EFFOBTS MADE TO BESOUE Miss - Ruth Morris, 21, stenogra pher in The Daily Bee business of fice, and residing at 2419 Laurel avenue, was drowned in the Missouri river near the Union Pacific bridge Sunday evening when a canoe occupied- by three others, capsized. The body has not been recovered. The dead girl had a premonition of the tragedy. "I feel that I'll be the next to go," she had remarked to Dr. Frank C. F. Shook at the funeral of his sister, Lois Shook, who died just five months to the day before Miss Morris was drowned. Miss Morris spoke, accord ing to the doctor, as though she was certain of the impending fatality When she left The Bee Wtice Satur day night Miss Morris hid the girls all goodby, saying they might never see her again. It was the tragic finish of an after noon picnic party and canoe voyage. Earn in the afternoon Miss 'Morris, Miss Freda Christensen of 3316 Mer edith and Kenneth Klepscr, 3205 Lin coln boulevard, accepted the invita tion of George Parish, World-Herald employe, living at 3465 Ames, to go canoe riding. They ihad spent most of the after noon on an island near Gibson and at 5 o'clock started for home. The frail craft was iust beneath the Union Pa cific bridge, which is undergoing re pairs, when it struck an eddy, which catapulted the canoe against a scaf folding attached to the bridge. The canoe overturned and all were thrown into the water. Miss Christensen managed to ' catch hold of the scaf fold, and Klepser and Parish, who are good swimmers, turned their atten tion to Miss Morris, who reappeared in the' strong current for an instant and then sank from sight. In spite of the efforts, the body was not recovered, and finally they made their way to shore, where they called for help. The occupants of the canoe had k, ' W ' MISS RUTH MORRIS. been friends from childhood. Until late in the evening a search was maintained for the body of Miss Mor ris, but it could not be found. Miss Morris was the daughter of the late Captain Morris of the city fire department. She is survived by her mother, two sisters and five brothers. They arc: Helen . and Edith, and Ray, Edgar, John, Clarke and Marion. - A reward of $25 is offered for the recovery of the body.

Have Discovered Dr, Ed warda' Olive Tablets are . a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are I mild but sure laxative; and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it broueht out these little olive-colored tablets. - These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. I hey dont injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Moit headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "Inggy" and "heavy."

HAMMOND HAS FIGURES Branding as absolutely false the spread about Dcs Moines since its adoption of prohibition, ex-Mayor Hanna of the Iowa metropolis, speak ing at a dry mass meeting at the Brandeis theater yesterday afternoon had this to say in regard to the Iowa capital: "Real estate valuations have actu ally gone up instead of being lowered. "Bank clearings have increased con siderably over that of previous years. "The population has increased at the rate of two thousand a year. "Taxes have been lowered, more than $17,000 yearly. "Arrests for petit larceny, etc. have been decreased fifty per cent." "Does this Took as if prohibition had injureM Des Moines?" the speaker concluded. Ross Hammond of the Fremont Tribune, after touring Colorado, gave a statistical report on the progress made by Colorado since its adoption of prohibition. Quoting Governor Carlson, Mr. Hammond said that "prohibition had done more for the social and moral uplift of Colorado than anything in history." Ihe average man is incapacitated seven and a half per rent if he in dulges in one beer after each meal," Hammond said. "Think of the loss to the employe and the employer and to the rest of society in general. "Denver is really trying to enforce prohibition. The chief of police is doing everything in his power to re duce crime as the result of dsink. The Denver chief has been making a rigorous speaking campaign. Im agine our chief of police delivering a lecture on prohibition. But the time wit) come when our chief will do so." R. B. Wallace, accompanied by a delegation of Council Bluffs dry workers, closed with a ten-minute speech. Th speaker said that Coun ell Bluffs had accomplished what it could not accomplish during its wet era. I C. E. Herring, chairman of the meeting, before introducing the speak ers gave a general resume of the liquor question in Nebraska. , Republicans at Browned Hall Steal a March The political pot contiues to boil at Brownell Hall, where on Tuesday of next week students of the well known girl school are to tast then ballot for the rival candidates for the presidency. Republi-sns stole a march on their opponents last week when Miss Thede Reed, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed of 2320 North Fifty sixth street, secured a liberal supply of Hughes posters, which were placed at vantage points throughout the school building. The G. O. P. can didate's fare appeared on all sides of the auditorium, much to the an noyance of democratic sympathizers, who countered by displaying the Wil sonian features Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success, Much Wishy-Washy Religion Today "There is too muoli wishy-washy religion nowadays, too much slack ness, too much looseness from duty, too much esse and lethargy among so-called Christian people today," de clared Rev. M. Harr Wilkenson at Mt. Moriah Baptist church yesterday morning, spesking on "Christian Fi delity." ' i ' -. His text was, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life." "This promise that Christ has made to us indicates that there is to be a struggle. We are not to take things easy, he said. "Life is a race, a bat tle. The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. But he who is faithful unto he end shall win and to him shall be given the crown of life. I have seen the crown of the king of England, But that is no such crown as the Christian Shall have. That crown is only an esrthly crown. The Christian crown shall endure when earthly kingdoms have passed away. "Too many Christians nowadays think that they can do as they like. 'I can serve God just as well at(home as , in the church,' they say! V, TJiey think they can come when they like, go when they like. Their vision is narrow and snort. They have no in-' spiration, no aspiration; they are not filled with a desire to do things for the Lord. "No; wonder such people don't grow. Lack of energy brings weak ness in spiritual things the same as in the physical. Exertion brings strength and development in spiritual things, the Same as in physical. Physical ex ercise throws off the impurities of the body. So also spiritual exercise will throw off spiritual impurities. "What I need in this church is not so much of your money, but njore of ' your Christian fidelity. If you ire . active spiritually the financial support of the church will not be lacking. "You must keep Jesus before you. You must have spiritual program. You should set aside Wednesday night for your prayer meeting and let noth ing interfere with that duty. You . should set aside Sunday morning and j Sunday evening for those services and '; let nothing interfere, with them. And so with other activities of the church. -The1 church' will have charm and pow--er and dignity to you as long is you , keep Jesus in sight and keep up i healthy exercise in spiritual things that will throw off impurities and de-.. velop your spiritual life. ' ' Political Meetings at High School Broken Up Politics has entered the peaceful corridors of Central High school and political, parties were in full blast last Friday afternoon. The meetings were occasioned by the straw vote that will be taken at the High school among the student body on election , day. As an extra precaution against violence, the "national convention", of each party was held in different parts - 1 of the building, i The republicans elected Charles - Morearty chairman, while the democrat elected Lawrence Hogue. . i Both,; conventions were. broken up' when members of the op posing party entered and cheered for their candidate. : .
