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

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets - the substitute for ca1omel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little oIive-co1ored tablets are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel com plaints without calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calornel 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. It is best not to take calomeL. Let pr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Headaches, "duIlneSS'' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel 'logy'' and ''heavy-" They clear clouded brain and ''perk up" the spirits SC and 30c.-Adv.

Radio Limitations Received By Hoover

The wizardry of the nations fore
 most electrical experts has well de-
 1ned the possibilities of the radio telephone and their energies are di- kown scope of its public usefulness. Radios chief sphere of public service is in ''broadeasting." and as an auxil- iary to the wire lines. Expert opin- ion, voiced by Herbert Hoover, Secre- tary of Commerce. at the radio con- ference in Washington. recently Is that radio will never give a satis- factory ''office to offiee." or home may some day be used economically, dependably and with the privacy which only the wire lines can give, ts a "perfect1y hopeless notion" to quote Secretary Hoover.
 However, speculation as to radios future is rampant among the unin- formed and e harmful feature of this Influence Is tha pernieious thought phony by wire. Nothing, scientists agree, could be further from the facts
 On this point the annual report of The American Telephone and TeIe- field for radio telephony lines in con- nection with those situations where 1t is tmpracticable to employ wires as in the ease of communications be- shore and from ship to ship, from airship to ground and similar classes of service All Of these possible fields for the extension of our service are being carefully explored. and 1t is ex- pected that as time goes on they may be developed into useful auxiliaries to the wire service. Over great bodies of water and between points difficult to access, where wire service Is inn pra acticable to establish or maintain the radio telephone offers a promis- ing means Of communication"
 - But even ''broadcasung' and the n+har forms of u-ipAlaEl tioned, can be but limited service; limited as to the area that can be economically served, limited by weather conditions at sending and re- ceiving points and limited in numer- ous other respects familiar to stu dents of radio.
