In a recent Scott county case involr-

Peterson the supreme court has held
that the state of Iowa is not entitled
to any collateral inheritance tax on

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easyr-If You Know Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young 70 to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need OF
having 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.

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

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES PO|SONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fid-
die, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent dts spongelike pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
II you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, fur
red tongue, nasty breath or stomach
becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness Your
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know it's function or
how to release the damned up body
waste, bile and toxins.
Every man and women, sick or well,
should drink each morning before
breakfast, a glass Of hot water with
a teaspoonful Of limestone phosphate
In it, to wash from the liver and bowels
the previous days indigestible mater
ial, the poisons. sour bile and toxins,
thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh
ening the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the
stomach.
Limestone phosphate is inexpensive:
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which is sufficient for demon
stration Of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
at day in and day out.
