The Door Slams
On Happiness
Poor Blood Makes Bad Health
Then Come the "BIues"

Once the vigor of red blood be-
comes Slapped of its strength, the
door to happiness is literally slam
med. WEAKNESS of body follows and
it unfailingly engenders depressed
thoughts. To be reserved and cheer
less becomes a habit. After time
there is an almost filmy dimness in
the expression Of the eyes and pal
lor to the skin. Days seem dull and
dark and difficult. A sense of in
siderable gloom pervades the spirit.
Then it is that Guides Pepto- Man
gan is the great help. It is a red
blood builder. 1t puts red into the
blood-increasss the number of COR
puscles which make Blood rich and
red. When the blood is restored TO
its natural healthy state, the sensa-
ton of well-beipg returns. In
stead Of shutting along carelessly,
there is the firm and springy step,
the bright lusterful eyes, the clear
complexion, identified with the
strength and vigor of good health.
The druggist has Guides Pepto-Man-
gan in both liquid and tablet form.

Oh, land of the verdant Blue Grass
How proud am of thee;
How fine thy scenes are in their
class,
They look so grand to me.
But not alone for they fine scenes,
/ love thy land to roam,
Thou hast a dearer charm for me-
Thou are my native home.
Thy STREAMS flow with beauty and
wealth,
Yes, unequalled they be,
Thy hills and wales bloom with
health,
And are so grand to see.
But not for they grand mountain
scenes,
Nor for thy azure dome,
But just naturally love thee,
Ny old Kentucky home.
And you have prouder glories, too,
Than nature ever gave;
Peace sheds Ger thee genial dew
And freedoms banners wave.
Charity plays noble part,
Religion lifts its dome,
These things endear thee to my
heart,
Ny own loved native home.
The Lord to thee great wonders gave,
Thou hast streams under ground,
A most wonderful Mammoth Cave
And marble cliffs are found.
And the finest horses, it's true,
Will be found in thy zone,
And most lovable women, too,
Are in my native home.
You produce fine hogs and cattle,
Yes, and other things more;
Have many good mules as chattel,
And fine horses galore.
You raise fine wheat and also corn,
But not these crops alone,
For tobacco, too, looms up strong
At the Kentucky home.
May God best gift to man be thine,
God bless thy handsome girls,
Like rare flowers they sweetly shine;
Their hearts are pure as pearls.
Yes, and grace and virtues crown
them
Where'er their footsteps roam;
How can l then whilst loving them,
Not love my native homeq
I have visited other climes
Beloved of tale and song;
Have stood on hills, proud and
sublime,
Where natures wonders throng;
Yes, by beautiful sunlit streams
Where honored men did roam,
But have not found land so fair
AS my Kentucky home.
Land of the Blue Grass, best of all |!
Here is wishing you wealth;
Now and forever and for all
May you be blest with health.
May no dark dissensionss' banners
Ever wave DER thy loan,
But should it come, I pray the Lord
May guard my native home.

NEW YORK. November 2e.-Whole-
sale and retail trade suffered some
slight check this week. This is at
tributed In part to the approach OF Sne
Thanksgiving holiday. the effect of the
garment workers strike and to the fact
that the winter seasonal buying by both
wholesalers and retailers now is draw
Ing to a close. Many firms are delaying
contemplated purchases In order to close
the year with light Inventories. doho1y
buying, while 1t Is confined more closeiy
than last year to useful articles rather
than to extravagance, is but little peioW
the normal average SO far.
Hundreds Of dwellings are being puils
in this section and the late months OF
this year will be busy ones in the con.
struction line. Lumber has advanced
nearly 30 per cent in the last six weeks
and further advances In the prices OF
brick and cement are forecast bS some
btatisticians. Inquiries Tor structural
steel have increased perceptibly.
The surplus supply of copper IS oeing
reduced and there is an underlying
strength in this market which Is taken
to forecast a decided improvement In
prices. Raw silk likewise Is on the
upgrade, rejecting the price advances
in primary markets. Leaf tobacco and
the cigar industry are very quiet. The
effect of the foreign exchange situation
on the export trade IL indicated by the
fact that nearly 800 vessels are tied up
in and around this port.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
PITTSBURGH, November 22.-Busi-
ness and industry in this section are
more than holding their own in COM
parison with other sections. There Is
q steady Improvement noticeable in
nearly every line. Although iron and
steel are experiencing a slight let
up, mills are operating at more tnan
60 per cent of capacity as ~hoie
This must be regarded as q most en-
couraginS factor.
Department store business has been
held back by warm weather. but the
larger concerns report that the
amount of business done shows ma
terial improvement over that of last
year. There is disposition to force
holiday trade as much as possible and
merchants are competing sharply for
such business. The October building
report was the best in months and a
real construction revival is expected
next spring. Window glass manu-
facturers are encountering foreign
competition, but are enjoying a better
demand than for a long period. Sew
eral local plants are increasing their
operations and demand seems to war
rant production at almost capacity.
There has been improvement in de-
mand for contractors equipment. mill
supplies and OIL field materials. Many
coke ovens have been fired in the
Connellsville region, but that f1eld
still leaves much to be desired. No
large coke orders have been received
recently, although coal is moving in
q satisfactory manner.

