SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
PLANNING A VISIT TO THE
CORN BELT AND OTHER GRAIN
PRODUCING SECTIONS.

Washington Aug. t4-Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo, is planning a
new tour Of the United States in the
interest Of the second Liberty Loan.
Feeling that his hurried trip at the
time the books for the first loan we're
open did considerable good in getting
subscriptions, he is arranging a more
extensive tour
Mr.. McAdoo expects to cover prac-
tlcally the entire country He will
talk to bankers an business men
and also will try to reach the rank and
file of the people from whose pockets
the money comes A particular effort
will be made 10 induce the farmers
of the country to invest in the Liberty
Loan. This class Of citizens were
not well represented in the first issue
so the government regards the great
farming element as practically an un.
tapped source from which many mil
lions Of dollars can be drawn.
The farmers will be getting large
sums Of cash in return for their crops
before the second Liberty Loan
closes, and Secretary McAdoo will
try to induce them to put these funds
into the Liberty Loan, rather than
INFO savings accounts in banks or in
secret hiding places still maintained
BY many persons in fural districts.
An earnest attempt will be made
by the Treasury to draw from hiding
places large sums of this Stocking
money Il has been estimated that
as much as 100000 in gold. silver
and paper money is thus secreted
away. There can be no definite way
Of an accurate estimate, but bankers
have guessed that some such huge
sum has been hidden by old-fashioned
people afraid Of the banking system
or by people remote from financial in.

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 sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face = dub eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a 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 substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.
