NO NATION GREAT THAT
Is MORALLY UNCLEAN

Judge Willis S. Ellis of In
diana, father of George Ellis
of this place, gave a short ad-
dress At the regular meeting of
the Rotary club which was
held Monday night at Palace
Cafe. The Judge took occa-
sion to comment upon sociolog-
ical conditions and said this
nation had reached the peak
of moral efficiency during the
world war but had fallen to
the lowest level since that
time. He stated his belief that
this condition is only tempor-
ary from the fact that a great
movement for moral uplift is
gaining headway all over the
nation, and declared, "No ma
tion can be truly great that is
not morally clean"
The club enjoyed the pres
ence of Judge Ellis and other
guests Mr.. Kostitch of Denver
and DR.. c. A. Smith.

THAN CALQMEL
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. 1t 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 DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when youfeel ''logy" and
''heavy." They "clear" clouded brain
and "perk up" the spirits. l5c and SOC.
