BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Give Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver IL
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calonel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets dc the good
that calomei does, but have no bad alter
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth3
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calonei, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
sfheavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

keokuk Retailers believe That Sat.
urday's Sales Were Best
Of Spring Dollar
DayA
MANY PEOPLE COMING IN
People From Surrounding Country a.
Well az Local Buyers, En-
ioyed Good Things
Offered.

Keokuk's Dollar day Saturday was
one of the most successful spring
bargain sales that local merchants
have held.
This was the opinion Of Chairman
S. A. Miller. and number OF the
merchants who were asked today
their opinion on the big drive hero
Saturday While in some of the
stores the money taken in was not
as much as in the fall, perhaps, and
while the weather cut down some
of the out of town trade, the general
trend of opinion was that the day
was successful and the merchants are
well pleased with tho results.
II think that this was one of the
most successful spring bargain days
that we have had" was the COM
ment by Chairman Miller this morn
ing. THE real success Of such a
sale lies in the fact that we get
people into the habit of coming into
Keokuk to trade. While the weather
cut down the out of town trade in
the morning. there were many in the
city in the afternoon. The trade all
through the day was steady"
Practically all the merchants de-
clare that trade conditions were
steady during the day, and that there
was a stream of buyers in the stores
during the entire day, not few in
the morning and a few in the even
ing. but a steady line Of custom
throughout the day.
The merchants gave some unusual
bargains, figuring the cost of things
today and the general market condi-
lions, and everyone who bought
seemed to be satisfied with what he
got. With weather conditions IDEAL
this spring sale would have sur
passed the Unsuccessful one which
was held in the fall. But it will still
go down in history as the biggest
and best of the spring Dollar days.

SOME FAM IlY!
$50, 7O9, 432 Young
IN Three Years

This startling number, according to
the recent Government rat census, would
be the total, in three years time, of
pair Of rats and their descendants breed
ing unintcrrrptedlywi without deaths. This
would include 18 generations, for rat
breeds from 6 to 10 times year with an
average of 10 young at litter. The
need of suppressing the rat menace IS
self evident-particularly when you take
into consideration that, on the average,
single rat destroys S. worth OF food
stuffs annually. The total loss in a year
rom rats is $500, 900, 100000.
A new rat poison has recently been
discovered that will greatly aid the ma
ton in saving the food which is SO badly
needed by ourselves and our allies. 1t is
called Rat Mum, and destroys without
odor. Dogs and cats will not eat it. 1t
is not spread on bread, so you do not
run this risk Of having humans eat it by
mistake. Rat Mum comes in cake
You simply crumble it and put it where
the rats will get it, and you can soon rid
your place OF every one OF these waste
full, diseasc-spreading pests. In this way
you may save yourself hundreds of dol
lars yearly. And besides, you are per-
forming patriotic service, every rat you
kill. Rat Mum is sold in Is cent pacis-
ages at druggists and grocers.

Germany is paying frightfu1 price
for her gains, as evidenced by the
Official statement that her losses
have been exceedingly heavy.
The conflict has not yet developed
to a point where authorities can de-
termine whether the Germans intend
to turn toward Paris or toward the
channel ports. However. there is u
prospect that the battle front will be
extended northward. This was hint
ed in the statement that artillery
duels are reported In Artois ana
Flanders and the extension is pos
sible."
The American forces in action the
past week against the Boches in the
American sector gave good accounts
of themselves.
The German general staff is now
apparently determined to smash on
regardless of costs. Hindenburg S

April is recalled, hut authorities here
say it will not come to pass.
The possibility of some naval action
supplementing the terrific land bat

venture forth, has long been the feel
ing here, but whether new aggressive
action will be taken by the allied
fleets at this time Is a question dis
cussed as a side issue.
