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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are tn 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? Calomel
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, dizziness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'logy" and
heavy" They clear" clouded brain
and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and Doc.

MANUFACTURERS AND UNION La' ROR HAVE "GR0UP MARKET
 INGr-FARMERS DO NOT

great deal is being said about the cnt in wages in the industrial world these cuts usually being around lo or 20 per cent
 The farmer. on the ohter hand, has had cut of 5O to 66 2-3 per cent Ill tbe value of his products, and this has ;n some cases wiped out practically all wages for labor. For example, short time ago Dr. W. w Long, ot vice, said
 Recently, in urging increased acre age in cover crops to enrich our soils, I pointed out that fertilizer bills would total S5OOO0,000, and that it would take 67O.0OO bales at 15 cents to pay fhis fertilizer bill This last figure is over 90 per cent of the crop to pay the fertilizer bill alone. Add to this O.OOO bales to pay for picking and 6OOO0 bales to pay for ginning, and we have total of 910oo0 bales, ar g3 per cent of the estimated yield.
 Wartime wages of industrial la Dor climed higher than wages of farm labor, and yet industrial labor, as q rule. has its wages cut only l3 to 2o per cent. and farm labor two to three times as much
 Why this discrimination: One of the chief reasons is that industrial labor has cooperative marketing et the only thing it has for sale the daily labor of it's members. The far mer sells what he has to sell indiNidn- ally.
 We need always to keep in mind the truth which MT George w. Rus sell. of the Irish Homestead. has to often pointed out namely, that la- bor union iS really cooperative ma rketing associations II sells the one thing which the town workers have to sell. the'r labor and gets the best possible price for it
 Of course. il k plain enough. aS we are saying elsewhere, lhat while the farmer sells ind vidually the manr- facturing world has group marketing. One single agency not only sells the product of several hundred or several thousand laborcrS in q factory. hut often of several factories possibly several dozens. >cor,'>. ar hundreds of factories The farmei k thr only man st.ll doing his marketing u> Adam did -each individual farmer attempting to market for himself what hc has tz sell.

don't know any more about poetry than porcupine knows about Para- disc. If you'd stand up and recite few pages from mail-order catalogue I have no doubt you'd put the proper feeling into it, and move your audi ence to tears, but it's crime for man like you to mangle a beautiIui poem, full of sentiment and melody.
 "There ought to be law against that sort of thing. Some of the best poems in the country have been ruined by common or garden elocutionists' Nowadays people smile when you mention 'Curfew Must Not Ring To night It has been recited so much by people with cracked voices that II has become q joke. Yet if you exam inc the poem calmly and impartially you will find that it has great deal of merit.
 Tn the schools the pupils are per mitted to reeite some Of our pest poems. and the poems aren't lit Tor anything after it. The school author 1ties should prohibit this sort of thing, and prepare Il volume of cheap asoes- tos poetry that is fool proof, that can't he iniured. no matter what you do to 1t. There is plenty of punk poetry Tn the world, and collection or thls stnff would serve the sch0olboy eio- cutionists just as well as the high class poetry that is so easily spoiled.
 .When I went to school, about hundred years ago, there was a taii, freckled. gangling boy, who talked through his nose, with a sort of whine that sounded like filing saw. There was to he a school entertainment, ana this boy was down for recitation. The teacher never asked him what he was going to recite, but gave him the right of way. Teachers continue to make the same mistake, even as we go to press. They should choose the poems which are to be butchered to make Roman holiday and select something that won't rip, ravel or run down at the heel.
 ..This boy stood up before the school and droned through Gray's Eiegy.' Now that's one of the best rhymes ever composed. It was written by iourneyman poet who put in seven years at It. in the time when they had ten-hour days He wanted to leave behind him a poem that would stand the severest tests of the government inspectors. and he did. In my opinion there is nothing better in any lan- guage. It is rather melancholy, but It has a sort of doggone soothing quail ity that is balm to the bruised spirit of a landlord when he finds that the receiptS of his hotel don't equal the | expenses.
 "Timc and again. when discouraged and played out, have started to read that poem. and as soon as I get falr- lv into if. I seem to see that blamed eangling schoolboy, in his high-water garments. and hear him droning through those verses, making a noise like a Sawmill on wet day. US more than forty years since he made violent assault upon the Elegy. but if seems like yesterday. It's the same way with Hamlet's 'Soliloquy.' Every time I hear or see that gem think or a fat youth who recited it In our school. and then burst into tears.

 While she was gone the girl said : Have you ever seen such an ugly creature? Why, the toad was beauti- fuI company compared to her, and so was Mrs. Gnome, with her wrinEled face and her skinny body

 'Sorry.' said Mrs. Wood Elf, I'd do great deal to ohlige you, but that cant be done.
 Why not?' asked the girl
 ".Because every one has to first find the House of Secrets himself without any help from folks who know the way. We may direct him and tell him which way 10 turn, hut he has to follow the road and travel along it without our help.
