Tired, Overworked
MOTHERS
Do This
Do This
Begin Now to Rebuild Your Strength
So the Winter Won't Find You
Weak and Sick

Mothers who have had no real rest.
or recreation this Summer but who
nave lost strength and vigor, and can
hardly navigate because of their
weak tired feeling-must not suffer
this way long. The results lead to
dangerous illness.
The constant drudge of housework,
continued care, of active playing
of terrible Summer heat. places these
attentive Mothers on the road to sick
ness and premature age, unless the
vitality is rebuilt, blood renewed and
living.
Your blood gets thin and weakened
under such strain. 1t strives to
maintain energy. in a body weak
becomes thin and watery in its eff
forts to rebuild a system too far
gone in weakness. How then are
you to strengthen your blood, to re-
gain your own health and vitality 4?
Simply begin to nourish your blood
with good natural blood food.
Many women use a blood food called
Novo-San. 1t is endorsed by phys
clans and used by them in building
up weakened run down people.
NoVo-San will add white corpuscles
(the policemen of the blood to the
blood to quickly drive out the waste
matter that comes from the torn
down tissues. Then as your blood
gets rid of this waste matter, it will
begin almost Immediately to add en-
ergy to your body and feelings.
Try Novo-San and see how quickly
your strength and force picks up
from day to day and how the color
returns to your cheeks and real life
to your feelings.
A twelve-days' treatment will
surely tell, and enough for such a
trial can be obtained from II. C. Ken
nedy and Geo. A Gorgas, at small
cost. A so per cent. better feeling
will be yours.-Advertise

VILLA SECURES
MUCH MUJNITION
BY SMUGGLING
Federal Authorities Have Diff
ficulty in Preventing Sup
plies Going to Him

lei PaSo, Texas, Aug. 27.-Fran-
cisco Villa has obtained his ammuni-
ton for equipping his men for his
bandit raids by smuggling across the
United States border or by capture
OF CarranZa troops. 1t is believed
that in the past, millions of rounds
of ammunition have been smuggled
into Mexico for Villa from Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. Small
fortunes are said to have been gain
ed by the smugglers.
The United States has stopped the
smuggling by wholesale, by compell-
ing ammunition dealers to obtain
permits from the Army Intelligence
Department and by requiring them
To make reports of sales showing
who receives the ammunition and
the use to which it is to be put.
Nevertheless, it is claimed small
quantities of ammunition still are
being smuggled over the border.
Steals From Carranza
Villa has often boasted that he
obtained large part of his ammuni-
ton and many rifles from Carranza
troops. He captured 10000 rounds
of ammunition intended for Carranza
at Parral last spring. Prior to
Villas last attack on Juarez a few
weeks ago, Carranza customs Of
fetal was discovered delivering am
munition to Villas spies in Juarez.
Villa finances his revolutionary
movement by compelling foreign
mining and cattle companies to
make forced loans" in return for
protection and by seizing and selling
cattle, silver and other property.
Instances in which he has forced
loans" have been reported within
a few months. When Villa was en-
camped near Juarez he carried a
travelling bag filled with American
gold and currency obtained from
companies in northern Mexico.
1t is known that he has captured
some of the horses sold by the
United States Army remount depot
at Fort Bliss to the Carranza gov
ernment.

efforts to bring down prices, has not
been disclosed, if indeed, 1t has been
considered.
Indicative of the determination of
Director General Hines and the rail-
road administration to deal fairly
with all classes of employees, the
Director General to-day instructed
the Board of Railway Wages to
consider promptly any demands that
might be made and to report recon-
mendations for correcting any in
equalities found to exist, though gen.
eral advances for any class will not
be made until it has been proved
that present level of prices is per-
manent.
In that case, both the President
and Mr. Hines have given assurance
that railroad workers would re-
ceive readjustmont of their wages.
The taking of Il strike vote ordin-
arily requires about three weeks.
In the present instance, however, it
is believed the vote may be COM
pleted earlier, as instructions were
given by the International officers
to the unions to summon meetings
il necessary and to telegraph the re-
suit of the balloting.
Announcing that they had refused
the proposal of the Director General,
the Committee of 100 representing
the shopmen made public a letter
sent to the various locals calling for
strike vote. The committee was
in session several hours to-day, de-
bate becoming bitter at times, 1t
was said, the more radical of the
members demanding a strike to
compel more money. In the letter,
however, was seen Il suggestion that
some of the committee were inclined
to give the Government a chance
to make good in the campaign
against high prices.

Constables Balk at
Law Requiring Returns

Gettysburg, Pa, Aug. 27.-Con-
stables of the county were given a
surprise when they appeared at the
regular August term of court here
to make returns. Judge McPher-
son warned them tina. hereafter they
n: ust make returns to court or their
pay would not be Forthcoming. This
is in accordance with the new Act
of Assembly. Most of the constables
were unaware such a law had been
passed, and most of them were APP
parently puzzled when the court eX-
planned the law to them.
On the outside many of them were
outspoken in their opinions, some of
them going SO far as to say that
hereafter they would not attend
court and in future years some one
else could have the job if they
wanted it.

