 sion they had reached an agreement of just how far they could go in reach- ing any agreement

First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo

CalomeI Tablets That Are
Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nau-
sealess calonel tablet called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects Of the old style
calomel. Doctors also point out the
fact that an active liver may go long
way towards preventing influenza and
is one of the most important factors in
enabling the patient to successfully

TRAVELLERS LIKE Topeka
Four Passengers Stop Over Here On

Topeka has four new friends, ac-
quired because they missed their train
in Kansas City. The ramifications of

quainted with and fond of Topeka,
are interesting. as told by City Passen-
ger>Agent c. E. Bascom, of the Rock
Island.
The party, one man and three
women, were from the east, ION their
way to California on Rock Island train
No 8. Arriving in Kansas City and
finding that they had fifty-five-m min
ute wait there they decided to see the
town, and used up fifty-six minutes
thus unprofitably. When they returnA
ed to the union station they were just
in time to see the rear car of the
Golden State Limited, leave the yards.
Their tickets, hand luggage, and extra
clothing were on their car.
By wire, the Topeka officials were
notified. and removed the luggage, of
which Bascom says there were sixteen
pieces, and tickets. The party came
themselves at home in the station
until the arrival of Train No. 1, on
which reservations were secured for
them.

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

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
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
