Rich, Red Blood Is Essential to
 Your Well-Being.

You can not overestimate the inn portance of keeping the blood free of impurities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body in the blood will cause serious com plications.
 Any slight disorder or impurities is a source of danger. as every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood suply to properly perform it's functions.

Has the war, after all. been fought in

Germany is revived the hope OF the

hold has Turkey on the chancelleries

be that England's fear for India is be-

Dorothy Dix Talks
BIT DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Checr-O-1.


A philanthropic Massachusetts,
woman-may her tribe increase-has
organized a society which she calls
the Merry-Go- Founders which pro-
poses to promote happiness and gen.
eraI welfare by the simple means of
pledging oneself to talk health instead
of sickness; prosperity instead of fail
ure; to carry good news instead of
bad news; to recount ones blessings
instead of ones Affections, and to
boost instead of kick.
It is specifically explained that the
club is not a movement against the
recognition of sickness, poverty and
sorrow, but an effort to induce people
to look on the bright side Of life in
stead of the dark side.
More power to this organization, and
may its membership include every
man, woman and child, for if there is
any one single thing that would do
more than anything else to make life
worth living it would be to stop the
cease1ess flow of whines and COM
plants and tears in which the most of
our acquaintance drench us. and
which we in turn pass on, with our
own woes superimposed on it, to the
next victim.
Did you ever stop to think that most
conversation is nothing but a swap
ping of troubles? When you meet
your friends they tell you of every
single solitary thing that has gone
aniss with them, and you listen with
baited breath waiting for a pause in
the talk so you can break in with the
litany of your own woes. And when
you part you both go your ways feel
ing that this is a. rotten old world, and
everything in it is askew.
Why do you do it? Why do they do
it? Nobody knows. It's nothing but
a bad habit. It's a morbid custom that
we have fallen into of shrieking aloud
our misfortunes thru megaphone
while we put the soft pedal on our
blessings.
AS a matter of fact our troubles are
neither half so great as We pretend
they are, nor are we as much afflicted
by them as we declare ourselves to be.
Our attitude of being a Jonah is all a
pose, and we would be angry If any
body really believed that we were the
chronic victims of i'll luck.
We simply like to talk in a mel
ancholy strain and we do it without
realizing how depressing we are to all
of those with whom we come in con-
are. laying the burden of our own
troubles on the shoulders Of other
people, who, perhaps. have already all
they can bear, and that when we add
our gloom to theirs we may be putting
out the last flicker of hope in some
dark soul.

UNREST AND ITS CAUSES.

Discussing the underlying causes of
the present confused business outlook.
the Mechanics & Metals National
bank of New York says:
production in the United States,
as well as elsewhere, is below what
is necessary to supply the needs and
comforts and promote the prosperity
of civilized people. In Europe the
devastation and prostration due to the
war were partly responsible. Here the
reduced hours of labor that have fol-
lowed the long series of strikes, COM
bined with a notably lessened effort to
work, are responsible. With the needs
of reconstruction so real and pressing,
the proposition has become inescap-
able that the attitude so generally
prevailing toward work. and produce
ton must undergo a sharp change in
the present year unless disorganization
is to loom ahead"
Apparently prosperous, because of
high wages and high prices, the bust
ness of the United States is being
conducted in a fashion that cannot
possibly continue for any considerable
length of time. Lasting prosperity
consists not of producing less than is
consumed, as we are now doing; it
consists of producing more than is
consumed.
1t may be that the remedy for our
present condition is not so far away,
says the bank, for there are signs that
the root of the evil of curtaled out
put and neglected effort is not so
deep as had been feared, and that the
evil Is in the way Of being corrected.
American labor, upon which with
American capital. our future indus
trial expansion and progress must de-
pend, is manifesting that it is not the
heart of the average workman that is
responsible for all>that we see and have
been seeing since the armistice, but
that it is the collective mind of labor,
temporarily turned by the "ecstacy
of great profits" that came out of the
war, that has been distorted by all that
has gone on since.
Workmen after all are human, and
during the war many heads were
turned by the praise and excessive
wages lavished in order to obtain
peak" production Following the
war came the propaganda of the Fos-
ters, Fitzpatricks, Berkmans and
Goldmans. ALI designed to irritate
minds, blind visions. and arouse a class
consciousness thruout the country that
would have been impossible in normal
circumstances.
But radicalism in the open is not
nearly so bad as radicalism secretly
and insidiously spread. Instead of
poisoning the genius of the American
people it challenges their fair-minded
good sense. and altho the clearing
away of the many present misupder-
standings may require time, we can
look forward to settling our troubles
in due course, in a way that will give
American employers law and order
land American workers justice and en-
larged opportunity.
