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? Calomcl sometimes plays havoc with the gums, So do stronj liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place.

Sec- 6nd, we are circulating posters throughout the state, and third, we are organizing local branches with memberships of business men to urge everybody to vote on the beer and wine issue November 7. The branch at East St. Louls contains 85 of the leading manufacturers, and in fact, virtually all the leading businessmen of the city. “The dealers in liquors of high alcoholic content have been spending large sums to fight us. The brewers | are not sufficiently numerous nor well-to-do at present to give direct financial support, even if we would take it. To be sure, they use their influence in our behalf when they can. We are not holding big mass meetings nor the old-fashioned sort of cam- paign. We are making no promises to candidates, but are keeping out of politics. “To candidates who ask us for con- tributions ave say, ‘If, as you say, you are a deserving candidate and have a chance of election, and if, as you say, you are wet and the senti- ment of your constituency is wet, go ahead on the wet issue, be a little wetter than your wettest opponent. With the advantage of our campaign for modification of the Volstead act on your side, you will 'be elected if what vou say about yourself and about the sentiment of your constitu- ency is true. If it is not, you wouldn't be elected though we should print thousands of dollars worth of posters for your particular campaign.” Mr. Joannis asserted that none of the as- sociation's funds came from liquor in- terests, but most of it from business men and employers on a large scale It’s N 1—Saves one-quarter to one-third of your fuel as compared to any other heating system. 2—First cost less. 3—Heats all rooms in the house. 4—Heats more evenly from floor to ceiling than any other system.
