THE BEST KNOWN BLOOD TONIC
DroWsy Spring-Fever Feeling That
Comes From Sluggish Blood Will
Cnor aaxo NrY


DroWsy spring-Fever Feeling That
Comes From Sluggish Blood Will
Soon Leave You
As all growing things on earth shoot
into new life in Springtime. so do the
billions of cells that make up each
part of the body renew their vigor.
AS you open the windows, breathe
the Spring air, and let in the sunshine,
the red corpuscles in your blood
should carry more oxygen to the tiny
cells
The red corpuscles are tiny disc
shaped particles, swimming in enor-
nous numbers in the blood. They
carry oxygen to cells in all parts of
the body, and they carry away worn
out waste matter. Sometimes, especial
Iy in the spring, after the winter in
doors and more or less sickness, the
red c0rpuscles themselves need re-
building. GUIDES Pepto-Mangan con-
tains just the ingredients to give them
greater power to absorb oxygen and
to distribute it throughout the body
That is why it is such a good spring
tonic. II helps so much to bring back
color to cheeks made pale and wan by
the necessary indoor winter life. It
adds to the number of red corpuscles.
With fine spring days and GUIDES
Pepto- Mangan you gain in vigor and
attain good health.
Don't go around drowsy this spring.
Take that good tonic, GUIDES Pepto.
Mangan. You can get it in tablet form
or in liquid form at your druggists
Both forms have the same medicinal
value. Insist upon, genuine Guides

THE LAND OF @PRETTY SOON"


| know a land where the streets are
paved
with the things we meant to
achieve;
1t is walled with the money we meant
to have saved,
And the pleasures for which we
grieve.
The kind words unspoken. the promis-
es broken,
And many coverted boon
Are stored away in that land some
where
The land of @Pretty Soon
There are uncut jewels of possible
fame
Living about in the dust,
And many noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust;
And o! this place, while it seems so
near,
Is farther away than the moon;
Though our purpose is fair. yet we
never get there
The land of Pretty Soon
The road that leads to that mystic
land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks.
And the ships that have sailed for its
shining strand
Bear skeletons on their decks;
It is farther at noon than it was at
dawn,
And farther at night than at noon
o. let us beware of that land, down
there
The land Of Pretty Soon.

THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT

The great key of Hig Island, hand
ed to the government of the United
States without a word from the mud
alingers, was the key to a magical
scene of construction, the counterpart
OF which the world never saw, and
may never see.
All that Hiram Johnson of California
could see in Hog Island, when it suit
ed his political purposes to see it, was
saturnalia of waste" The allega-
ton and the phrase were echoed by
innumerabIe partisan opponents of the
war administration and by innumer-
able men and women in America
whose prejudice was such that they
accepted readily any utterance of any
politician who assailed the admins
tration.
Not nickel was split by the build
ers of ships at Hog Island. Not a day
was lost Upon rush order from the
European allies of America to produce
ships the Hog Islanders produced
ships, not records for cheese-paring
economy. The payroll was enormous.
The project was enormous. The end
in view was greater by far than such
a matter as the payroll, the cost Of
materials.
A mighty plant for making ships
that would stand the severest flashing
of the severest storm at sea rose from
marsh like city rising upon plain
at the command of Aladdin to the
slave of the lamp. The makers of
ships walked through the customary,
and conventional, rules and routine of
business as an African elephant
smashes through the bush. Their
feats were feats of strength which
knew no impeachment, recognized no
obstacle, experienced no delay.
A ship, fitted from stem to stern,
Els not produced in the time in which
hen lays an egg. A politician may
cackle several times between the lay
ing of a keel and the launching of a.
steamer. The politicians did cackle.
But the European powers leagued
with America looked on at what was
being accomplished at Hog Island and
awakened to the majesty of the might
of America, peace-loving country,
determined to make first-rate job
of unwelcome war and by so doing
bring it to an early end.
That the makers and transporters
of the American army wrought a daz-
cling miracle; that the contemplate
army" which the German kaiser be-
lieved could not cross the Atlantic,
and was not of consequence as Al
fighting force, crossed the Atlantic
without the loss of man by enemy
activity. to become decisive factor
on the German front; that the war
ended before the Hog Island plant had
laid down barrage Of ships number
ing three to every unit European ship
builders and anxious military and
naval officers counted upon, was no
fault of the Hog Islanders who riveted
or those who directed operations or
those who assembled the army of
workmen and the mountain of ma
terials.
The Hog Islanders, along with ev-
e.y one else who served capablv and
earnestly in the war, elsewhere than
in the fighting forces, were raked by
the batteries of the mudslingers. but
in the eyes of observers who were
not in politics they were, and they
are, Titans. Courier-Jour-

A GOOD NAN

Not every father has the moral cour-
age and mental poise Of J. c. Fox, Of
Stanley Creek, N. c., who told many
people here last week before the trial
Of his son, II came to save his soul
rot his body" It is one Of the mex
plicable mysteries of human nature
that the son Of such a father could
have so far forgotten the training he
received in Christian home as to
have stopped to the foul deed Of
which a jury of his countrymen found
him guilty. Unconditional though he
was, the sufferings Of the old gentle
man were deep and the wound he re-
ceived will leave a scar, but through
his trying experience he was support
ed by a fortitude that was wonderful.
Hetis a good man and brave man
and those with whom he came in con-
tact felt deeply for him and regretted
that his visit here was on such an err
rand. What a pity it is that those who
commit crime cannot stop to reflect
upon the sorrow Of those who love
them when the avenging hand of the
law lays its weight upon them. There
is another phase of the case of the
three Columbia men convicted for
killing their fellow townsman which is
worthy of passing comment, and that
issthat there was no need Of mob vio-
lence. The law was vindicated-thor-
opghly vindicated, speedily vindicated
and the three wretches who will pay
with their lives the price of their
disobedience will have little time in
which to reflect upon their misdeeds
and seek forgiveness, if any there be
for such.
