Will Preserve Historic Spots.

The western front is to retain some of its battletields, at least, as war memorials. The decision of the French government to preserve in their pres ent condition selected sites, and to pro hbit any alteration will be welcomed by many who feared that the distigur- ing and mercenary hands of the cafe proprietors, the souvenir sellers, the restaurants and the hotel keepers would obliterate historic spots in their efforts to provide attractions for the coming throngs of tourists. Among the places already decided upon are the forts at Verdun, the trenches of Sois- sons, the underground mazes of Mou- quet farm, the ruins of Bapaume, and the mangled remains of PoZiereS.

49, 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 49, 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 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
ing the system of impurities.
