far as the Washington end
Of the work is concerned. The mes
sage added that written instructions
would follow, giving information as
to how recount might be secured
and how it should be conducted.
Now there isn't much use in abus-
ing people, or blaming anybody be-
cause the figures do not suit. 1t looks
like we're going to have recount
a thing that il is very unusual to
grant, but which may be given to US
on account of the influence of our
representatives at Washington. Let
us await this recount, and abide BY
1t. If 1t gives US what is generally
estimated to be our population, that
will be fine. If it shows that we really
have only seven to eight thousand
people, let us be content with the
conviction that we have the biggest
town in the country for that number
Of people.
