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
compIexion-dark rings under your
eyes-pimples- bilious look in
your face-dull 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
broyancy 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. 15e and

WEST AND SOUTH is SUP
PORTED BY PRESIDENT.
HARDING APPROVES BILL
HUGE REVOLVING FUND WOULD
BE USED FOR DRAINAGE
PROJECTS.
western Newspaper Union News service.)

Washington.-Approval of President
Harding for the McNary bill providing
for creation of a 35O,OOO,OOO revolving
fund to be used for development Of
western and southern reclamation and
drainage projects, was given to con-
gressional delegation who called at the
White House.
Members of the delegation, which
was headed by Senator McNary, Re-
publican, Oregon, and Representative
Smith, Republican, Idaho, said the
President expressed deep interest in
the legislation which is pending in both
the Senate and the House. Mr.. Hard
ing indicated, delegation members said,
that he would confer with party lead
ers on the matter.
The President was told that there
was strong support for passage Of the
measure at this session of Congress
and that enactment of the bill would
result in the reclamation of millions Of
acres of land and provide homes for
thousands Of people.
A memorandum submitted by the
lamation act of 1902 approximately
100000 acres of desert lands had
been reclaimed, more than 10000 fami-
lies had been established on farm
lands and the national wealth had in
creased approximately $600,000O0O and
foodstuffs valued at $150,O00O0O raised
each year on these various projects in
fourteen states-all at an expenditure
by the government of approximately
$13O 100000 from the fund created
from the sale of public lands and from
land fees of various kinds.
Representative Smith presented to
the President a detailed statement Of
the MinidOka project in Idaho as
typical of the status of the other
projects. The cost of the construc-
ton of this undertaking was $780,
600, Of which $1,000,00O has been re-
paid. Value of the farm improve
ments and live stock was placed at
$3O,373,000, assessed valuation at $14,-
$4,000, value of crops at $5924,OOO,
and various other assets, which he
said showed the highly successful re-
suit of the undertaking.
President Harding was said by his
visitors to favor passage of the legis-
lation during the present session. The
most difficulty, it was said, was ex-
pected in the house, and the Presi-
dent promised to confer with mem
bers Of the House Republican steering
committee and urge them to press the
bill at this session.