LONESOME CHARLEY" REY-
NoLDS, cUsTER,S SCOUT

Many noted scouts served with Cen
eral Custer during his Indian cam
paigns, but his fayorite Of them all
was Charles Reynolds, known as
Lonesome Charley" In the early
seventies, Reynolds was hunter for
the garrison at Fort Rice, N. ID. He
was a quiet little man who lived
much to himself and preferred to
hunt alone, no matter how many hos
tile Indians were near. Because Of
his disregard for human companion
ship, he became known by everyone
as Lonesome Charley"
Reynolds first served under Custer
In the exploration Of the Yellowstone
country in 1873. During his expedi-
ton two inoffensiye civilians with
Clusters command were murdered by
the Indians. The next year, while
Reynolds was attending sun dance
of the Sioux near Fort A. Lincoln,
N. D., he heard a young chief named
Rain-in-the-Face boast Of the murder
of the two men. Charley reported this
to Custer and Rain-in-the-Face was
arrested and imprisoned. Later he
escaped and sent back his now-famous
VOW of vengeance of the whole Custer
family.
Lonesome Charley" was with Gus
ter during the exploration Of the
Black hills in 1874. When gold was
discovered, at Clusters request he
rode $50 miles, through a country
swarming with hostile Indians to Fort
Laramie, Wyo., in 48 hours and gave
to the world the first news of the
discovery, causing stampede Of min
ers into that region.
When Custer started on his lass
campaign against the Sioux in 1915
Reynolds was offered the position OF
chief guide. /-
When the Seventh cavalry left the
steamer Far West, Reynolds was Ill
| Capt. Grant Marsh of the Far Wesi
tried to persuade him not to go witt
the expedition since he was In nj

refused
I've been waiting and getting
h ready for this expedition for tive
4 years, captain, and I'd rather be deaf
than miss it." he said earnestly. 81
he rode away to his death. .--
| When Custer divided his command
to attack the Sioux on the Little BIZ
Horn, the scout was sent with Majo
Reno. The Indians swept down upo'
Reno and forced him back to tn
wooded bluffs across the river. Lone
some Charley" was killed in this re
treat. His body was found surrounds
by go empty cartridge shells. He ha,
died fighting.

RABBITS HARM FRUIT TREES
Kill Many--Ssfest Way Ia to
Wrap With Paper.

Rabbits are very troublesome to or
ehardists In some localities. These
pests gnaw the bark from the young
trees and kill many while the trees are
young. In some localities the rabbits
do not wait for winter when green
food Is scarce, but late in summer or
early In autumn bark the trees and
injure or ruin them.
The only safe way to protect the
young trees, is to wrap them with
heavy paper or pasteboard. II asaila-
BILE, tar the paper. Some manufac-
turers make wood or wire veneer that
protects the trees. These materials
are preferable, for they last and are
easily put around the trunks of the
trees. But ordinary brown paper
tarred will last season and 1t does
not take much time to put 1t on. The
paper is wrapped around the trunks
and tied on with ordinary Irvine.
Whitewash on the trunks will give
some protection, but 1t is hardly de-
pendable for a season. Rabbits multi
ply very rapidly If let alone. 1t will
pay to protect the young fruit trees.

PROTECT YOUNG APPLE TREES
Keep Mice and Rabbits Away by Fly
Screen or cIosely-Weven Gal
Vanized Wire

If there is particularly good
young apple tree or two in some part
of the garden. do not fail to clean the
grass or weeds away from its base
and protect the trunk from mice anG
rabbits with fly screen or closely
woven galvanized wire. Thousands OF
young apple trees are lost every winter
in certain sections, from being gnawed
by field mice and rabbits. AS rule
the mice work just at the surface of
the ground, especially where grass
and rubbish is left around the roots
of the trees. Rabbits are more likely
to gnaw the bark from the trunk above
the ground. especially while there Is
a deep snow and they are prevented
from getting green food on the ground
For this reason the protectors should
extend at least 2 feet above ground
and 2 inches under ground.
