BETTER THAN CALOM1
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel--are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect IN 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 teeth2 Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. it is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come fir n constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'logy" and
..heavy." They clear clouded brain

KEYPORT SCHOOLS NOT TO
CLOSE OWING To SICKNESS

81 Special correspondent.
KEYPORT, Feb. 9:-Although the
attendance is small at the local
schools, according to information re-
ceived from Professor w. e. Bilder-
back, the supervising principal. the
schools will not be closed because OF
the epidemic of sickness which is now
sweeping the borough. The Illness
among the children seems to be prin-
cipally bad colds, measles, %whooping
cough and grip and few cases of in
fuenza are reported.
Should the schools be closed at
this time it would be necessary to
make up the lost time at the close
OF the year and the attendance Is not
small enough at this time to warrant
the closing of the schools here. On
Thursday and Friday there was no
school owing to the inability of many
of the pupils to reach the schools
and these two days will be made up
at the close of the term.
