Pepto- Mangan Gives the Help the
Body Needs to Make Rich,

Name "Gude's on Every Package
Sold by Druggists in Both Liquid
and Tablet Form-Medicinal
Virtues are the Same

The lessons are hard and the chill
dren are growing. Watch their health
and if they become pale and hstless
and don't want to work or play,
consult good physician at once if
you suspect any serious adlment.
The splendid tonic, Pepto-Mangan,
if given daily for few weeks, will
in most cases, restore the strength
and start the young folks on the
road to god health again. Youth re-
spends quickly. You can buy Pepto-
Mangan in tablet or liquid form OF
your druggist and can always be
sure of the genuine by looking for
the name "Gude's" on the package.
Without the name "Gude's" it is
not Pepto-M angan. 1t is a fine tonic
and blood maker for the whole fam
lily. Physicians everywhere have
used it for nearly thirty years.

on food and clothing. 1t has likewise
been determined by the Commission
that instead Of making the attempt
to regulate all kinds of prices on
every commodity, a policy will be
followed of selecting ten staples in
groceries, five in meats and an equal
number in clothing, as well as few
staples in shoes and establishing fair
prices ON these articles, which prices
are to be based on the actual cost
of the materials and not TO be ea1-
culated ON any replacement basis;
in other words, the Commission is
going to center its attention for the
present on few essentials Of life,
rather than the so-called Injuries.
With this information in hand,
the facts are to be presented to the
Fair Price Committee, the chairman
of which will be appointed In few
days, which committee was formed
and selected in accordance with spe-
cific Instructions from the Attorney
General in Washington, and with
the confirmation Of these prices.

and the governments treatment of
conscientious DIRECTORS. BY an over
whelming majority the Legion put
the bonus question squarAly up to
Congress, feeling legislation in its
selfish interest and leaving with con-
fidence to the Congress the dis
charge of this obligation" Provi-
sions for the wounded and disabled
soldiers were recommended TO Con-
gress. Resolutions condemning the
War Department for its leniency
toward conscientious directors were
unanimously adopted. Foreign LAM
guage papers were assailed and
recommendations made recurring all
articles on political questions or
cond9nning the government to be
accompanied by an English trans
lation in an adjacent column.
The spirit of pure Americanism
and law and order pervaded the pro-

assure us they will be able to prose-
cute successfully, under the extern
sion of the Lever Act, anyone charg-

Instead of relying upon the mails
the commission is sending two of its
