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 a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - 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, a 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.

quite lively time for two nights.
The Germans. thinking hostile pa
troll was near them, opened fire with
their rifles at the point where the op-
posing trenches are nearest. The
Americans let the Germans fire for a
time and then they themselves began
to fire. Several German alrplanes
which flew over the trenches were
targets for rifles and machine guns.
Morale Excellent.
The morale OF the Americans Is
distinctly pleasing to the French. The
troops marched out of the trenches
in the dark. their wet and muddy
clothes clinging to them. AS soon as
they were out of hearing of the Ger
mans the men swung along whistling
or singing.
Officers of all the groups comment
ed on the remarkably small amount
of sickness which developed. There
are some bad colds but as far as re-
ported there are less than half a
dozen cases including trench feet
and pneumonia. An officer said the
splendid physical condition OF the
men was responsible for this showing.
The battalions sent in to relieve the
men who have just left the trenches
found the ground frozen when they
came up. The section remains nor

GATHERING DATA FOR
CHAMBER COMMERCE
Oil Information Sought for
Records of United States
Commercial Club.

Realizing that in Tulsa the opinions
expressed by the oil men and busi-
ness men of the city are reflected In
other parts of the mid continent field,
Adolph Holdt, field secretary OF the
Cham ber of Commerce of the United
States of America, has come to Tulsa
for the purpose of making his head
quarters here for several days, dur
ing which time he Will gather data
to be used by the national organiza-
ton in aiding the national war coun-
Gil in its many activities.
For n number of years Secretary
Holdt was active secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce at Houston,
Texas, and 1t was during his adminis-
tration as secretary there that Hous-
ton gained its wide publicity which
soon resulted in its being recognized
as the metropolis of Texas and one of
the leading cities of the south and the
southwest
HOldt Is Guest.
Holdt was guest at the MONDAY
luncheon Of the directors Of the Cham
Der of Commerce yesterday, and in n
few words outlined to the directors of
the local organization the duties of
the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United states and explained briefly the
many advantages 1t had for anticipat-
ing legislation which was fostered by
IL for the national welfare of business
men. While not advancing the thot
that there is conflict between the real
aims Of organized labor and the busi-
ness man, Mr.. Holdt declared that thru
the labor organizations the laboring
men were able to present In proper
form their desires and expressions,
while until the advent of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
there was no medium, non-political,
non -denominational and unselfish that
could serve this medium for the small
as well as the large business men of
the country.
Go Before Cabinet.
Thru the Chamber Of Commerce of
the United States" he declared, "and
/ am glad to say that your secretary
has seen the importance of having this
organization affiliated with the ma
tional organization, We are able to
learn the wishes of the business men.
BY referendum we are able to get an
expression of the attitude of the busi-
ness men, and then go before the
house, the senate, the cabinet and even
the president and say: Here is what
the business men want; II Is for the
best interest of tho country; It Is their
desire that certain laws and regula-
tions be made, with the result that
these laws are made"
Secretary Holdt will remain in Tulsa
several days, securing individual men,
bers to The C. C. y. S. and will make
his headquarters at the Chamber OF
Commerce with Secretary Douglas.

Thrilling Tales Told by First
Bunch of Sammies Back
From Front Trenches.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 2.->Some Of the
American soldiers who have just been
relieved after service in the trenches,
had thrilling stories to tell on return
ing to the billets. On clear days
especially German snipers became
active. Bullets went singing harm
lessly overhead. American infantry
men were told to attend to any sniper
who became active and more than one
Of them will snipe Americans no
more.
This game of sniping the sniper
was highly popular. The only com
plant heard today was that there was
not enough rifle shooting to satisfy
the infantrymen. Several of the sol
diers said they went out to fight but
did not ~get enough. There Is no
scarcity of expert riflemen when a
sniper starts in.
Observation Post Ranged.
A colonel had an exciting exper-
ience when the Germans nearly got
the range of an observation post In
which he and his aide were. They
lost no time in taking temporary
cover.
The artillery on both sides was
rather more active during the last
days In which the first contingent of
Americans was in the trenches. The
Germans shelled the back areas and
approaches. putting shrapnel ana
high explosive shells in the direction
of the trenches and battery positions.
Aside from livening up things for a
while nothing was accomplished by
the enemy.
The infantry in one section had