Revising John Howard Payne

What lot Of foolish sehtlmentaism
the world would have been spared had
John Howard Payne come under the
cmhncipnting influence Of Lonine and
Trotzky, as reflected before the over
man committee by John Reed. He never
would have written those verses about
"Bc 1t ever so humble"
Home Is supernuous institution, ac-
cording to Mr.. Reed Bolshevism has no
patience with tender memories of
"The little window where the sun
Came pecping in at morn
No one would sing "How dear to my
heart are the scenes Of my CHILDHOOD"
for there would be 10 loved spots for
infancy to know Mr.. Reed pointed out
that nobody would have an opportunity
to become attached anywhere, for as
soon as a man became too old to work
his land would be taken away from him.
"What does an old man want with a lot
of land to live on?" he triumphantly
asked.
That meant, his questioner argued,
that there could be no such thing as
permanent home.
"What is the difference?" said Reed
And, with women "nationalized" ac-
cording to the Bolshevist plan and all
children reared by the state in asylums,
what would be the difference?

celebrity and unanimity which would
have impressed the world has been lost.
AS it is, decisions are being reached
too late to check the discomfort and
disorder. Evidences of friction and wide
disagreement within the conference
have encouraged the enemy powers to
try to evade the consequences of defeat.
The conference is also losing confidence
in its ability to do it's work. What should
be peace Of victory is assuming more
and more the aspect of "peace with
out victory"
The representatives of the Allied gov
ernments need to keep in mind the par
allel between the unfortunate condition
of military disunity which so long post
poned Allied success and the condition Of
political disunity which has prevailed at
Paris since January last. When they
abandoned military particularsm they
won the war. When they are willing to
pool issues and work together without
contentiousness and pride Of opinion
they can make q peace which will seal
victory and restore order in the world

seen in Russia. An agricultural country,
rich in food potentialities, beholds it's
fields uncultivated and millions on the
verge Of famine while the land lies idle.
Cities have been dopopulated and fac
tories are silent. Lenine nov begs the
bourgeosie to return and appeals to
America to furnish technicians and ex-
perts. The creature thus still fails
to see that technician is of little value
unless he is spurred on oy the knowledge
that he will get for himself no small per-
centage Of the value his genius creates.
He prefers to function in lands where he
gets his full hire.
After eighteen months of experiment it
is possible to give as sure judgment con-
corning Bolshevism as a system as con-
corning the conduct Of Bolshevists. The
system does not work. Its significant
fruits are not so much the misery Of the
educated and the skilful as general
mass misery. If Hungary tries the plan
results similar to those in Russia are pre-
dictable. IF Germany adopts it the Ger
mans WIN oulei' us species Oh SUICIDE,

ignorant enough not to perceive the CON
sequences cannot easily be reached by
any outside advice or influence. The af-
fected countries, If cured at all. must in
the end be eelf-cured -sclf-curcd by what
they cofu in the school Of bitter OK.
pc'ience To say this may eeem harsh
and unsympathetic, but there are times
when the truth cannot escape this aspect.
Not by feeding Boisl evists will they be
persuaded Of the error of their ways. In
deed, If fed they are likely to think it is
fine to have other persons work for
them and be further confused by artful
leaders.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-31
The High Cost of Disunitv

A large part CT the delay and cropping
at Paris is due TO disunity and particu-
larism similar to that which marred the
conduct of the war.
The greatest blunder OF Allied mill
tary policy was its long continued fail
ure to achieve unity of command.
Things went i'll until political and mill
tary leaders corrected the great folly.
Lloyd George said at Paris after the
Caporetto disaster:
1t Is true that wc sent troops to
Saionica TO succor Serbia but, as always.
sney were sent too late. Half the men
wno ieii Ia the vain effort to pierce the
western front in September of that same
year would have saved Serbia saved the
balkans and completed the blockade of
u'iMahy. 1915 was the year Of
the Rumanian tragedy, which was q rene
'ieioh Of tho Serbian story almost with
Vat cnange. The war has hcen
prolonged by particnlarism. It will bo
shortened by solidarity
Solidarity didn't come after Caporetto
however. 1t was not attained until
after the British disaster west of 81
quentin. After 1t was attained the war
was quickly brought to an end.
Wnen 1t came to making peace the
Ailie( s~yernments forgot the Iesaora
OF the war. The enemy was given
another chance to fight them singly. He
seized it, Of course. Statesmen and peo.
pies have yielded to one Of the most
transparent devices Of discounted wick
cdness. They have permitted the devil
10 quote Scripture to them. So the
opportunity to impose just peace with
