KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy - If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret Of keeping young Is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver ana poweis-eners no Ge eeSe
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
lious look in your face-dul1 eyes with no
sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent
of all sickness comes from inactive bowels
and liver.
DR.. Edwards. a. well-bnown physician in
Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and
bowels, which he gave to his patients for
years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calome1. are gentle in their action,
yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance OF
spirit, that natural buoyancy which should
be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the
liver and clearing the system Of impurities.

This state, Now Owns

SECOND TO CALIFORNIA
Only State In the Union That Has
This One Beaten-Recent
Report on the
Subject.

II the people in Iowa do not stop
buying autos. It will soon become I'M
fashionable to be seen riding in one,
for now one out OF every twenty-one
persons own cars, and those people
who want something different will
have to take up something else. The
Greater Iowa has the following to say
Of the autos in Iowa:
Automobile figures compiled from
the statistics of twelve of the leading
states of the union show that Iowa
made the largest increase in automo-
bile registration last year, of any Of
L-ese states. In 1914 Iowa made an
increase of 60 per cent in the number
|of automobiles registered, as COM
pared to 1913. This year the number
of automobiles registered in this
state Is thus far considerably ahead
lot year ago. On April 10th there
were about 1900 more automobiles
registered in the secretary Of states
office than there were on the cor
responding date in 1914.
OF these twelve principal states
from which figures have been secured
Iowa has more automobiles per CAP
tia than any other except California.
The figures show that California has
one automobile for about every min e.
teen people, while Iowa has an auto
mobile for about every twenty-one
people. These figures are based on
the 1910 census. Michigan has one
auto to every thirty-nine, Indiana one
to every forty, Illinois one to every
iforty-three, Massachusetts one to ev-
Iery f1fty-four and Pennsylvania one to
every sixty-nine inhabitants.
Last year there were 106,0S7 auto
mobiles registered in this state II
the present rate of increase keeps
up the number registered this year
will show big gain. In 1914 Iowa
registered Lilo more automobiles
than the combined registration of
Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas,
South Dakota, North Dakota and
Montana.

HAMILTON, H., Nov. 22.-Satur-

near this city came over from Keo-

west ideas. They proceeded to shoot
up the town after their arrival at the
foot Of Main street and became SO
boisterous and insulting that the city
marshal was sent after them with the
result that they were overtaken IN
lakewood and placed in the city jail
where they were allowed to think
about their wild west escapades. This
morning they were arratgned and
fined SIS and costs for their amuse-

thing about 1t for the newspaper pub

The October term OF court here was
only five days long and Judge Wade
postponed it until December T. Cases
like this have happened several times
in the past when Judge Mcpherson
was holding court and 1t is to rectify
this that Judge Wade has arranged
the new schedule.
Up to Congress.
This schedule has been received
here but will not be officially in use
until passed by congress at its Decem-
Der meeting, There will be no oppo-
sition to it's passage it is said.
In a letter accompanying the sched-
ule, signed by w. C. Macarthur. clerk
Of court, 1t is stated that owing to the
creation of additional districts, con.
fusion arose in the various bills pass
ed by congress as to the time Of hold

and it is to rectify this that the new
terms were prepared.
