RED LIPS AND HEALTH

The first place that anemia, or thin
blood, shows is in the lips and gums
and the membranes that line the eye
lids. You may be naturally pale and
still be healthy but when these MEM
branes lose their bright red color your
blood is deficient in quantity or color.
Thin blood is danger. 1t invites
disease. The organisms of the blood
fight off disease germs. Thin blood
means less power to do this. For in
stance, when you cut yourself it does
not heal SO quickly if your blood is thin
and weak.
To build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household word
for q generation, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They tone up
the entire system, make the blood rich
and red, strengthen the nerves, in
crease the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty OF sun
light, good wholesome food and fresh
air win do the rest.
Two books, Building Up the Blood''
and "What to Eat and How to Eat''
give Just the information that every
mother of growing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today to the

tady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells

College Men Not Taught
Hard Work, Says Elliott

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 27.-The sys-
tenn of college education which accus-
toms undergraduates to luxury and
ease was brought to task severely in a
letter sent by Howard Elliott, presi-
dent of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, to the-Daily Prince
tonian. the campus organ of Prince
ton University. In speaking of the
defect of the college-bred man in
business Mr.. Elliott said
II should say one trouble about the
college man in business is that he has
not learned in all cases the necessity
for hard, continuous drudgery. This
is absolutely necessary if any of us are
going to succeed in business, law,
medicine or anything else. The pre-
paratory schools and colleges are too
easy. and boys get into the habit of
luxury, and then think it is a hard
ship to be getting up at o'clock in
the morning, going to work at and
keeping at 1t all day long"

Expense of Feeding Diet
Squad Will Not Drop
Below 40 Cents Apiece

Chicago. ILL.,, Nov. 27.-Hope that
expense of feeding the twelve mem
bers of the Chicago health depart
ments diet squad might drop much
below the prescribed cost limit of 40
cents day a person has been aban-
doned, DIR. John d. Robertson, health
commissioner said to-day.
THE exact cost will be made pub
lie at the end of the test" he said,
but I do not hesitate to say that it is
going to be close to the Accent maxi
mum for the food alone. We have
made no allowance for light, heat,
service or other overhead expenses"
DIR. Robertson urged that it be re-
membered that the purpose of the test
is not to show how cheaply one can
live, but to show the cost of good
living.
With the beginning to-day of the
sixth day of the two weeks test there
was a net gain of five pounds in the
aggregate weight of the twelve mem
bers of the squad. Breakfast consisted
of stewed apricots. cornmeal mush,
buttered toast and coffee

plains where they were raked with
machine gun and artillery fire. The
account also said that an automo bile
in which Villa was directing the ban
dit attack was riddled by the fire OF

leader was froced TO fee on horse
back.

released the prisoners in chihuahua
prison before he was driven out OF
the city. Carranza officials said they
had received no such advices.
