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 calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab- lets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth” now and then—a bad breath—a dull tired feellng—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. * ‘Thousands take one or two every night just to keep right.

Peale of the playgrounds association has been no- tified by Alderman Michael H. Houri- gan of the committee on public works that it is the intention of this com- mittee of the common council to use the balance in the committee’s hands for improvements at Lake Street playgrounds, in the way of setting out 25 or 30 maple trees. In the summer months the heat of the sun’s rays bas been more the children could stand as the grounds are naked of trees. It was suggested sometimd ago that the trees be planted and now that the committes has available funds the work will be carried out. On Friday, Chairman Hourigan, Councilman Jo- seph F, Williams, Street Commissioner E. C. Lillibridge, and others were at the grounds with the idea of designat- ing the points at which the trees will be planted. Forester Davis will prob- ably begin digging holes for the trees at_once. Last year there was appropriated $500 for improvements at the'sgrounds and there were erected a slide, a basin and some leveling was done with the money. There is a balance of $128.75 which may be used for im-| provement at the grounds this spring.

Remember the “dose” mother insisted on—castor ofl, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. ‘With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well- founded. Their tender little “insides” are injured by them. If your child’s stomach, lver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli- ctous “California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but itle. Millions of mothers keep this less “fruit laxative” handy; they know children love to take it; {hat it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot- tle of “California Syrup of Figs,” which has full directrons for bables, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Reware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by “Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Company.” Refuse any other kind with contempt. MRS. G. P.
