GOOD HEALTH
WITHIN
EASY REACH
Vigorous Health Only as Far Away
as the Use of Pepto-Mangan.
Creates Rich, Red Blood.
Pepto-Mangan Obtainable in Liquid
or Tablets-Insist on Guides
the Genuine.

There is really no reason why men
or women with thin, watery blood
and consequent poor health should
remain in that unfortunate condi-
ton. Thin, nervous, rundown, tired
people never get much happiness out
of life.
Men and women with the bloom of
health in their cheeks, cheerful,
sunny disposition and an attractive
personality are the folks who get
most Of life's enjoyment, pleasure
and success.
Gude's Pepto-Mangan furnishes
thin, watery blood with the necess-
ary nourishment to enrich it, ena-
bling it to supply energy, vitality,
and strength to every part of the
body.
Physicians recommend Guides
Pepto- -Mangan to patients suffering
from anemia because its beneficial
and lasting qualities are well known
to the medical profession.
Guides Pepto-M -Mangan is obtainable
in either liquid or tablet form. Both
forms contain exactly the same
strength and medical properties.
When you buy -Mangan of

"Gude's" is on the package. Without
"Gude's" it is not Mangan,

Soldiers in Politics.

Some people are said to be opposed
to the candidacy of Col. Frank P.
Stubbs for governor for no other rea-
son than that he is backed by what
they allege is the biggest political
"machine" in the state. That is
just what the Huns said about the
American army. But without the
help of the big American machine .
the result, of the world war would
have been problematical. All honor
to Col. Stubbs as a veteran of the
war. Let us honor him and put him
at the helm Of the ship of our state.
AS he proved trustworthy and safe
at the head of a regiment of soldiers,
so will he prove as the head of the
governmental affairs of the state. He
was at the forefront in three wars,
and we know that in his hands a
government of the people, by tn :
people and for the ->oorle, will be
perpetuated. When you vote fer
Stubs you vote for a veteran OF the
world war and for pure American
ism.

notzin sympathy with the sugar grow
ers and that the latter had ahead of
them hard times during the war.
Mr.. Parker resigned as food ad-
|ministrator on September 8, 1919. .
To show that he was not in SYM
|pathy with the. sugar planters and
was perfectly willing, if not glad, to
see the price of sugar kept atfruinous
prices to them, / beg leave to quote
from Mr.. John M. Parker's official or
gan, the Shreveport Journal in North
Louisiana, its report Of Mr.. Parker'ss
meetings held in Grant parish, at
Selma and Pollock, in Mr.. Parker's
recent North Louisiana campaign,
where that paper said
The question was asked Mr.. Par
ker what connection he had with the
increase in the price of sugar?
It seems that Grant parish had
been pretty well folded with the
stery that it was Mr.. Parker who
was directly responsible for the pres
ent price of sugar."
When the question was asked him
by one of the men in the audience
Mf PaFker laugned
I'll can answer that very simply"
he declared, "the answer is that re-
signed on September 9 of this year
and, that UP to that time there had
been no increase in the price. You'll
have to blame anything that hap
|pened after that on some one else. !"
"Mr. Parker assumed by the above
statement the credit FOR having kept
the price of sugar down and said the
blame for putting it up rested on
somebody else.
"This shows that he is either shifty
or insincere; running with the hare
and hunting with the hounds; that
he breaches protection for sugar
planters in South Louisiana and cheap
sugar in North Louisiana.

WAR RISK INSURANCE.
Additional Reinstatement Ruling
Issued by Treasury Department.

| A series of decisions issued by the
| director of the bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
secretary of the treasury, provides
more liberal conditions for re-instate-
ment Of lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions Of Treasury De-
cision No. At, allowing eighteen
months premiums on the amount of
Insurance to be re-instated, are re-
tanned. That decision is iberalized,
however, by new provision that
men out of the service are permitted
to reinstate by merely paying the
two months premiums without max
ing statement as to health at any
time within three calendar months
following the month of discharge.
In order to give all former SER
vice men whose insurance has lapsed
or been cancelled, a fair chance to
reinstate their insurance, including
men who have been out of the ser
vice eighteen months or more, and
who are therefore barred from re-
lnstatement under the former ruling,
a special blanket ruling is made
which allows all ex-service men to
reinstate their insurance before De-
cember 81, 1919, provided that each
applicant is in as good health as at
date of discharge or at expiration of
the grace period, whichever is the
latter date, and SO states in his ap-
plication. OF course it is necessary
that he tender the two months pre-
mimums on the amount of insurance
he wishes to reinstate.
The provisions for reinstatem ent
do not protect man until he actual
ly reinstates. If he waits he may not
be in as good health as he was at the
time of discharge and consequently
may not be able to secure reinstate-
ment.

PARKER NO FRIEND OF SUGAR.
Prices of Everything Except Sugar
Increased When He Was Food
Administrator.

