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 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, 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.

Whether the Germans are better fed
than they should be is a matter Of
viewpoint. A guest of a fine hotel
would be dissatisfied with the food
the United States furnishes and expert
chefs from the big liners prepare. On
the other hand, there are many people
who would be pleased to get high quail
lily western meat twice a day, as the
Germans frequently do, with an abun-
dance of vegetables, coffee, rye bread,
butter, tea and stewed fruit. Steak Is
not unknown, although stews and
rOasts are more common.
Local sentiment is somewhat stirred
by the fact that the United States Off
Gals do not enforce the meatless and
Wheatless days which Mr.. Hoover
urges on Americans. And criticism Is
directed because all purchases of food
and selection Of the daily menus are
made by one of the Germans them
selves. People ask what motive a Ger
mae would have to conserve food for
his country's enemies. This agent Is
d. Peinert, former purchasing agent in
New York for the neutrality-suspicious.
line.
Officials in charge Of the camp de-
fend Peinert's selection on the ground
that he is highly capable. They say
that for months the per capita cost
Of raw food has been only As cents a
day, and insist that the hogs fed on
the garbage are %sQuealing complaints
Of short rations. They have no orders
from Washington to enforce the Hoo
yer regulations, they add.

Cage ball combines the play

the rush and drive of football,
the exciting moments of basket

The game can be played by n

number of players. Thus the

Sabotage and

BY ISOBEL FIELD
OF Tao HfGfonsss

Has II occurred to anyone that the

What attracted my attention was

different initials but the wording and
arguments were the same. Dogs eat
sheep. We need mutton. Therefore,
all dogs should lie exterminated."
All over the West last summer there
were unusually destructive forest
fires; crops were destroyed, cattle
poisoned, and a mysterious horse dis
ease appeared In many localities.
Though the evidence has not been
made public. 1t Is common knowledge
that these depredations were the work
of enemy aliens. The work was done
with n system that suggested German
efficiency, and was no doubt paid for
by German money. That being so. the
