NOT Quite

You Feel That Way If Your
Blood Is Starved For Red
Cells
PEPTO-MANGAN
MAKES RED BLOOD
Overcomes That Tired Languid
Feeling That Cheats You Out
Of Work and Fun

You saw 81 wish / could 60, but
don't feel able" Your friends say
Are you ill?"
You are not exactly sick, you just
feel unable to approach work or play
in the old, vigorous spirit.
The high speed at which Ameri-
cans live sometimes taxes their
strength. The blood is weak, lack.
ing in red cells. When this conf
dition exists, Guides Pepto-Mangan
taken three times a day shows quick
results. Pepto-Mangan is known to
physicians as The Red Blood Builder
1t increases the supply of rich,
healthy blood and in the absence of
deep-seated disease this means health
and strength for men, or women or
children.
Pepto-Mangan is put up in both Ii
quid and tablet form. Both forms
are exactlv alike in medicinal quail
ties. When you order Pepto-Man-
gan, be sure to ask the druggist for
Guides" And look for the name
Guides" on the package. If "Gude's'
is not there, it is not Pepto- Mangan.

Business Review
BY ALBERT APPLE.
Financial Editor, Newspaper Enter

Financial Editor, Newspaper Enter
prise Association.
Prices are crashing faster in the
| United States than in any other
country in the world. All authorities
agree business will pick up as soon
| as prices near the bottom. When
will that be? Within the next ~
or so days, answers the president OF
| the United States Chamber OF Com
merce.
Wholesale Prices.
Wholesale prices of commodities
| have dropped an average of 50 per
cent since February /. This is an
nounced by Bradstreet's. Retail
prices are down only half as much.
Most important price collapse this
week is the break in the anthracite
coal market. Some jobbers predict
| So a ton mine price within a fort
night. January will be the low price
month in all lines, many authorities
believe. M
Shoes and Tires.
Hides are now selling lower than
since 1911. This means cheap leath-
er. Shoemakers expect big buying
soon. They say more shoes have
been consumed than manufactured
in past six months. Shoe factories
are starting UP in the East.
Automobile tire industry has
rounded the curve, according to
Goodyear tire sales, which were AZ
per cent greater, first two weeks of
December than first fortnight of No
vember
Oil Business.
Prairie Pipe Line Co., is taking
only 20 per cent of oil offered at
the wells. Contractors say this is a
general condition. They expect
a slowing up of drilling, saying there
is an over-supply of oil. Will gaso-
line drop? Ask Johnnie alone
knows.
Cotton Outlook.
Cotton crop this year is largest
| since 1914. In many districts it is
rotting in the fields. The slump in
cotton prize has badly affected col
lections and merchandising in the
South. The Egyptian crop is bad.
That should stimulate our exports.
Secretary Tregoe of the National AS
ISOLATION of Credit Men predicts cot
ton prices will rise and the South
recover during 1921.
Steel Orders.
Railroads have just ordered l.
100000 tons of steel rails for 1921.
They will double this, the trade says.
United States Corporation running

untitled order to keep it busy for

that a steel boom starts within 80

l had loved so well.
For weeks, while Bob and l had
been pulling away from our common
life, and our community of interests,
Bob had not looked like himself. He
had coarsened, it seemed to me. Some
of the fine facial character, lines of
restraint and discipline had been wip-
ed smooth as he took on flesh. The
loss of them haunted my dreams at
night, and aroused my suspicious
when / was awake.
