Olive Tablets

If your skin is yellow-complexion

you have bad taste in your mouth-a
lazy, no-good feeling-you should take
Olive Tablets.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets sub
stitute for calomel-were prepared by
DR. Edwards after II years of study
with his patients.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color.
To have clear, pink skin. bright eyes,
no pimples, feeling of buoyancy like
childhood days you must get at the cause.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act on the
liver and bowels like calomel-yet have
no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome con-
stipation- That's why millions of boxes
are sold annually at loo and Csc per
box. All druggists. Take one or two
nightly and note the pleasing ,results.

The state board will also discuss
the financial needs of the institutions

The state board of education at its
meeting in Des Moines today and to-
morrow will decide on the appropri-
atoms which the general assembly
will be asked to make for the state
educational institutions for the next
two years.
1t is believed that the board will
ask the legislature to make the same
appropriations for buildings for the
three big institutions as were made
by the last general assembly. This
would provide the state university at
Iowa City with s150.0o0; the State
college at Ames with $4,000. and

Cedar Falls Record: A few years
ago it was freely predicted that the
automobile would drain the country
of its money. It was argued that the
bank deposits would be depleted and
that actual ruin would stare us in the
face. In contradiction to this predic-
ton Iowa banks carry larger de-
posits than ever A Cedar Falls bank,
in recent statement, shows deposits
on hand of million dollars, the
largest amount in the history of that
institution. The spending Of money
does not destroy it. 1t gives it wings
and puts it into circulation.

reprimands. the opponents have been
compelled to shake hands. and there is
every hope that all will lie well.
For two days we made our way up
n good sized river. some hundreds OF
yards broad and dark In color. but
transparent, so that one could usually
see the bottom. The affluents Of the
Amazon are half of them, Of this na-
ture, while the other half are whitish
and Opaque, the difference depending
upon the class of country through which
they have flowed The dark indicate
vegetable decay, while the others point
to clayey soil. Twice we came across
rapids and in each case made port
age of half a mile or so to avoid them
The woods on either side were prime
val, which are more easily penetrated
than woods of the second growth, and
we had no great difficulty In carrying
our canoes through them. How shall
l ever forget the solemn mystery of It?
The height of the trees and the thick
ness of the boles exceeded anything
which 1 In my town bred life could
have imagined, shooting upward in
magnificent columns until. at an enor-
nous distance above our heads, we
could dimly discern the spot where
they threw out their side branches into
Gothic upward curves which coalesced
to form one great matted roof Of YER
dure, through which only an occasional
golden ray of sunshine shot downward
to trace a thin dazzling line of light
amid the majestic obscurity. AS we
walked noiselessly amid the thick, soft
carpet of decaying vegetation the hush
fell upon our souls which comes upon
us in the twilight of the abbey, and
even Professor Challenger's full chest
ed notes sank into q whisper. Alone
1 should have been ignorant of the
names of these of giant growth, but our
men Of science pointed out the cedars,
the great silk cotton trees and the red
wood trees, with all that profusion of
various plants which has made this
continent the chief suppiier to the hui
man race of those gifts of nature
which depend upon the vegetable
world. while it IS the most backward
in those products which come from
animal life.

narrative proceeds. But already we
have enrolled certain retainers who
may play no small part in what is TO
come. The first is a gigantic negro
named Zambo. who is a black Her
cules, as willing as any horse and
about as intelligent. Him we enlisted
at Para on the recommendation of the
steamship company. on whose vessels
he had learned to speak hating Eng
lish.
1t was at Para also that we engaged
Gomez and Manuel. two half breeds
from up the river, just come down
with q cargo Of redwood. They were
swarthy fellows. bearded and fierce, as
active and wiry as panthers- Both of
them had spent their lives in those
upper waters of the Amazon which
we were about TO explore, and it was
this recommendation which had caused
Lord John to engage them. One of
them. Gomez, had the further advan-
tage that he could speak excellent
English. These men were willing to
act as our personal servants, to cook,
to row or to make themselves useful
in any way at a payment of So
month. Besides these, We had engag-
ed three Nlojo Indians from Bolivia,
who are the most skillful Mt fishing
and boat work of all the river tribes.
The chief Of these we called Mojo,
after his tribe, and the others are
known as Jose and Fernando. Three
white men. then. two half breeds. one
negro and three Indians made up the

fne NeF2nda.
Manaos before starting upon its singu-
lar quest.
AT last after a weary week, the day
had come and the hour. / ask you to
picture the shaded sitting room Of the
Fazenda st. Ignatio. two miles inland
from the town of Manaos. Outside lay
the yellow, brassy glare of the sun
shine, with the shadows of the palm
trees as black and definite as the trees
themselves. The air was calm, full of
the eternal hum of insects, a tropical
chorus of many octaves, from the
deep drone Of the bee to the high,
keen pipe Of the mosquito. Beyond
the veranda was a small cleared gar
den, bounded with cactus hedges and
adorned with clumps of Towering
shrubs, round which the great blue
butterflies and the tiny humming
birds 1uttered and darted in crescents
Of sparkling light. Within We were
seated round the cane table, on which
lay a sealed envelope. Inscribed upon
1t in the jagged handwriting of Pro-
fessor Challenger were the words:
Instructions to Lord John Roxton and
party. To be opened at Manaos upon July
Is, at II o'clock precisely.
Lord John had placed his watch upon
the table beside him.
I'VE have seven more minutes" said
he. THE old dear is very precise"
Professor Summarize gave an acid
smile as he picked up the envelope In
his gaunt hand.
What can it possibly matter wheth-
er we open it now or in seven min
utes?' said he. at is all part and
parcel Of the same system OF quackery
and nonsense for which l regret TO
say that the writer is notorious"
"Oh, come! We must play the game
accordin' to rules" said Lord John.
Its old man Challenger's show, and
we are here by his good will. so II
would be quite bad form IL we didn't
follow his instructions to the letter"
"A pretty business it Isl cried the
professor bitterly. 1T struck me as
preposterous in London, but I'm bound
to say that it seems even more so upon
closer acquaintance. l don't know
what is inside this envelope; bur. I'M
less it is something pretty definite, /

world than 10 run about disproving
the assertions of a lunatic. Now. Rox-
ton. surely fl is time"
Time 1t is" said Lord John. "You I
can blow the whistle" He took I'D /
the envelope and cut II with his pen
knife. From IL he drew folded sheet /.
OF paper This he carefully opened
out and fattened on the table. IL was
q blank sheet. He turned 1t over.
