Keep LOOKING YOUNG
Its 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 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 sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance Of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

tired in the uniform of an American
soldier. Surely we do not realize the
full meaning Of the word soldier.
Caste and social distinction are not
considerations in this, the most cru.
cta1 moment our country has ever
ever known, and it is to be hoped the
above mentioned incidents are due 70
an individual rather than to any body
Of men, young or old.
Surely, the boys who have volun-
teered to go-they know not where
or when-oy this act alone, are prov
ing they are not afraid Of the horrors
of war as daily depicted by the for
eign correspondents. These men de-
serve every consideration from the
people and public organizations OF
Keokuk.
And to the women who are laborinS
so zealously in the glorious cause OF
the Red Cross and the French aid, let
them take unto themselves the never
old and always true saying: "Char-
ity begins at home,' and slip in few
days for ''our boys" Aside from their
regular issue the soldiers must pos
sess the following articles: Toota
brush, towel, comb and soap. Many
of them are out of money, not hav-
ing been in the service yet a month,
and cannot obtain these small re-
ouisites.
Cannot something be done to help
them? This Is not tremendous lack,
and a day or two of work to supply
these needs would not tax any one
person to any great extent.
Perhaps in the not far distant fu-
ture one Of these very boys may carve
another notch Of valiant lleroism in
the standard of our grand old flag; |
then with what pride we would claim |
him as one of "our boys!'
But now it would seem they are
shown little respect or courtesy, and
surely at least courtesy is due to
one who champions the cause of our
country. even though he be private.
Is not this food for thought and a
lemand for immediate attention?

to call our attention to the fact that
right here at home there are things
waiting to be done; matters which
perhaps in our concern for the far
away soldiers we have overlooked?
In other words, are "our boys" get
ting the attention due them?
Is there not something wrong when
they are refused the use of the only
public bathing pool in the city?
If they have passed the rigid ply
steal examination which Is one of the
requisites of the "militaire," surely no
civilian has the right to question them
from a standpoint Of sanitation. a
good many of these boys have no
homes nearby and are sleeping at the
armory, which is by no means equip
ped for a sanitary mode of living;
therefore 1t is quite natural that the
boys would go to the public pool for
their baths, but because they were
other reason given-they
we're denied this privilege. 1t is al
most incredible-and unjust, to say
he least.
