BUILD UP YOUR BLOOD

It is hopeless task to try to restore your health while your blood IS def- cient in quantity or quality.
 The blood circulates throughout, every portion of the body except the hair and nails. It takes the nourishment from the food and distributes it to the various muscles and organs; 1t takes also any medication that is administer ed through the mouth. The blood is the only means by which medicine can reach the nerves. If the blood is thin it's carrying capacity is lessened because it is the red corpuscles in the blood that carry oxygen and other needed constitu- ents to the various parts of the body.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People increase the red corpuscles in the blood. They enable it to absorb more oxygen, to carry more life and strength to the weakened organs. In any disease in which the patient be- comes thin and pale Dr. Williams Pink Pills can be used successfully to com bat the a4emia and build up the health and strength.
 "Building Up the Blood'' is book let, full of good information. Every mother and every growing girl should have ono. It is sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schen- ectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Price5O cents.

HERR THYSSEN IS
 MODEST CROESUS
Lives Simple Life in Spite Of His
 Millions

Correspondence of the Associated Press) Ham born -on-the-Rhine, Nov. 14- One of the most important wheels in the German war machine is August Thyssen, in antebellum days coal and steel magnate of the first rank but now, in view of the industrialization of war, general field marshal of the industrial army, and collaborator and confidant of Hindenburg. He is small and frail but powerful as an indus trial leader. Notwithstanding the tremendous scope Of his work he clings stubbornly to old-fashioned methods where he himself is con- cerned.
 He will not tolerate a stenographer for his personal use, but writes all his letters by hand His correspon- dence Is large, much larger than he can attend to, along with his other duties at his office So he takes what is left over home with him to his only luxury, his castle home near Kettwig, and after dinner finishes it, if it takes until the wee small hours of the morning.
 Despite his enormou wealth he has never personally owned an autOm O. bile, nor will he ride in one to save his own time. He goes and comes from his home to his office on foot or in a street car. He wears modest, dark colored business suit instead of the formal morning suit'' so general ly affected in Germany, and looks less like a nulti-millionaire than the average clerk.
 From the very outset of his climb from comparative poverty to great riches, and above all to very great renown as an industrial leader, Herr Thyssen has steadfastly refused titles of all kinds.
 Tn the late eos he founded an iron establishment in Duisburg with his total capital of 5000 Thalers (about l s6,0O0) and in 1871 moved his plant l to Muelhein on the Ruhr, where there l later came into existence the plant 'Deutscher Kaiser" which today in 1 cludes one-tenth of the coal lands
 of Westphalia and gigantic steel mills. l Just before the war there were em- l ployed some 10000 men and the coal l fields contained some 37O millions of | cubic meters of coal. He is now the 1 principal owner of half a dozen huge
 industrial projects in the Rhineland

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and r
 Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but il live well, eat well, digest well, slee1 we'll, look well. What glorious condi tion to attain, and yet how very easl 1t is if one will only adopt the mornin1 inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to fed dull and heavy when they arise, Split ting headache, stuffy from cold foul tongue, nasty breath, acid std mach, can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluices of thu system each morning and flushing ouI the whole of the internal poisonouI stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick. oi we'll, should, each morning, beforl breakfast, drink e, glass of real hoj water with a teaspoonful of limestonl phosphate in it to wash from th{ stomach, liver, kidneys and bowel the previous days indigestible wasta sour bile and poisonous toxins thu cleansing, sweetening and purifyinN the entire alimentary canal befoH putting more food into the stomacl The action of hot water and limeston' phosphate on an empty stomach wonderfully invigorating. It clean
  waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast. Whil| you are enjoying your breakfast, thI : water and phosphate is quietly exf tracting a large volume of water froIY the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the insid organs.
 The millions of people who ar bothered with constipation, biliou spells, stomach trouble, rheum atisn others who have sallow skins, bloc1 disorders and sickly complexions a urged to get a quarter pound of limd stone phosphate from the drug stoI! which vii cost very little, aut sufficient to make anyone prd nounced crank on the subject internal sanitation.

