QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, practicing physician
for IL years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calamel but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
let's. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Ifyou have dark brown mouth -
bad breath-a dull, tired feeling-sick
headache-torpid liver--constipation.
you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re-
suits from one or two of DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take theEi every night just
to keep right. Try them. 15c and 30c.

the letter, then send for both Kar and Jack and have it out? Just at present I feel that youl | happiness and Jacks-for, my dear whatever you may feel, I am quite sure that your husband loves you very much-is more to be con- sidered than Alice's and karl's Alice does not deserve any considera- tion, and poor Karl is so romantic thrill.
 Leslie l never knew that anyone could be as sweet IS Walter Burke is to be. Yet, after all I've gone through and all I have known of my friends affairs, I am almost afraid to marry him. I told him this the other day, and he said I did not love him. I wish we could remain just as we are at present Am I selfish in wishing this? AS a lover he iss perfect, and l am afraid that as a husband he might be a disappointment.
 l told him the other day that could not marry him just now be- cause I could not dispose of the shop immediately, and he said:
 "Oh, give the shop to Leslie. She stood by you. You know you didn't have one solitary cent--it2 was all her money. No one else would have believed In you or helped you but me, and you wouldn't let me do 1t. Consequently I don't think the shop really is yours. It belongs to Leslie"
 Then, dear, had to tell that Jack doesn't know you own any share in the shop. You ought to have heard him whistle. Finally he said:
 Tt looks to me, my dear. as If 8 very good business proposition was going to be scrapped in the near future. Why don't you buy Leslie out. Ruth? I'd be perfectly willing 10 pay good price for it. Then you can put 1t on cooperative basis and make a good thing for the welfare of all those people that you have sewing and working for you now"
 But someone uill have to run 1t, Walter" I said.
 Either you or Leslie could run 1t under those conditions. It's no disgrace for man to let his wife work her head off in welfare work, but it is disgrsceful for an able bodied man 10 have woman work 10 earn money for herself. If a man can't support his wife. he's no business to marry her"
