come home late at night from a dance
and there are more couples than a

be proper for girl to sit on one of

been going together for about six
months and he calls on her three
times a week and brings her candy,
does that show he loves her?

BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarInless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomei - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver IS
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomei.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little oliye-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or caloulel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth!
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It's best nc;
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards,
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear" ciouded
brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits.

COMMUNICATION

Seward, Alaska, April 21, 1917. Editor, Seward Gateway: In the northern part of our city lives a family in front of whose resi- dence floats beautiful American flag
 When passing underneath it's folds I am inclined to remove my hat in honor to the cherished flag. Also to the brave and patriotic family, who have unfurled it in the face of for eign foe. They show no thoughtless- ness, no indifference, no fear. If it were possible l would that it should be the last to be lowered before an in- vading military deSpot.
 am inclined to ask myself, "are the people of Seward going to allow this little flag to stand alone"
 If every family in Seward would unfurl a little flag, also all business houses, as well as all seeming public buildings, what an inspiring sight it would be. The wet, Slimy Sordid blan- ket would be kicked off at once, A patriotic fire would spring up in the blood of American citizens and warm ed in life would flow through their veins with an ungovernable force, with a new meaning.
 The recruiting officers in our city would no longer need to call for re- cruitS.
 The strangers landing on our shores would know they were on soil belong ing to the United States of America, every foot of which is pledged to their protection, as we'll as to crush those

who would betray or destroy them.
 The flag poles on many buildings that now stand looking like mute sen tinels of some prehistoric age, would become a thing of life, grand beyond comparison.
 The United States of America wants no whimpering, cringing American citizen in this life and death struggle.
 There is no room for the gum-shoe patriot
 Where the Stars and Stripes go we will follow. Within it's folds we may read if we will the pages of inspiring history past. And now that it is raised in defiance against foreign foe by a united people, we are ready to follow it into the depth of the hidden future, resting in the be- lief that truth and justice is our cause, and that our victory will be full and complete Yours, for the United States of America.
