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 oilf 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.

CHICAGO HOPES
FOR 5-CENT
Pending Commerce Body Decision
VIII State Surface Lines Don't
Give Adequate Service.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Illinois
Commerce commission will meet
today to formulate its decision on
the surface line street car fare
hearings held recently. A return
TO five-cent fare, instead of the
Scent charge, to go into effect
soon, has been predicted in city
hall circles.
Frank l.. Smith, chairman of
the commission, announced that he
had prepared a tentative decision
to be presented today. He refused
to discuss the contents of this pro-
posed decision, but it is believed
that 1T will hold water and stand
attacks from any source"
Mr.. Smith did state. however.
That the decision will assert the
car lines are Iot giving ADEQUATE
service and that the basis of a fare
reduction will be to cut the pres
ent ~ per cent interest return To
the company 20 8 per cent.
1t was announced probable that
this could not be made effective
without reducing wages. 1t was
also stated that the commission
would not seek an injunction 10
prevent a wage cut.

GOVERNOR GETS
30-P0UND TURK
Small Starts for Kankakee. Where
Family VIII Have Quail, Ducks.
Turkey m EVERYTHING.

Springfield, H., Nov. 23.-A So
pound turkey was part of the bag
gage today with which y Governor
Len Small left Springfield for his
home at Kankakee, where Thanks
giving will be celebrated tomorrow
with a family reunion.
The first Thanksgiving at the
Small homestead, the governor
said today, was celebrated in 1852,
when his father, the late DR.. a. l..
Small, established himself there.
Since then, a reunion of the Smalls
has been an almost annual affair at
Thanksgiving time, the governor
added.
The turkey was the gift of J. S.
Miles of Petersburg, a member of
the state fair board. Besides the
turkey, the gathering at the Small
homestead will have quail and
ducks to eat.
Goodness" said the governor,
as he mentioned quail, its quail
season, isn't it?'
When told that bird was IN good
season, the governor smiled and
left for Kankakee with the ex-
pressed wish that Chicago might
have a scent street car fare for a
Thanksgiving gift tomorrow.
"A ruling in that case will be
made very soon," he said.
