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, 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 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 'OliyeT Tablets are known
by their olive color, l5c and 3Qc.

The Pneumonia Month

March is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rate
of mortality for the disease. After a
long and hard winter, the system
loses much of it's resistance and peO-
pie grow careless. When every cold,
no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is germ disease
and breeds in the throat. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is an expector-
ant and cleans out the germ ladened
mucus and not only cures cold but
prevents its resulting in pneumonia.
1t is pleasant to take. Children
take it willingly. Sold Everywhere.

Manly Thompson

Manly Thompson was born near
Westland, Ohio, Nov. 25, 1855,
died at Mattoon, ILL.,, Feb. 26, 1922,
with endocarditis of the heart, be-
ing 66 years, three months and one
day old. He was married to Ro-
sella Thompson Nov. %, 1878. To
this union two children were born
-Elma and Ebert. Brother
Thompson obeyed the gospel seven
years ago under the preaching of J..
H. Steed, and lived a noble Chris
tian life until death.
September, 1920, Elma married
G.. w. Roberts and moved to Illi-
nois to make her home, SO the fol-
lowing August he and his wife made
sale and moved to Mattoon to
make their home with their daugh-
ter. He was living happy, salts
fed life at Mattoon until the Lord
called him home, which was sud-
den shock to us all as he was only
sick three hours. except cold.
He leaves a wife, daughter and
her husband, daughter-in-law and
her husband, granddaughter, two
brothers, one sister and many rela-
tives and friends to mourn.
If he has left an enemy in this
world we know not Of it. He was
quiet, unassuming man that most
everybody loved. He was man Of
few words, but good counsel for
those needing advice and consOla-
ton. He was good and kind with
his family and all others with whom
he associated. He lived a life
worthy Of imitation. Most all his
life was lived at Pennsville, o..
where his body will "sleep" until
the resurrection morning.
We had services at the house at
Mattoon Monday morning before
starting for Ohio. Bro. Jesse F..
Love preached the funeral discourse
and it was a very impressive one.
At Pennsville, o., the funeral was
preached at the meeting house by
Bro. ]. H. Steed and it, too, was a
good one that made an impression.
His praying here has ceased, his
soul has left this world--the man
Of God is dead. The end came in
quiet obedience as his loved ones
wept.
A few moments before he died
his eyes glanced suddenly upward
filled with a fearful surprise (sur-
prise to u.s., the look had changed
to one of startled expectancy-then
settled in the glazing stare that
looked and saw not: the lips had
frozen over a pleasant smile; he lay
in death appealingly beautiful. Life
is death in a land of darkness and
death is life in land of light. "Be-
yond the clouds the sun is still
shining" Is it or is it not quite
towards the dead to fill
in the outlines of their lives with
our own Interpretation of what lies
beneath? Is it delicate to speak of
a secret now locked in a smile on
lips that can never tell? The secret
of his life was Godliness and hon.
esty. The evil we cannot tell, for
we know it not. If it was in his
life it has not been found out. We
believe he sleeps the sleep of re-
demption and life everlasting as a
sign of peace and happiness eternal
over his grave. He has overcome
in the great battle of life. He has
been merciful, he shall obtain, we
believe, mercy. He has been clean
at heart, he shall see God. He is
gone, but not forgotten; he will
sleep, but not forever.-W G. Rob-
erts, Mattoon, Ill.

Asked if Mills had a gun, Lewis
replied that he had the revolver
found in the desk at the Jail and
that it contained five shells. He
also expressed the belief that Mills
would use it, should occasion de-
mand.
Atty. Campbell asked Lewis if
he was aware of the method in
which Mills opened the door lead
ing out of the jail, and he stated
the opinion that he used a Cease
knife" to turn the lock, although
he knew nothing about it. This
theory is secuted as highly improb-
able as the key was in the lock at
the time and the key is heavy and
not easily turned.

Lewis Tells About
Escape from Jail
Continued from page y

OOHIl!ueu from page ID
escaped the Canadian officers when
the two were captured at High
Water, P. O., with the car they
had stolen in West Danville from
New Haven, Ct, tourist.
High Sheriff Wilbur Worthen
and States Attorney James B.
Campbell went to Whitefeld, N.
H., yesterday where they got Cor
dis Lewis, who made his getaway
in company with George Mills,
from the Caledonia county Jail in
s. Johnsbury after being incarce-
rated there Saturday for stealing
an automobile.
After a consultation of the
local officers with the New Hamp-
shirc officials Lewis was turned
ovei TO Sheriff WOrthen without
hearing and brought back to the
local Jail. The New Hampshire of
fcers are to be kept informed as
TO what is done with him and
after his sentence here, if not sat
isfied that he has received suffi-
cicnt punishment to cover his de-
predations in their vicinity, he is
TO be returned to Whitefeld for
further disposition.
The story of the capture of
Lewis as related by state officer
Mcintyre of New Hampshire
from that given at the time of
Lewis capture.
The capture was effected by
four citizens who were in the posse
that had joined in the search
John Shores, Earl Stevens, Harold
+ Stcarns and Richard Aldrich, in
two cars gave chase to Mills and
Lewis after their daring getaway
With Packard car from the main
street of Whitefield. When in the
vicinity of Twin Mountain, Shores
and Earl Stevens in the leading
car, succeeded in passing the one
driven by Mills after which they
attempted to hold them up. Lewis
Jumped out and started for the
woods but a shot in his direction
brought him back.
While Shores and Stevens were
engaged with the capture Of Le-
wis, Mills stepped OH the gas" of
his car, shot by the one in front
of him and made away, followed
By Harold Stevens and Aldrich.
The pursuit lasted for over q dis
t9nce of about II miles when they
got near enough to Mills to take
a shot.
Several shots were fired one of
which took effect in a rear tire OF
Mills car, whereupon he ran on
to the Profile Golf Links, which
he was passing, and in the dark
made good his escape in the
woods.
Lewis, when questioned by
States Attorney Campbell yester-
day in Whitefeld told Of the es-
cape from the county jail. He said
that Mills was in the corridor, and
earlier in the afternoon had told
him that he thought that Sheriff
Worthen was going out that af-
telnoon. Mills said he could get
OFT in about three minutes and
that he, Lewis, could come too if
he wanted to.
/ The next thing he knew Mills
came back with the keys to the
cell with which he let him out
when they both went into the Jail
office where Mills secured a load
ed revolver from the desk and a
pair Of ankle irons, remarking that
they were "broke" and they would
have to hold up some one to get
their roll" Mills remarked that
the ankle irons would come in
handy in allowing them to get
away before the victim could give
an alarm. Lewis also said that
while they were waiting around the
streets of Whitefeld waiting to get
a car that Mills made the propo-
sition to him that they hold up a
