KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
EldWardS' Olive Tables

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 saliow 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 we!l-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 for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for caloTnel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that eZuberance OF spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning UP the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

WAR SECRETS
Bavaria Unfolding Some Of Germany's
Plots to FoIst Great
War Upon the
World.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Ger-
many's Matched UP plot against the
peace OF the world is being unfolded
by the new Bayarian government.
Wearied of the domination of Prus-
STA over German affairs, the Bavarian
authorities are now officially releas-
ing documents detailing reports of
the former Bavarian minister to Ber-
lin and showing how Germany con-
nived with Austria-Hungary to bring
on the war.
The first summary OF these to reach
this country shows that Germany ap-
proved Austria's ultimatum to Serbia
which started the war-apparently
believing that war would be a good
thing for the dual monarchy.
The action against Serbia, the re-
port shows, was carefully deliberated
upon by Germany.
The Bavarian government revolving
against the domination of Prussia
and charging the kaisers group with
deliberately melting the war, publish
ed officially summary of report
from Lerchenfeld, the Bavarian min
lister to Berlin.
"Lerchenfeld informed his govern
ment on July Is, 1914. of the plot
Matched against peace" the summary
of the expose received in diplomatic
quarters here stated "On July Is.
he announced the Austrian ultimatum
to Serbia. saying that its deliverance
has been postponed to July % until
Mr.. Poincare and Mr.. Viviani were
on their way back from st. Peters
burg" the diplomatic dispatches
stated. He gave summary of the
note and added that 1t is plain that
Serbia cannot accept these exigencies
which are irreconcilable with her
dignity as an independent state. Ber'
lin fully approves of Austria making
use of the opportunity even at the
risk OF Interior complications. Mr.
Won Jagow like Mr.. Zimmerman, still
doubts that Vienna will maintain her
exigencies to the last. The under sec
rotary Of state tells me that Austria
Hungary, owing to her irresolution
and her discords had really become
the sick man of Europe as Turkey
was before. The Russians, Italians
Rumanians. Serbians and Montene
grins are waiting for this country tc
be divided. thanks to the victorious
intervention"
