BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets IA vegetable compound
mixed with olive oily in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and heavy"
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits. l5c and 30c a box.

A little boy was out helping his
father feed the chickens one day.
In the flock there was n beautiful
Plymouth Rock hen that caught his
eye. He admired it for moment and
then asked, Father, where did that
hen come FROM" The father replied
IAN egg Matched it," Where did that
egg come FROM" "A hen laid it.
Where did that hen come FROM
"An egg hatched it, Where did the
first egg come from?" "A hen laid
it." well, where did the first hen
come from" The father scratched
his head for a moment and then re-
piled, II guess an egg Matched it,
Neither science nor history can ans
wer satisfactorily the question Of the
origin of things. Genesis is the only
book in or out of print that attempts
it in n dign.fied way. This book
answers more hard questions and
solves more mysteries than any other
book.
The large training school at Broad
way Baptist church has just finished
the study of the book, and they had
a post.view of the It last night. II
was the most interesting and help
full study which the class has had and
gave opportunity to those who de-

There were about 800 present. Next
week the class takes up the study OF
the book Of Exodus which gives an
account Of the origin Of the Theocratic
Kingdom, which was a promise and
forerunner, OF modern democracy.

street II was his business at meal
time to sound the gong in front of
the place and invite people in TO eat.
In those days Y. B. Lynn lived up
that street and passed the restaurant
three times a day at meal time. For
months he never passed but that the
Stone boy asked him in to eat and
with the same carnes.nrss enb1
Mr.. Lynn came 10 the conclusion
that q boy who was that faithful
would make Il good shoe clerk and
he hired him away from the restaur-
ant. From the shoe store he went
into u dry goods house and from the
dry goods house he went into a part
nership with J. :. McCharen.
The first trading that Stone Web
ster did was TO buy three lots in
Ardmore. He paid a small sum down
and agreed 10 pay the rest. He sold
the property for a profit. He was

48-Hour Question
Before Textile Meet
at New Bedford, Mass

New Bedford, Mass, June A
fight for the adoption of the 4S-hour
week in the textile industry in states
where that rule has not been adopted
is expected to be one of the main
problems before the sixth annual con-
vention of the American Federation
of Textile Operatives which opens
here June 22. The question to be
passed upon by the delegates is wheth-
er to renew with increased vigor the
agitation for the 48-hour limit on the
working week.
The growing movement for employ
ment insurance also will be brought
to the attention of the convention
and some expression of opinion is
looked for on the law recently passed
by the Massachusetts legislature per-
hitting suits against labor unions
and other voluntary associations.
The convention, which will continue
for four days, originally was sched-
uled to be held in Biddeford, Me. The
shift to this city which is more cen
trally located was deemed advisable,
according to leaders, in view of the
industrial depression which has left
its imprint on the treasures of the
unions.
Upwards of $4,000 cotton mill oper-
atives will be represented by approx
imately 100 delegates from Fall River,
: Lawrence. Taunton. Salem, Adams,
! Easthampton and New Bedford in
, this state; Lewiston. Brunswick, Bid
dcford and Augusta, Me-; Plainfeld
Conn; and Philadelphia. President
James Tansey of Fall River will pre-
side.

ing that the trustees, Ave to two had
approved the plans OF Bunker &

said he and Trustees Stearns had
voted for the plans of Architect H.
S. Coombs of Lewiston. Mr.. Coombs
stated the situation as he understood
F! it and asked permission to present
his estimates of cost at this meeting.
Architect Desmond Of Portland said
/ he had not received notice In time to
submit plans. but had them ready
| for presentation at this time.
| Governor Baxter said it appeared
! to him wise for the council to
recommend that the trustees reopen
the matter and give all an equal
chance to submit plans.
Live Stock Sanitary Depot
Dr. William H. Lynch. the live
stock sanitary commissioner for
Maine, was asked by Governor Bax-
ter to explain why and where the
entire appropriation for his depart
ment had already been expended.
DIR. Lynch said that he had sub
mitted a deficit of $12.S11 over the
appropriation of $780, for the first
six months of 1921, and that bills
amounting to $2791.9 SO additional had
come in since last Friday, making a
total amount of $15.602.96 indebted
ness, with no funds to carry on the
work. He told the Governor that no
81 1,n q
told last week to suspend opera
tons.
He said that the area test work
had been contracted for months ago
and been going on constantly ana
that the inspectors were all the time
in the field, so that he had no way
of knowing what their condemnation
of cattle was until their reports
came in.
The use Of the interdermal and
onhthalmic tests had been in opera
ton since last July and by that
about three times more work was
done. which of course, caused great
CT expense.
Asked as to how much he asked
the Legislature TOT as al dppTOpi id~
ton. he said $4,000 and got, he I'M
dcrstood, $4,000.
Governor Baxter said that the only
thing to do apparently when the
funds are all gone is to stop work,
as it is for the Legislature to say
how much shall be spent and the
Governor and Council had no fund
from which to supply more.
Commissioner of Agriculture
Frank p. Washburn, to whose de-
partmcnt the S0th Legislature at
tached the live stock sanitary COM
missioner's department, beginning in
July next, said that having no auth
ority yet over that department, he
could suggest nothing as to the fin
ancial difficulty nor the work. He
and his department would be very
glad to assist in any possible way
and would be ready in July to take
over the department, when called
upon legally to so do.

81 YEARS BAD

The long felt need of a roaring
comedy with q top-notch comedian,
has been satisfied. Seven Years Bad
Luck" the new Robertson Cole su-
per-special with Max Under, which
will be seen at the Colonial theatre
for today only, is what you have
wanted for many moons. Critics who
have seen this picture agree that it
is the cleanest big comedy ever
filmed. There are none of the slap
stick, pie throwing stunts used to
bring out the laughs. There is an
honest to- goodness story running
through the picture which gives one
ridiculous situation after another.
Seven Years Bad Luck" runs the
gamut of things which so to mako

terror and interior settings of high
grade through which the story
weaves it's way. In some respects it
is a lesson to the Interpretations

picture pleasing to the eye as well as

country estates, railroad trains and
even a zoo-all these and more too as
the film flickers by.
In the leading role Max Under Gas
himselO gives the greatest comedy
portrayal of his career His is hard
luck story and the old jinx begins to
work early in the picture when Max
hurls a shoe through a large mirror,
shattering it all over the set. His
first blow comes when his finance
returns the well-known engagement
ring and asks him to visit a warm
climax for rest. Throughout the
story Max proves himself a good fell
low but certainly captures all rib
bons and prizes for hard luck. In the
end, however, the fates sort of let up
on him and he is compensated for his
fidelity.
