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-t -there'snoneedo of hav-
ing a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctorwill tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, 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 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 en-,
joyed byeveryone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.
You will know DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and

NO MORE CATARRH
A Guaranteed Trea !ment That Hns
stood the Test of Vine

Catarrh cures come and catarrh
cures 60 but Hyomei continues to heal
catarrh and abolish its disgusting
symptoms wherever civilization exists.
Every year tie already enormous
sales of this really scientific treat
ment for catarrh grow greater, and
the present year should show all rec
ords broken.
If you breathe HyomeI daily as d.
rected it will end your catarrh, or il
won't cost you a cent.
If you have hard rubber HyomeI
inhaler somewhere around the house
get it out and start 1t at once to for.
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
ii. c. Kennedy, or any other good
druggist, will sell you bottle Of
Hyomei Qiquid), start to breathe it
| and notice now quickly it clears out
the air passages and makes the entire
head feel fine.
Hyomei used regularly will end ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis or
asthma. a complete outfit, including
hard rubber pocket inhaler and bot
tie of Hyomei, costs but little. No
stomach dosing; just breathe it. It
kills the germs, soothes and heals the
inflamed membrane.-Adverti

nine deaths in Harrisburg. the ma
5ority OF them caused by pneu-
monia. in many cases developing
from influenza. A comparison OF
this death rate shows that during
the entire month of october. 1glI I.
there were only seven more deaths
than were reported last week.
Drastic action will be taken. DR..
Raunick said, TO enforce the order
that funerals are to be private. "A
number of violations OF this order
will be investigated and II the prac-
tice of permitting q large number OF
relatives and friends TO attend the
service is not stopped prosecutions
will be brought as every undertaker
knows his duty. OvercroHded cabs
are dangerous to- the health of the
people, The order concerning private
funerals lis that only adult membsrs
of deceased persons family may
attend and tt must be obeyed."
i6 Die In 4S Hours
Sixteen deaths have been report
ed in the last two days caused either
by pneumonia or influenza. One OF
the latest deaths reported is that OF
DR. Hyman r. Wiener. 254 State
at the Harrisburg Hospital.
The number of patients at the
hospitals is increasing but with the
opening of the emergency hospital
/ nthe open air school building to
care for convalescents it is believed
sufficient room has been provided
for the present. Ten patients are now
under treatment at the emergency
hospital and more will probably be
taken there. The need of trucks to
serve as ambulances is increasing.
DIR. Raunick said to-day that large
number of motor trucks large
enough to hold stretchers would fill
the ambulance needs. Nurses and or
derlies are wanted also, particularly
the latter and it is preferred that
men volunteer for this service. No
medical experience is needed.
Church Is offered
Another church was offered for
hospital purposes yesterday when
the health officials were notified
they could use the Memorial LWh-
eran building at Fifteenth and Shoop
streets. 1t is not thought that an
other emergency hospital will be
epidemic continue to spread plans
will be made for opening another
building.
So far no violations of the order
closing all stores on Saturday night
have been reported to DIR. Raunick.
With the exception of drug stores,
every other business place closed
promptly at $50 o'clock, many of the
smaller ones such as cigar stores re-
manning closed yesterday also.
1t has been reported to DIR. Rau-
nick that in some restaurants ice
cream Is being served when a piece
OF pie or cup of coffee is ordered.
This is violation of hte health bu-
reau order, lie said, and will result
IN prosecutions if the practice is not
discontinued
One of the most important events
III county school work during the
year scheduled for this week has
been postponed indefinitely because
OF the epidemic. The county teach
ers' institute, which was to have
been held in the city opening to-day,
has been postponed, after complete
Mans had been made for the ses-
sions, instructors engaged and pro-
grams printed. The institute may be
held later in the year, it was said.
