KEEP LOOKING. YOUNG
It's Easy-n 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 ol having a sali0w complexion - dark rings under your eyes - pimples - a bilious look in your face = dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, weii-lrnown physician in Ohio, perfected vegetable conn 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.

 Defendants Testimony.
 Charles A. Skinner took the stand. He said that he bought a horse from James F. Brown on May 22, 1916, giv- ing his note. He kept the horse one day and found that the animal was not as represented and took it back the next morning. MT. Brown asked what he would give for the horse and Skinner said S145. They agreed and he (Sk1nner) gave Brown & check for the amount: Brown also gave him receipt saying that the promissory note had been paid. Brown did this be- cause he said that the check was in the bank and he could not get it. He had done this before. Two weeks later he bought another horse and about the time that the note was due, Brown died.

AUTO LAW VIOLATIONS
Alleged in Case of Two Local Jit-
 neurs-Hearings Today.

Two cases of violating the automo- bile laws of the state will come be- fore the police court this (Wednes- day) morning.
 Harvey Ricard, who. was arrested Monday evening for not having the lights on the jitney that he drives un- lighted. He was told to appear in the police court Tuesday morning but he failed to show up. The police then went after him and found him about II o'clock and locked him up. Tues day evening he was on Main street, drunk, and causing little trouble, so when he failed to show up for the court Tuesday. a charge of intoxica- tion was entered against him also.
 When this charge was entered against him, it was apparent that something else was wrong as Ricard is a minor, and it is against the law to sell intoxicating liquors to a minor so the police did little more detec- tive work and found that John Vait- kevich, the saloonkeeper at 713 Main street, was probably the one who sold him the liquor so he was arrested on ttis charge. It is rumored that he also sold liquor to soldiers. The sub- ject will be aired in the police court Wednesday morning.
 - Edgar Brown, another jitney man, will also appear before the court for not having his lights lit Tuesday.
