 The forum will be composed of repre-. sentative citizens from all classes and will be open to women as well as men, Programmes arranged for the forum will consist of a concert of the best music attainable, lecture and question pc riod. According to members of the com mittee there should be no propagandism in an open forum; no religious social civic or any. other propaganda. It is pure. ly for leading, light, fellowship and in spiration and never for organized ac- ton.
 Men and women will be invited to the open forum as speakers without inquir- ing as to their creed or politics, only asking whether they have done great things, thought great thoughts, lived great lives and had the power of communicat. ing their message to popular audience.

Revitalize your blood and put your system in condition to resist the hardships
 of winter

It is the strong blooded men and women who are vigorous and healthy in winter, and who are not incon- venienced by the cold, wet days. Wet feet don't bother them, sudden changes cause no inconvenience, and even when cold is caught because of contact, in a close, stuffy room, with some one already infected, the trouble seldom lasts over day or two. This highly desired state of health is brought about by having rich, pure blood, uncontaminated by impurities of any kind
 You may possibly think your blood is all right-you are not troubled by outward signs. Yet you have felt tired and languid, you have lost some sleep or had some minor ailments at times, but you regard yourself as in "fairly good condition physically" This may be true, but you should take nothing for granted, you should not "guess" that you are all right. The thing to do is to make yourself right by taking good blood tonic and
