BET TER 1HANCA[OME[
Thousands Have Discovered. DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute 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 DIR. Edwards deter
mination 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 take
calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take it's place.
Headaches, "dullness" 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. 15c and soc.

SHOWS MORE ACTIVITY

REDDING, CAL, Feb. 3.-Pro-
nounced activity at the summit of
Lassen peak, the only live volcano
in continental United States, was
seen from here yesterday While not
nearly so heavy as in past years, an
outburst of steam larger than for
many months could be seen rising
from the mountain. The disturbance
at first was thought to be due to
snow being blown about.
The outburst of steam was still
continuing at noon, according to word
received today from points near the
volcano. The difficulty in distIn-
gushing the steam from the puffs
Of snow which continually are tossed
around the peak of the mountain by
heavy winds led to discrepancies~in
earlier reports. Advices from points
Qearer the mountain, however, indi.
cate minor eruption actually is IN
progress.
