BURLINGTON MAN
MAY BE CHOSEN
Frank G. Pettbone Is Being Talked
of to Take Fiace Made Vacant
by Death Of E. P. Ripley
of the Santa Fe.

A Burlington man may succeed H.
P. Ripley as head of the Santa Fe. &C
cording to the Burlington Gazette:
From "call-boy" to vice president of
the Santa Fe railroad-that Is the
record established by Frank G. Petit
bone, @ Burlington boy, and brother or
Postmaster John H. Pettibone.
Since the death of e. p. Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe, and well
known in Burlington, the name OF
Frank Pettibone has been mentioned
frequently because he was one OF Mr..
Ripley's closest friends.
Mr.. Pettibone was born in Burling-
ton and spent his boyhood days in
this city. He started his railroad
career as a call boy. When a lad he
used to trail over the hills Of Burling-
ton and call out the railroad men for
their runs.
Years Of hard careful work, and his
ability as a railroad executive have
won him the position OF vice president
which he now holds. He received his
early training under T. J. Potter.
He not only holds the position OF
vice president Of the Santa Fe rail-
road, but is United States govern
ment railroad director and one OF the
leading railway officials in this coun-
try.
One OF the older citizens remarks
that Burlington has certainly contri-
b,1ted it's share and more Of the big
mem on the railroads. Most of the
residents Of Burlington are acquainted
with officials who started their rail-
reading In thia city.
Mr.. Petitioners headquarters are in
Dallas. Tex. and while he is far re-
moved from Burlington, he has many
friends here who take pride in his
success.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for 'calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by
all who know them.

clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.
