Pepto-Mangan Creates Rich,
Red Blood, Changes Pale
Complexions To Bloom Of
Health

A serious illness, even a cold that
is hard to shake off, can reduce the
blood to a weak, watery condition
which keeps the normal strength and
vigor from coming back.
This poor physical condition brings
on helpless, discouraged mental con-
dition which rich, red blood can
restore.
Pure blood should be rich in iron
which Nature supplies to some ex-
tent in food But often through
faulty digestion or improper diet you
don't get the needed iron, and your
blood, on which your health depends,
grows weaker and weaker.
Guides Pepto-Mangan enriches the
blood, increases the red blood cells
and supplies the ingredients that
bring a quick response in vigor, vi
tality and fine color.

THE HONOR SYSTEM"
COMING; ALL-STAR CAST

''The Honor SYSTEM the film
drama which William Fox is to pro-
duce at the Opera House Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week with an
all-star cast, is described as a tri-
umph in photoplay production.
When Mr. Fox set out to produce
The Honor System" which is
melodrama pure and simple, his OBJ
ject was not to attempt the ultimate
of the cinema, but to give to the mo-
ton picture public great and most
gripping human drama.
The story is laid in the mining
town of Howling Dog, in Arizona
near the Mexican border In taking
these scenes R. A. Walsh proved him
self a director-genius. He has pic
tured foray in all its thrilling inter-
est. The spectator can see the hordes
of Villa swooping down on Howling
Dog, the hasty organization of the
terrified citizens for defense, the
daring ride of the hero for assis-
tance, the wild dash of the U. S.
regulars to the rescue, and the utter
rout of the bandits.
The all-star contains the names of
Gladys Brockwell, Miriam Cooper,
Milton Sills, George Walsh, Charles
Clary and others.

That is to say, the German plane
appeared to be in perfectly safe
condition. 1t had carried Wolfe
all the way from Dallas. in record
time, and it had stood up under
his stunting, just before Blackler
tried his hand.
"Blackler's last stunt was bar
rel roll at $500 feet" the latter
went on. Something went wrong
He fought the plane to right it
for 800 feet on a downward
plunge. At 900 feet the wings
left the fuselage, and it shot
straight downward into a pond"
The laymen should know that
world of nerve and real courage
is wrapped up that inconspicuous
phrase by fellow-airman, "He
fought the plane for 1900 feet,
until the wings came off 1t

than to say commander fought

rushed over it. 1t means that

pied and out Of hand, that wonder
full little flier, never losing his
head, used every resource of his
skill and experience to the limit,
fighting to right plane that had
gone hopelessly bad.
And | know that Perry Blackler
at the last turned as stady front
on fate as he did in the long drop
of the tail-spin in which he took
me down ever Gambler Field, smil-
ing backward over his shoulder as
he came out of it easily, 500 feet
from the ground.
Perry Blackler played the game
to the limit. His service record
showed that at Souther Field he
taught more than thirty students
to fly, without a serious accident.
Discharged October 80, 1919, he
taught more than thirty students

Lawrence Churchill was married
at Rome, Ca, last January, Lieu
tenant Blackler was his best man.
And he played the game to the
limit. From the day of his enlist
ment; through his term of regular
service; as a reserve pilot, flying
because he loved the game, Perry
Blackler played straight through
to the end; and end due to no
fault or weakness of his own, but
to treacherous plane with hid

Perry Blackler left clear white
record and many friends to mourn
him. Better epitaphs are hard to

Clear White Record Is
Blackler's Epitaph, Says
Keeler In Fine Tribute

A fine tribute to the memory Of
Perry W. Blackler, former Souther
Field officer and flying instructor,
who fell to his death few days ago,
is paid by o. B. Keeler, an Atlanta
newspaper writer. Mr.. Keeler, one
of the most gifted writers IN the

Field one day last summer and spent
q wonderful two or three days here

which was the aerial circus day. one

From After Effects of Influenza.
HAD BEEN UNABLE
TO WORK FOR YEARS
Il Just Can't Praise Tanlac Too
Highly For What 1t Has Done
For Me-" He Says.

Il have been benefited even beyond
my belief and l think it is time for
me to talk for the benefit of others, "
SAID 1. A. Snipes, 7th avenue and
24th street, Ybor City, Fla, who
called at the Economical Drug Store
IN Tampa to relate his remarkable
experience with Tanlac a few days
ago.
Mr.. Snipes states that at the time
ne began taking Tanlac he was suf-
fering from the after effects of infiu-
enza and had not been able to do
any work for nearly two years. He
was formerly a travelling salesman
and is well known throughout the
state.
He declares that Tanlac, aside
from restoring his health, has put
him in shape to where he has actually
gained thirty-four pounds in two
months time. Mr.. Snipes contem-
plates going into business in Ybor
City at an early date. Following is
h his complete statement regarding
Tanlac:
I'm October, 1918, I was taken
down with influenza, rushed to a
hospital, and for few days my con-
dltlon was critical. In fact, nv
chance of recovery seemed to be
very slim and it took five months of
good nursing to get me in shape to
return to my home. I was left with
a badly disordered liver and kidneys,

Baby's Food.

