SOCIALISTS IN 4 JANCLE OVER
 WAR POLICY
(By United Press)

ST. LOUIS, April II. - A split in the Socialist party ranks over the question of American entrance into the war may be caused at the con- vention here today by eleven men heretofore prominent in Socialist councils, who have issued a manifesto supporting President Wilson's course against Germany, even to the point of war.
 Charles Edward Russell, writer and Socialist leader, was one of the signers.
 "A few weeks ago. Russell said, "the executive committee of the So- cialist party issued a manifesto pur- porting to declare that a majority of the members of the party opposed war with Germany. A minority of the party has now joined in a manifesto setting forth our belief that the ex- ecutive committees declaration Is a betrayal of democracy; that is far from representing the belief of all Socialists. and that, on the contrary, Socialists should support the presi- dent against Germany and should con- demn in every possible way, Ger many's course in the war"
 Among the signers to this manifes- to are: J. c. Phelps Stokes, William English Walling, Upton Sinclair, Char. lotte Perkins Gilman, William J. Ghent, Leroy Scott. R. w. Bruere, William l.. Stoddard, Walter E. Krue- st and his wife, Charlotte Kimbass Kruesi, and myself

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
