BECAME thin
AND WEAK FROM
LACK OF BLOOD

Ifyour blood is not fortified against
the multitude of disease germs that
surround us, you risk being prey to
sickness. You may not be able to put
in a good days work without a con-
slant feeling of exhaustion.
The experience of Mrs. George B.
Havey, of No. 619 Parkwood avenue.
Youngstown, Ohio, viii interest many.
She says.
81 was pale and weak and nv blood
was impoverished. My appetite was
very poor, food distressed me and
often had nervous spells, / was SUBJ
ject to dizziness when every thing
would turn black before my eyes. Ny
heart would beat very fast when I
went up stairs. I could not sleep. At
night / had dry hacking cough and
became so thin and weak that / had
no strength to do any work.
some day read about Dr. Williams
Pink Pills In paper and decided to
give them trial. After taking few
boxes felt like a different person and
took the pills until / recovered. / am
glad to recommend DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to any person suffering with
anemia"

u. S. Educating Soldiers.

A writer says in an article in the
June Farm and Preside;
1--WE Americans, as a people, are pro-
gressive. We are constantly on the look
out for advancement, for promotion in
business, for self betterment in our par
ticular walk Of life. This holds equally
true for the boys in our armies to-day.
After their day of military maneuvers,
tactics, and drills, they want relaxation
and many of them find it in arduous
mental tasks,
"Our foreign born naturalized citizen
is eager and willing TO labor over the
rules of English grammar. Our Ameri.
can boy of high school education also
wants mental Developments possibly
typewriting or mechanics, or foreign
language, will be his selection. Even
the college graduate is calling for ad
yanced courses in specialized subjects.
'Tncle Sam saw that there was a
need, and made generous arrangements
to give the boys every opportunity to
perfect themselves along practical or
student lines. Some of our less far-see-
ing business men stormed and ques-
toned: Frenchf All right they will
need that on the western front. But why
all this energy expended on Spanish and
English literature and American his
tory? What place can all that have in
the life of a soldier?
Directly it can have no influence, but
indirectly it yields mighty influence
for it makes the soldiers contented gives
them vista of an upward path which
will be theirs to climb when the war is
over. No matter what subject they
choose to follow during their training
camp days, it is the very act of choosing
TO learn all about the job they are to do
and then do it to their utmost, that
shows the spirit Of our soldiers"

How Shall We Help Russiaf

Baron Korekiyo Takahashi has
written an article for the Tokyo
Kokumin in which he urges japan to
help Russia find herself. In this task,
Japan must CO. cooperate with the AL
lies; the United States, especially.
should be convinced Of the honest
intentions of Japan. Those jealous OF
Americas economic enterprises In
Russia merely reveal the narrowness
Of their outlook. Russia awaits all
manner of industrial improvements.
and Japan cannot help her greatly IN
that respect without assistance from
the United States. The Baron con-
cludes: I'VE have a reserve in specie
Of one billion yen, but that IS 100
small a sum to enable US to invest IN
so gigantic an undertaking as the in
dustrial development of Russia. Ii
we sincerely desire to save Russia
and to destroy the economic in
fuences of the enemy, the strong re-
sources Of the United States must De
drawn upon"
A wise Japanese conclusion, but it
seems to us that brain is needed De-
fore yen. The highest practical in
telligence of the nations united for
world peace and democracy. should
first evolve plan of assistance to
Russia that will not be offensive to,
and opposed by. the great masses
of Russia's independence" confused

patched Clothing! Why Not?

Fully year ago officials of the
government in charge of the WOODS
and woolena departments were cred
tied with saying that the time was
coming when patched clothes for
men would be quite common, and one
official in particular rather amused
the entire textile and clothing indus
tries with tho statement that patch
on tho seat of trousers would be he
STYLE before tho war is over.
since then from time to time these
discussions have been referred to and
renewed in both official and unof-
fetal meetings. and has again been
brought up in Washington, this time
10y the war industries board. 1t is
openly declared that the conservation
must not he confined 10 food stuffs.
but must he extended 10 all dcscrip-
lions Of clothing. and that wearers
must Immediately begin to figure on
getting so per cent more wear out of
their purchases.
Garments say government officials,
must be ripped apart, turned inside
out and otherwise repaired. This
they say Conserves labor as we'll as
materials. and If not done voluntarily,
measures will be adopted to force
such conservation it is declared.
In tho discussion on the subject
member of the war industries board
remarked that it has not been the
habit Of American consumers to
actually wear out garments. Think
what n saving it would be. continued
tho informant. If every man would
figure on wearing suit for the
period of IS months that he would
ordinarily discard at the end Of a
year or sooner. This would result in
a saving OF so per cent in mems
clothing. and the same will be ap-
piled to women's apparel.
Government officials claim they
have studied the matter carefully
and have arrived at the conclusion
that the public will realize the neces-
sity OF conserving clothing just as
they have food. and that even the
wealthy who will not actually have

plying with the government requests

Tho wealthy should lead in such
conservation. Do we not follow the
styles and cdicts OF the wealthy?

we can. ape the rich? silks, satins

prominent patch on the back stoop of

will assume that he can't afford a

and will hasten TO do likewise.
