No More
Constipation
wHEE!
IT'S Me for Olive Tablets!

That is the joyful cry OF thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive Tab
let's, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards. practicing physician
for II years and Calomel's old.time
enemy, discovered the formula for OF.
i've Tablets while treating patients
for chronic constipation and torpid
livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel but healing, sooth-
ing laxative.
No gripping Is the Keynote" OF these
little sugar-coated tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to
act normal. They never force them to
unnatural action.
1t is easy to compel bowel and liver
activity for time with calomel and
nasty, sickening, gripping castor oil,
but the after effects are dangerous,
and the real cause of the trouble is
often not even touched.
DR.. Edwards' Olive Tablets are so
easy to take that children do not re-
gard them as medicine, at all.
They never grippe.
If you have dark brown mouth"
now and then-a bad breath-a dull.
tired feeling-sick headache-torpid
liver and constipated. you'll find quick,
sure and only pleasant results from
one or two little Olive Tablets at bed
time. They're perfectly harmless.
Thousands take one every night just
to keep right. Try them.
Every little Olive Tablet has a
movement all its own,

Almost every American man or wo

Tho Largest Crowd Here Sunday Of
all the Large Crowds That
Has Visited Here This
Season.
THREE BIG BOAT LOADS
Besides Crowds BY Rail- Trolley, Au-
tomobiles and Other Vehicles
Running Into the
Thousands.

Yesterday was one Of the biggest
Sundays Keokuk has probably ever
witnessed. 1t was, at least, the record
day Of the present season. The streets
were thronged with visitors from all
the nearby points. Among those con
spicuously represented by large dele
cations were Burlington and
Quincy and points along the river line
between here and those cities. Bur
lington look the lead in point Of num-
bers, there being two steamboat ex-
cursions starting hitherward from that
point while one excursion boat came
UP from Quincy. Besides these num-
Der OF automobile parties came here
from Burlington, Fairfield and other
points. Warsaw and Hamilton were
also represented, parties coming here
from these cities by the trolley cars
and other conveyances. The railroads
centering here brought goodly share
of visitors, all of whom appeared to
be we'll pleased with their visit.
The W. W. came down from Bur-
1ington loaded down with human
cargo, numbering 500 people.
The G.. W. Hill also came here
from Burlington and carried an ex-
cursion list OF nearly 1,4oo passen-
gers.
The steamer Keokuk came up from
Quincy and intermediate points bring
ing visitors to the number OF 400.
This was a total Of 2400 visitors by
river alone.
Then there were scores OF people
here who came from the different sur
rounding cities and the adjacent coun-
try, in automobiles and other private
conveyances.
The railroads and the trolley line
were convenient modes of travel and
many people awaited themselves OF
these to spend day or a few hours
in the notable city on whose river
front is being constructed the most
famous and attractive water power In
the world.
They found other attractions to Wis
1t and ponder over and enjoy.
Only a very unsatisfactory partial
list of the automobile parties that
came here can be given. The fact Is
that In many cases they went buzzing
about the city In such happy-joy-ride
manner that 1t was impossible to count
or name them but they were here all
the same.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

No man is too weak to escape our
greetings. If you look at this page
of The Redwood Gazette you will be
wished a happy New Year. If you
don't look at this page, or at the pap
er at all, still the greeting goes silent
ly out to you. You are to be happy,
all of you, if our wishes can make you
happy. You are to have, not, what
you deserve, but what you hope for,
if our good will can bring it to you.
Be not pessimistic of the world. It's
a dear old place in which to live and
you are, madam or sir, one of the best
persons alive. You deserve more than
you will ever receive of love and trust
and happiness but The Gazette wants
YOU to come as near a realization of
your dreams as possible. 1t wishes
you a happy New Year, full OF rare
joys, all the year long, until it shall
become the old year and the shadow
of the next New Year falls small at
your feet. A happy, happy, New
Year, free of doubts and full of trust,
and God bless you.

THE ASSET OF COURAGE.

There is little use in dreaming big
dreams, in thinking big thoughts, in
devising big plans, unless you have
the courage to follow them up.
And in many eases, if you depend
upon the encouragement of your
friends you will fail
The point is that you must have
the courage of your own convictions,
and if you think you are right, go
ahead, even though your friends are
skeptical and jeering.
There is very interesting case in
point. The other day Charles Bour-
seul died in France, and when he died
it was remembered that in 1854 he
published a suggestion, in a crude and
undeveloped form, for scheme to
transmit speech by electricity.
Bourseul was close to the invention
of the telephone, and he believed
thoroughly il his idea. But when he
published his immature idea his
friends laughed at him. They said
he was crazy, and that he had better
try something more plausible.
And Boursell followed their advice.
If he had had the courage of his con-
victions he would have kept on, and
he would have invented the telephone
twenty-five years before Bell patent
ed his revolutionizing invention.
If instead of succumbing before the
ridicule of his friends he had believed
in himself, his name instead of Bells
would be the honored one today. In
stead Bell is remembered as the in
ventor of the telephone, and the man
who might have invented it genera
ton sooner is remembered only be-
cause he was weak enough to let
folks laugh him out of fame's reach.

the storekeeper who arises at o'clock

It is all relative. Says Carlyle:

Arise when you viii and go to bed
when you please, it is all one. AT
some point in the course of the TWEEN
ty-four hours the hand of society falls
upon you, drags you out of bed,
sends you forth, whips you through
the hours and pushes you back into
bed that you may be in readiness for a
repetition of the program on the NOR
row.
Hence it matters not at what time
you arise since you must, sooner or

Do YOU RISE AT 6 A. M?

Down east an agitation is on to get
people up in the morning and one of
the New York papers has been asked
to find out how many people rise at 6
a. m. because they like to.
We can answer without making an
investigation.
No one.
No one ever rises until he has to.
Hunger or hate or dread of the
worlds criticism or some other pas
sion or feeling makes folks get out of
bed.
The ideal condition would be where
no one ever arose.
In state of perfected society food
and life's delights will be set before

have to arise at some hour or other.

GOSSIP OF THE PRESS

The Free Press is inclined to agree
with H. H. Dunn and Lieut.. Cover
nor S. 7. Gordon, who favor the
election of the speaker of the house
by vote of the people. No speaker
has ever been able to get into the
chair without certain concessions, and
it will hardly be contended that an
official thus elected is entirely free to
