Through the terrific political cam

Olive Tablets

II your skin is yellow-complexion

YOU have a bad taste in your mouth-a
lazy, no-good feeling-you should take
Olive Tablets.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets sub
stitute for calomel-were prepared by
DIR. Edwards after II years of study
with his patients.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You viii 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.
DIR. 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 10c and Csc per
box. All druggists. Take one or two
nightly and note the pleasing results.

INDIANA BREWERS GET A SCARE.



Turned Against Them.
indianapolis News: There is some
thing doing in the Indiana Democratic
host-so much doing that the Indiana
brewers have swarmed on French
Lick to square themselves with
Thomas Taggart, and SO much DOING
that Mr.. Taggart has suddenly taken to
the canebrakes and impenetrable plac-
es of Mississippi.
The appearance of William Jennings
Bryan, with Carrie Nation ak out for
the brewing and liquor industry, has
considerable to do with it. He is not
only to deliver his public denunciation
of booze, and spring in an open way
the paramount issue of 1920 in Indiana,
but letters have been sent out to old
Bryan lieutenants and wheel horses of
the Democratic party all over the state
to gather in Indianapolis and meet him
in a private conference. That. however.
is only half the story.
Taggart partisanS and others who
went down in defeat on election day
are charging IL up to the brewers ana
they are proposing to give the brewers
what is coming to them. or at least to
cure them of "disloyalty". Being
thrown into a minority in the next leg
islature. Democratic personages are
proposing to bring out of this minority
side a state prohibition movement
They will at all events, it Is planned,
"shove the buck over to the Republi-
cans majority and make the brewers
roll over in their beds.
The brewers have been greatly disa0-
pointed by the sudden and unexpected
disappearance of the willy Senator Tom,
whom. above all others. they would

what was bearing down on him. for he
sent word that he had been called to

been trying to induce the brewers to
clean up the saloons. IAN awful bawl-
ing out" as one of them explained.
The Indiana brewers are much dis
turbed-there is no doubt of that. Bry-,
ans appearance and the proposed re-
taliation of Indiana Democrats are all
tending to bring more clouds over the
drab horizon. The real unnerving
thing, however, was the shock from
what happened election day Just across
the northern Indiana line. where sixty
breweries and brewery saloons in Mich
igan representing $3O.000.00O of invest
ment were engulfed by the prohibition
movement to the north and east. This
is getting too near home.

OLD LOOKS?
my DR.. Y. N. PERCY

Persons suffering from too mitch uric
acid in the system frequently look
older than they should. They age
faster and the appearance of gray hair
or baldhead in early years is, indeed,
often a sign of uric acid. The face
appears lean and haggard, lines and
wrinkles appearing in young men or
women.
The best way to combat this prenia-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest. Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. Obtain at any drug
store > s-aall package of Anuric which
IS to be taken 1,csore meals, in order to
expel the uric acid from the system. The
painful effects of baclxache, lumbago,
rheumatism, govt, due to uric acid IN
the blood should quickly disappear after
treatment with Anuric.

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS

"Acid" stomachs are dangerous
because acid irritates and in
flames the delicate lining Of the
stomach thus hindering and pre-
venting the proper action of the
stomach and leading u probably
nine-tenths of the cases of stom-
ach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and
medicinal treatments are useless
in such cases, for they leave the
source of the trouble, the acid
in the stomach as dangerous as
ever. The acid must be neutral
lied, and its formation prevented,
and the best thing for this pur-
pose is teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia, a simple antacid, taken
in a little hot or cold water after
eating. which not only neutralizes
the acid, but also prevents the
fermentation from which acid is
developed. Foods which ordinar-
lily cause distress may be eaten
without danger II the meal is
followed with a little bisurated
magnesia. which can be obtained
from any druggist, and should al
ways be Kept handy

But When They Are Ours!

We skim over the headlines of the newspapers
and don't bother much about the bloody battles
being fought in Europe, because we can't pro-
nounce the names of the cities anyway, and most
of us haven't the remotest idea where they are.
A single murder in Tacoma makes greater
impression on our minds than the killing OF
hundred thousand men in the trenches.
The hundred thousand don't disturb us very
much, because we think they're lot OF people
way off in Europe.
But if one of the hundred thousand were ours
It would be different wouldn't it?
And perhaps it is going to take just this thing
to arouse us from our lethargy.
The United States is at war with Germany
and there are certain very specific things which
every citizen of this country must do If we are to
win
What these things are is constantly being told
to us in the daily newspapers; they are being
proclaimed from the pulpit and in public halls
and the government is trying its best to make
each of us see our responsibilities.
If we were to lose this war, it would be ter
rible thing to have to realize that you had not
done your share to win.
What about it? What are you doing to help
win the war?
