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 a sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor Will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-mown physician
in Ohio, perfected a 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 SUBJ
sttute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
Dr.Edwards' Olive Tablets are known
by their olive color. 1Oc and 25c.

Tax on Advertising.

Philadelphia Record: The bill now
pending in congress entitled "A bill
to increase the revenue of the gov
eminent of the United States and to
conserve the supply OF print and
other paper by imposing a tax on
advertisers" is falsely labeled. 1t
should be entitled "A bill to enable
Uncle Sam to make an ass of him.

Let us see how this bill would
increase the revenue of the govern.

The major part Of Uncle Sans
revenue is derived from taxation of
business. This broad term covers
not only income taxation but the
revenue from imports and various
other sources.
The more business, the greater the
revenue.
The less business, the smaller the

charge of forgery, was picked up by
the Keokuk police Sunday morning,
after he had passed three checks
aggregating twenty-eight dollars on

face another prosecution here.
Laurie is charged with passing

the audience, stating it was the oo-

recital annually.
Mr.. keesey understands the organ
well, and the excellent organ upon
which he experienced the satisfac-
ton of presenting his program must
have served as an inspiration for his
excellent program. He possesses
good technique and splendid interpra
tative ability which, combined with
thorough understanding of his art
makes his playing a genuine plea
sure.
The entire program was well
selected and contrasted, displaying
versatility and style.
The concert overture IN B minor
by Rogers, the Grand Chorus in A
fiat, by Faulkes. and the Festival
Toccata by Fletcher, were perhaps
the most brilliant numbers on the
program, while the most poetic were
the Concerto in D minor; Pastorale
by Guilmant; Indian Summer Sketch.
by Brewer; Meditation, by SturgIs,

tween "a" and 'tb' of the final group
entitled Andante, by Batis,e.
