DOES NOT QUESTION
 LOYALTY OF NEGROES

Little Rock, April 23.-Loyalty is essentially the predominating charac- teristic of the negro race, according to Gov. c. H. Brough, and he has no fears that the negroes of the United States will be excited into rebellion by the German agents working in the South.
 "In all the pages of history We have never heard of a negro traitor and l am confident that we never will,' states Dr. Brough. "The negro of the South stood by his owner during the war, either going with him as ser want, or staying at home to protect his family. Though the army of the North was fighting for his emanci- patton, he did not leave the people in whom he had such great confidence. There were negroes fighting in the United States army, but they were loyal to the cause. It does not take reassurances from the negroes that they will remain loyal to the United States. I don't thing their loyalty has even been questioned by anyone familiar with the negroes, and the negro question"

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
ious 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.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, vet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
loved by everyone, by toning up the
liver and clearing the system of i'm
purities. You will know DR.. Edwards'
Olive Tablets BY their olive color. lS