The high mortality of infants Zone
out of three) is due very largely to
the fact that the baby cannot select
its own food, as does the adult, but
must take what is given it. Often the
food is inferior in quality. or even
positively poisonius.
How can the mother tell whether
the baby's food is right?
One way is to watch the actions.
If they are regular and natural and
the baby is gaining in weight, the
food is all right. Constipation and
diarrhoea both indicate Indigestion
and should have immediate atten-
ton.
To correct indigestion and regu-
late the stomach and bowels the baby
specialists have perfected a gentle
laxative and regulator called "Baby
Ease" laxative. which the mother
may obtain, with full directions, at
any drug store. "Baby Ease" is an
invaluable aid to the baby's health,
and no mother should be without it
for emergencies.
Do not use the strong and irritat-
ing laxatives such as are commonly
used. nor anything containing opiates
or powerful drugs. They irritate the
delicate organs and lead to chronic
indigestion and constipation. "Baby
Ease" laxative is a corrective and
regulator as well as gentle laxa-
tive, and will promptly and perma-
nently correct indigestion, collie,
diarrhoea and constipation The
mother should then look carefully
to the purity, freshness and whole
someness of the baby's food the
cleanliness of the bottles, etc, and
should consult the physician if the
, child does not steadily gain in weight

DOCTORS FAVOR
new TASTELESS
CASTOR OIL
New Process Makes Castor Oil
Absolutely Tasteless

Doctors have always prescribed cas-
tor oil when real laxative is need
ed, and all mothers know how much
trouble it is to get children to take
it. There need be no more trouble,
for doctors are now recommending
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil, from
which absolutely all nauseating taste
has been removed. Children take it
readily They need not even know
it is castor OIL This splendid new
form of good old family remedy is the
result of a remarkable process per-
fected by the chemists of Spencer
Kellogg & Sons, Inc. In strength and
purity Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil
is exactly the same as the old fash
ioned disagreeable kind. Nothing has
been removed but the taste. Do not
accept substitutes if you want real
ly tasteless castor oil. At all good
druggists. Two sizes, 35c and CSC.

PROBLEM OF GOOD H
Becoming One Of Increasing Impor-
lance Because Of Changes In
Methods Of Travel.

The road problem Of the country Is
becoming one Of ever-increasing impor-
lance, largely because Of the changes
In methods of travel which enable the
city man to reach farther and farther
into the country district. He does
this first from a business or economic
standpoint. and, second, from a pleas
ure-seeking standpoint. In IN exactly
similar manner, the farmer is getting
fully aroused to the importance OF
better and better roads. They enable
him to get to the city markets with
his produce, whether that produce
may be something requiring frequent
trips. such as milk to a creamery, gar
den truck TO market, or staple prod
ucts to be hauled In their proper sea-
son. The better the roads, the cheap
er he can haul his produce and the
quicker he can do 50. resulting in a
of time. and the better choice
has of market conditions.

Food Smuggling In Germany.

Illicit trade in food. with its attend

on the increase throughout Germany.
according to newspaper accounts.
The %rationing system has never
been abandoned even In the occupied
areas of the Rhineland, and some OF
the newspapers contend that the aver
age individual can not subsist on the
noun Of food issued. The authori-
ties are making every effort to check
the Illegal traffic in foods of all kinds,
and the courts are crowded day after
day.
Smuggling Of potatoes is being car
ried on this winter in all parts of Ger
many on a scale greater than in war
time. Germany produced an excel
lent potato crop this year. and the III

falling into the hands of the specula-
tors.

fine material for a binder, and con-
tinue the rolling until the stones cease
to sink and creep in front of the
roller.
8. Spread the second course and roll
1t with the addition of binder and
water until the whole surface is hard
and smooth, carefully filling with
stone any depressions that may ap-
pear; then finish the whole with a
course of three-quarter-inch stone and
screenings. This must be soaked with
water and rolled until the surface Is
full to m the rolling at the
sides and gradually work toward the
center; by so doing the crown Of the
road will be preserved. If this work
is well and thoroughly done the result
will be a road that Is smooth, hard and
convenient for travel at all seasons OF
the year. Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectiOn
of a macadam road. with layers OF
stone cOmpacted in place.
For a farming community the width
of macadam need not he greater than
10 or II feet. The width of stone sur
face should be sufficient to take care
of all the travel on the road; but on
the other hand ii should not be so
great as to require unnecessary ex-
pense in the construction or main
of the road.
When water has to be conveyed
from one side Of n road to the other It
should be taken under the road by
means of a c~ulvert. A stone culvert
Is. OF course. the best, but a vitrified
tile pipe or II corrugated metal culvert
may be used.
Lastly, give the road a good coat Of
suitable road oil to prevent dust and
much damage to automobiles.

BEST FOR MARKETING CROPS
When Prices Are Highest ~ High
ways Are Improved.

Good roads give a wider choice of
time for marketing crops. If roads
were kept in condition to permit travel
and hauling at all times and in all
kinds Of weather. farmers would not
have TO rush their produce to market
in reasons Of good roads. but could haul
II when prices were highest and when
their crops did not demand attention.
