In MEMORlAM.

In loving remembrance of our dear
son and brother. Clyde Douglas
Grayson Marker, whose young life
ended so sadly one year ago today.
Only a few weeks had elapsed since
his return from answering his coun-
try's call. So full of life, looking
forward with joyful anticipation to
the fulhllment of many plans for the
future. this dear son and brother
was so ruthlessly torn from all that
life held dear to sleep in an untimely
grave.
He has gone TO the grave, we no
longer behold thee,
Nor tread the rough paths of this
world by thy side,
But the Saviour hath passed through
its portals before thee,
And death hath no torrors, since
Jesus hath died.
And we who are left to- mourn his
tragic death can only bow our heads
in meek submission to Him who
doeth all things well.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oiD in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomal
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and heavy. "
Note how they clear clouded brain and
