BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the sub. stitute for calomel- a 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? Calomel 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 a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when youfeel "logy" and "heavy." They "clear" clouded brain and "perk up "the spirits. l5c and BOG

Vista and the spot where Esteban fell And yet, with an intuition rare even among the blind, the little lad knew that something terrible had happened
 Mercedes awakened her brother and f tried to comfort him. What Is the matter?" she implored, ] Esteban." he cried; something had has come, madrecita.' 1 The little pet name went unheard, i Mercedes only knew her throat was dry with sudden agony. She had had her own misgivings about Este bhn. Hastily throwing on wrap. she started for Josc's room. The hallway made n sharp angle as it turned to lead into the wing where he slept A small window opened on tho front yard from tho angle.
 Without thinking, Mercedes stopped and looked down. Esteban's window was plainly visible; and hanging from lt she saw the dangling reata.
 "Madre de Dios" she gaspcd; the child is right"
 With swift feet, she ran for her father. Through the closed door she told him what she had discovered. Jose bade her go back to Basilio. He dressed hurriedly and followed her 10 the little fellows bedside.
 Then Mercedes and her father tip- tocd downstairs. The old Basque pulled the bell-cord for Mariana. When the mozo appeared. frightened at being called at this unusual hour. Jose ordered him to get his horse.
 Tears filled Mercedes eyes as she saw her father take down his rife and fill his long-unused belt with cartridges. His set face and sparing words did not serve to lessen her dread
 When Jose had crossed the creek he held to the north until he came to the entrance of Smoky Canon.
 He turned his horse into the longer trail that led to the fence and up to the Chimney As he did SO, gun flashed from the rim-rocks above him. His horse fell foremost to the ground. He rolled over on his side still. No moan or sigh Of pain cs- caped him.
 Jose's horse stared at his fallen master He came close and nudged him with his nose. But the wide open unseeing eyes of the man who had ridden him so long were glazed in death.
 Old Ironsides would never ride the trails again.

 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 My rights have priority over all other water rights in this valley, eX- Ceptin' acklin's." Buck tried to drop this statement like bombshell He gazed about the room 10 watch its effect
 Jose shook his head iudicially.
 Again I say. the law will decide If acklin builds fence on his own property to keep us out. that is his right 1T we destroy it, or trcspasa on his land and resort to our guns, then we are outside the law. We want to go 70 court with clean hands,"
 You bet' Tuscarora chimed in, 'In a week We will find out where we're at. We all know Tom Brand. He's been on the square with us every time. I'll run down and see him.
 The little man stopped short, His eyes singled out Bodine:
 Now suppose you beat it out Of here. big fellow, The going may be rough if you wait until this meeting breaks up.'
 Don't come back. either," some one yelled.
 Bodine's eyebrows flattened out.
 "I'll go' he muttered. ''But not because any one here looks bad to me. I came to talk peace; but all I've heard is lot of mouthing about the law
 He had reached the end Of the Ieranda and was about to open the patio gate when he almost stumbled over Basilo.
 Mercedes had found the boy awake when she had left the room where the meeting was held. so she had dressed him and the two of them had wandered ahout in the moonlight.
 She heard the child cry. and saw Bodine raise his foot and brush him aside. In second she was up with them, and took the little fellow into her arms
 Basilio ceased crying and Mercedes started him into the patio; but she stood her ground and laughed con temptuously at her enemy.
 Bodine's crnel mouth held it's dia- bolical grin as he got into his saddle. once seated. he wheeled his horse on its hind legs and. reaching down, caught the surprised girl around the waist and lifted her beside him. She bit and scratched him, but he was too strong for her, Bending his head, he kissed her passionately on her un- protected lips. Her finger nails ripped his face as he put her down.

Don't Let That Cold
 Turn Into "Flu"
Rub on Good Old Musterols

That cold may turn into Flu" Grippe or, even worse. Pneumonia, unless you take care of 1t at once.
 Rub good old Musterole on the con gested parts and see how quickly 1t brings relief. :.
 Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole. made from pure oil of mustard. camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients. is counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, 1t does the work without the blister.
 Just rub 1t on with your inger-tips. You will feel warm jingle as 1t enters the pores. then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.

TREASURY MAY ASK

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Pos-
sible efforts by the Treasury to have
Congress further cut the surtaX rates
on incomes are forecast in a formal
statement my Secretary Mellon.
The secretary asserted that March
collections of income and profits tax
es .aggregating $463,OO0,00O, had
fully justified his prediction that
downward revision would have the
effect of actually increasing rather
than decreasing the Federal revenue.
Coupled with this statement was a
declaration by Mr.. Mellon that the
March collections, under such a re-
vision as has been accepted proved
a beautiful answer to the tax prob
lem, and shows what course further
revision should take.
"Ihere is no point maintaining
high rates Of taxation, which 90 not
produce revenue" the secretary con
tinued, land there is no doubt that
the high income tax rates which are
still in effect are gradually defeat
ing their own purposes.
