WHAT IS THE
MATTER WITH
THAT CHILD?
When children grow pale
and iistIess their blood
may be weak
PEPTO = MANGAN MAKES
RED BLOOD
Sold by druggists in liquid
and tablet form-both
the same in mediCi-
nal quality

When your child loses color, acts
and talks without spirit, and does
not play like other children, act
quickly.
If the condition is not a deep-seat-
ed disease but merely due to poor
blood, give Pepto-Mangan. Guides
Pepto-Mangan is just the tonic for
pale. thin children whose blood needs
rebuilding. 1t is a pleasant-tasting,
simple combination of exactly the in
gradients that increase and enrich
the blood.
Beneficial results show almost at
once in brighter eyes, blooming
cheeks, a sprightly step. and the
whole system made more vigorous.
Pepto-Mangan is obtainable in
liquid or tablet form, whichever
proves most convenient. Both forms
possess identical medicinal qualities.
There is but one genuine Pepto-
Mangan and that is 'Gude's." Ask
your druggist for Guides" and look
for the name Guides" on the pack
age. If it is not there, it is not

INSUFFICIENT BUTTER
FOR GREAT BRITAIN

The Market Reporter states that
traders in England are having diff
ficulty in procuring supplies OF but
ter in sufficient quantities to satisfy
the demands of the consumers. This
is probably due to the maintaining
Of maximum prices and the prohib-
iting of private importations by the
minister of food. Although import
ed butter is being strictly controlled
1t has not relieved the shortage and
the demand for high-class marga-
rine has become permanent fea-
ture of the provision trade. At the
present time margarine represents
IS per cent OF the counfry's con-
sumption OF edible fats. Notwith-
standing its increased demand, the
price for this commodity has not
risen to the same extent as butter.

the war, compared to an increase
Of only 100 per cent for margarine.

WHEAT now AT
SICKEST STAGE
Crop Fails b Recover From Pre-
vieus Sessions, and More Low
Records Are Shattered.

CHICAGO. Nov. ls-The wheat
market was the -sickest It has been
any time yet here today. Following
the heavy covering of wednesday
and Thursday. the market was in a
weaker posteion than ever, and this
was shown in declines to new low
'figures for the crop. despite buying
of considerable proportions for ex-
port account and free profit-takins
by shorts. Liquidation was the rule
in this as in other grains. From
the low point prices had rallied only
l to IN cents at the close. which
was 5z to s% cents lower.
Other cereals were weak and new
low records were registered for all
grains. Corn declined az to az
cents and oats dropped IL to az
cents. Rye was 2 to Az cents lower
and barley 3h to Az Gets OF.
Depressing influences in wheat
were the weakness in stocks, a big
break in cotton. slow demand for
cash wheat. heavy Argentine and
Liverpool markets, a sharp reduce
tion in Argentine freights and the
failure Of two small banks In the
Northwest. Against these influences
the broader export demand and free
short covering were unavailing.
The deep pessimism that prevails
in regard to industrial business con-
ditions has spread to the grain
markets and the buying demand
even at current. big reductions in
prices is conspicuous by it's absence.
Flour prices were sharply lower
following the decline in wheat. but
there was no Improvement in de-
mand.
Provisions felt the influence of
weakness in other markets and de-
clined siRrply early. Later there
was a little hardening of values and
there were moderate rallies from
the low point or the day. The slump
in hogs to new low levels was a
factor.

The most important development
marketwise today was a statement
by a prominent banker that plans
are being formulated now for the
shipment OF gold in large volume
from England TO the United States
in the not distant future. The
precious metal is now being sent
by Soviet Russia to the British as
a preliminary step in conclusion OF
a trade agreement between the
Soviet and the English. This also
accounts for the strength the last
week in sterling exchange.
The extent to which liquidation
by the public has taken place may
be CLEANED from the fact that one
large commission house is prsc-
tically bare OF stocks and now hs r
the smallest volume of loans in
many years. Many OF fits customers
disposed OF their stocks months ago.
and those who did not at that time
have been forced to sell the past
week by reason OF impaired mar
gins. There are quite a number OF
other commission houses in similar
condition. Some of these are lend
ing their working capital on the
floor Of the Stock Exchange. when
the commission houses are bare OF
stocks professionals usually decide
that the decline has about reached
bottom and that IL is time to begin
accommodating shares.
General Motors was another issue
that made a new low record. its
bottom price being l2H.
