QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
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. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth"—a
bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick
headache—torpid liver and are consti
pated, 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."" Try them.

DEAR FOLKS:
WHEN you work hard anil

achieve a result and yon
feel down deep that you hav

very, VERY much when some
body comes along that you know
is an expert and he tells you thai
your work is splendid and he
congratulates you?
Is it not just human for all ol
us to like to hear praise of oui
work?
Well, I saw a very happy

In the group of workers was

Wilson & Co., who is grlntense
and as enthusiastic se : any of the

the company. I mention this to
prove what I have been telling
you, that the Wilson & Co. or
ganization represents DEMOC

with the head and goes all
through the ranks. One man is
as good as another in this organ

in the matter of recognition and
reward for service well rend

j had succeeded, to have Mr. McCann
—a man who knows what pure food
I is—tell you that jou had achieved a
i wonderful result?
Vou bet it would.
Well, the Wilson & Co. workers
| are the same kind of human beings
as you ait'—so they were made very
j happy w hen Mr. McCann, who had
selected at random from the im
mense stocks of canned goods—cans
of Corn. Tea, Beans, Asparagus,
Meats, Preserves, etc.—and had them
opened up und then tasted and
,tasted them,—gave them his splen
did endorsement.
I know Mr. McCann personally
and intimately, lie is an honest,
fearless, a ble man. Nobody on earth
has ever yet la-en able to control
his opinions or his pen. Both are
else' Cd bj lllmsw,f tt,uJ hy nobody
I know he mount what he said
when he told those workers that
their Certified foods are O. K. in all
particulars, and I know also that if
he had not thought they were O. K.
in all ■ particulars, the tender of a
million dollars cosh on tlio spot
would not have made him endorse
them.
Mr. McCann could have been rich
by now had he wished to barter his
honor but he has kept himself
clean and straight—AND POOR, as
most men do who are intent nml In
tense in doing things to help and
protect Humanity.
I did not know that Mr. McCann
was in Chicago until he walked into
the Wilson & Co. restaurant, which,
by the way, is a big, democratic af
fair where olTicials and workers dine
together in the same way that mem
bers of a family meet at their own
diiiiugroom tables.
He told me he had come to Chi
cago to investigate the Wilson &
Co. business lieeause his interest had
lieen aroused by reading these let
ters that I am writing to you. At
the end of the day he was good
enough to say that he found every
thing exactly as I have described it
to you—that is to say, that there is
Heart, Honor, and the Square Deal
nil throughout the Wilson & Co. or
ganization.
Mr. McCann ami I once spoke
from the same platform at Saga
more Beach. Mass., where intense
people gather and discuss the big
problems of the day. I will never
forget the great ovation Sir. McCann
received on that occasion. He is a
very dramatic and very intense
speaker. He had carefully prepared
a speech hut after its delivery the
large audience insisted on his con
tinuing to tulk. THEY WANTED
TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HIS
CRUSADE AGAINST IMPU It E
FOODS.
He talked for an hour longer, and
then the audience consented to his
stopping only liccuuse it was time
for lunch, but even then, they ex
acted a promise from him to resume
ut the afternoon session. He did
speak again at the afternoon session
and held his hearers spellbound for
hours.
HIS WORK HAS ALWAYS
BEEN VERY STRENUOUS AND
HONEST. HE HAS CONTRIBUTED
TREMENDOUSLY TO THE HIGH
STANDARDS THAT NOW PRE
VAIL IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
PURE FOODS.
When he returned front Chicago
he wrote some wonderful urticles
about his visit to the Wilson & Co.
plnnt which were printed hi the
New York Evening Globe. lie knows,
and so do 1, and I think you are
beginning to know, that the slogan
used liy Wilson & Co. "THE
WILSON LABEL PROTECTS YOUR
TABLE"—means what it say*..
