why thin BLOOD
MAKES thin BODIES

Thin. pale. anaemic men and
women are starving their blood.
They are simply not supplying to
the blood the oxygen, iron and cell
salts that the blood must have in
order to maintain the health and
vigor Of the body.
The red blood cells and the
white blood cells are constantly
warning in the blood. If you starve
the red blood cells. which vitalize
the blood and build up the body,
the blood becomes thin, and full of
white blood cells, and the body
starves until it becomes thin and
enlaciated, weak and sick.
Healthy blood makes the entire
body healthy. Rich, red blood, vi
talized with oxygen, iron and the
cell-salts that Nature must have to
keep the body well, or make it well
if it is sick, will renew the strength
and restore vigor and vitality.

''Claire"
By FRANK M. O'BRIEN.

IN HERE is no confusion Of characters
L in Claire, the first novel Of Leslie
Burton Blades. Three persons, and three
only, speak and move before the reader.
After Lawrence and Claire were tossed
ashore, after shipwreek, upon the coast Of
South America and had fought hunger
and wilderness together, only one more
character was needed for conflict, and this
the author furnishes in the person of
Philip, the Spanish gentleman who found
them and took them to his cabin, far from
civilization. Also far from the moral In
fluenee Of the conventions upon Claire,
who, although she had husband in the
States, began falling in love, first with
Lawrence, who was blind, and then with
Philip, who was handsome.
1t was inevitable, for triangle purposes,
that Pi lip should fall in love with Claire.
This having been arranged by the author,
nothing remains but the scenes of the con-
fict and the end Of the struggle which
the modern novelist believes must come
when two men, unrestrained by conyen-
ton or constable, love one woman. The
end is quite to be expected by the reader
who has observed that Mr.. Blades is a
follower of the Jack London school of
cave man stuff. Without going into the
red, red details of the final smash, it must
be said that the book is laid down with a
feeling of pity for both Of the male char
acters: for Philip, because he had been
leading such pleasant life until these
twain wandered into his ken; and for the
blind Lawrence, who is going out into the
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-03-30

world on the last page with woman
about whose future performances he must
now and then have some little doubt. Even
assuming that he has enough money to
arrange her divorce from her husband, he
cannot know but that she will carry the
atmosphere Of the cave with her and treat
him, On some day of dissatisfaction, the
way she treated Philip.
Although occasional crudities occur, the
book has good style in the main. The
author Of it has been blind since he was
years old. This, Of course, has not neees-
sarily a bearing on the quality Of his
work; yet the reader who knows that Mr..
Blades is blind is rather disappointed,
perhaps unjustly SO, because there is
practically no trace Of q blind mans
peculiar knowledge in the objective treat
ment of the blind hero Of the novel. Mr..
Blades may take it for granted that the
reader understands the skill which enables
blind man to go out for long walks. Or
perhaps he feared that the insertion Of
matter of this kind would divert the
reader from the battle Of the three bum
ing hearts.

"Claude's Book"

Il of many psychic books purporting
to be messages from the world beyond
Most of these impress the reader not cspe-
cially interested in psychic research

anating from the earth, rather than by
genuine converse with the spirit realm.

and Raymond, one is not altogether con-
WINGED of the authenticity Of the reyela-
tons.
Sir Oliver Lodge writes . foreword for
the latest book of messages put out by
Mrs. Kelway- Bamber as coming from her
son, who was killed in an air battle in
France in the first year Of the war. His
opinion of the volume is sufficiently clear,
though he omits to give the basis for what
he says he knows.

here is q genuine unedited though rcces-
sarily abbreviated record Of what has
come through a thoroughly honest

mation-about reincarnation, for instance

If Sir Oliver Lodge discounts some Of
the book, the critic with no experience in
spirit communications may be excused
for being incredulous concerning still
more Of it. The nature Of the work may
be illustrated BY passages at random:
The messages, as given BY "Feda," the
spirit control Of Mrs. Osborne Leonard,
represent the young man as human and
cheerful, much as he was in life.
"At a sitting on May 30, Feda began
the sitting by saying, Claude is here;
he is laughing very much; he looks SO
funny, Feda did not know him at first
He has very dirty things on, all covered
with grease, and oil, and black. Feda does
not like Claude in these clothes. He says
you will know them did; they were the
'overalls' he wore at the workshops where
he was learning mechanical engineering.
He was noted there for the amount of dirt
he managed to get of the machinery on to
himself =.
"At sitting on 18th November Claude
said among other things about his spirit
body, It's just the same as the other,
down to the wart on my finger This was
good, as on his last leave we tried to per-
suade him to see the doctor about an I'M
slightly wart that had grown on one
hand"

ISLANDERS CROSS
RIVER FOR ANNUAL
BASKETBALL GAME
BY @FRY.-

Tomorrow evening Rock Island
high schools quintet of basket
shooters will cross the water to bat
tie with the braves of the Davenport
high school. The game will be
played IN the Davenport Y. NJ. C. A.
on Fourth and Harrison streets and
will be called at 8 o'clock.
Probably the same lineup will
start the game as has begun the
others, Dopp and Greve doing the
guarding, Anderson holding down
the center, and Henke and Parks
shooting the goals.
1t ought to be a fast game, al
though nothing is known of the
players from PretZeltown. Their
basketball teams are usually Al.
The Islanders are as strong as in
years gone by and after playing
two games are confident of coming
out ahead
This is the first tri-city game and
basketball fans are eagerly watch
ing the result Although having
just been defeated by fast alumni
team. the Islanders have a strong
team and Davenport is going to get
a great surprise if she thinks that
the defeat on Wednesday was due
to poor work on the high school
teams part
This years quintet has started as
strong as teams in former years,
and having already defeated Gales
burg, last years tournament win
ner, in an unofficial game, who may
say what will be in store for the
crimson and gold in this years
tournament?

of opinion that Mickey was slow in
separating the boxers in the clinch-
es, the men succeeding in wrestling
all around the ring before finally
breaking. When they did break it
was mostly by mutual agreement
and due very little to effort on the
part of Mickey.
Peanuts Schieberl sprung the
surprise of the evening when he not
only managed to stick six rounds
with Johnny Donahue, but fought
the popular lightweight to nearly a
draw decision. The scurly-headed
bantam climbed through the ropes
the under dog, with age, reach,
weight and punching power against
him In spite of this formidable
combination, Peanuts, with flashes
of his old-time speed and clever
ness, remained very much in the
ring. He was in a bad way only
twice during the fray, in the first
and last periods.
Both boys we're given big hand
when they entered the arena. The
bout started fast, Donahue leading,
with Peanuts fighting cautiously.
In a sharp exchange Johnny got
home a stiff one to the head and
groans went up from the crowd as
Peanuts seemed on the verge of go
ing down for the count. Had Dona-
hue managed to follow up his punch
it would have been curtains for
Schieberl
Peanuts, although dazed and
groggy, used his head, however,
and staggered into a clinch Be
fore Referee Mickey Pierce separ-
ated the men Schieberl had recov-
cred. Until the last frame it was
nip and tuck Donahue forced the
fighting, but succeeded in landing
few telling blows. He missed many
times, while at close quarters his
vicious hooks were c1everly warded
off by great elbow work on the part
of Schieberl
In the last round Peanuts got in
the way of another solid punch of
Donahue's and slipped to the can
vas. At the count of two, however,
he was on his feet and fighting, ap-
parently none the worse for the
punch. He seemed in good shape,
although tired, at the bell.
Peanuts Performs Well.
