How To Keep Young
As You Grow Older

As You Grow Older
It Is possible to have a hale,
hearty old age. The body in youth
possesses more heat than the body
of middle age or old age, because
the blood contains more oxygen.
It Is possible for middle aged and
older men and women to increase
the oxygen carrying capacity OF
their blOod-not by pumping oxy-
gen into the lungs, but by supplying
the blood with the organic iron
which attracts oxygen just as the
magnet attracts steel.
Two warning forces-the red
blood cells and the white blood
cells are always contending In tho
blood. They are the processes OF
building up, and tearing down.
During youth the hot, red blood,
vitalized with oxygen, enables the
building up process to overcome
the tearing down process, and the
tendency Of the body Is all toward
growth and development.
AS middle age approaches, the
two forces tend to equalize each
other, and the body retains It's
Sigor and vitality.
But, with the coming Of old age,
the victory of the tearing down
process Is manifested by the slow,
gradual decay of the vital energies.
The stress Of modern life makes
us old at fifty, decrepit at sixty,
and useless, helpless wrecks before
we pass our SEVENTEEN year.
There Is absolutely no necessity
for this premature senility, this
surrender of strength and vitality,
this abandonment Of the pleasures
and responsibilities Of life. The
bodily forces and energy can be
maintained, the arterial degenera-
ton prevented, and a hearty,
healthy, old age assured.
REOLO supplies to the cells of
the body the organic iron-which Is
easily assimilated by the blood
and attracts oxygen Just as the
magnet attracts steel. Il enrfches
the blood with cell-salts and vital
kes it with life-giving oxygen in
;reases the circulation, and by its
power of cell nutrition and recon-
Etruction-its tonic and stimulating
qualities makes the entire body
glow with health.

NDREW JOHNsON's presidenc

4 NDREW JOHNSON'S > presidency
L A began with a great tragedy ana
came near ending in another. With
a two-thirds majority in congress, his
opponents overrode his vetoes, seized
control of reconstruction, stripped the
president of authority to dismiss q
postmaster or to get rid of an enemy
even in his own cabinet, and bound
him hand and foot.
Although the president faithfully eX-
ecuted the reconstruction laws that
had been passed over his vetoes, he
asserted the right, which never before
had been denied president, to choose
his own cabinet advisers. When he
tried to dismiss Secretary Stanton,
Stanton turned the war department in
to fort, and for weeks held it, night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.
Emotion having supplanted reason,
the house fastened to declare that in
the name of the house of representa-
tives and of the people of the United
States we do impeach Andrew john
son, president of the United States,
of high crimes and miSdemeanors.'
Although there were twelve counts IN
the remarkable Indictment, no crimes
we're specified and the misdemeanors
that were alleged, consisted almost
wholly Of the presidents attempts to
remove Stanton without the consent of
the senate.
This most important trial in Ameri-
can history began on March 5, 1868,
with the senate chamber crowded and
Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme
court In the chair.
There was a general expectation
| that the senate would convict, no mat
ter how fllmsy the case, and crowds
of eager phrtisans flocked to Washing

House eviction--to see ANDY walk the

"Not guilty" answered the distin-

alignment was broken and it was again
broken in another moment by Senator
Grimes of Iowa, who had been stricken
with paralysis under the strain of the
trial, but who managed to struggle to
his feet when his name was called.
Trumbull of Illinois, an old friend Of
Lincoln, was another man of ability
and distinction among the seven Re-

PLY, vengeance for a. great war was
not wreaked on any individual.
The radicals, who had secretly re-
joiced in Johnson's accession, turned
upon him furiously. 1t was easy for
them to excite the doubt of the north
in this southerner, and to estrange
the Republicans from this Democrat.
For the first time even the sobriety
of q president was called into ques-
tion. Johnson's unfortunate condition
at his Inauguration as vice president
had shocked Charles Sumner into
starting a whispered discussion of his
enforced resignation. When he be-
came president his intemperance in
speech lent color to exaggerated re-
ports of his intemperance in drink.
For two years before Lincoln died,
the radical leaders had been insisting
that congress, not the president, should
fix the terms of peace for the south
ern states. They had angrily de-
nounced him as a despot, an autocrat
and a usurper. because of his policy
Of reconstruction. And congress had
persistently refused to admit the SEN
ators and representatives from the
states which he had reconstructed on
his liberal plan.
Apart from the Republican politi-
clans and a mere faction of eXtrem-
lists, the north was in favor of Lin
coins moderate policies. But when
it became a question between Johnson
and the radicals, the radicals won over
whelmingly in the congressional cleo
tion of 1866.
With a two-thirds majority in the
rev house and senate the Republicans
overrode the presidents vetoes, ana
congress took command OF the govern
ment. The reconstructed states were
Cutlawed. The south was divided INTO
military provinces. The ballot was
thrust into the unskillful hand or the

EATONIC Users S
Do This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the Z. S. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for q
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
4 Eatonic users know that it stops
'Belching. Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If YOU have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
Iarly for a time and obtain all Of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
