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 sallow complex
lon-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 inactive
bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well known physi-
clan 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.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute 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 every one, by tonlng
up the liver and clearing the system
Of impurities.

VIII yield again another day.
At least, that is the way it usually works
out. The first yielding makes the second
yielding great deal easier. and this in
turn makes it still easier to yield the next
time. Now, Mr. GoShawk made a great
mistake the first time he visited Farmer
Browns yard in quest Of pigeons He
wasn't starving. He was getting enough
to eat in the Green Forest. But when
from long distance away he saw those
pigeons and knew how easy it would be

they have learned that man as an enemy
is worse than all other enemies together.
But it was not SO with Mr.. Goshawk

to temptation, as you know. That was but
the beginning. The very next time he was

is n banner Of patriotism in red, white
and blue floating over this spot Wom-
en- arc told by the dressmakers that
combination clothes are at the height
Of fashion and that ono Is as loyal to
tho government in saving material as
in saving coal, sugar and wheat.
Mind you. tho dpessmaker doesn't
argue with tho woman or persuade her
to try the effect of her own skill in
combining several materials for one
costume. She insists that 1t must be
left to her artistry.
A Danger Spot.
The dressmakers are canny. however,
and they know human nature, or they
wouldn't be successful. Therefore, they
are certainly shrewd enough to realize
that many women will go homo and
try out the products OF an old trunk
in the shaping OF a new frock. believ-
ing that they can turn the old into the
new by some sartorial miracle which
they have the power to work.
The designers. II they realize this
peril, know full we'll that much con-
fuson and discouragement will result
and that they may get the best Of the
bargain in the end.
Disregarding the arguments pro and
con. the fact Is that fashionable frock
may be made from three pieces of sep
arate and opposed materials and a
fourth thrown in for good measure. in
the way of ornamentation.
Every one knows by this time that 1t
Is not necessary to match the coat to
the skirt or the blouse to the skirt, and
we have been thoroughly persuaded in
the last three weeks that separate
sleeves may emerge from the armholes
of a blouse that has nothing in COM
mon with them in color or in weave.
1t is no longer necessary to cling to
the one color or one fabric from chin
to ankle, a dictum which has ruled the
world for nearly decade and has re-
suited in admirable dressing. If a
woman wishes to wear a blouse of ono
kind, sleeveless tunic Of another, q
belt Of some ornate material that she
has picked up from a spot in her attic
or the corner of a shop. and then COM
bfne these with a plaid, checked or
plain skirt, there is no one to say her
nay. Let US hope that her long train
ing in careful dressing Will give her
strength and power in selecting the op-
posing fabrics she is now allowed to
throw together.

Stood First Test Well.

There Is the lieutenant's report from
which 1t Is pretty clear that some men
in the platoon were asleep underground
and SO were captured, that those who
were awake and in that part of the
trench that the Germans entered put up
fine fight with whatever weapons they
had that a corporal out In listening
post took his life in his hands and emp
tied his rifle at Germans who were all
around him in the dark. and that, in
short, the American soldier stood well
his first test in a fight. OF the three
men killed one was killed by a shell
before the raid began. Now. Of course,
these men had little or no idea of what
actually was happening: they only
knew that shells were falling all about,
that Germans suddenly leaped upon
them, that there was q confusion Of
shots and cries, and then that it was
over Now here is approximately what
happened:
In the month of August, long before
American troops entered the sector,
the Germans started to prepare that
raid.
Then. one day late in October. they
found Americans were facing them,
were occupying. in fact, the very
trench salient that they had chosen to
raid.r Just how they knew that Ameri-
cans were there does not matter-the
first some of them knew was when
they saw brown helmets instead of
blue from their observation posts. I'M
mediately they decided to carry out
the long-planned raid at once.
