;StorkS Race for College
EndoaUnaent of Hospital Babes

WHITTIER, Cal.-Belng born
with "a gold spoon in the mouth"
is a poor heritage compared to an
assured college education as a con-
soler for being brought into this vale
Of tears and the fighting chance.
SO Ellsworth Wilson and Mar
guerite Grace are doing their tiny
best to tell the world from the nurs-
cry OF the Murphy Memorial Hos
pital herei
When Col. Simon J. Murphy. Jr..
gave this city as a monument to his
parents and sister and brother, he
made provision that the first boy and
first girl to be born there should
each be endowed with sufficient
money to carry them through uni
versity as soon as they were old
enough.
This sum, said to be $1,000. will at
the end of is years, with accrued
interest. be sufficient to pay college
expenses for a period OF four years.
The storks had an exciting race
to deliver the first bundles of hui
manity in competing for the Muir
ply benefaction.
Ellsworth Murphy Wilson, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Wilson, of Los
Nietos. Cal. was the first boy to be
born in the hospital. He won by a
narrow margin.
Evening journal., 1921-08-02

Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph wheatley
had irrefutable information that a
visit from the stork was expected on
a certain Sunday. Mrs. Wheatly
was comfortably settled in Los
Angeles hospital when Mr.. wheaetly
learned Of the Murphy benefaction.
He rushed % the hospital to hurry
her TO Whittier, but found upon his
arrival triplet sons, all famishing
for a college education. and telling
the world in no uncertain tones how
they felt over losing out. Had the
stork been delayed three hours, the
Wheatly boys would each have been
provided with funds.
The following day Marguerite
Ellen Grace. daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles S. Grace. of Sanburg,
Cal, made her advent into the world
OF strife-and acquired a scholar
ship. There was competition there,
but Marguerite won out by several
hours.
Mrs. Grace was. before her mar
riage, a Whittier girl, and the citi-
zens Of Whittier, who were much
interested in the contest, are well
pleased that she was the winner.
Mothers and fathers Of both chill
dren are deeply grateful to Col.

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove 1t

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.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them TO natural action,
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, painor any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. NJ. 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 coloi.
Take one or two every night for a week
and note the effect.
