and do nothing. You look tired and
pale and haggard. You get careless
about your dress.

clogged up with poison. Your power
of resistance is at low ebb. Your
blood needs food. 1t needs the help
that the vitalizing tonic, Pepto-Man-
gan, will give it. Instead of feeling
exhausted and tired out for months,
you will soon pick right up and feel
we'll and strong again. And with
good red blood you are able to fight
off ailments.

pared in both liquid and tablet form,

WILSON STARTS
ON HIS MESSAGE
Expected To Recon-
mend Anew Meas
ures Urged Before

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Presi-
dent Wilson has oegun work on his
annual message to congress which
will be transmitted either the OPEN
ing day of the next session Deem
Der 6, or the day following.
White House officials said today
they had no information on what
recommendations the president plans
to make, but administration officers
expect among other things that ne
will urge enactment Of number of
reconstruction measures which he
recommended at the first session of
the present congr IS last year.
This week 1he president will re-
ceive three Latin-American dlplo-
mats who have arrived in Washing
ton in the last few weeks, the new
ministers of San Domingo, Guate-
mala and Costa Rica.
Estimates upon which congress
will make appropriations for the tlfst
fiscal year of the Republican admin
istration are now being prepared by
the various government departments
under direction of Democratic cab
met officers and in accord with the
policies of the wilson administration.
The estimates will be. submitted to
congress at the opening session De
cember 6.
Since The Republicans have ma
iority in both the senate and house,
sharp changes are expected to be
made in the most of the estimates.
The present political situation, with
regard to annual appropriations is
similar to that which obtained eight
years ago after the first election OF
President Wilson, but the economic
situation of the country is vastly diff
ferent. At that time the Republi-
cans were in control of the executive
branches of the government under
Taft, but the Democrats had a ma
iority in both the house and senate
