Keep Looking Young
It's Easy-lf 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-pimpleSa 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 ply
stefan in Ohio, perfected a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil to
act on the liver and bowels, which
he gave to his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. the
substitute for calomel, are gentle in
6eir action yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance
Of spirit. that natural buoyancy
which should be enjoyed by every
one, by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.

FRIEND Of ALSACE
IS MADE governor
Germany Selects Karl Hauss, Mem
Der Of Reichstag and Critic of
Previous Administration.

AMSTERDAM, October 11.-Kar1
Hauss, a member of the reichstag and
president OF the center party in the
Prussian diet, has been chosen to sue
coed the governor of Alsace-Lorraine,
who is expected to retire momenta-
rily. according to a Strasburg tele-
gram. published in the Dutch news
papers.
Karl Hauss represents Alsace in the
German reichstag and has frequently
in speeches to that body criticised the
attitude of the German government
toward Alsace and Lorraine. Last
June he told the members of the
reichstag that Alsatians who had been
acquitted by military courts. after
having once been baniShed, had again
been sent away in disregard of the
law. He declared there was no doubt
that discomfort prevailed in Alsace,
but added that il the reichstag did it's
duty this feeling would vanish.
On another occasion Herr Hauss
said it was diSgraceful that the AL
sace-Lorraine parliament had been
forbidden to discuss the question of
autonomy for the provinces. He add
ed that it was imperative that the
imperial chancellor should put an end
to this violation of the constitution of
the provinces and should give the
military authorities to understand
that their power was limited by the
constitution.
