Morning. f- Ideal Eaater weather prevailed in Keokuk yesterday. The day left nothing to be' asked for in the way of weather, and display of clothes •which J* ajways a feature of Easter day wns not lacking yesterday. The brilliant cplon», of (he season worn in daring combinations were familiar sights. 4 The weather was ideal for walking or driving, and nearly everyone in Keokuk wu doing one of the two. The streets were crowded with pedes trians all during the day, but espec ially in the afternoon, and the parks were the rendezvous of hundreds of Easter paradera. Many people- were driving yester day and auto parties were numerous. The river drive on both Bides of the river was a popular place for the machines, and the boulevard and the roads in the city were clustered with vehicles. The autOs, many of them, looked like rainbows and flower gardens, because of the varied hued hats and dresses worn by the oc cupants. The streets took on the appear ance of a kaleidoscope during the afternoon with the' many colored dresses and hats. Blues, of all shades, pinks, old rose, and even some of the somber browns, all combined to make an ever changing color scheme. The churches yesterday observed Easter day in fitting..-manner. In all of the churches in the city special music was given .by the choirs and the pastors of practically all of the church preached npeclal sermons from Easter texts. Knights Templtfr Service.-^ The Rev. W. xi. Neill of the Trin ity M. EJ. church invited the Knights Templar to attend church, and in cons 'services at his kiuence the en tire commandery in /full uniform at the services there. tended the services there. The ser vice at the chiirch ^was impressive, and the sermon bv Qr. Neill was es pecially fitting to the occasion. The pastor's subject was Immortality. The various Sunday, schools also observed the day and* exercises were held in many of thest. And the bunny did not forget to come either. Many a Sleepy baby roll ed over yesterday morning to see what the bunny had left, and the bright colored Easter eggs, pretty baskets and nests showed that the childish faith had not been misplaced. The bunny like Santa Claus, always manages to make the*trip each year. \r Lamb In the Sun. Whether Keokuk people generally observed the old custom of looking for the Baater lamb in. the setting sun, Is not told, but some of those who did get out a piece of smoked glass said they were repaid by the picture of a lamb dancing up and down in the sun. This old supersti tion is centuries old. It has been handed down from generation to gen eration like many of the other legends of the day, until no one knowB from whence it started. Easter day brought to an end the six weeka of Lent and the social whirl once more will resume its nor- BETTER THAW CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets area Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablet*—the Substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, yid their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the reanlt of Dr. Edwards' deter mination not to treat liver and bowel complainta wtth calomel. His efforts to banish it brought-out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant "•Me tablets do the good that calomel does but. have no bad after effects. They don't 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 bavoc.with, the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lasy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Ed wards* Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "»erk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c W bo*.

Easter services in Trinity Metho dist Episcopal church were impres sive. Early In the morning the Sab bath school room was filled with bright faced boys and girls. The Sun day school of Trinity M. E. church is the pride of not only the superintend ent and pastor but many other loyal Christian workers, in the church, for this school boasts of being sixty-five per cent children and young people and the attendance yesterday was 4C6. Much credit Is due the faithful and enthusiastic superintendent, Henry Krueger, who is untiring in his devotion and ..service to this school.' Shortly after the' school was' open ed the superintendent announced that the classes and teachers as called would pass into the auditorium, the primary department under'the direc tion of Misa Anna Ritter, entering first.
