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-pimpics--a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent Of all sickness comes frurn
inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards. well-known physician
IN Ohio. perfected q 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 sub.
stitute 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.

by their olive color. l5c and 30c.

British Warship Badges.


The British admiralty has decided
to provide every British warship in
future with it's own distinctive badge.
These are being designed by Maj.
Charles Foulkes, heraldic adviser to
the admiralty, who has already in
vented $50 badges. Considerable in
genuity has been exercised, as the
following examples will show: Ven
turous, two dice; Sportive, a butting
goat; Tactician, a chess knight; In
constant, a butterfly; Sesame, q key;
Sterling, E; Watchful, an eye; Viva
cious, head Of MI. Lloyd George; Ter
magant, a fury !; Nile, head Of Nelson;
Truculent, Britisher smashing q Hun.
Each badge will be carved in wood
and then cast in brass, colOred, and
fitted on the quarterback, as well as
on either bow of the boat. Two plaques
are to be used, the smaller n
for the boats being about eight
inches square, and the n for the
quarterback about 1S inches square.
Each badge is designed in some way
to represent the name of the boat pic
torially, or when that is impossible,
embodying some device connected
with it's history. The designs will be
used also on note paper, and probably
on the brass muzzle-caps OF guns,
which are privately bought by officers
Of %battleshins.
Strange Properties Of T~ourmaline.
The crystal. tourmaline, il capable Of
attracting small bits Of paper and
straw In much the same way as am.
Der. This attraction is, Of course. due
to an e~lectrostatic charge.
When the crystal is exposed to sun
light Of q low temperature it loses its
electrical charge, but regains it upon
being heated again. Il it has q mega
tive charge at first, it will have Z posi-
tive charge when it is reheated.
Several other precious stones exhibit
phenomena along this line, but tour
maline is the 0 interesting and
spectacular Of all.
