OK Gall Treatment
Ends Liver Trouble
oVereomes body poIsons that
cause diseases Of heart,
kidneys and high blood
pressure

All the blood in our bodies passes
through the liver every Is minutes.
The liver is the blood's purifier.
Our blood is constantly poisoned
by body toxins formed in food
waste, and when the liver becomes
weak, or torpid, it cannot perform
its work of publication and our
systems are at once tainted by inn
pure blood. These are the poisons
that, if not destroyed by the liver,
cause diseases of the heart, kidneys,
blood vessels and create premature
old age.
Nature gives quick warning of a
torpid liver. You have sudden sick
headaches, dizzy spells; your ston-
ach is acid from sour bile, your skin
turns sallow, blotchy.
Doctors know the liver cannot be
regulated by drugs, but safe Ma
ture substance has been discovered
which will act directly on the liver.
The discovery is purified OK gall.
Get from your druggist package
of Dioxol. Each tablet contains ten
drops of purified OK gall. In "a
hours the poison toxins will be re-
moved. Your liver will be regulated.
Blood publication will begin. Sallow
skin will clear. You will feel so
much better you will know you have
found the cause of your i'll health.
Dioxol tablets are harmless, taste
less and cost less than two cents
each.
These genuine OK gall tablets are
prepared only under the name
'Dioxol" If anysAablet is offered
you under anotheI E, refuse it.

H0ACR THE.FEIG TO-DAY

One day in the year, June IA IS set aside to honor
the fiagour flag, the flag. Not because 1t Is pretty,
not because it is read and white and blue not because
is the personal possession Of every American, but be-
cause of what it means what it stands for what 1t
typifes what it prays and what it hopes!
1t means liberty; liberty of thought, liberty OF
conscience liberty of action within Just laws, liberty
Of worship, liberty Of government. 1t stands for law
and order protection and security justice and square
deal, honor and Righteousness. 1t typifes the ideals
Of hundred and ten millions of people, the heritage
they have taken from the hands of the mighty fore
fathers, the torch Of happiness in equal opportunity
lit in 1776, and kept brightly burning since 1t
pfays for strength to keep vision clear aye that
flag flying in the breeze, is an Americans prayer to
God for strength to keep what he has of truth and
right for wisdom to continue upon earth those social
and political liberties which make this Gods country
And it hopes It's proud lutter in the wind its beau
ty overhead, is outward and visabe symbol to all
the world of the inner and spiritual hope of every
thinking American that this nation, Under God may
act and live that His blessing may continue rest
upon it.
Honor the flag, this day Fly it, take off hats to
it, celebrate, it. Let there be halnlet small in
all this land that procession is not formed iii its
honor let there be city great and busy that its
citizens forget to thrill at the sight of Old
Glory.
Flag day, June f4-best of all days for all of us

"'the only kind of a pipe fit for
a man to smoke. - He has given

cial experts in Europe recently,
Dawes insisted that his colleagues
smoke my kind of briar.
Gave Pipes Away
He cabled 20 America for three
dozen of his pet pipes and they were
sent to him at Berlin.
Although he has praeticed law,
worked as an engineer and has en-
gagged in many kinds of finance and
promotion work, Dawes did not quite
disappoint those who expected him
to make his mark as a musician.

steal selections.

himself.
So, hopping along by himself, ex-
cept that he had his pink, twink
ling nose for company, Uncle Wig
gilv whistled Il little Jolly tune and
looked on each side of the wood
land path for an adventure.
The only adventure he saw. how
ever was where a little red ant
lady was trying TO climb up over
a big stone, carrying with her Il
crumb of cake which Jackie Bow
Wow, the puppy dog boy, had drop
ped. While it was only u crumb, to
the ant lady it was as large as
a loaf of bread would be TO a baby,
and the poor ant creature was hav-
ing hard work. But Uncle Wig
gilv saw her and said:
Kindly let me help you, little
red ant LADY, SO he lifted her
and the cake crumb, too, over the
stone as easily as you can eat d
lollypop.
"Thank you, whispered the lit
tie red ant lady, and Uncle Wig
gily hoped on his way, with a
low and polite bow Of his tall silk
nat.
This was the only adventure Tn
Gle Wiggilv found until after he
had bought the paper of tacks for
Nurse Jane. He was carrying them
along in his paw, swinging them
to and fro and thinking of what
he would have for supper when, all
of "a sudden, the rabbit gentleman
struck the paper of taeks against
tree The paper box burst, the
tacks scattered al about and Uncle
Wiggily was sadly surprised.
