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 a sallow COM
plexion-dark rings under your eyes
-pimples-a bilious look in your
face-dull eyes with no sparkle
Your doctor will tell you 90 per
cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known ply
stefan in Ohio, perfected vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil to
act on the liver and bowels, which
he gave to his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel, are gentle
in their action yet always effective.
They bring about that natural buoy
ancy which all should enjoy by ton
ing up the liver and clearing the
system of impurities.

Causes
Pouts and Bad
Dispositions
By ELSIE UNDERH11L EATON.

By ELSIE UNDERH1IL EATON
The Unbiased Observer was visit
ing the Heath family, in which there
are three children-Max, who is IS;
Gwen. II, and Dolly, 4. The boy
and the baby are generally easy to
discipline, but there seems to be
constant friction between Gwen and
her mother, so much so that con-
tinual pouting bids fair to spoil what
nature intended to be- a really beau
tiful little face. To the Unbiased
Observer, the fault appears to lie
largely with the mother, and if the
case were an unusual one, it would
perhaps not be worthy of record;
but similar misunderstanding so
often exists between parent and
child that the consideration of the
following incidents may be of value.
Gwen is not bad child, but her
mother seems to expect disobedi-
ence from her, or, at least a lack
of cheerfulness. For example, Gwen
had been sent to bed at 6 o'clock
Sunday evening, ostensibly because
she was sulky, really because her
mother thought she. was tired and
needed extra rest. The child was
not given the real reason, however,
and she went upstairs full Of the
rebelious feeling that most un-
merited punishment had been raeted
out to her.
Max, for his supper that evening,
was given I large, fine banana. one
Of several which had been bought
as . special treat. The next morn
ing at breakfast two similar bananas
were put at the places Of the two
older children. Gwen was particu-
larly delighted. for she, of course.
had had no banana the night before.
She was smiling and happy when she
took her place at the table, even
though Max did announce triumph
antfy that he had already had one.
Then Dolly, the baby, arrived and
began to whimper because she had
been forgotten in the distribution
of fruit. .'... .....
Give Dolly half Of yours, Gwen"
said her mother.
Ovens smiles faded.
"But mother" she said rather
piaintively, why can't Max give her
some OF his? He had one last night"
(Which would appear to be logical
Omaha daily bee., 1919-10-18
and a decidedly reasonable ques-

and a decidedly reasonable ques.
tion).
The mother did not think so. how.
ever. Give me your banana, Gwen,'
she demanded.
Gwen passed it over without a
word, evidently having learned the
futility of expecting justice from
that quarter.
Her mother cut the fruit in half
gave one part to the baby and put
the ether on her own fruit plate
where it remained untouched until
it was removed to the pantry. Max,
in the meanwhile, devoured his prize
! with gusto.
Gwen made no comment of any
kind, but she ate the rest of her
breakfast with small appetite and
with face, wherein sukiness had
replaced smiles, and with a very
sore little heart she departed for
school.
Don't you think I did right"
asked the mother afterward of the
Unbiased Observer. who didn't feel
so very unbiased after all.
1t was no time for polite camou-
flage.'
IF you really want to know
came the reply, Il think you did
entirely wrong. Gwen was quite
logical in her question, and per-
fectly courteous. should have
thought she was lacking in intelli-
gence if she hadn't objected"
The mother looked surprised.
"But she is so sulky about every
thing" she complained. Il want her
to learn to mind cheerfully."
She'll never do that" remarked
tie Observer, while the feels such
injustice in the powers that be-"
do you think it was unjust to
send her to bed last night?" the
mother went on in a slightly injured
tone.
The Unbiased Observer paused
but she had been asked for an opin-
ion and she gave it.
what heavier punishment could
you possibly inhict if she is ever
really bad?" she asked. Social
ostracism-just because she looked
cross! What would happen if our
sins were punished in the same ra-
tio?"
= And now the Observer wonders if
she will ever be invited to make
another visit!

Bad Manners
Disturb
Singers

Bad manners at = musical per-
Torrance has been the topic for
many critics during the past years.
Not only have music reviewers been
forced to relate to impolite incl
dents but others not in the writing
profession have made complaints to
managers of opera and other must
cal organizations. Said one well
known critic at debut Of = singer,
"this must be some sort OF social
event, or a gathering of old friends
wanting to renew acquaintanceship. "
The first thing all audience should
consider is the singer. The strain
forced upon an artist on an open.
ing night, and especially in a new
and difficult role where a young
artist is to be compared with some
great singer of the day, is there any
wonder the artist is nervous and
any slight department on the part
of some people in the audience will
often cause the artist to sing off
key? Now it is very seldom that a
singer forgets his words or the
music, but there is nothing more
disturbing to an audience than an
artist not singing tue to pitch.
, During an aria, the audience is gen
orally held to strict attention. Il is
then the singer can hear the slight
est whisper that goes on. Very
often the low but high pitched whis-
per pierces both the ears Of the
singer and conductor. This is most
disturbing to everyone on the stage
and is oft times the cause of putting
a damper on the whole performance.
Coming in late is another bad hab-
it with American audiences, says
one musical observer. A singer can
not help but be disturbed when he
sees eight to 10 people ushered
down an aisle, then causing dozen
or more others to rise up in order
that the late Corners be seated. In
aida" especially this is more than
disturbing for the tenor whose big
aria comes almost at the going up
OF the curtain. On several oeca-
sions the conductor of the orches-
ira has stopped the performance in
order that late corners get seated, as
they annoyed the artist.
Another disturbing thing to the
public. and especially the music
lovers, is to have neighbors rat
thing programs, opening candy
boxes and the chewing of gum. The
chewing of gum is as offensive to
the foreigner as the odor of garlic
is to the American.

Heart Beats

A wreck
They called her
They who did not know
Some pitied her
Some seoffed at her
And shrugged as they passed
They saw q body
Crippled and MANNED
Poverty in every fold
OF her tattered
And worn dress
Sorrow and tragedy
Had followed her chest
Lines of suffering
Drew maps on her face
OF hunger
OF sickness
And death.
None bothered to look
At two heavenly eyes
That had weathered
Lies fiercest gale
Eyes wide open
To the soul of things
Looking fearlessly
And frankly
At Fate.
Without blindness they, saw
Sins reason
For many despicable acts
They caught some good
In all the bad
Detected virtue
In the harlot's soul
Humanity
In the criminals heart
They saw the contempt
OF self-righteous ones
Who never have faced
Temptation and want
> pause to wonder
As / look into
Those kindly patient eyes
Just who'll be rewarded
On the astral plane
For heroic bravery
In Lies great battle
The sleek and fat
Or the unfortunates.
But I knew E.
When the woman smiled
And said
As she turned her eyes
To Heaven:
They say that I am
Out at the heels
And that my coat is shoddy---
What would they say
If they saw my heart?
Don't tell anybody"
