KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DIR.
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-pIm,ples-a bilious
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 a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
DIR. 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 OliveTablets are known
by their olive color. l5c and 30c.

The story of the play was laid in
America in the home OF German
family during the war. The old
father was of German sympathy and
nothing could shake his conviction that
Germany was right; however. his
faithful wife, Marie, was for America.
and when their only son joined the
army. she kept the fact from the old
man. His friend and business assoc =
ate, Henry Block, played by Hugh
Dowd, had become Americanized and
he and Karl Pfeiffeffr had many 4
heated argument over who would win
the war. Their wordy bouts furnish
ed the humor for the play and kept
the audience in gale of laughter.
June Block, the daughter of Henry
Block, is engaged to Billy Pfeitrer.
Just before Billy is sailing for Farce
he comes home on leave and tells his
father that he has not been at college,
but in the army instead. The old
man is heart broken. In the mean
time, u German spy has talked the old
man into giving $4,000 to help Ger
many. The son and the girl are
married and he sails for France, but
the boat has hardly left the harbor
when ii is blown up. The father, be
lieves his son is lost forever, for he
is reported missing and then bitterly
he hates the Germans. He gets nd
Of all his German belongings and is
ready to kill the spy for spending his
money to blow up ships. The old men
eventually catch the spy and Billy
returns safe.
The final scene is very beautiful, for
the old people wish to learn America
and Billy teaches them our National
Anthem.
An item of interest is that one OF
the authors of the play, Aaron Hof-
man, died last week at his home In
Riverside, New York. He has writ
ten many successful plays, welcome

MOSQUITO TO Be
F|ERCElY FOUGHT

The abolition Of the mosquito was
strongly advocated at Rotary luncheon
Monday and with 100 per cent at
tendance. the members took a stand
ing vote and unanimously decided TO
stand behind a mosquito eradication
campaign for Gunnison this summer.
The winged pests are due about
Sunday, just with the advent of sum-
mer school, and indications are that
there will be plenty of them along the
river and in their usual haunts, ex-
cept where preventive measures have
been taken by the school and town
authorities to head them off. That
they can he headed off and that elimin-
alton of the mosquito is quite the big
gest immediate improvement which
can be made in Gunnison, was the gen.
eral decision after hearing DIR. f. NJ.
Russell and DIR. John c. johnson tell
of their habits and breeding places,
the grief they cause and how all citi-
zens can help in silencing the jazz
song of the pilferers of blood and con-
teutment.
The life history of the mosquito
shows that il can be attacked most
when, as larvae in the
"wiggler" stage. it lives in quiet wat
er and comes up every few minutes TO
breathe. Agitate the water by run
ming it swiftly, make scum of oil on
the surface which it cannot breathe
thru. or dry out the pool, and Mrs.
Wiggier turns up her toes. Wait un-
til she tfor It is the female of the
species which causese the grief is
hatched into n buzzing adventures
and the job is hopeless.
Mosquitoes rarely fly any great
distance While We have the malari-
al mosquito, there are no germs for
them to inoculate US with. The
swarms some times seen on dry mesas
and sage brush flats are probably
hatched from some source of water
we cannot see. How the Panama
Canal zone was cleaned of mosquitoes,
and many other points, were taken up
and discussed at the meeting.
II appears that the Town of Gunni-
son is taking more complete measures
than ever before to keep waste water
out Of the city bitches. There are no
wigglers in the swift Gunnison itself,
and it is believed that if our city water
can be drawn from the river and brot

The solution of the goitre situation
is to provide one-sixth Of one grain Of
iodine a week in the form of iodides,
and the remedy is so cheap that the
unsightly blemish of goitre should be
avertcd.
There is a conspicuous amount of
malnutrition in this part Of the state.

Memorial Day Address, May 30. 1924
By Clifford H. Stone.
/, Is a sorrowful but sacred duty
which We come here today TO perform.
As we scatter a few flowers on these
graves and participate in these SER
vices, there lives again in our memory
those whom We have lost from ali
that means life TO us; and il is an oc-
easion when We revitalize the deeds
and sacrifice Of our soldier dead,
Memorial Day, the most significant
OF our national holidays, had its
orgIn with the Civil War veterans
who set aside one day for decorating
ihe graves Of all soldiers. Since that
day two wars have mingled the dust
Of other heroes with that Of those who
died to preserve the Union. As we
pause here today among these graves.
the ranks of these Civil War veterans
have almost vanished and the veterans
Of the World War and Spanish Amer
ican war are taking up the sacred
duty Of annually paying homage to
our soldier dead. In our own commu-
nifty We see each year that little GROUP.
OF men who represent the Grand Army
of the Republic, growing smaller
there are now, believe, only two left
in this community. II was only yes
terday that a squad Of sturdy men in
blue fired the salute to the dead. To-
day il is the khaki.clad boys of an
other war who have taken their place.
May we perform with the same deyo-
tion as was eXemplihed by the honor
ed men Of the G. A. r. this task which
we are privileged to do.
