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 complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - 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 physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients fer years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute 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
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear.

Heavy Rain at Hastings.

Bastings, Okla, April S.-One OF
the finest rains fell here Friday night
and Saturday, putting a broad smile
on the faces OF the otherwise long
faced farmers. This is the first
good ground-soaker which has fall
en- in this part OF the state in a
year. 1t began to fall slowly and
continued unremttingly for more
than ten hours, filling up the water
reservoirs which have been bone dry
for more than three months, and
insuring the wheat and oat crops,
which were looking badly around
here. The farmers are happy, and
came to town through the rain in
order to congratulate one another
on the fine prospects tor crop.
Everybody was wet and happy.
Even the boys and girls who are
trying to raise war gardens became
so enthusiastic that they went out
in the drenching rains to hoe and
plant gardens. This rain caused
almost as much JOY among our
people as a report that our armies
had turned the Hun flank and were
chasing them through to Berlin.

A Dangerous Practice

J. M. Lee, local agent for the Santa Fe railroad company. has called our attention to the dan ger of death or serious injury to persons who crawl under. or climb over freight trains stand ing on the tracks in Holbrook. This practice is followed more by children going and coming from school and it is one that should be emphatically discour- aged by all the parents.
 To go under or oyer a train. which may start at any moment, is an exceedingly hazardous un- dertaking for a man; for a child to do it is to take a greater risk than soldiers in French trenches take in a hot battle. Parents should explain the danger to their children and should use their efforts to prevent them from crawling under or over trains.
 The railroad officials keep the crossing at the station clear as we'll as they can and it is only short walk from either end of the road to this crossing. Far better to take this walk than to take chance of being killed or maimed by crawling under a train.
