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

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub. stitute for calomel--are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the 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. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when youfeel "logy" and "heavy." They "clear" clouded brain and "perk up the spirits. l5c and BOG.

PERRA WANTED FOR
 PLAINV|LLE MURDER
Man Held in Chicago Alleged Principal in Shooting at Party
Especial 10 The Herald).

Aopeciai 10 IHe heraluD. Plainville, March 12. Following
 word received by Chief William s.
 Hart of the New Britain police force from Chicago police stating that
 Adisto Perra, wanted fot murder in
 Plainville 12 years ago, is under ar
 rest there, local officials have been
 awaiting developments. The case is
 being handled by the state police and
 it is expected that the alleged slayer will be returned for trial within the next few days.
 Perra was made through his identi- fcation by either Mrs. Frank Mar ganeli in whose house the trouble which led to the staying started, or her son, both of whom are in Spring field, III. Although no official word has been received of the manner in which Perra was captured, it is thought that the Marganeli woman or her son recognized the prisoner and informed the authorities in Springfield. The son was in Plainville a few weeks ago.
 The murder was committed in Painville, November 5. 1911, just outside the home of Mr. and Mrs Frank Marganelli in which a party in celebration of q christening was in progress. They lived at the time in the old Graham property. One of the invited guests was Dominick Tarago- nj, whose age was 62 years. Early in the evening, Tony Perra and his cousin, Peter Perra, came to the house, but they were told that they were not welcome. Despite that. Mrs. Marganeli gave them each glass of beer and told them to depart Tony but is said to have put his hand on his hip and made threats,
 Later on, the pair again made their appearance and entered the side door. As soon as they were in the house again, the guests forcibly elected them.
 Once again on the outside. Tony called to those within and invited them to come outside and he would pump lead into them. Several of the men in the house dashed after him and Tony, running down the road, opened fire.
 Five shots rang out and Iaragonl dropped with a bullet in his right | lung and the other in his left side Perra then lied.
 Before assistance arrived. Taragoni i died. The New Britain police made an investigation and learning that the scene of the affair was in Plainville, notified the state police. An investi- ,ation was then made by Superintcnd- .nt Hurley and Sergeant Frank Vir- eli. Pe-ra, however, got away and Ill trace of him was lost.
 The arrest recalls the affair very .ividly to Plainville authorities and word is momentarily expected from he state police.

 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time; by morn- ing all gray hairs have disappeared, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft and luxuriant.
