New York. Jan. 9i.-Agents OF the

ting seditious activities have discov-
cred that Young Peoples SOCIALIST

been formed in all the important cat
les of New York State. says Deputy
Attorney General Berger In Roches-
Ter and some upstate centers, he de-
,lared. Junior Leagues have been or
zanized 10 sow the Communist seed
among children.
THE committees investigators
have discovered in Rochester ana
some other important centers up
state that the Young Peoples Social
st League, an off-shoot of the So
eialist Party of America and COM
monty called 'Ypsels.' has aligned it
self with the Communists and is de-
voting its time and attention 10
spreading the principles OF Commu-
nism," Mr.. Berger said.
THE investigators have discovered
that the 'Ypsels' have former Junior
.eagues of girls and boys between II

Of Communism There is evidence TO
indicate that a large part Of this in
struction is given in schools con-
lucted on Sundays. some OF which
are called Sunday Schools
Those whose memory extends back
further than a day will recall that
during the war the 'Ypsels' were
quite prolific in teaching and encour-

Pepto-M angan 0vercomes Anemia
and Tends to Prevent Headaches

When one has an occasional head
ache it is usually due to some transit

When, however, one suffers from fire.
quent periodic headaches there is al
ways some special reason for it.
Among the most common OF such rea-
sons is Anemia or Bloodlessness.
This condition is especially frequent
among girls and young women and
those whose occupations or habits of
life keep them too much indoors. The
one important necessity in such cases
s TO build up the quantity and quail
~ of the weak and watery blood.
GUIDES Pepto- Mangan is exceptional
" valuable for this purpose. 1t in

quanty OF the red Dlod cells, those
vital little bodies which carry nutri-
ton to all parts of the body. It i'm

the face and restores health and
strength to the body generally. After
a short course of Pepto- Mangan the
headaches decrease in frequency and
severity and finally disappear, if they
are due to Anemia. Pepto- Mangan

JOHN URI LLOYD GIVES
PRAISE TO TRANSATLANTIC

Prof. John Uri Lloyd, author of
"Stringtown on the Pike" in writing
of Pennsylvania College at Lexing-
ton, says:
Pennsylvania is dear to me also
because of the many distinguished
men of the South who were educated
there, and especially from the fact
that the great naturalist, Rafinesque,
to whom I frequently refer in my
writings, was professor in Transyl-
vania and closely observed the flora
of your entire region. I often have
occasion to quote from this distin-
guished man of century ago."

COLD STORAGE PIRATES

Every thinking person knows that
cold storage warehouses are a mod
ern necessity in order to insure a
proper distribution of food and pre-
vent enormous wastage from decay.
But well informed people also
know that such is not the principal
use to which they are now being
placed.
They are the means by which food
pirates rob and plumber the people.
Stores are cornered on the market,
hid away in the cold storage ware
houses, and allowed to remain there
until fictitious price has been Gre
ated by an apparent shortage. Then
they are dribbled out and enormous
nrnfits are made therefrcr... --
Things run along smoothly for the
pirates in this manner, until some en-
terprising newspaper noses out the
facts and begins to stir up the ma
tives. Then some public official
comes to life, let's out few terrify-
ing roars at nothing, and goes home
and takes stiff drink-if he can
find it.
He has performed his sacred duty
to the goats who elected him. He
roared and roar makes a big noise
Prosecute the pirates? Piffle
They are prominent people, and have
money-also votes.
Often food is kept in cold storage
until it is rotten and then it is sent
out for people to eat and spread dis
ease.
In their frantic efforts to boost
pricess eggs are held in storage until
they rattle in their shells like dry
bones, and apparently the longer they
remain the higher is the price when
they do break bounds.
We Americans have a queer way
of doing things in the present day of
enlightenment.
If poor devil steals.a slab Of ba-
con to feed his hungry family we
call him thief and send him to rot
in jail.
But when food pirates milk the
public of millions by their criminal
manipulation Of the cold storage
warehouses we envy them in their
greatness and leave them to keep
right on plundering.
In other words, we curb the little
thief and give the Rag one a free
rein.
Some of the large cities Of this
country are rotten to their cores, and
If the cores were required to stand
alone they would collapse of their
own decay. For it is in the cities that
this wholesale piracy and plundering
of the people finds its inception and
protection.
Some of the county districts may
not be exactly sprouting wings, but
the systematic robbery which is de-
bauching the country does not flour
ish where every man knows his neigh
Dor.
The public has reached the poiat
where it is beginning to demand that
Congress take adequate measures to-
relieve the situation--and, failing

NUMBER ALL ENGLISH ROADS
Properly Organized and Uniform sys.
tenn Of sign Posting to Be Used
In Great Britain,

The national road scheme will be
ready by the autumn.
. The scheme consists Of the classifi-
cation of all, main and secondary
roads in Great Britain, together with
properly organized and uniform sys-
TEN of sign posting. Roads will bear
distinctive numbers, so that the trav-
eler need only ascertain the official
number Of tha road, say, from Nor
wich to Birmingham, to be able to
travel from zone town to the other
without map.
The experiments conducted under,in
structions Of the ministry of transport
to- determine the most suitable mate
rial for uniform road dressing, have
been successful, and a standard sur
face has been practically selected. For
the present this surface will be ap-
piled only to the arterial. and not to
the Secondary roads.
BY January the new national road
scheme will be in readiness to be put
into immediate operation.-Daily Mail
