Paul Pain1eve, formerly French minister of war, finally succeeded in organizingea a ministry to take the place of the Ribot cabinet. For time the Socialistic Radical group presented an obstacle to the formation of a minis
 try, ruling that the first Socialist Rad ical members of the cabinet, as select ed by M. Painleve, should not be mem bers of a cabinet where the unified Socialists were not represented. These men, Renoult, Vincent, Besnard, Rem ard and Long, informed the party that they had accepted the portfolios be- fore the party had reached this de- cision and that there was bond of honor to remain. The matter was then dropped. M. Painleve was noted before the war principally as mathe- matician of the highest standing.

THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Pure blood is the body's first line OF
defense against disease.
Healthy blood contains small
amounts OF antitoxins that neutralize
the poisons Of invading germs or de-
stroy the germs themselves. That is
why so many people exposed TO dis
ease do not contract 1t. Those whose
blood is weak and therefore lacking in
defensive power are most liable TO in
fiction. Everybody may observe that
healthy, red.blooded people are less
liable to attacks of cold and the grip
than are pale, bloodless people.
To build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household
word for generation, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of
sunlight, good wholesome food and
fresh air will do the rest.
