KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It’s Easy-If You Know Dr.
Edwards’ Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to fee
young — to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels — there’s no need of
having a sallow complexion — dark rings
under your eyes — pimples — a bilious
look in your face — dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in-
active bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a 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.
Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear-
ing the system of impurities.
You will know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tab-
lets by their olive color. 10c and 25c per
box. All druggists.

DAILY MOVEMENTS AT INTERIOR
By Associated Press.
St. Louis May 15—Commissioners from
; every section of the country were in
attendance here today at the opening
session of the 131st general assembly
of the Presbyterian church, at which
. a moderator for the coming year will
; be chosen and world issues considered
’ in determining the church’s policy.
Laymen, who for the first time are
eligible to hold high offices, are taking
a leading part in the assembly and
several prominent laymen, including
William Jennings Bryan, were being
supported today for moderator, the
highest office in the church.
Reports that Mr. Bryan would not
arrive until after the election late to-
day were declared by some commis-
sioners to indicate that he had with-
drawn from the contest. Others whose
campaigns were being waged were John
Willis Baer, a Los Angeles banker, and
Dr. S. Hall Young, an Alaskan mis-
sionary.
The Rev. Dr. J. Frank Smith of Dal-
las, Tex., retiring moderator, called the
assembly to order.
He declared man’s inordinate love
for money was the cause of most of the
suffering in the world, and urged a
greater democracy between employee
and employer. Dr. Smith highly praised
the new area movement of the church.
Speaking on brotherly love, the pre-
late said:
“If Jesus had dominated the peace
conference, I believe he would not have
wounded the Japanese by thrusting
aside the, question of racial equality,
nor coddled Italy’s indifference to the
rights of the Slavs.”
A number of issues are to be fought
out on the floor of the assembly which
will remain in session until May 23.
A determined effort to force adoption
of resolutions granting woman sex
equality in church affairs, and to au-
thorize women to act as ministers and
elders in the church is sponsored by the
Columbia River synod of Washington.

Tuckahoe, One Year Old Today.
A year ago the Tuchahoe, a cargo
carrier, built by the New York Ship
Building corporation at Camden, N! J.,
was completed and began her record-
breaking, career. Both before and after
her launching, this ship had had an
eventful career. She has completed
twelve voyages between Baltimore and
Boston, carrying upward of 60,000 tons
of coal and has completed two round
trips to France. The Tuckahoe is now
bound for Rio Janeiro, haying left Nor-
folk, May 6.
This vessel’s keel was laid April 8,
1918. Four days later the frames and
bulkheads were erected and on the
sixth day a portion of the shell plating.
On the twenty-fourth day the funnel
was put in position and the completion
of the engine installation and other
machinery took place two days later.
On the following day, or twenty-seven
days after laying the keel, the Tucka-
hoe was launched. Miss Helen Hurley,
daughter of Edward N. Hurley, chair-
man of the United States shipping
board, christening the ship. On May
15, the Tuckahoe entered active service,
arriving in Norfolk two days later,
loaded with 5,270 tons of cargo.

Presbyterian Moderator Makes Speech
at New Orleans. .
By Associated Press.
New Orleans, May 15.—“If the church
can not build the new world,” declared
the Rev. Dr. James I. Vance, retiring
moderator, preaching the opening ser-
mon of the fifty-ninth general assem-
bly of the Presbyterian church in the
United States, known as the Southern
Presbyterian church, here today, “it
has come to the hour of its supreme
opportunity only to fail; only to break
down and show that for two years men
have staked their hope on a counter-
feit. No such opportunity has faced it
since called into being. I do not be-
lieve the church will fail.”
1 Following Dr. Vance’s sermon the
he would advise him of the develop-
ments of the conference later.

