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-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-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 sub stitute for calomei, 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.
 Edwards 'OliveTablets are known by their olive color. l5c and soc.

sary of the Easter week uprising against Great Britain in l916 by at tempting 10 oust the provisional gov question that is being seriously dis cussed in well informed circles both
 in England and Ireland.
 The London Daily Mails Dublin cor respondent declares that this phase of 1reland's perplexities has been rather freely debated in Dublin and that
 opinions there differ widely. The
 correspondent E convinced that the
 provisional govsrnment will do noth- ing to provoke a rebellion by inn mediate attempts to restore order. He is less clear about the attitude of the
 more radical republicans and appears to think that the lstter's action de pends on how far they believe they
 can sway public opinion with them. | The correspondent remarks that the
 extreme republicans are already in i'll
 favor with the general recognized thinking element in Ireland and also
 with the great bulk of the general public.
 He recalls, however that the people in Ireland generally were at first against the rebellious element in 1916,
 but later rapidly veered to the point of view of the revolutionists. The Mails representative in Dublin has come to the conclusion that both sides are simply jockeying for the psycho- logical moment in the meantime
 carefully considering the temper of the general public in Ireland. In certain commonly we'll informed political quarters in London violent stroke is anticipated by extremist re- publicans at very carly date. Con- sequently these English sources of
 opinion believe that Easter week will
 be selected as timely moment for
 bold stroke because of it's 1916 as-
 soclations.

~ Cuv St. Amant Coroner

DR.. Guy s. St. Amant Of Gonzales,
has been appointed coroner of the
parish of Ascension by Gov. Parker,
to succeed DIR. E. S. Kyes of Sorren~
to. who resigned, owing to his reno
val from the parish. Dr. St. Amant
came to Donaldsonville yesterday
and qualified for his new office by
taking the oath required by law.
The new coroner was formerly par
ish health officer, to which posataon
he was elected by the police Jury
two years ago; but the act Of the
legislature Of 1921, which created
parish boards Of health. requires that
the parish health officer be domieiled
at the parish seat. and this provision
of the law made it impossible FOR
DR.. St. 1Amant, who is a resident OF
Gonzales, to retain the office. DR..
St. Amant is q prominent and cap
able young physician and will no
doubt discharge the duties Of his new
post to the entire satisfaction Of the
people. DR.. Kyes, the retiring cor
oner, had been resident and prac-
ticing physician Of the New
River section Of The parish
for several years, and was elected
coroner of the parish two years ago.
He was very popular throughout the
parish and his removal il very much
regretted by his many friends, all
of whom wish him unqualified sue
cess in his new field of labor.

City Buys New Engine. .

sealed oids for the sale Of new.
engine for use at the municipal pow
er pant, were opened by The com
mission council at meeting held last
Monday night. Proposals were re-
ceived from five companies, as fol-
lows Bushoulzel Brothers, Diesel
Engine Company, Fulton Diesel En-
glne Company, Worthington Pump
and Engine Company, Anderson
Foundry and Machine Company and
Fairbanks-M Morse Company. The bid
of the Fairbanks-Mo orse Company for
$14,800 being considered the best,
was accepted.
The engine bought IS of 200-horse-
power and strictly modern IN every
particular. It will be used to supple
ment the two Diesel engines which
have been in use at the power plant
for several years, and which have
become somewhat shaky, and require
an expenditure Of nearly $3.50 per
month in their upkeep. The new
engine will serve the purpose of re-
ieving the two old ones which will
be allowed to rest while the new is
in operation. 4 fre-proof addi-
ton to the plant will be built for in
stallation of the new machine as
there is no room for its accommoda-
ton in the present building. The
vendors have bargained to make de-
livery in about fifteen days.

ance from this city and neighboring

that It will become !; permanent nu-
