Hlioten, of Bluffton, general manager of the Morris five and ten cent stores, was here on business yesterday, making his regular round of the chain of seventeen stores. He was well pleased with the local management and conditions. To protect the consumers against the dumping on the market of unripe oranges and grapefruit, which have been put through the “sweating" or artificial coloring process, Secretary of Agricultural Houston announced that federal inspectors in the country’s citrus fruit belts have been cautioned to be specially vigorous in the detection of such shipments in interstate commerce. Shippers of such fruit are liable to penalties under a recent amendment to the food and drugs act. The sweating process turns the green of the unripe fruit to yellow. Extensive investigations by the departments chemists have shown that this process does not ripe the immature fruit, and renders it inferior in quality.

■ I 1111. , "■ ■ "" ' J BODILY HOUSEKEEPING 5

•i (By Samuel Hamilton, M. D.) i

The subject of drinking water with meals lias been misunderstood. In recent years investigation by means of X-rays, the observations of scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of water taken during digestion is necessary in good bodily housekeeping. Drink plenty of tvater both between meals and with each meal. Do not drink ice water at any time. If your kidneys are sick, or you suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at times, pain in the back or back of Ihe neck, take a little Anuric before meals. This can be found at any good drug store. Therefore my advice to young or old is, always drink plenty of pure water. And for long life occasionally lake tablets of Anuric three or four times a day. When run-down, when life indoors

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpi 1 livers. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, .but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the "keynote’’ of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth" now and then—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling —sick headache — torpid liver and are constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only results from one or two little Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take one or two-every night just to keep right. Try them. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. PUBLIC SALE.
