WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER'BILE-
WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Karin to Go

II you feel sour and sunk and the world
looks punk, don't swallow q lot OF salts,
mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing
gum and expect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full Of sunshine.
For they can't do it. They only move the
bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-oue
feeling Is your liver. It should pour out two
pounds Of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
II this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You have
thick, bad taste and your breath is foul,
skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.
1t takes those good, old CARRIERS
LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel up and up" They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carriers

boro, Mr.. Oren declared that he
did not know when the bonds
would again be offered for sale.
One of the reasons for recalling

Mr.. Oren said that the schools
most affected by the withdrawal
Of the bonds are in rural sections

At the same time, he said. we are

- HE Arts CLUB OF washington opened
last Sunday another Of the stinu-
lating exhibitions which it has pre-
sented throughout the season at
fertnightiy intervals. The current
offering includes water colors by Eliot
O'Hara in the gallery and water colors and oils
by Elise T. Clark in the reception rooms Miss
Clark was hostess at the tea which inaugurated
these exhibitions.
The work of both artists is already known to
Washington, as they have exhibited here
recently last year. Miss Clark had an exii-
htion at the studio cf the District Of Columbia
League Of American Pen Women, and Mr.
O'ffara held his first "one-man" show in Wash
mgt9n at the Dunthorne Gallery in February
1851. The latter has many personal friends
here. He married Miss Shirley Putnam, dsugh-
Ter Of DR.. Herbert Putnam, librarian of Con-
gress.
Eliot OHara was bern in 1890 at Wsltham,
Mass where he still resides He began his
career manufacturer, took up painting as
y pastme in 1924 and his enthus a NJ for his
silobby' grew rapidly. IN 1925 h hclG one
man" show in Boston, at which three of his
paintings were acquired by private collectors,
and shortly thereafter number CT others were
accepted for the Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine
Arts Annual The award to Mr.. O'Hara IN 1923
Of fellowship by the Guggenheirn Memorial
Foundation for travel and study abroad encour-
aged him to the pcint CT Severtng his business
connections entirely. and he took his family to
Europe for two and a half years.
The 38 water co!ors now at the Arts Club
include examples representing the various
countries Mr.. OHara visited at that time
well as impressions of trips elsewhere in 1880
and 1881. This variety of subject matter
Dances the exhibitions interest. The water
coiors are broadly painted but not SO broadly
that they cannot be enjoyed within a fairly
close range. 1t is interesting to know, for pur-
poses of comparison, that Charles Hopklnson
whose water cOlors are now on view at the
Corccran Gallery of Art, was one Of Mr.. OHara'S
Instructors. Like Mr. Hopkinson, Mr. OHaTa
uses pure aquaree and lets the white paper
play an important part in his design; but other
