WW?RBr” ■ COWSTIPATIDb Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets ■ i • I That is the joyful cry of thousands since ‘ Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwatds, a practicing physician for .17 years and calomel’s old-tinfe enemy, [ discovered the formula for Olive Tablets | while treating patients for chronic const!-. , pation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothipg vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, 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 feel- ' ing—sick headache—torpid liver and are constipated, you’ll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or tw-o little Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. ♦Thousands take one or two every night just to keep right Try them. 10c and 25c per box.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. A Famous Song and Its Compcsar. —.— - 1 Samuel Woodworth, the sou of n modest Mafwachusetm farmer, waij iburn in Scituate, that atato. January 19, 1755. While the family were poor , and had no luxuries, their lot wub no I worse than that ot the ordinary New : England fmnlly. and they lived in compoiative comfort. While his life was a succession of ambitions, att< npts and failures, hi fame rests j-ectuw on his faithful portrayal of the old fashioned well and weather-beaten well-sweep, universally to be found on the farms of that day. While living in New York City, on Duane street, ho earnc home one July day, nearly overcome with the heat, and with’nothing to drink but the tepid water of the city—ice being unknown in those days in the summer months—he exvlaimcd to his wife: “What would I not give this . nsj-uent for a long draught from the old’oaken bucket hanginng in my fa- | ther’s® well! ” "Samuel!” replied • his wife, "wouldn’t that be a good subject for •i poem?” Forthwith he sat down — th. ■ thronging recollections of his childhood crowded thick upon him—and that charming idyll of tme bucolic New England sprang into sheath less life and fame. The music is said ...a beiii adapted from an an ,i, S, <>t;i.-h melody by Frederick Smith. Woodworth d,od in 1852. This song, like so many of the v.ut !yri s i.,’ an elde? day. is found in the famous song collection called "Heart Songs”—wiiich ihis paper is ering nearly free of cost to its readers.
