' , The . letter amounts to a statement of this Government's policy on virtually all issues' growing out of the war and in volving the United States.

Better Than Calomel Thousands Rave Discovered Dr. Ed ward's Olive Tablets are a Harm . less 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' deter mination 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 -Dad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. . They take hold of 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 ' calo mel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipa tion and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you "loggy," and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 2 So per box. At all druggists.
