,Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the

their effect on the liver is almost In

treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. DR.. Edwards has been cal-

forts to Danish 1t brought out these
little olive-oil colored tablets, a rare
combination OF vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil. These pleasant.
harmless little tablets do all the good
that calomel does but have no bad at

teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
\ Quickly correct It. Why cure the liver

Nmel sometimes plays havoc with the

not to take calomel at all. but to let

IMPROVEMENT OF GEE BUSINESS
WOULD MEAN 100000 A
YEAR TO IOWA.
STATE INSPECTOR OF
APiARiEs URGES INDUSTRY
Development Of Bee Keeping Would
Result in Great Good to Agricultural
Products Of State From Nectar That
= Now Goes to Wasts-iowa Produces
1900, 900 Pound. Of Honey.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames. May 5.-Iowa is losing prob
ably 35.00O.000 year because it isn't
in the bee business on as big scale
as conditions justify.
That is one of the striking state
ments Of bulletin on Bee Keeping in
Iowa" just put out by the agricultural
extension department of Iowa State
College to promote the bee industry in
the state. The extension department.
has entered upon a vigorous campaign
for more honey production. This bull
letin will probably be followed by 9TH
ers and a special lecturer will devote
attention to bee keeping at short
courses and farmers institutes.
Frank G. Pellet, state inspector of
apiaries, wrote this interesting book
let and it is based on a thorough in
vestigation of the industry.
Mr.. Pellet found that Iowa was a
favored locality for the production Of
honey. He estimated that fully So
100000 could be added annually by
bees to the agricultural produce of the
state from nectar that now goes to
waste. Large numbers of bees would
result in the better cross polarization
and fertilization Of blossoms which
would indirectly add much more in
the production Of fruits and seed Of
various kinds.
Value Of Honey ~ Food.
AS food, Mr.. Pellet found that
honey is superior in actual food value
to most other foods. and from the
standpoint Of food units is among the
cheapest Of foods at present prices.
Replies to letters sent to prominent
bec keepers over the state showed that
from 40 to 100 per cent profits In cash
return on the investment are very
usual Fifty pounds Of extracted honey
per colony per year was the average
over the state for the professional bee
keeper. Most Of these men started
with single hives and gradually de-
veloped a profitable business. The
present Iowa output is about 100000
pounds Of honey annually.
+ Mr.. Pellet believes that there Is no
part Of Iowa where one may not start
bee keeping in small way, and grad
ually work up business that will be
source Of profit and pleasure. In his
bulletin, which will be sent free upon
application to the bulletin section.
Ames, Iowa, he gives definite infor-
nation as to equipment needed. kind
Of bees to buy, and the full year man
agement Of the apiary.

Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, MAY 6.-This town
was visited with . nre Friday night
that. for time. threatened the entire
eastern part Of the business section of
town. A little after 1880 p. m. there
was one solitary fash OF lightning but
1t was very severe and struck the
Kinney lumber office and set fire to 1t.
Rock Island Operator Bullmer was
passing along the street In front Of the
Kinney yard at the time and he was
knocked to the ground by the shock.
Elk County Clerk Blough in his homo
not far distant was closing a window
at the time and he was knocked over
on his bed.
Fire son broke out all over the Kin
ney yard and the fire department
quickly responded and fought fire the
balance Of the night. The wind was
in the north and George Morrison's bus
barn was just across the street to the
south OF the Kinney yard and is frame
building and a times the flames reach
ed clear across the street to this barn
but almost miraculous work on the
part of the fire company the fire was
confined to the lumber yard alone and
the rest of the town saved. The fire-
men hadsto be covered all over with
wet blankets and have water constant
ly thrown over them to keep the fire
from injuring them and even then they
were severely burned.
Had the Morrison barn burned, filled
as 1t was with hay and other intlam-
mabe material and joining right onto
other frame buildings 1t Is doubtful II
any of the business houses in the east
end of town could have been saved.
Kinney's books and automobile were
saved before the fire got to them ana
the lumber in the yards across an al
ley from the main building was also
saved. 1t is estimated that his loss was
around $4,000 with $500 insurance.
