There is only one way to build up a
rundown system if the blood is pale
and thin. Many diseases are caused by
thin blood. Other diseases such as rheu
matism and influenza cause the blood to
become thin and the wasting effect of
these disorders cannot be combated sue
cessfully until the blood is restored to
its normal condition.
Pallor, nervousness, indigestion, sleep
lessness, headaches, dizzy spells, short
ness of breath, palpitation of the heart,
these are few of the symptoms of an
anemie or bloodless, condition. Some of
them are not naturally associated with
thin blood but the quickest way to over
come them is to make the blood rich
and red.
DR. Williams Pink Pills do one thing
They build up the blood by increasing
the number of red eorpuscles. As this is
done, the blood becomes a richer red and
is able to carry more oxygen, the great
supporter of human life. As the blood i'm
proves in quality the tissues Of the body
are better nourished and the functions
of the body are better performed. The
glands of the stomach are stimulated,
and the first sign of improvement is
usually a better appetite and better di-
gestion. So true is it that improved APP
petite and digestion follow building up
the blood that it is a recognized princi-
pie in medicine that there is no tonic for
the stomach that is not tonic for every
other part of the body that lacks tone.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been
used for years as blood making tonic
and system builder with such good re-
suits that in every community there are
many people who are recommending this
remedy to their friends and to Others
who are afflicted.

THE GREAT SUGAR MYSTERY

COME pretty elaborate explanations
~ will be necessary to dspel the general
resentment inspired by news Of vast eH-
ports of refined sugar from this city at
a time when many households are alto
gether without that important food COM
modify. An air of secrecy at the docks
will not help to reconcile the public to the
singular business. A cloud of techncali-
ties cannot obscure the simple fact that
there seems to be sugar in abundance for
export and relatively little for use at
home in markets where the price is being
carefully regulated in the interest Of the
public.
England, it is said, has had prior
title to $4,000 tons of refined sugar taken
from refineries in this city within the past
sixty days. Is the sugar owned by the
British Government? Or is it owned by
a syndicate of British profiteers? Repre-
sentatives of the sugar equalization
board, with apparent delberation, have
created the impression that no refined
sugar was being exported at this time.
Yet Mr.. Mccarthy, who is supposed to
direct sugar allotments in this region,
that has supplied cargoes of sugar for
Europe. Contract obligations may have
made the delivery of such cargoes inn
perative. But the public will want to
know little more about such contracts.
And if the contracts exist it will want to
know why it is necessary TO surround the
shipment of the sugar with a veil of Sc
crecy, as if an attempt were making
to get it out of the country surrepti-
tiously.
1t is a notorious fact that vast quanti~
ties of American products are being held
in some European ports to await the re-
moval of the blockade which the Allies
have established about Russia. Is sugar
part of this general hoard owned by
gamblers eager to obtain famine prices IN
unregulated markets? The news of yes
terday is likely to start a ong train of
questions in the popular mind concerning
other necessities of life

NEW WOE FOR POLITICIANS

POLITICIANS in this state have been
dreaming sweet dream. Any student
OF political undercurrents knows that ef
forts began year ago to mobilize femi-
nine sentiment OF the state in behalf of
the different parties in order that when
the franchise became universal large
blocks of votes would be ready for de-
livery as necessity arose.
The sudden tragic rift in the Women's
Republican Club yesterday, and the
nature of the charges and counter-charges
attending an explosion that experts had
long expected, show how far at sea the
wise men of the two parties actually have
been. Who can control the feminine mind
in or out of politics? Who can predict the
future of voters who resign Indignantly
from club because the president of that
club wished TO obtain an oflice?'

COAL: A CRISIS

TT is difficult to estimate or even to
imagine the losses and hardship that
business men, wagc-earners and the pub
lie at large will have to endure if the fuel
restrictions tentatively proposed by Doc
tor Garfield are made generally effective
because of continuing paralysis of the
soft-coal industry.
Suffering will be bitter and widespread
if the coal has to be meagerly rationed
only to preferred industries, and the
losses in business will pass anything yet
dreamed of in the United States. This
is because restrictions of the war period
were casual and limited to one day a
week. AS the matter looks now the
country has to prepare for coal famine
that may continue for an indefinite
period.
For the moment at least the Fuel Ad-
ministration seems to be following a
policy Of drift and hoping ardently that
the drift is in the right direction. But
surface indications are not of a sort to
encourage optimism. The governments
strike injunction, necessary and justi-
fable as it was added a new element of
bitterness to the soft-coal strike. 1t has
not served to renew production. Doctor
Garfeld's suggestion that the miners ac-
cept a wage increase less even than the
operators had promised in conferences
with the union leaders has further in
ccmsed the men. The effort in a number
of the states to reopen the mines with
volunteers is more picturesque than prac-
tical Such a procedure hardens the mis-
taken conviction among the miners that
the fight now on is primarily intended to
break the unions.
Volunteers can do little in the mines.
Mining is difficult work and it requires
eX0ericnced hands. The enthusiasm of
college men and others who are new in
the pits will not long survive the danger
and darkness of gangWayS hundreds of
feet below the surface Of the ground.
1t is apparent that the Fuel Admins
tration still shrnks from The sort of con-
troll which, as we have suggested before
in these columns, would probably have
brought order and productivity in TIE
soft-ccal fields. Such control would have
to be sweeping and authoritative from
one end of the Soft-coal region to tho
other 1t would be trying tasl, for
which Doctor Garfield has neither equip
nlent nor organization at present. But
it would have enabled the government to
summon all the miners back to work.
with a promise of fair treatment at the
outset and such an investigation Of all
their claims as would insure an equitable
adjustment of wage scales later along.
The government may vet be forced to
adopt such program. Doctor Garfield's
proposal for liGhtless nights and the
withdrawal of fuel and light and power
from nonessential Industries opens the
way to period of suffering without any
apparent end. For time it will be pos
sible to live without the industries classi-
fed as nonessential. But what is to be-
come of the millions of families that de-
pend on these identical industries for
their VerV existence?

IN THE MAYORS FOOTSTEPS

MAYOR SMITH, as the head of
A'A bonding concern, has always insisted
frankly that he had a right to mix his
public and private business when the
practice was to his own advantage In
the face of such an example sit is not
surprising to find one of the members of
his cabinet charged with following a
somewhat similar course.
Mr.. Trainers charges against Director
Wilson, of the Department of Public
Safety, imply merely that information
relative to street accidents found an easy
way from the police department to the
law Offices of firm in which Director
Wilson is a partner. The number of
claims filed against the city by Director
Wilson's firm and the total of damages
collected during the period of the Smith
administration make it appear that the
information obtained by the police de-
partment as matter Of daily routine was
used to excellent advantage by the asso-
ciates of the Director of Public Safety
In the direction of damage suits.
The Mayor may have been technically
right in mixing his bonding business with
municipal affairs. Mr.. Wilson NAV have
had no technical right to prevent his
friends from following the course COM
planned of. But if Mr.. Trainer has not
gone wildly astray in his charges the row
Involving the Director is merely another
incident that will make the end of the
present municipal administration seem a
little too far off even now.
