HAVE COLOR IN YOUR CHEEKS
Be Better Looking-Take
Olive Tablets

If your skin is yellow-complexion
paliid-tongue coated-appetite poor
You have bad taste in your mouth-a
lazy, no-good feeling-you should take
Olive Tablets.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-a sub
stitute for calomel-were prepared by
DIR. Edwards after II years of study
with his patients, and are purely vege-
table compound mixed with olive oil.
You will know them by their olive
color.
To have a clear. pink skin, bright
ewes. no pimples. a feeling of buoyancy
like childhood days you must get at
the cause.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act on
the liver and bowels like calomel-yet
have no dangerous after effects. They
start the bile and overcome constipa-
ton. That's why millions of boxes are
) sold annually at l0c and 25c per box.
All druggists. Take one or two nightly
and note the pleasing results.

STATE COMMITTEE
FAVORS DRAFT

Philadelphia, Pa, April 27.-With
farewell address as it's slogan
Heaven can never smile on a ma
ton that disregards the eternal rules
of order and right"-the Executive
Committee of the Committee of Pub
lie Safety to-day made public the
first report of its organization and
activities since its appointment by
Governor Brumbaugh.
The function of the committee is
to provide for the safety of the
Commonwealth in time of war. An
adequate discharge of this duty may
necessitate a wide range of activities
and a large expenditure of money
and effort.
Perhaps the most serious aspect of
the food supply problem to be con-
sidered by the committee is the
shortage of agricultural labor. Where
the farm and the farmer are unable
to attract laborers, the appeal of
patriotism may succeed. A call to
men to enlist for necessary labor
may be made as compelling as a call
to arms. 1t is possible that it will
become the duty of the committee
to make such q call. 1t is also pos
sible that the committee may be of
use in cooperation with the local
labor, exchange and with such agri-
cultural intelligence bureaus as may
be developed to inform producers of
points where their produce is most
needed and to inform consum ers
where their needs are most likely to
be met.
Industrial Survey
An industrial survey must take ac-
count of the productive capacity OF
all the plants in the Commonwealth
| which are or may be engaged in
food supply or in the production OF
! things needed by an army in train
| ing or in the field. 1t is not enough
to know that great quantities of mu-
nitions can be produced in this
State. The question is to what ex-
tent weapons can be produced which
are in accordance with the War De.
partment standards and how fast
ammunition can be supplied whicf
| fits the guns with which our national
army is to be equipped.
| Military Service
| The Executive Committee affirm.
with confidence that a compulsor.
military system, having due regard
to the necessity of continuing in theil
present occupations those who car
thus render their best service to thi
nation is the only democratic, fai
and effective system upon which tn,
defense of the country can be plan
ned.
The primary duty of the militar.
department will be cooperation witt
the Federal government in tn
creation of the national army. Th
precise form which this activity will
take cannot be determined until Con
gress has acted. In any event ther
must be recruiting for the officers
reserve corps and for the camps Il
which applicants for commissions il
the corps are expected to be traine,
while the national army is in process
of being raised. Once the plan O
national defense has been determine
by Congress the duties of this de
partment will become active an
urgent.
