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 and bowels-there's no need
OF having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
Iious look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent
OF all sickness comes from inactive bowels
and liver.
-, Or. Edwards. a well-ltnown physician in
onio, 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-
.ute for calomeI, are gentle tn their action,
vet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance OF
spirit, that natural buoyancy which should

Hver and clearing the system of impurities.

Voice Of the Peop'e


Says Drain Traps are Dangerous.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
Did you ever walk down South
Fifth street and see the traps that
they have got to drain the street?
The two at Fifth and Cedar are near
ly big enough for horse to fall in
and the drain at Fifth and Carroll is
dangerous as it sits out in the street
They have been filling in for the
sidewalks from the tracks to the
bridge on Fifth street and they have
got mud from two to six inches deep
from Cedar street to B street. This
street has been in this condition for
over a month.
I think it Is about time to put
man in office that KNOWS something
about putting in drains and streets,
and that will go as good work on the
south and west end as they do on the
north side.

Fifteen of the largest and most
powerful passenger engines ever
built in this country are now in the
regular service Of the Burlington rail
road. They are used on tho regular
through passenger runs from Chicago
to st. Paul, Omaha. Kansas City and
Denver. The verdict of the men who
operate them is that In every respect
they are far superior to the old en-
gines of the smaller type.
These monster new Let mo pull

over seventy-flve feet long and weigh
212h tons. A man six feet tall. wear
ing silk hat, can stand erect in
the little end of the boiler, and an
ordinary sized barrel may DO pia led
inside the big cylinders. The pulling
power of these Goliaths Of the rails
is SO great that the coaches of the
heaviest trains are like mere trailers.
There is no Jerking" o. "buckiag''

these engines when once under way

10000 People Hear Scovilie Speak on Sunday
Scovlilegrams
Sunday Afternoon

There's one thing like about Keo-
kuk, and that is, everybody seems to
be cheerful.
Whenever your legs aren't going for
God they are going wrong; when your
brain or arms or hearts aren't going
for God they're going wrong.
Some men would become Christians
but they haven't got the backbone
they have a wish bone. Others have
the nerve but they lack the good,
hard, sterling-silver character.
A lot of you men pay all your debts
but the one you owe Almighty God.
A lot of good can be done in this
old world If you'll just mosey up, gen.
tlemen, and do the manly thing.
If God should give some of you the
once over with an X-ray today he
would see clear through your old
guards and find everything but
soul.
You've pampered and petted and
stuffed your old carcasses and let your
imm ortal souls die out
This old body of ours Is a mighty
fine machine when its working right
but Its miserable wreck after 1t has
rotted.
II man hasn't got manhood
enough to be clean for his own sake
and for the sake of God, for the sake
of his ch1ldren-the boys and girls
who will have to wear his name-he
ought to straighten up.
If any old cuss in this room is so
rotten he can't stand that. let him
get up and get out and let the crowd
know he's rotten by doing it.
God or no God, hell or no hell, it
pays man to be a man.
If some OF us men would just con-
suit those little wives who have to
bear and share our successes and our
failures before we go into business
deal, how much better 1t would be.
You might as well try to climb up
into the sky and blow out the sun
with your breath; as well try to choke
back Vesuvius with your finger-as
to fight against God. The man who
is fighting Almighty God is fighting
a loosfng game.
I'll take my stand upon this old BIZ
BILE and I'll defy every devil this side
Of hell to undo me as long as I bank
on God.
There's one man that all the devils
in hell can't beat. That's the man
who's trying to do right.
Theodore Roosevelt has lot Of crit
it's but he's got sand enough to say
right out in meetin' what he thinks.
And I'm not republican, either.

was another assertion. "These old
devils who run around with every old
bag in town and go off to other towns

apologize to the skunk and lizard and

that"
Evolution With God In Il.
'T believe In evolution" he said
when God is at the beginning Of It,
all through 1t and at the end. But evo-
luton that dethrones Almighty God Is
the most damnable heresy that ever
was started We have some ola
skDrks teaching In our high schools
and state universities who try to de-
throne God. I'll tell you right now
that I'll put out those guys eyes, and
throw them into the middle Of the Mis-
stssippi river before I'm done.
"Once in a while fellow like that
gets into Sunday school as teach
er. They ought to take him by the
nape Of the neck and the seat OF tho
pants and stick him under the dam"
he shouted and the audience ap-
plauded.
"Some people say, T don't hike that
talk Well the doors opsn-go to It."
said ScoviIle. as he finished q TRADE

pie paid two dollars head to hear
him make light Of God and His an
gels. Old Bob just bobbed around for
a while and then God bobbed him un.
der and that ended Bob" he said
bluntly.
The man who calls himself a man
and runs around town Dragging be-
cause he pays his debts, if he doesn't
pay God the debt he owes Him for the
food he eats, the water he drinks and
the air he breathes; If he doesn't bow
down and thank God for his dear ones
for his life-he is no man.
Hts Evolution Theories.
Scoville knocked the theory of evo-

thing that tickles me-" he grinned.
ut Is for some great big smart alec
to come ND and tell me- that he actual
