The inn known as the “Same Yet,” at Prestwick, has n curious history which Mr. Hackwood relates: ‘The house originally bore: the ‘Seven Stars.’ Many years ago it became necessary to have its faded sign repainted. When the painter asked the landlord what he was to put on the board he received the answer, ‘The same yet.’ And the man took him at his word.”—London News. Crowding Out. Overcoming evil with good is the only way to overcome it at all.

SETTER THANCALDMEI Thousands Have Discovered Dr Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calom I, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel “loggy” and “heavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spirits. 10c and 25c a box.
