|FTTER THAN CALOMEL
thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

> DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomei--are a mild but sure
axative, 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, dizziness and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and
"heavy." They "clear" clouded brain
and "perk up the spirits. lSc and SOC.

Young parents spend a lot of
time gazing at their new treasure.
They are apt to note many more
things than the most experienced
physician has ever seen and almost
everything indicates something
trightfully wrong. 1t might be well

misery and assure them that the

BROADCASTS
BY LoRA KELLY
The Half Has Not Been Told

1t is a great thing to be civilized.
Civilization gives US an opportuni-
ty to build up great fortunes. Great
fortunes enable US to establish
foundations" Foundations produce
uplifters. Uplifters conduct surveys.
Surveys bring forth questionnaires
and missionaries stir UP all kinds
Of talk.
The latest of these missionaries
brings TO light the awful truth about
women. Out of 1000 married women,
S72 proclaimed themselves happy.
What is the world coming to, my
way?
OF the happy group Al per cent
said that they did not spoon prior to
their marriage; 81 per cent did, and
% per cent spooned only with their
fances. There are a lot more of these
vital statistics" In answer to the
queries OF the horn-rimmed lex
perts," who, after all the shouting
and tumult, leave Us to our own con-
illusions.
They do not indicate that a similar
QUESTIONABLE has been SEM out TO
the unmarried IN and that re-
turns from all precincts may be ex-
pected some time next summer. II
is a long time to keep US In suspense.
The inquiring surveyors" who must
be hard up for something to survey
ought to finish the job and start out
among the men with similar queries.
The Research Committee would be
rewarded not with confessions con-
corning amatory adventures, but
boasts.
The man who doesn't consider
himself the perfect lover doesn't ex-
list. The object of his devotions may
not agree, but that makes little Diff
ference. From eight to eighty they
are all eternal Romeos, and no doubt
they would be glad to go on record
as such.
Rather a large proportion OF tbs
women questioned considered thi.
probing Of the inner recesses of the
heart as impertinent and left tbs
most important queries unanswered
After all, why bother with weari
some surveys OF such matters? Tht
only happy people are married
women and single men.

Citizenship Drive
Plan Of Women

ATLANTA, May 9:-Devote the
coming year to a crusade that shall
convince women that citizenship
means patriotism and that patriot
ism means an appreciation of that
solemn responsibility and glorious
privilege of voting, was the plea
made here tonight by Mrs. Percy v.
Pennybacker of Austin, Texas, before
the biennial convention of the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs.
THE women of our land have not
availed themselves of the privilege
of voting as they should" said Mrs,
Pennybacker. There is much to be
said in extenuation, but we progress
more rapidly if we deal not in ex-
cuses, but measure ourselves by
strict standards. 1t is a disgrace that
at Jul last general election in 1920
not so per cent Of our voters went to
the polls. l favor every club calen-
der printing in crimson the dates for
poll tax payment, the dates for the
primary and for the fall election,
thus reminding the forgetful."
Mrs. P~ennybacker made an appeal
for the observance by the public OF
all laws, stresslng particularly the
eighteenth amendment. Our duty
ID pldllf size Sdiu. IL we ever Dy
our silence have countenanced the
breaking of this law, the time has
come for us to About Face and
take our full share in trying to
arouse public opinion to the neces-
sity of observance of the law. We
should not only abide by the law
ourselves but permit no jest 10 pass
lips concerning it's violation by
others. It has been well said: If a
law is bad. the ideal way to secure
its repeal is to enforce it,. Into the
hands of women has been given the
ideals of the race"
In speaking of the great desire of
all to abolish war, Mrs. Pennybacker
said: II wish we might study and
prepare ourselves for a great refer
endum on this question, one that
should have no entangling alliances.
l do not know how it could be
brought about, but if we want a
thing bad enough, IL we work dill
gently and pray %fervently, the way
will be OPEN

car be sure that the baby is not
as comfortable over his last meal

The breathing in babies is not
always regular. Unless there are
other indications OF fever. such as
a highly flushed face and hot skin
one need not worry about T. slight

Also one need not be distressed
if the baby's eyes are not always
tightly closed in sleep. He'll learn

The dainty feminine type of wo-