JUGGLE WITH TRUTH.
War Prisoners Try to Please Captors. But Statements Cause Suspicion.

War Prisoners Try to Please Captors,
 But Statements Cause Suspicion. Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 Toerzburg. Pennsylvania, Nov. 11.- Prisoners of war being not unwilling to please their captors, their state ments must be taken with a large pinch of salt. Though there be no officer of the enemy present, the pris- oner of war cannot be sure that his statements do not become known to the powers into whose hands the for tune of war has placed him.
 The Associated Press correspondent was able to interview here today two score Rumanian officers and men who had fallen into captivity near Rucar, some twenty miles south of here No Central power officer was within earshot.
 One of the first men questioned was 8 Rumanian Jew, man of some edu- cation and standing. He had served as a private. Unblushingly he said that he had looked for chance to surrender. Question why, the man almost flew into a rage. He could not see why Jew should fight for a government which in times of peace gave him no vote and no part in the affairs of his country. He hoped that the Central troops would get to Buch- arest in few days and hang them all, especially Bratianu and Take Jonescu who had so needlessly involved the country in war. Six other Jews were a little tinaid in their expressions but seemed to heartily agree with their spokesman.
 Captured officers are non-interview- able as a rule. The code as we'll as ta ct forbids that they be questioned but one of them, a tall handsome fellow of about twenty-five, gave it as his opinion that the war was "une sale affaire''-a dirty business.

acts, letters and notifications. The only exceptions to this rule permit French to be used when a reply has been specifically requested in that language, or when the original letter of inquiry was in French.
 In Greater Brussels the authorities may make use of either French or Flemish yet from the first of Janu- ary, 1917, all communications from authorities of the various sections of Brussels to the outlying Flemish dis tricts must be in Flemish. All noti- fications and public notices are to be issued in Flemish, with French trans lations accompanying them when de- sirable.
 German is to be allowed only in sections of Belgium where it prevails as the Language of the country'.

MEAT EATING EXTENSIVE.
Much Could Be Saved by Giving Up
 Habit Slightly.

London, Dec IA million pounds or s5,0oO,00O, could be saved in a fortnight if everyone would agree to go without meat on one day each week. says the newest appeal to the public to cut down their meat con- sumption made by the National War Savings Committee. Last September a Board of Trade committee making a similar appeal for economy, urged the public to agree to one meatless day each week, but apparently it has fallen on deaf ears.
 At present high prices the civilian population of this country now eats about 500,0O0 pounds worth of meat every day, according to figures com piled by the war savings committee which finds that this is due to the habit of eating meat-beef, mutton, pork or bacon-two or three times a day.
 Excessive meat eating is a bad habit" adds the committee. Moth ing so radical going without meat of any kind for a whole day is needed. People who eat meat twice a day should cut down the meat eaten, talk ing more fish, dried beans, peas, etc, and cheese, and those who eat fish and several kinds of meat at lunch and dinner should have only fish or one variety of meat"
 Those not engaged in physical toll are especially urged to cut down their consumption of meat.
 Besides the beneficial effects of the health, the appeal reasons that the demands upon shipping would be les sened, the supplies could be more evenly distributed, and a further in- crease in prices could be avoided.

Take your sour, ut-of- order stom- ach-or maybe you call it indigestion dyspepsia or gastritis, 1t doesn't matter-take your stomach trouble right with you to your pharmacist and ask him to open a 5O-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain triangu1e and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your former misery.
 The correct name for your trouble is food ferm rmentation-acid stomach food souring; the digestive organs become weak, there is lack of gastric juice; your food IS only half digested and you become effected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in linn bs, sleepless- ness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nervousness, dizziness or many other similar symptoms.
 If your appetite is f1okle, and noth- ing tempts you, or you belch gas or If you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there is but one cause-fermentation of undi- gested food.
