. reet public sentiment and patriotic

rollment of nearly fifty members and

creased dining tho week. A tempor
ary organization was effected at this

Among the numerous suggestions

ing the coming crisis.
A Much stress was laid upon the
pressing need of recruiting the
Seventh Company up to its ful!
strength immediately; the compan,,
now has only about one-third of its
required membership, and it was do
eided at the meeting to .open a re
cruiting station on Main street ii

committee in charge expects to have
tho work under way within twenty
four hours. All of the members of
the organization arc pledged to assist
the committee in its work, and the nc

mittces are expected to meet with a

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablet the sub
stitute for calomel arc a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They arc the re
sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banish it brought
out these lit'le olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel docs, 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 calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets take its place.
