THERE IS V|GOR
IN RICH BLOOD
Pepto- Mangan in Liquid or Tab.
Iets-a Blood Builder.

, Vigor and strength have as their
base rich red blood. Blood is rich when
there are plenty Of red corpuscles.
They are the tiny red cells which swim
in blood and give it Its color. Without
red corpuscles blood would be white.
When overwork, or straining, or ILL
ness weakens the blood, it diminishes
the number of red cells. Without a
sufficient number of red cells the blood
becomes watery. the body weak. Vigor
and strength fall off, so that physical
life diminishes like fading plant. The
physical pleasures Of eating and sleep
ing and exercise lose all attraction.
There is no zest in living.
After Guides Pepto-Mangan has been
taken for a while the blood becomes
rich with red cells. They help to nour-
ish the entire system. With good blood
at work there is great difference in
living. Eating. sleeping and exercise
are enjoyed. All druggists sell Guides
Pepto- Mangan. Advertisement.

CAN CATS SEE IN THE DARK7


- TRICTLY speaking, cats cannot
see In complete darkness any
more than human beings can.
But. owing to a peculiar construction
Of their eyes, they can make much bet
ter use of whatever light there Is and,
as result, they can find way
through room which appears to be
very dark.
The pupils Of cats eyes are capa-
BILE Of being enlarged or distended to
q great extent, thus letting In every
particle OF light Moreover, this en-
largement of the pupil takes place al
most instantly and there is therefore
little apparent hesitancy on the part
of a cat which enters a dark room
after being In the bright light. The
same principle holds good, In lesser
extent. In the human eye, for after we
.become accustomed to the dark"-or
after the pupils Of our eyes become
sufficiently distended to allow the rays
10 cnter-we are able to see much
more clearly and distinctly than for
merly. This, however, takes an ap-
preciable time. while 1t occurs auto
matically In the eye Of the cat.

The vogue of the name as model
of occurrences and maiden propr:ety
was widespread throughout New Eng
land and has been much used In song
and story in this country. But outside
of America and England and her early
fame in Rome, Priscilla has had no
popularity whatever. The abundance
of harsh consonants have made her
impossible Of translation into French
and Spanish. and even Germany re-

the Puritans, cared little for her, and
she has almost dropped out of exist

French Doll. And don't you ever go
to sleep? My wax doll used to shut
her eyes. She was the latest thing In
dolls when I lived here"
II am the very latest style doll"
explained French Doll, land all the
newest ones are like me-
"Well, I'd rather have my Lydia

wonder where she can be-
IF you cannot find Nina, and Lydia,
and Betty, why don't you play with
us?" asked Beautiful French Doll.
1--WE never have anyone to sing to us,
and rock us, and play house.
So all the littlest dolls climbed into
her lap and the big ones sat on the
floor and Teddy Bear and Bahia Sheep
and Woolly Dog and Calico Cat ana
everyone and everything got as close
as it could to Old-Fashioned Little
Girl and listened.

and opened the door. '"The step-lad-
der-where is it?" she cried in great
distress, and then she ran to the fire
place and looked at the empty frame,
but 1t was no use she could not get
up there, for more daylight came into
the playroom and ended the magic
power given to those who lived there.
When the little girl who lived In the
house ran into the playroom that
morning she stopped at the door and
looked. Then she called to her moth

OCEAN ETIQUETTE.

Good breeding is the result OF much gooo
sense.-Chesterfeld
TT IS so many months since Ameri-
cans have taken trips for pleasure
that we must brush up little on
the question Of the etiquette of ocean
travel. War workers and the men In
the expeditionary forces were trans
ported under such very different cir
curnstances from those Of pleasure
travel that as far as the small points
OF manners 60 It was an entirely
different proposition.
Under ordinary circumstances the
woman ocean voyager has good many
letters to write during the first few
hours of her voyage because it is
considered only courteous for her to
send of little notes of thanks to those
who have sent flowers, books or other
presents, by the mail that Is taken
off with the ships pilot. However,
these letters need not be long, as
surely no one would expect you to
miss all the pleasure Of being on deck
during the first Of your voyage In
order that you might dwell at great
length on your appreciation Of their
generosity.
The question is sometimes asked
whether it is in good form to use the
stationery such as is provided by the
ocean lines, or whether 1t is not better
to use ones own stationery. Good
form seems to sanction the use Of the
ships stationery, and 1t Is surely more
interesting to those who received let
ters to have them on this paper.
Suppose you know no one on ship
board Must you therefore keep to
Yourself because there is no way for
YOU to have introductions to the
other passengers? Certainly not. 1t
is quite good form for you to begin
with a courteous good morning adj

OLD-FASHIONED DOLLS

NLD-FASHIONED LITTLE GIRL
" In the frame over the fireplace

long time ago. but never until this
night had she done more than look
out from her frame.
But one night when the clock struck
the last stroke of twelve, before any
or the toys could move or speak out,
from her frame on the wall leaned
the Old-Fashioned Little Girl.
On the edge of the frame she placed
one little slippered foot, her little
hands holding on to the sides of the
frame. Then out came the other foot
and this she placed on the shelf, and
there she stood looking all around the

dressed to those whom you meet at
table or whom you pass every day
on deck. At least by the second or
third day out you would naturally
start conversation with the person
seated next to you on deck and to
resent any such friendliness on the
part OF others would indeed be I'M
kind. If for any reason you wish to
be left entirely to yourself you should
make a special request that your
steamer chair be placed in an isolated
part of the deck.
1t will then become apparent that
you do not wish to mingle with the
others and you will have no trouble
in keeping by yourself. But by far the
most agreeable thing is to accept the
friendly advances of persons whom you
meet and il they appear cOngenial
there is no reason why you should
not let the friendship progress quite

FARMER AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Make Farm Only .
Suburb and Land Has Increased
Greatly in Value.

The biggest booster for good roads
In the country TO-DAY is the farmer.
A few years ago he felt that the por-
ton of his taxes used in the cOnstruc-
ton of permanent highways repre-
sented q benefit only to the motoring
tourist and the city automobile owner.
The farmer argued thai he was pay
ing for their pleasures, and the result
was q superstition against the good
roads movement, which. unfortunately,
has not as yet been entirely overcome
In some sections Of the country.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land q trebled in val
ue when the merchandise for which
he has telephOned in the morning can
be delivered by noon OF the same day
when the market for his own produce
Ia brought hours nearer; when the
winter and its following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-sll this
because of the improved highway
which makes his farm only q suburb,
as 1t were. OF the nearest city-he
naturally becomes a hard-working
and ~hard-voting enthusiast for good
roads.-Leslie's.
