evening he told his wife what he want
ed for his supper. She prepared II for
him and they had just eaten supper
and were sitting by the IRE, Mrs.
Frazier went out through the dining
room into the kitchen for something.
Just as she reached the kitchen she
heard him fall. She ran in and he had
fallen out OF his chair and before she
could summons a neighbor who lived
in calling distance he had expired
Rev. Frazier was about "a years OF
age and had lived all his life In Law
renee county, Ky. until about is years
ago when he moved TO Portsmouth and

The shooting was the first armed re-
sistance encountered by officials In

H. L. Fletcher, superintendent OF the

BETTER THAN CALQMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub- stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does. but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomcl sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Headaches, "dullness and that lazy feeling come from constipation and disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when youfe "logy" and "heavy" They clear" clouded brain and "perk up" the spirits. l5c and BOG.

PROHIBITION IS
 FOUGHT AGAINST
Illinois Association Conducts
 Three-iold Campaign

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-A three fold campaign for the November election is being conducted in Illinois by the National Association Opposed to Pro- hibition, according to Harry de Joan- his, in charge of the Illinois division.
 First we are asking candidates to | pledge themselves to abide by the wishes of their constituents, said Mir de Joannis. We are not asking them to declare themselves wet Sec ond, we are circulating posters throughout the state. and third, we are organizing local branches with memberships of business men to urge everybody to vote on the beer and wine issue November 7. The branch at East St. Louis contains S5 of the leading manufacturers. and in fact, virtually all the leading businessmen of the city.
 The dealers in liquors of high alcoholic content have been spending large sums to fight us. The brewers are not sufficiently numerous nor well-to-do at present to give direct financial support, even if we would take it. To be sure, they use their influence in our behalf when they can We are not holding big mass meetings nor the old-fashioned sort of cam paign. We are making no promises to candidates, but are keeping out of politics.
 ITO candidates who ask us for con- tributions we say, If, as you say, you are a deserving candidate and have chance of election, and if, as you say. you are wet and the senti- ment of your constituency Is wet, go ahead on the wet issue, be little wetter than your wettest opponent. 1 With the advantage of our campaign l for modification of the Volstead act on your side, you will be elected if what you say about yourself and | about the sentiment of your constitu- ency is true. If it is not, you wouldn't | be elected though we should print thousands of dollars worth of posters for your particular campaign" Mir. | Joannis asserted that none of the as- | sociation's funds came from liquor in- l terests, but most of it from business men and employers on large scale in other fields.
