QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Clive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
FOR IL years and calomeps old-tlme
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote Of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Ifyou have dark brown mouth -
bad breath-a dull, tired feeling-sick
headache-torpid DEMONSTRATION.
You'll find quick, sure and pleasant re.
suits from one or two of DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take them every night Just
to keep right. Try them. l5c and soc.

Do You Feel Tired
After Eating !?

A tired, nervous feeling may be a
sign of poisons in your system which
prevent proper digestion. Food turns
into more poison and gas, making you
nervous and weak. Simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc, as mixed in Adj
lerika, expels poisons and gas from
BOTH upper and lower bowel Re-
moves old matter you never thought
was in your system which poisoned

mon Baking Yeast


Thousands of weak, nervous. pale
and thin people are now taking yeast
the new way.
Instead Of eating ordinary baking
yeast, which is so disagreeable to
many, they are now taking it in pleas
ant table form, combined with organic
or vegetable iron, which is necessary
in order to get the best benefit from
yeast.
This great combination of TONES is
known as Ironized Yeast. Not only is
it more convenient to take than com
mon yeast, but it is far more effective,
for in Ironized Yeast you get the bene-
fit of two splendid health builders, in
stead of only one. Furthermore, IRON

ed brewers yeast, which i. much rich

WELLS RIVER
Wells River High Defeats McIndoes By
Score of IS to 8.

Wells River high journeyed on FRI
day evening to McIndoes, where they
took the tailenders of the Twin Coun-
ty league into camp by the one-sided'
score Of SIS to 0. The game was slow in
starting but the local boys made a
very fast contest and the game fin
ished very nearly on schedule time.
McIndoes at no time was dangerous.
In the first period they succeeded in
caging two baskets to Wells River
eight, while in the second they did not
make a point and shot very few times
for the basket Wells River scored Is
points in this period. By the good work
Of Robinson, McIndoes came through
with two more scores in the last pc
Rod and one point from fouls while
the local boys were making total OF
SIS points. Cameron, as back, played
the game Of his life, bringing the ball
time after time through the floor to
his end of the hall. The team repre-
senting McIndoes is young and inexpe-
rienced and has no actual support
from the townspeople. Another year
this team should develop into one that
win give their opponents some oppo-
sition. Kirk, who refereed the game,
did excellent work and had the game
in hand at all times. On Wednesday
last Newbury defeated Groton at New
bury, while Pcacham won from Brad
ford at Peacham on Friday. The
Peacham- Bradford game was hard
fought and the victory was clearly
won by Peacham. This makes q tie

wrapped in many clothes to shield
her from the singing cold, Mrs.
Harry Heller, who was with her hus-
band, Forest Ranger Harry Heller,
at Pine, was transported in stages
to Caldwell, where she is now receiv-

The first five miles of the journey
was made over a precipitious noun
tain trail, made doubly dangerous on
account of the heavy drifts of snow.
The sled on which the sick woman
lay was drawn by her husband and
another man, who took turns buck
ing the heavy snow drifts which
sought to retard their progress.
When they at last got to the road
she was loaded into a sleigh and
later, when the snow decreased in
depth, to Concord stage, which car
ried her to Dixie. From there she
was taken to Mountain Home, where

SCHOOLING THE CABINET

Even a cabinet must go to school
so why should it surprise anyone tf
read about last Thursdays session
at Washington, at which Charles
Evans Hughes, secretary of state
posed as professor, lecturing upon
the foreign affairs of the United
States?
A remarkable institution is the
cabinet of the United States. that
group OF men which shapes, or has
the largest share in shaping, the ma
tons policies. Each man is a de-
partmental specialist, yet each man
must also have a general knowledge
OF the whole nations affairs in
order to pass upon their relation to
his department or to vote intelli-
gently If decision is required.
Each of these men is responsible
to the president for the conduct of
his department and, in a smaller de-
gree, for his advice on other mat
tiers, but the president alone is re-
sponsible to the people for the con-
duct of the whole executive struc-
tire. -.
Naturally new cabinet members
must explain to each other and to
the president the matters Of most i'm
portance in their several departments
each becoming professor in turn.
And most of all, the secretary Of
state, the premier" must 20 into
the details of our foreign relations.
because they, more than anything
else, affect all the departments.
They, too, just at this time, are the
most important problems of the ma
t1onal government, a government
which, even in more normal times.
IS sometimes called the foreign re-
atlons branch" of the United States.
since so much of the internal gov
is in the hands of the states
md municipalities, the foreign af-
airs alone being completely dele
gated to the federal government.
1t is very proper, therefore. that
he secretary of state should act as
Professor in Mr.. Hardings cabinet
ust now and instruct his associates
IN international affairs. - Idaho
