The country has walked up to the

Inherently, the Mellon tax reduction
plan is desirable because it relieves
the small Garner of a considerable
share of his burden and at the same
time encourages wealth to enter pro-
ructive development and stimulate the
commerce and industry of the whole
nation, to the benefit of all, and in so
doing materially increases the Gov

Better Than Calomel
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

Or. Edwards Olive TabIets-the sub
stitute fer calomel--are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little we
coIored tablets are the result Of Or.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowe! complaints with caIomei.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonei does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or eaIomeI. They take
hold Of the trouble and quickly correct
u. Why cure the liver at the expense Of
the teeth? calomei sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take caIomei.
