Prowess

NICE, June 29.-King Gustav. of
Sweden, who had been wintering
here, just previous to his denartnre
LOT stockholm to resume his kingly
duties expressed desire to play one
last game of tennis with Suzanne
Lenglen, worlds woman champion. as
a partner against ex-King Manuel of
PORTUGAL paired with Mrs. Satter-
thWalte, the celebrated English ex-
pert. The king is not as Young as
ne used to be and it was only through
the overwhelming superiority of
Miss Lenglen that the game went to
the present ruler against tho ex-
king.
Miss Lenglen, who will shortly
meet several of the best American
players explained to the kings. that
she learned tennis at the age of ten
at Campiegne, in Picardy. where her
father was landscape gardener. The
tennis court there was drawn up like
a checker board in squares of about
three feet across and the child prac-
ticed placing the ball into any square
that might be called off by her faith
Ell.
Then this became too easy and Mr..
Lenglen, tying small stone in the
corner of his handkerchief, used to
throw it at various spots, near the
net or extreme left or right hand
corners and Miss Lenglen was asked
to place the ball as near to the hand

Do YOY CATCH
COLD EASILY?
Your Vitality Is low Resistance
Weak.
YOU NEED PEPTO-MANGAN
Rich, Red Blood Will Strengthen You
and Put You on Your Feet =
Able to Resist Colds.
NEED PEPTO-MANGAN

Your system normally healthy
should never catch cold. Your body
is adjusted to take care Of sudden
changes in the weather.
1t is when you are run down and
your vitality is low that your body
cannot adjust it~elf. Then you take
cold.
If you keep your blood in good
condition, with plenty of red corpus
cles, you will be strong and your body
will easily adjust itself to sudden
changes. You will throw off the cold
germs that go flying into the air when
someone with a cold sneezes.
Red-blooded men, women and chill
dren eat well. They have plenty of
energy. They go along with a smile
because they feel right.
Try Pepto-Mangan the successful
tonic. 1t is a wonderful blood builder.
Take it for awhile till you feel right.
-Mangan is widely and hearth
ly endorsed by physicians. 1t is eff
fective and easy to take. 1t is pre-
pared in both liquid and tablet form.
The medicinal properties are the same.
Sold at any drug store. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man-
gan-"Gude's." Ask for it by name,
and be sure that the full name,
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan," is on the
package. Advertisement.
