Discussing the strawberry outlook,

"This is one of the few strawberry

The fields are in fine condition and
it appears that the crop Will be a

variety grown. The growers mulch
their berry fields with much straw

HOW THIS LOAN DIFFERS
Secretary Glass Compares Victory
Issue With Preceding Liberty
Bonds.

Since the announcement by Carter
Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, that
the Victory Liberty Loan issue would
consist of Victory Notes instead of
Liberty Bonds, the question has been
asked, What is the difference be-
tween the bonds and the nOtes2'
The answer is simple: There is Vir-
tually no difference. A Liberty Bond
is the Governments longterm promise
to pay. The Victory Note is the Gov
ernment's short-term promise to pay.
In other words, where bond may
not mature for a period of ten or
more years, the note must mature
within a period of five years at the
most.
The security in both cases is the
same-the entire resources Of the
united States back them both.
Al to the terms of the forthcoming
Victory Liberty Loan, no comparison
may be made with the Liberty Bond
issues because the announcements as
to terms will not be made, accosding
to Secretary Glass, until few days
before the campaign begins.
The notes are, more advantaguous
than the bonds, as can be seen by
even the veriest tyro in fnancst owing
to the fact that their shorter term Of
maturity has a tendency to stabilize
their prices because purchasers are
more apt to hold them.

Prussian gang and with the Hun out

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 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. .

The Many Mysteries of

You can takean onion seed and pansy

and get opium 8 dangerous, hahit-forming

get something THAT helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain

invisible life gem in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
