PEPSIN NUx IRON and
sarsapariIIa-Finec Course Of Medicine.

Physicians and pharmacists have
long known the desirability and diff
ficulty Of combining iron--a super
lative tonic--in a blood-purifying,
appetite-giving medicine.
The combination of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been
secured through the happy thought
Of prescribing Peptiron Pills in con-
necton with the Sarsaparilla--the
latter to be taken before eating,
Peptiron Pills after.
In this way the two medicines
work tremendously, giving four-fold
results in blood-cleansing and up
building, in very many cases.
Peptiron Pills include pepsn and
iron,-note the name, Peptiron Pills,
--nux vomica, manganese, other
tonics, digesiives and laxatives.
What better course of medicine
can you imagine for this season?
You get blood-purifying, appetite
giving, discriminating qualities in
Hoods Sarsaparilla and grent
strength-makers in Peptiron Pills.
Buy these medicines today.

dent OF the Southern Pacific company,
on his return from the east. The
United States has for a long time
produced more food supplies of nearly
all kinds than the people OF the United
States consumed. The production in
excess OF the home consumption has
been marketed abroad and our produc-
ton has become part of the common
stock of food supplies for countries
across the sea. Now these countries
are mostly at war. an important part
OF their population becoming consum-
ers instead OF producers as they are
in peaceful times.
The demand OF these countries
from US has risen far in excess of
their needs under normal conditions.
thus resulting in contest between
our own people and the people of
foreign countries as TO the price TO
be paid for the needed supplies.
The United States is a part of a
family OF nations. We cannot live
apart unto ourselves even if we wish
TO do so.
The very prosperity this country
is enjoying in general has its pen
alties. We are exporting food as well
as munitions, and in exchange for
them we are getting gold. We cannot
eat gold. But we can increase produc-
ton, and the problem OF the high cost
of living can be solved only by in
creasing the area of production or in
creasing the production from existing
available areas through better meth
DDS. or BY both.
The cost of living will be exces-