New York Cottom.
By Associated Press.
New York, May 15.—The cotton mar- ’
ket opened steady at a decline of eight
points to an advance of four points.
Liverpool was lower and the more fa-
vorable weather map encouraged scat-
tered selling, but offerings seemed to
be well taken around 27.07 for July.
This was the result of further buying
by foreign and domestic trade interests
with renewed support encouraged by
bullish reports from the goods trade
and prospects of increased exports.
July rallied to 27.25 and October to
25.60, or eleven to fifteen points '
higher.
Situation Considered.
The Galveston Commercial Associa-
tion is in receipt of the following
communication from James Z. George,
vice president and general manager
of the Texas chamber of commerce,
relative to efforts that are being made
by the state association for the proper
allocation of ships to Texas ports:
“At a meeting of representatives
from all of the Texas ports held in
Houston last Saturday, the matter of
allocation of steamships to Texas ports'
by the United States shipping board
was discussed very fully, and the se-
rious situation existing whereby New
Orleans is now getting the larger
amount of the boats coming to the
gulf coast, was brought out very forci-
bly. : For example, out of an alloca-
tion of thirteen ships lately made to
the gulf coast, twelve of them went
to New Orleans and one went to a
Texas port.
“At this meeting the Texas chamber
of commerce was requested to take
this matter up with the shipping board
and try to get an equitable number
of ships allocated to Texas ports.
“Not only is this immediate need to
relieve the situation of Texas ports
of interest to business men of Texas,
but a further effort should be made
to export commodities from all parts
of Texas and the hinterland lying north
of it and bounded on the east by the
Mississippi river and on the west by
the Rocky mountains through Texas
ports.
“Texas ports are the short haul to
practically all of this territory.
“This is an economic problem and
your Texas chamber of commerce is
undertaking to prepare complete data
of the facilities and needs of Texas
ports, so that it can be presented in a
forceful manner to the United States
shipping board.
“Your comments and suggestions will
be gladly received.”

The steamship Edenton, one of the
United States shipping board' vessels
recently allocated to Galveston, arrived
here this morning from New Orleans,
where she has been in dry dock for the
past nine days. Several plates were
found to be loose in the vessel in her
trip across the gulf from European
ports and the vessel was sent into New
Orleans for repairs. The Edenton is the
second of the United States ships to ar-
rive in Galveston, having been allocated
here by the shipping board in response
to urgings from the Galveston Commer-
cial Association. The Commercial as-
sociation’s claims were presented by
Clay Stone Briggs, representative from
this district, who is at present in
Washington.
The Edenton is one of the steel ves-

Free zones at the principal Ameri-
cah ports are essential to the success-
ful operation of our merchant marine
and to the proper equipment of our
overseas commerce to tmeet the compe-
tition of foreign countries. That is the
judgment of the foreign traders of' the
country as expressed in the final
declaration of the sixth national foreign
trade convention which has just been
held at Chicago. Approximately 2,000
delegates from every section of the
country and representing all phases of
American commerce, industry and
finance were in attendance. The state-
ment of principles, which was adopted
unanimously at the closing session, au-
thoritatively represents the consensus
of opinion of American overseas enter-
prise. On the subject of free ports this
statement says:
“The establishment of free zones at
the principal American ports, where
products from all countries can be as-
sembled, classified, manufactured and
reshipped, will be of great assistance
in @he development of full cargoes both
ways, so essential to the success of the
new American merchant marine.”
Announcement is made of a series
of informal, intimate lecture talks
upon Ralph Waldo Emerson and Joa-
quin Miller, which are to be delivered
in the lecture hall of the Rosenberg
library on Monday, Tuesday and Wed-
nesday nights of next week. Charles
Woodbury. His friendship with Emer-
knew both of these authors person-
ally.
Monday night Mr. Woodbury will talk
of Emerson and his friends,' and on
Tuesday night of Emerson himself.
Wednesday night will be devoted to the
story of Joaquin Miller. All of the
lectures are free and will begin at
8:30 p. m.
The sanction for these lecture-talks
is -close, personal acquaintance. Now
that John Townsend Trowbridge, Thom-
as Wentworth Higginson, and Frank
Sanborn are no more, there are few
surviving who knew Ralph Waldo Em.
erson; and no one of that diminished
group is speaking of him, except Mr.
Wood bury. His friendship with Emer-
son began in 1865, when Mr. Wood-
bury was a young man, and continued
for the best ten years of Emerson's
life. The lecture is largely devoted to
personal reminiscences regarding Em-
erson.
An article by Mr. Woodbury, entitled
“Emerson’s Talks With a College Boy,”
which was published in the Century
Magazine, February, 1890, was the fore-
runner of Mr. Woodbury’s talks with
Ralph Waldo, published soon after.
