Primitive 5 raveIinQ.

The "estapciero," or ranchman, Of
Argentina, is well satisfied with the
,eavy native "chata," cart with t@o
sig wheels, much like the bullock carts
If Asia, and to meet "chata," with
10 horses drawing its load of grain to
he railway, is picturesque incident
If country iourneying. Horses are
cheap and plentiful; the "peon" who
lrives them lives on the ranch, his
services cost little, and the two
wheeled "chata," when it sticks in
he mud, is reasonably easy to extri-
.ate by turning it round before pull
ng it out. The process scoops the
mud and makes roughly circular hole
n the road something like the crater
If very small volcano, but the
'chatn" is ont and on its WAY again.

Tired All The Time
No Appetite
And Color Is Bad, Too Mudd,
and BlOtched. Know What
the Trouble Is?
1t Is Probably Your Blood
The Blood Is Often Sluggish in
the Spring and Needs Puri-
fying-PeptO-Mangan
Will Help.

The blood is life itself, and when
your blood gets out of order, nothing
seems right! You are blue, discourag-
ed and out-of-sorts. Food loses its
taste, and sleep does not seem to re-
fresh you. You don't want to work,
and cannot have good time.
Then you say to yourself, whats
the matter with me, anyway" May
be you think of your blood, and maybe
you don't.
Spring is here. And spring, more
than any other season, is the time peo-
pie suffer most from blood disorders.
Sometimes it is just Spring Fever
but conscientious, Woodworking folks
really suffer from Spring Fever.
They drive themselves, and worry
and fret-but get little done. Neither
body nor mind will function properly
till the blood has purged itself of the
winter accumulation of poisons-till il
ceases to be sluggish-till it has re.
gained its color and strength.
Years ago people took sulphur and
molasses in the spring to help theil
blood. But nowadays, instead, they
take Pepto-Mangan. nice-tasting
agreeable and quickly effective bloot
tonic. Pepto-Mangan is approved by
physicians everywhere. 1t has helped
thousands of rundown, listless people
get back their old-timc vigor and en-
thusiasm.
Everyone in your family should TAX
good blood purifier and builder thi
spring. Get Pepto-Mangan today
Your druggist has it. in both liquid AM
tablet form. Ask for Guides Pepto
Mangan and see that the name Guides

you may be able to avoid the attack.
