STOP BAD BREATH

Thousands of people afflicted with
bad breath find quick relief through
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets. The
pleasant, sugar-coated tablets are
taken for bad breath by all who know.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels and
liver, stimulating them to natural
action, clearing the blood and gently
purifying the entire system. They do
that which dangerous calomeI does
without any of the bad after effects.
Olive Tablets bring TO gripping
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DIR. r. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after 20 years of practice
among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint, with the atten-
dant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound; you will know them by
their olive color. Take nightly for a
week and note the effect. I5c, SOC, 6Oc.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Brookhart intends to oppose
construction of new canal through
Nicaragua until the inland waterway
system in this country is completed
Back from an inspection OF the Pan

oppose even that work until the United

The Iowa Republican announced he
would introduce a bill in the next Con-
gress to make ships going through the
Panama Canal, which now escape full
rates by building false decks" pay full
tonnage charges. Under present laws,
he said, American vessels pay 100000
annually less than they should and for
eign ships 100000 less.
