FEEBLE BLOOD
WORKS HAVOC
Guides Pepto-Mangan Makes
Red Blood; Liquid and
Tablet Form.

When blood becomes thin and weak
1t is due to a falling off in the number
of red blood cells. 1t is easily recog-
nized by pallid skin or a blemished
complexion, loss Of appetite or unnat-
ural irritability and a sensation or
weakness. 1t Is not dangerous at first.
In fact, many people scarcely notice it
and 60 on for days, thinking they will
be better the next day.
The great danger is in the possibility
of becoming seriously i'll from disease.
which can work havoc in a body that
lacks the endurance and resistance In
rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, a few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto-Mangan are
great help. 1t improves the quality of
the blood by adding red blood cells.
They check the weakness, improve the
appetite, and clear the complexion.
You can get GUIDES Pepto-Mangan
in liquid and tablet form at your drug
gist's. Get the genuine with the name
"Gude's PeptO-Mangan" on the pack

Distribution Of
NATION 8 INCOME
Shown by Figures Made Public
by Bureau of Economic
Research.
WEALTH INCREASE NOT REAL
Country's Income in 1918 Almost
Double That of 1918, but Actual
Total of Commodities Produced
Was Not Great.

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
tional income of the United States In
1918 was 81 billion dollars, as COM
pared with 34.4 billions in 1913; but
this increase in dollars did not repre-
sent like increase in production. Most
of it was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, If at all,
and large part of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
a kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes
estimated on per capita basis, rising
from $40 in 1910 and 1854 in 1913
to 1886 In 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase because
the 1886 Of 1918 is equivalent to only
1912 in terms Of the purchasing power
of 1913
These are the most important find
ings of the National Bureau of Eco
n6miC research, made public today
in advance of the formal publication
Of the results Of a years study of
"IncOme in the United States" This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
of the income question in this country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair
Mitchell, WillfOrd l. King, Frederick
r. Macaulay and Oswald w. knauth,
ur,der the auspices and direction of a
board Of nineteen directors, including
men prominent in many fields of bust
ness, education, labor, agriculture, eco
Monies and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points Of
view.
This table exhibits the main find
ings, including the equivalent value
of per capita income in terms of the
1913 purchasing power:

THE LONG SHOT MADE BY BILLY
DIXON

"The old Sharps rifle ended the
North American buffalo," once wrote
Theodore Roosevelt, the chronicler Of
the winning of the West, and he
might have added that this famous
gun helped write "Finis" to the story
Of the Indian with a few periods Of
lead. Throwing a slug at least half
inch in diameter, and with an eifec-
tive range of mile, the Sharps was
4 formidable weapon.
One of the most remarkable shots
ever made with this rifle toon place
at the Adobe Walls fight in the Texas
Panhandle in 1874, when a war party
of KiOwas, COmanches and Cheyennes
tried to wipe out little group of buff
falo hunters VINO had their headquar-
tiers there. The shot was fired by
Billy Dixon, known to the Indians as
'Hasta-Long Hair"
After three charges against the
stockade had failed to overWhelm the
buffalo hunters, the Indians settled
down to starve them out. During the
siege BAT" Masterson, one of the
hunters, noticed a group of Indians
gathered on a hill nearly three-quaF-
tiers Of mile away. They could be
plainly seen, and were evidently talk
ing over some new plan for overcOm-
ing the white men when Masterson
called DiXOn's attention to the group.
BILLY, it wouldn't be a bad idea to
break up that little pow-wow over
there, would it?" he said.
Don't know whether the old Sharps
Is good for it or not, but I'll try it,"
replied Dixon. He knew the range
approximately 1,20O yards. Fixing the
sights of his gun to this range, the
scout aimed carefully and fred The
white men saw the conference of the
warriors break up hastily and the saw
ages retreat to safer place
Dixon served as scout for General
Miles in the campaign against the
southern tribes that year, and he was
one Of the six dispatch bearers who
made a heroic stand In an old buffalo
wallOw against war party of 125
Comanches and kiowas. In this fight
Amos Chapman, fellow scout, lost
his leg. Although Dixon's shirt front
was riddled with bullets, he received
only one slight wound. That night
