QUICK RELIEF FROM “ CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years and calomel’s old-time enemy, aiscovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. 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’ — bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache - torpid liver—constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleasant re-, suits from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c. ?.()c. 60c.

fhildren’s Vj&tColds Best Treated Externally That’s why modem mothers prefer Vicks —it cannot upset delicate stomachs. Rubbed on throat and chest, it acts two ways at once: (1) Its healing vapors, released by the body heat, are inhaled direct to the air passages; (2) It “draws out” the soreness like an old-fashioned poultice. f-jc^\w a ys Watonce ICKS Vapo Rub Over ft Million Jars Used Yearle

Nowadays... you press a button OR PERHAPS a switch, or some little gadjet, and a lot of things happen around a home that lighten labor and banish trouble. A WHIRLING fan brings a cooling breeze, and a little copper, dish-like affair throws out a sizzling blast that warms the room in no time. ANOTHER button boils coffee, toasts bread and cooks waffles. Another does a better job than a broom. Another makes a happy laundress out of a dismal washwoman. Another one cools the ice-box. Another—but why go on? LAP>OR and time savings devices have come and are today within the reach of the humblest home. AND one of the chief reasons why they have come and why they are within the reach of the humblest home is the power of advertising. ADVERTISING has carried the news of these better ways of doing things to every home. It has created a desire to possess them, and countless thousand** have purchased them, and live better because of them. READING advertising not only tells you about new, helrvfu! mechanical devices for the home, but it is an unfailing guide to reliable products. • 11 Read advertising regularly. It points the way to better living. Decatur Daily Democrat
