STOP BAD BREATH

People afflicted with bad breath
find quick relief through DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets. The
pleasant, suear.coated tablets are
taken for bad breath by all who
know them.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels
and liver, stimulating them to
natural action, clearing the blood
and gently purifying the entire
system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without
any of the bad after effects.
Olive Tablets bring no gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. NJ. Edwards discovered
the formula after 20 years of
practice among patients afflicted
with bowel and liver complaint,
with the attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a
vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil; you will know them
by their olive color. Take nightly
for a week and note the effect.

Bill McCorry and his AL bany Lawmakers, who went down to defeat in the opening game at Albany. also welcomed the Senate, s by applying a IT to defeat in a game that was too one-sided to be interesting.
 All the ceremonies of opening day were staged. starting with band concert in the center of the city which was followed by an automo- bile parade. and at the stadium the players. accompanied by Governor John H.

GREAT CONTRAST
 AT PENN RELAYS
p,iIo Nlrni Only | Sbldev Of the Fearless RunnG of 1914

Philadelphia. April c7 N-The Pennsylvania relay carnival closing tts dixxy whirl of competition today for some 5000 athletes. has devel- oped one of the &trangest of con- trasts involving youth and age.
 Where youth usually holds com plete sway in this spring spree of trsck and field athletics. the picture this year of the opening day is that of . middle-aEed foot-racer, still . marvellous piece Of running ma chinery although the razor-edge of speed seems unmistakably gone. sharing the spotlight with a brawny youth destined perhaps to be one of Americas greatest ali-round per- formers.
 ~ The principals are Paavo Nurmi, now around s3. only | shadow of the peerless Paavo of 1s2l-25. and Bar ney Beriinger. just come of voting age, with the brawny ability to break records all day long.
 Nurmi broke the American out door two.mils record but his time Of s:lS :-s clipping two and two hfths seconds from the 17-year-old mark of . Cornell collegian. Tel Berna, was not 70 startling when 1t is realized that Paavo. at the height of his form in 1895. raced this dis tance In S:5s l-5 on an indoor track. The old grace and rhythm are still there. The Finn still has wiry type of endurance. but the speed neces- sary for worlds record perform ances is missing. Like father talk inE hts family out for an afternoons canter. Nurmi gave a running lesson to a handful of youths yesterday aa he leaped out in front. but Paavo found old man time a trihe more difficult to conquer. much more so than in the days when he was able to hang the old man on the ropes al will.
 Today Nurmi was billed for an as- sault on the three mile record. for which he holds the world mark ol l+:1i Is.
 Berlinger's star, by contrast, 1, sharply on the rise. The big Penn sylvania sophomore turned in one ol the best performance of his career yesterday when he won the inter. collekiate decathlon championship for the first time. beating his okla. homa rival. Tom Churchill. by l3: points. and breaking the relay car nival record. Berlinger. in spite of z lack of speed for the track events performed brilliantly enough in tht field to win three events. tie for frs place in another. and pile up tota Of 7ess.ss7 points. This bumped of the former record of 7236.557: points. made by Vernon Kennedy ol Missouri in 1917.

R. E. Robertson Tells of Stikine River Activity
 at Wrangell

Members of the Juneau Lions ! Club, at their regular luncheon, to- day, hear1 that the Boy Scouts cabin near Eagle River will soon be compla5ed. The body also heard R. E. Robertson tell of brisk activ- ity that is to be noticed in and around the town of Wrangell, now that the Stikine River is open to navigation. A large turnout of members attended the luncheon.
 Work on Scout Cabin
 Mayor T. B. Judson stated that all that remained to be done on the Scout cabin was the floor work and the chinking of the logs to make the structure a fine club house for the Juneau Scouts. He explained that the concrete floor work has been delayed to some extent, but said that he fully ex- pected a turnout of help soon to complete all that remains.
 A DULY Ol t1iC SdDill, IlOW IL WdS sponsored, and how funds were raised for it's building was read from the National Organ of the National Lions Club, the "Lion, by secretary H. L. Redlingschafer.

STREET PAVING WILL 60 AHEAD,
 COUNCIL ACTS
Property Owners to Defray Costs and Be Reim-
 bursed in 4 Years

The City Council last night adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to go ahead with street paving in the down town districts as rapidly as agreements can be made with the property owners. The work will be financed by the owners of the property, and they will be reimbursed at the rate of 25 per cent each year.
 This policy was adopted after a full discussion between Councilmen and owners of considerable real estate in the business districts. It is expected that it will result in the paving of Front Street from Seward to Main, and between the Alaskan Hotel and the City Dock, Franklin Street between its inter section with Front and the Palace Theatre, and Third Street between Franklin and Main.
 Charles Goldstein, J. J. Connors. Dr. Robert Simpson and l. Gold stein made statements for the property owners. They generally agreed to pay for the paving and the municipal government to repay them. The only difference was on the rate at which the reimburse ments should be made. A final agreement calls for the repayment to be complete within four years. It is said that the saving to the City from reduced maintenance charges will be adequate to take care of the reimbursement costs.
 Petitions were being prepared to- day for circulation among the prop erty owners. The paving will not be limited to the several blocks enumerated but the offer of the City is to pave any of the streets if the owners of adjoining realty will finance the work, with the agreement, of course, that the City will refund the owners at the speci- fled rate per year.
 The work, naturally, will be linn ited to a certain extent. The City will not undertake more than it estimates it can pay for on the time. And the Council was of the opinion that no more paving could be done this year than on the streets mentioned
 The Council last night accepted the bid of L. R. Smith to paint the City Hall and the City dock build

 While in the town MT. Robertson obtained about 20 Mountain Ash trees that will come to Juneau on the next steamer. These trees, he said, are to be transplanted in the Juneau school yards. They are of large enough size to insure their healthy growth and in few years should reach a size that will add greatly to the beauty of the, now bare, grounds.
 While the plane Juneau was in Wrangell last Sunday, nine trips were made, with a full list of air sightseers each trip, according to MT. Robertson.
