MAKE YOURSELF STRONGER

People with strong constitut. ,ns
escape many minor ills that make life
miserable for Others. Don't you envy
the friend who docs not know what a
headache is, whose digestion Is perfect
and sleep undiSturbed?
How far do you come from this des-
cription and have you ever made I'M
earnest effort 10 strengthen your con-
stitution, TO build up your system to
ward OF disease and discomfort?
Everyone cannot have perfect health
but unless you have an organic disease
il is generally possible 10 improve your
physical condition by attention 10 the
rules of health, the first of which is To
keep the blood built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Palo
People contain just the elements need
ed to build up the blood and restore
the lost color and vitality. New en-
ergy circulates through the system
with the enriched blood, the heart
stops its alarming palpitating, color
returns to cheeks and lips.
Nothing more is needed except gun
light, good air, proper food and rest.
If you do not know exactly what rules
TO follow in these matters write today

Why Not a Gasolineless Day?

Why should not men or women who
deny themselves for one day in seven the
pleasure and service of these vehicles and
contribute the gasoline thus saved 1.-THE
quantity could be easily averaged for
the needs of our armies?
Gasoline is an immensely important
supply is insufficient, and must become
more and more insufficient with increas-
ing war demands. Already experts tell
us we are using three million barrels of
crude oil every month in excess of our
production
And remember, it is gasoline that hur-
ries ambulances to the wounded. T. is
gasoline that brings food to the soldier,
ammunition to the guns. Without gaso.
line the French would have lost Verdun.
And we Americans are wasting mi ion
dollars worth of this precious stuff every
day in joy riding Why not cut out joy
riding, vanity riding, all unnecessary md
ingf For our country's sake?
We could surely do this one day in
seven and on that seventh day let our
chauffeurs do gardening or drilling, OF.

MCCOY LOSES TITLE
TO MIKE O'DOUD IN
NEW YORK BATTLE

New York, Nov. 15.-Mike O'Doud, of
st. Paul is middleweight champion of
the world today.
AL Mccoy, former champion, was
licked in the sixth round. His seconds
tossed towel into the ring. He was
floored six times, four in the fourth
round and two in the sixth.
New York fans were out in force to
see the battle and kiss the F'rawley
law goodbye. 1t expired last night
and professional boxing in this state
went with 1t.
Mccoy, who won the championship
from Chip with a wild swing to the
jaw a couple of years back, risked 1t
for the first time-and lost tin his
go with O'Dowd. O'Dowd has never
been prominent as n hard hitter but
his punches seemed to shake Mccoy to
his heels. The movies were there and
the whole thing so dramatic that the
Morning World today charged it had
"all the ear marks of downright bun
combe" Other New York sporting
writer's said there were rumors of a
fake, but that the fight certainly look
ed like a real scrap.
At the conclusion, many fans jumped
up and down yelling fake" and Nc
Coy laid down."
Promoters today denied frame up
insinuations.

noon. The Boise eleven leaves this
afternoon for Baker, arriving in that
city tonight so that it will be on the

dent body of the local high will give
their team a demonstrative farewell
prior to departure this afternoon.
Baker has a fast team but Boise is
confident that it can defeat the web

cal team has not suffered a defeat this
year. No chances are to be taken Fri
day by the local eleven with Baker. 1t
will be a real gridiron battle from

many didn't come across it meant
war with the United States. That's
when Germany backed up on the
submarine campaign, Of which the
Lusitania was one of the victims.
When Germany decided as a last
resort to return to submarine fright
fulness, Germany's rulers had no il
lusiOns as to what that meant. They
knew it meant a severance of dipIO-
matte relations. Doubtless the ad-
vantages and disadvantages were
carefully weighed, and it was deter
mined that a break with this country
was better than longer holding back
the submarines. And Germany
forced the break with full knowledge
of its inevitable consequence so far
as relations with the United States
were concerned. f,the central pow
ers realize that they can't win, they
may feel that they will have a better
chance for a square deal with Uncle
Sam sitting at the table when final
peace terms are made.
Whatever the break leads to, Will
son had all his plans made and the
scenery set before it came. He was
ready for it. If we get clear into the
war it will be mainly with money,
credit, munitions and supplies. We
will have to pay our share of the cost.
For that matter the working people
of this country have been paying
more than their share of the wars
cost all along-in increased prices
for everything they consumed The
new situation may force those who
have profted by the war to pay an
increased share of the cost.
It will develop that Wilson is even
now playing for peace, and that he
has been working for at least two
years on plans for peace after peace
comes. He was in no position to
force peace while Germany occupied
