Hundreds of plays by really good
writer's come in here every year. They
are more interesting than the plays
by people who cannot write at all, but
they are just as hopeless for theatrical
purposes. -, -.
because there Is a great deal OF
money in successful plays every one
with the ability to write tries to write
them. Those who take the trouble to
learn the stage sometimes succeed. 10

What is true Of playwritins is true

well requires special study In the con-

GIVES ADVICE
ON SPRING DIET
Miss Lucille Allen Of Home Bureau
Recommends Foods Containing
Large Content Of Iron.

The tired feeling known as
~spring fever" may be due to ane-
mia, possibly tea anemia, and one
of its causes Is lack OF iron in the
system, says Miss Lucille Allen,
home adviser of the county home
bureau in a bulletin to the member
ship.
She says that most people have
been eating too much of one certain
food during the winter-too much
coffee, vinegar, or other highly sea-
soned foods, and are paying for it
now.
AS a needed tonic, Miss Allen adj
vises the eating of foods rich in
iron, such as spinach, dandelions,
navy, lima and string beans, lentils
and peas especially, saying a good
word also for potatoes, lettuce,
Swiss chard, asparagus, tomatoes,
beets, carrots, pumpkins, rhubarb,
cabbage, Brussels sprouts, egg
plant, squash, turnips and onions,
but specifying that their iron con-
tent is not so great as the vegeta-
bles first mentioned.
In order to avoid the use of so
much vinegar it is her recommended
ton that salads be dressed with
lemon juice, unsweetened rhubarb
juice or tomato juice. Beans, she
states, should be given sparingly to
children.
The pickle and candy craze she
believes to be due to the lack of
enough fruit in diet. Therefore she
says everybody should eat dates,
figs, prunes, strawberries, cram
berries, pineapples, blue and black
berries and raisins as they are
able.
All cereals should be cooked at
least two hours, and in the bread
line her recommendation is whole
wheat, barley, rye or Boston brown
bread
Menus for meals composed of iron
foods are included in the bulletin.

It's Easy-If You Know DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to

watch your liver and bowels
there's no need of having a sallow
complexion-dark rings under your
eyes-pimples+a bilious look in
yoursface-dulle eyes with no spar
kle. Your doctor will tell you nine
ty per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known ply
stefan in Ohio. perfected a vege-
table 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
buoyancy which all should enjoy
by toning mp the liver and clearing
the system of impurities.

known by their olive color. 15c and
