SPENCER The Old Reliable QUICK RELIEF FROM , ■ CONSTIPATION J I ■— Get Dr. Edwards’ j Olive Tablets ' That Is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute tor calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 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 ealdmei. but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coat'd. olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth" now and then —a bad breath —a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and are constipated, you’ll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. take one or two every night Just to keep right Try them. 10c and 25u per box.

Valuable Oak Carvings. In the vaults of St. Paul’s cathedral in London Is stored away a rich store of priceless oak carving, part of which was originally in the cathedral, and part removed from city churches when demolished. A selection of these relics, consisting mostly of woodwork placed in the cathedral in the time of Sir Christopher Wren, has just been lent to the Geffrye museum of the L. | C. C. Os special interest are a prayer I desk, an overdoor, stall brackets, trusses, and an oak capital, all beautl- I fully carved, together with specimens of Tijou’s ironwork. “Nobody Home.” The judge did not seem to appreciate the remarks of the lawyer for the defense. (Several years before they had had a fight over the question of religion.) At last the judge interrupted the lawyer and said: “Do you not know that everything you are saying is going in one ear and out the other?” The lawyer turned to him and replied: “Your honor, what is to prevent?”— Burr. Origin of the Organ. The origin of the organ is lost In the night of the past. It is generally supposed that the organ, in its simplest state, was a modification of the ’’Pipes of Pan,” or simple hollow reeds of various lengths bound together and so arranged as to be rapidly swept over by the mouth of the player, each pipe graduated as near as might be to some natural ‘‘note’’ of music. Primitive Matches. The first matches of which we have any account were thin splinters of wood about four Inches long, tipped with sulphur. They were ignited when live coals or other fire were not available by means of a tinder box and its copartner, flint or steel. Fire was first communicated to the tinder by sparks of burning metal struck from the steel by the flint The Power of Toxins. One thousandth of a gram of tetanus (lockjaw) toxin is enough to kill a horse weighing 1,300 pounds or six hundred million times its weight. More remarkable still, one-thousandth of a milligram of tubercular toxin will produce action on a man weighing 132 pounds—sixty trillion times its weight. Teacher’s Duty to Pupil. It is the teacher's duty to furnish inspiration and enthusiasm, to set the pupil thinking along right lines, to put him in the way of finding out things for himself. If you can do this, much of the definite, practical working out of problems may be left for the home. —Normal Instruction. The Flying Machine. The idea of the flying machine Is thousands of years old, but the real father of the heavler-than-air aeroplane was Professor Langley, although the first to actually fly through the air in such machlnee were the Wright brothers In 1903. Public Opinion In Russia. Perslgny once said to Napoleon III: “You can do almost anything with bayonets except sit on theta. “ So yotrean do almost anything with public opinion in Russia except wholly suppress it by sitting on IL—George Kennan in the Outlook. Identified. The men who give ths excuse that they don't care anything about an a» tomobile, but are buying to please their wives, are perhaps the same ones who borrow a boy to take to the circus—South Bend News-Tribune. Humanity’s Responsibility. To resist the tyranny of eels; to recognize the law of duty; to maintain the supremacy of the higher over the lower parts of our nature —this is our responsibility for life and its gifts.’ —W. E. Gladstone. A Secret “Hazel, what is a secret?” I asked my little niece the other day. “Oh,” she replied, “a secret is for anyone to have no one to know something but you and someone." —Chicago Tribune. One’s Own Fault People Influence us who have nd business to do it, simply because we have neglected to train ourselves to attend to our own affairs. —A. E. Winship. Kept Safe From Theft In the sixteenth century dictionaries ‘ were chained in the schoolhouses as ■ Bibles were in the churches, by reason i of their costliness and rarity. ] Reading and Thinking. Reading furnishes the mind only • with materials of knowledge; it Is < thinking makes what we read ours.— ( Locke.
