KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret Of keeping young is to fee
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels = there's no need OF
having saIlow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pinples = a bilious
look in your face - duh eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from iIl-
active bowels and liver. ys3
DR.. Edwards, a vell-lnown physician
in aOhio, 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 calonel, 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.

ESTABLISH CHAIR
OF RURAL MINISTRY
Methodists of New England to Train
Preachers for Rural Work at
Boston University.

BOSTON, April 2s.--A new day has
dawned for the country church in New

provide adequate leadership for the
rural church program of the Methods
centenary movement has been an
nouneed at the Boston Office Boston
university will open department o.
rural ministry as a new departure to
provide the necessary preparation Tor
leadership in this field.
The centenary leaders are convinced
that the millions of dollars to be
raised in the campaign for rural worl
will not be wisely spent if the right
sort of leadership is not available. The
weakness of the country church has
| been not only its inadequate financial
support for its ministers, but the fact
| that many pastors in the rural see
| tions have had little or no training for
their task. According to the plan just
adopted. not only will the church make

INVESTIGATING
BREAKS IN LEVEE

Interested parties, including an
engineer from Memphis, were in the
vicinity of Greenfield this week MAX
ing an investigation of the recent
breaks in the south levee, which oc-
Cured between the I. c. railroad and
the forks of the river.
It has been suggested that proba-
bly, muskrats were responsible for the
break, some of which are huge in
size, the dirt being washed away even
with the ground for distance of
20 feet; but others hold to the view
that the levee gave way.
There a1e in the river, in the
same vicinity, a number of Titanic
drifts which have accumulated dur
ing the recent overflows, and these
are doing great damage, it is claim
ed. There is talk of removing these
drifts by the use of dynamite.