| Ex-Gov. l.. E. Hall and James Will
kinson of New Orleans addressed a
large crowd of people at the Houma
courthouse in behalf of Col. Frank
IP. stubbs for governor last Sunday.
In the course of his speech Mr..
Wilkinson, referring to Mr.. Parker's
attitude toward the sugar planters,
! Isaid @
s Parker says he is the friend
ftof the Louis Tie 10, how
ibid the latter fare under the Parker
regime during the war as compared
Ito other agricultural sections?
Wheat went up from an aver
lage before the war of SIS cents a
bushel to minimum price fixing Of
I$2.25 bushel for the lower grades,
with the sky the limit for the upper
grades. =
.s2. Corn went up from normal
price Of about SIS cents a bushel to
I$1.95.
"s. Beef rose about 800 per cent
| too.
~. Pork rose about 325 per
cent.
rs. Cotton rose about 200 per
cent.
"6. Sugar would have risen from
Is cents to Is cents a pound, but it
was handcuffed and ball and chain
was put on it, and 72 was the maxi
mum price allowed for 96 test sugar,
which the Louisiana sugar planters
largely made. This was a rise of
about SO per cent
ST. Rice rose about SO per cent
| too.
g. Louisiana potatoes, owing to
| IN increase in this food production
recommended by Mr.. Parker, fell as
low as 60 cents a hundred pounds,
hardly enough to pay for the sacks
and freight.
1t will be seen that South Louis
lana, while having to pay 800 pei
cent increase in normal prices for al.
most everything that our section
bought, had their own products ad.
vanced only SO per cent.
Il attended a meeting Of sugar
planters held to protest at their un-
just treatment I had few dollars
of stock in a sugar company that
did not wish to see made valueless.
When some of these planters then
grumbled at their unjust treatment,
Mr.. Parker, who stood near me, said
in voice as harsh and steely as the
lclanking Of chain, that if any man
violated any rule Of his departm
or sold sugar above the price fixed,
he would close his sugarhouse.
'1 felt then that Mr.. Parker was

PROHIBITION CONSTITUTIONAL
u. S. Supreme Court Upholds War
Time Act by Unanimous Opinion.

By unanimous decision rendered
last Monday, the Supreme Court Of
the United States declared the war
time prohibition act constitutional.
/ The opinion which was read by As
]sociate Justice Brandeis held in eff
feet, however, that the war-invoked
''dry' period still may be terminated
by presidential proclamation of de-
mobilization.
The court did not pass upon the
validity of the Volstead prohibition
enforcement act or on appeals in
Ivolving the alcoholic contents Of
| beer, leaving those cases to future
decisions, which may be handed down
next Monday, before the court re-
cesses for the Christmas holidays.
The high courts decision practi-
cally swept away all hopes Of a swet"
Christmas, as the possibilities of the
war time act being repealed before
constitutional prohibition becomes
effective January Is next, are con-
sidered very remote.
The cases decided were those of
the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware
house Company of Louisville, KY,
and Dryfoos Blum & Co. of New
York, instituted for the purpose of
compelling the government to re-
lease whiskey from bond. In both
eases the court denied the eonten-
tions of Elihu Root and other attor-
neys for the distillers that the act in
violation Of the constitution takes
private property without just COM
pensation, that the period of war
emergency for which the act was
passed has terminated, that the law
was an interference with the state
police powers and an undue exer-
else of the war powers of congress.
Kentucky distillers are said to be
hard hit by The Supreme Courts de-
cision. 1t is estimated that they have
about 3e,000,000 gallons of whiskey
in Kentucky bonded warehouses,
100000 of which are said to be in
Louisville alone, and ordinarily worth
at wholesale prices about S400,000,-
900.
One Of the Kentucky distiilers,
apparently voicing the majority opin-
ion, said that he intended to keep his
stock Of $4,000 barrels in bonded
warehouses, and see what would
happen.

Pick Cotton, Bolls and All.

By the simple process of picking
cotton in the boil, incubating the
crop thus gathered, and then extract
ing the fiber by machine, the inven-
tor Of new system promises a prac-
tical metamorphosis Of the whole
cotton industry, says the January
Popular Mechanics Magazine in an
illustrated article. A $4,000 plant
already has proved the practicable
|ity of the idea. The success of the
method rests on the discovery that
cotton natures as much as three
weeks before the hull opens, and ac-
|tually deteriorates from the time the
boil first cracks. One machine unit
produces one bale an hour, requiring
20 h. p. to run, 20 pounds Of steam,
and two attendants. Cotton so pick
ed is declared to be cleaner, bright
er, stronger, and longer-fbered than
the staple as handled at present.

Parker a Tax Dodper.

Charges made by Parker speakers
that property in the Stubbs family
in Ouachita parish had been assessed
at approximately 80 cents on the dol
lar prior to the creation of the Board
of State Affairs, were quickly an
sWered by the Stubs management
which issued a report based upon in
yestigations it had made, that Par
aer property in East Carroll had been
under-assessed by 40 per cent; that
he had sold farm lands at profit ag-
gregating 375 per cent, and that the
personal assessments Of John NJ. Par
ker & Co, in Union Street, New Or
leans, had been raised from $4,000
which was the assessed value when
the Board of State Affairs took
charge in 1916, to S180,OO0 in 1918
and to 100000 in 1919. The inves-
tigation further revealed that Ear
.,'er Jawn" has quietly disposed of
his farmlands in East Carroll, and
turned them into Chicago real es-
tate, transferring his money, invest
ments and interest from Louisiana
to Illinois.

What the Times -Picayune Said About it JAM 25 1916
Now That Paper is Supporting Him.
The following article clipped from the New Orleans
States copied from Times -Picayune editorial of

Mr.. Parker's record politically
1896. Charged with voting for Pharr; never denied
charge.

ticket part regular part Jacksonian.'
1904. Attended his first ring convention at which
his brother nominated district attorney; couldn't vote
because he was squawnan absolutely silent during the
civic upheaval that followed
lated law in exposing his ballot.
1912. Flopped back to Democracy; led and won the
fight for Governor Hail. year, between state and
city campaign, deserted Hall and Democracy; Joined
Roosevelt and registered Progressve league defeat re-
suited in city.
:" I gave my word to Theodore Roosevelt that if he
called would respond. He has called am responding

How Democrats place such man in the front

The TimesPcayune is today supporting Mr. Parker for
governor in spite of the above opinion which entertain
