BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish 1t brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. Itisoest not
to take calomel, but to let backwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy'' and
heavy" Note how they ''clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

Together for Most Success
ful Meeting.

Plans are being made for the 1915
keokuk chautauqua which may be
held here this year the week Of July
l to 6. This is only a probable date,
but the committee in charge of the
chautauqua would like to hold the
sessions then, as it will give the local
assembly the first chance in this ter.
ritory. A meeting was held yester.
day to discuss plans for the session.
1t was decided to apportion to the
work of the session among different
chairmen who would have complete
control in their own departments, but
who would work in conjunction with
the cha1rmen OF other departments.
These chairmen are asked to have the
plans for their department worked
out by March Is SO that they may re,
port at a meeting to be held about
that time to talk over the 1918 ses-
sion.
President Wilson has asked that
chautauquas aid this year In the win
the war movement, and for that rea'
son assemblies Of this sort will have
more than usual interest since they
will have much in relation to the wal
in their programs.
Keokuk is planning to have n OF
the best programs possible to secure
for the session to be held here, and
no expense will be spared in making
the 1913 ~chautauqua far bigger and
better than the n last year which
was the first venture along such lines
ever undertaken here.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), Is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shdmpooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanseo the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mu1sifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

The experience of A. l.. A. camp

well ask what grows in the United
States" and expect a brief answer.
Find what the American public
reads and you will find what the
American soldier reads.
The answer is that he reads every
thing. Camp librarians are called
upon one minute for modern fiction.
The next minute they are looking for
an advanced textbook on engineer
ing.
Donors Of books for soldiers
should remember hat the American
soldier wants all sorts of books, SO
long as they are good books" Is the
advice that comes from headquarters
of the A. L. A. war service in the
library Of congress.
Textbooks offered must not be out
Of date. Those published before 1910
are not generally acceptable. Sala-
cious books will eve reach the
camps. 1t is useless to send hem.
Fiction is always in demand, Of
course. But the soldiers want poetry.
too.
Many expensive 1918 books
especially on technical subjects
must be purchased. Every volume of
fiction, biography, poetry. or history
donated will release more money
from the A. L. A. war service fund
for the purchase Of books OF instruc-
ton.
Persons responding to the call for
books can apply the test: Would
the men of my acquaintance enjoy
this book?" If the aDswer Is in tho
affirmative, it's a good book for camp
libraries.

Cooper to Prove
Famous Theories
His Remarkable Medicine Acc0mp.
fishing Wonderful Results in
Leading Cities.

Referring to the visit to Kansas
City and other Western cities, of Mr..
L. T. Cooper, the millionaire philan-
thropist and lecturer, who has COM
manded such widespread interest in
the East with his health theories and
celebrated medicine, Tanlac, E. e.
Harris, his representative, recently
said in Kansas City:
Thousands of the most prominent
people in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dem
yer, Salt Lake City, Detroit, Louis
Vile, Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis and
other cities, where his celebrated med
icine has been accomplishing such
remarkable results, are even more
enthusiastic over Tanlac than Mr.
Cooper himself.
GAS previously stated, Mr.. Cooper
contends that nine tenths of the dis
ease and i'll health of the average per-
son is due to catarrhal condition
which produces faulty digestion and
improper assimilation of the food.
ain a recent interview, Mr.. Cooper
was asked if Tanlac would relieve
kidney trouble, liver complaint, rheu-
matism and dozen other ailments
and in this connection said:
"'As l have repeatedly said, my
medicine acts directly on the mucuous
membrane, stomach and blood, ex.
polling from them the impurities and
toxic poisons, and rendering to them
strong healthy condition. | an
convinced that the stomach regulates
the condition of the blood and is the
fountain-hend of health or disease, as
the case may be. My medicine is in
tended primarily for the regulation
of the stomach and catarrhal intiam'
alton, but it no uncommon thing for
persons who have used it to come to
me and explain that it has relieved
them of rheumatism and many other
ailments, not generally recognized as
having their origin in stomach trou-
ble'.
"The ingredients or medicinal ele'
ments which make Tanlac, come from
many remote sections of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia
| West Indies, mountain States near the
Rocky Mountains, Mexico and PERT
are among the points from which the
principal parts of the preparation are
obtained. The principal laboratory OF
the Cooper Medicine Co., Inc. under
the efficient direction of a chemist OF
note, those medicinal herbs, roots and
banks are assembled in the rough and
painstakingly developed so as to attain
that high standard of efficiency
shown by the uniform preparation
Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Pennington by
the City Drug Store, in Desloge by c
A. Robertson, Elvins by Reece Drug
Co., and in Bonnie Terre by the Bonnie
Terre Pharmacy Co. (adv.)
