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
iiver and bowels - there's no need of
having a 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 for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomei. are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exubersnce of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

PAPERS DISCUSS ALLIANCE
New Teutonic Pact Provides for Strict
err Military Obligations.

Washington, May 17.-According to
a dispatch from Switzerland, the Ber-
lin newspapers indicate the basis of
a new treaty of alliance agreed upon
at the recent conference between the
German and Austrian emperors con-
templates fixing 25 years as the period
for the duration of the alliance, the
imposition Of stricter military obliga-
tions upon each nation and the regula-
ton of economic relations so as to real
ize the Mittel Europa plan.
The same message says advices
from Vienna are to the effect that no
formal agreement was signed because
the moment did not seem opportune,
but that nevertheless, the direction
and basis of the new treaty were def
nitely fixed and that it only remains
to frame the different clauses.
