TRY TO INTIMIDATE CENSORS?
That's Charge Made by Mrs. j. NJ. Mill
Ter Against Movie Men.

Attempted intimidation of the Kan
Eas state board of review and a. con-
linued policy of certain representa-
lives of the motion picture industry to
break down state censorship are
charged by Mrs. ]. NJ. Miller. chairman
bf the state board of review.
Mrs. Miller states that certain
charges were filed against the board
by these motion picture men because
they realized there would be "a change
in the personnel of. the board shortly
and hoped by this means to create a
sentiment that would force new mem
bers to be more liberal in their views.
IF the censorship board were to
shut it's eyes to all the filth and slime
it is compelled to look at upon the
this time" said Mrs. Miller. ION the
other hand, if the people of Kansas
realized how much of this kind of stuff
is eliminated from the pictures they
would rise up as one individual to
combat the efforts of the enemies of
censorship TO create strife and dis
cord and bring censorship into disre-
pute.
There is constantly growing de-
mand on the part of the better class
of the people of the state for cleaner
and more wholesome films. The board
of review, in its efforts to meet this
desire. has the cooperation of many
exhibitors and some representative of
film exchanges. who share with it the
conviction that too many pictures con-
tribute largely to immortality and that
the large number of crook pictures
now being released. which show the
methods in detail of hold-up men and
bank robbers. are educational in that
class of crime. The board is united
and earnest in its efforts to give to the
people of Kansas a clean, desirable
class of pictures. while striving at the
same time not to injure the film in
dustEy."

Traif 10 the Fore

Even though conditions of one kind
and other seem altogether against
foreign woolens swapping this mar
ket at prices considerably under trose
asked for domestic goods, the subject
of tariff revision is once more cropp-
ing up in the conversation of mill men
after being absent from discussion
since the war. The feeling among
proponents of higher tariff is that
an increase in rates is bound to come
with change in the administration.
The favorite argument is still to
point to the lack Of mill dividends or
their smallness before the war. In
fact, it is the expressed conviction of
most mill factors that the war tlone
saved the industry for bankruptcy.
One mill representative freely adj
mitted that, after it's taste of real
dividends would be very loath indeed
to return to pre-war zone and two per
cents. New York Times,

Who Lack Vitality

If your body is sound and your
blood is rich and red, your acts and
thoughts will be quick and strong.
Let your blood get weak, and your
food won't nourish you nor your sleep
refreash you.
Too much hard work, an illness or
mental stain can thin your blood,
and Pepto- Mangan is needed to bring
it back to healthy, normal condition.
Knowing this, doctors for years have
recommended Guides Pepto- Mangan
because of it's blood building and ton
ic properties.
Pepto-Mangan is such simple and
harmless tonic, yet such a prompt
builder of red blood, that it's reputa-
ton has spread all over the country.
Today every druggist sells it and
thousands of men and women use it
as restorative whenever they or
their children seem to feel below par.
Pepto- Mangan agrees with the
delicate somach, and is obtainable in
either liquid or tablet form.
Be sure the name "Gude's is on the
package when you buy Pepto-Man-
an. Ask the druggist for Guides"

FUTURE EXISTENCE, AT ANN
UAL COST OF 1925. 100000.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, June End.
Official figures concerning the num-
Der of disabled service men in the
United States and the cost of reed
ucating and maintaining these indiv-
iduals show that this country must
pay one third to half a billion dol
lars annually if its debt to its incap-
acitated heros is to be discharged hon
orably. Preferential treatment of
disabled veterans would cost almost a
quarter of the proposed $4,000 000,-
600 bonus. Uel w. Lamkin, chief of
the Division of Rehabilitation of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton, testifying on May before the
House Comittee on Education, stated
that the period between July, 1919,
and of end of March 1920, has spent
directly in behalf Of the disabled men
about $15,000,00. Since the Board
has been handling only 10000 mon
within that period, the average cost
per man for nine months has been
$500.
w. G. Rucker, who has been chief
medical advisor of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, in statement which
has only just become available for
publicantion, reports that 641,900
men were discharged from the Army
and Navy disabilities. To handle
these men along the lines started by
the Vocational Board would cost not
less than 1925, 100000 year. Since
the $500 covers only three-quarters
OF year, and the training instituted
in the period mentioned has only
been preliminary, much larger sum
per capita per annum would have to
