Quick Relief From
Constipation

Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
That is the JOYFUL cry of thou.
sands since DIR. Edwards produced
Olive Tablets, the substitute for
calomel.,
DR.. Edwards, a practicing phy-
sician for II years and caIome's
old-time eneIry, discovered the
formula for Olive Tablets while
treating patients for chronic con-
sfipation and torpid Iivers.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets do
not contain caion,el, but a healing,
soothing vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of
these little suGGr.coated, oiive-coI-
ored tablets. They cause the bowels
and liver TO act normally. They
never force them to unnatural ac-
tion.
If you have dark brown
mouth'-bad brea;h-a- dull, tired
feeling-sick headache-torpid liver
constipation, you'll find quick, sure
and pleasant results from one or
two of DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
at bedtime
Thousands take them every night
just to keep right. Try them. I5c

MAY MOLLIFY GAS USER.

In a letter to the Public Utilities
Commission, c. Melvin Sharpe of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
expresses the belief that many Of the
differences which arise between the
gas company and consumers over
bills might be avoided by instructing
householders how to read a gas meter.
The Washington Gas Light Company
formerly printed on its billheads a
chart showing how a meter is read
Mr.. Sharpe suggests that this practice
be resumed. Officials of the company
said today that they would consider
the suggestion.

Shall We Brush Our Teethf

Some pretty competent dentists
have mustered courage in the past
few years to withhold their indorse-
ment or approval of. the practice Of
brushing the teeth as a part of the
regular personal toilet. I am proud
to take my stand with these brave
men, for it does call for extraordinary
moral courage for q practicing dem
tist to commit himself as an oppo-
nent Of the toothbrush, considering
the toothbrush drills in the primary
schools and the thirty years or more
of well-night universal Endorsement
the dentists have given the tooth
brush. 1 confess I'm a little weak
In my own position; because am still
uncertain whether it is beneficial or
detrimental or just useless for young
children to brush their teeth daily or
for mothers or nurses to brush the
baby teeth. OF course. it stands to
reason that II tooth brushing is worth
for the baby teeth, from the cutting
of the first tooth, than it is for the
teeth of an adult. Any dentist or
oral hygienist who purports to believe
that brushing saves the teeth, yet
fails to emphasize the Importance of
regular brushing for the primary
teeth, just doesn't mean anything to
me.
Granting it is necessary to brush
the child's teeth daily, or even the
adults teeth occasionally, what Is the
best dentifrice to use? In my judg-
ment, plain soap is the peer, If not

fuls of finely chopped raw onion. one

And do not despise housework
There is an enormous amount o!
beauty exercise to be gotten out OF
housework, if it is intelligently and
theoretically done. Sweeping. for In

but for the shoulders as well. If you
stand fairly straight while using the

Redhead-As your skin is so oily.
you will not be likely to oyerdo the
use of benZoin. The amount OF ben
zoin to be used depends upon its ac-
ton when dropped into the water. If
the water becomes milky with a drop
OF two. you have attained the proper
proportions. While benzoin Is an ex-
cellent atringent. it also has ten

But 1t would have to be used to excess
before it would produce this effect.
Betty-It depends upon the way
your mother feels about It whether
or not you should put up your hair.
As you are above the average size

Developing the Arms.

There is one way to develop the
arms. and that is by exercise. OF
course, il you are too fat, a reduc-
ton to proper weight will bring the
arms to better proportions. If you
are too thin, by gaining flesh you will
make the arms more shapely. But
if you are within ten pounds of your
proper weight and have not beautiful
arms, the only thing for you to do
is to exercise.
If you will play tennis almost
every day next summer, can prac-
tically promise you well rounded.
firm muscled. attractive arms at the
end of the season. If you do not
want 10 wait until next summer, as
you probably won't, you might try
indoor gymnasium work. with dumb
bells, Indian clubs and paraphernalia
like that.
If YOU have no gym and cannot
make up a class of enthusiasts among
your friends, you can do wonders by
yourself. if you will practice a few
exercises every day #a"+f
First, stand with the arms straight
out in front of you and the fists
clenched. draw back the hands to the
shoulders, Tightening the muscles
and resisting yourself as much as
possible. This is splendid for the

SEPARATE BLOUsEs OF BLACK
M ANNE RIrTENHOUsE.

Did they worry as much about their
| separate blouses In the sixteenth
century as they do in the twentieth
century.
Whatever age and cycle we remem-
ber in our own experience and that
Of others and older ones, there has
| constantly risen the same interro-
| cation, What kind Of blouse should
! I get2
No wonder the one-piece frock has
| been the standard OF dress since
1t is the easier way.
/ Yet, with the contrariness that is
ingrained, we turn to the suit and
the blouse, the separate skirt and
| the shirtwaist whenever the new
| season approaches. Then we begin
| to worry.
There are sensible women who in
sist that the only peaceful plan is to
wait until there Is enough money
collected together for the new suit
in order to buy sufficient blouses to
go with. it. and to order them at the
same time, have them fitted and put
in perfect condition. They avoid the
many mishaps. misfits, wrong waist
lines that come about through the
indiscriminate buying Of the separate
blouse when there are bargains or
when one is in a hurry and needs
something fresh or something new.
Oh. the mistakes we make under
such emergencies, and the money we
waste!
Now. today. at this hour. we are
offered the black blouse made in satin,
in duvetine, in heavy crepe.
1t is not tucked under the skirt.
That fashion would be impossible to-
follow with this new blouse. 1t is
not full except when it ends at the
lowest edge of the hips with a mas
sive girdle that pulls it in to the
figure.
When I left Paris the smart shops
were showing these garments in the
windows and women were crowding
in front of them. discussing their
possibilities and going inside to ask
the price and finger them and specu-
late on their suitability to American
life. Now the Americans over here
show their liking for them and con-
stantly ask where they can be gotten.
The sketch shows one of this kind.
1t is of heavy black crepe and is sug-
gestive of the days of the French
directoire. 1t puzzles those who are
accustomed to the full blouses, the
kind that flare at the hem or end at
the waistline. This has the air of
bodice that belongs to a frock. 1t
isn't. 1t can be bought as one buys
