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-plmples-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. p
DIR. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected 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
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.
DR. Edwards OliveTablets are known
by their olive color. l5c and 30c.

ent Favored Leveling the
Dublin Castle; "Rebels"

LONDON-Details incident to the
transfer of authority in southern
Ireland from the crown government
to the provisional administration es.
tablished in Dublin, on Saturday, were
considered here today. Eamon j.
Duggan and Kevin O'Higgins. dele
gates Of the Irish provisional gov
ernment, arrived in London to con-
fer with members Of the British cab
met relative to the investment of the
new regime with governmental re-
sponsibillty.
Initial steps in the establishment
Irish free state were taken at Dub
lin yesterday. when proclamation
was issued announcing the provisional
government had entered upon its
duties under the treaty with Great
Britain. The war office has announced
that withdrawal OF British forces
in southern Ireland will begin inn
mediately.
Newspaper Opposes Irish.
The Morning Post. newspaper
which has steadfastly shown hostility
to Irish home rule and has upheld
the principal of unionism, today
printed the following dispatch from
it's Dublin correspondent:
THE provisional government will
make a great mistake If it does not
level Dublin Castle to the ground.
There is an evil spell upon it and
it's spirit is quite as capable Of de-
stroying the Irish free state as It
was of destroying the union with
England Certainly, nobody who has
believed in that union would weep If
the castle should crumble to dust It's
spirit Of intolerant bureaucracy, the
type OF politicians that it harbored
and the kind of administrators 1t
bred, did more TO destroy the union
than agitators and treasonnongers.
when the exodus begins, the fast
ness Of Dublin Castle will disgorge
high salared officials who have not
done a stroke of honest work in
years"
Irislmen Made Castle.
The correspondent intimated the
officials against whom he was writ
ing were in collusion with ''rebels'
while drawing salaries and wearing
title received from the crown.
1T is comforting to remember" he
concluded, that the men who did
these things, and made the castle
what it was, are lrishmen.
1t Is less pleasing to remember
that their British colleagues, though,
few, generally outclassed the native
officials in incompetence and stupid
ity. In Dublin Castle, Great Britain
gave Ireland her absolute and unsur-
passable worst. Had it been other
wise, ignominious dissolution would
never have been the fate of the
union"
