LOOK TO YOUR BLOOD


So many people spend week af-
ter week feling down and out.
They never stop to think that
something really is the matter.
They satisfy themselves bysaying,
."Oh, I'm not sick. I'll be all right
tomorrow
And tomorrow comes again and
again. Still they feel depressed
and languid, scarcely able to get
around.
i If you don't feel like yourself,
you are not yourself. | fyou are
weak and pale, your blood needs
strengthening. You should know
about Pepto-Mangan, that famous
blood tonic. Physicians recon-
mend it and prescribe it because
it contains just the ingredients
needed to make red blood. It re-
news your energy, puts you where
you ought to be. Begin with It
today. Get the tablets if they
will be more convenient to take
than the liquid. Both have the
same medicinal properties. But
be sure you get the genuine Pep
to- -Mangan. Ask for Guides" and
be sure that the full name

Effort Being Made Within Both
Parties to Narrow Down Field Of

NEW YORK, May 22.-Politica1
maneuvering is going on within the
two major parties with increasing
rapdity in an effort to narrow the
field of presidential candidates as
much as possible before the national
conventions.
Almost every day reports are cir
culated of some new trade" or com
bination" attempted by various lead
ers.
Owing to the fact sentiment has not
yet crystalized sufficiently to make
two or even three candidates in each
party stand out to the extent of over
shadowing all rivals and the practical
politicians have the biggest task in
this direction they have faced in re
cent years.
Indications are becoming stronger
that the majority of party leaders
have begun to rally about a particular
candidate in each party, but indica-
tions are just as strong that these
leaders are experiencing the greatest
difficulty in convincing the rank and
file that their selections will insure
victory in the fall elections.
According to the best available in
formation, Governor Frank O. Low
den. of Illinois, has, at present, the
strongest backing among the republi-
can "regulars." There is Said to be
an analogous situation among the
democrats regarding Governor James
M. Cox, of Ohio.
