WEAK BLOOD IS
A REAL BARRIER
Growing Children Often Need
Guides Pepto-Mangan.

Some children grow too quickly-t
saps their strength. They lapse into
careless, desultory habits, or develop
shrinking attitude. Their faces look
pinched.
The blood becomes overtaxed by too
rapid growth; and poisons from the
system take the place Of strength-giv-
ing red corpuscles in the blood. Red
corpuscles are those little red particles
that swim in blood and give it its color.
Gradually that child loses interest in
its play.
Poor blood needs the building that
the iron in GUIDES Pepto-Mangan gives
to weakened blood. GUIDES Pepto-Man-
gan enriches the blood by increasing
the number of red corpuscles, and re-
stores the blood by driving out the poi
sons. When the revived blood gets to
work, the appetite becomes what
growing child's should be. Your drug
gist has GUIDES Pepto- Mangan in liquid
or tablet form. The name "Gude's
Pepto-M angan" is on every package.

in ascertaining the quality of gasoline. The report
mentioned above, the latest volume of which is effec-
tive December 29, 1920 bulletin No. 81 constitutes
the basis of all tests of petroleum products to be bought
for any and all departments of the u. S. Government.
The opinion of a prominent authority
on the subject
Most writers on the subjects of petroleum production,
gasoline refining and testing. point out the ialacy of
using the hydrometer to determine the quality or
purity of liquids.
In The Petroleum Handbook" by Mr.. Stephen y.
Andres, A. B., r. Sc. +. M, there is the following
reference made to the gravity test in the chapter on
Gasoline Specifications:
Specific gravity is in Itself OF very little significance
in determining the properties of gasoline. Gravity may
serve as an index OF other properties particularly vo-
ability, only when knowledge Is at hand regarding the
source and method Of production of sample OF gasoine"
At best, the gravity test S simply a rule-of- thumb
method supposed by many to indicate something that
gasoline manufacturers and authorities are well aware
it does not indicate, that IS quality.
For this reason, the Continental Oil Company does
not sch Conoco Gasoline on a basis Of gravity. II is
sold on a basis of its boiling points, the real test of
gasoline volatility, power and mileage. On this basis
it more than meets the new Navy specifications OF
the u. S. Government.

Why does the u. S. Government
Ignore the gravity test for Gasoline?
A matter of UitaI interest to eveyy motor vehicLe ou,ne-

Ever since gasoline has been used on a large scale in pleasure cars a
commercial motor vehicles, several popular tests" have been used
gauging its quality. The most common of them is the gravity test made
means ofan instrument called a hydrometer. This gives the specific grav
of the gasoline in degrees Baume-an accurate measurement of its weig

WhGt Happened During the Var


AT the time Of our entrance into the war, the
various departments of the government each had
different specifications for the petroleum products
that il used. To eliminate the obvious disadvantages
CT this condition, the President appointed a committee
composed largely of technical men and scientists to
draw up a single volume of specifications for all
classes of petroleum products used by all departments
of the government.
The work of this committee was embodied in the
Report Of Committee on Standardization of Petro-
ieum Specifications" published by the U. S. Bureau
of Mines. And in this report-which contained CON-
plete methods for testing all petroleum products,
including gasoline. illuminating oil, lubricating oil and
fuel oil the gravity fest was ignored in every
case.
In other words, this committee. in numerous con-
ferences with prominent motor vehicle manufacturers,
gasoline distributors and dealers, came to the same
conclusion that gasoline refiners have held for years,
namely that gravity" has no significance whatever

This "distilling outfit" shown above,
is a common sight in most every we'll
equipped chemical laboratory. BY
means Of il, the boiling point or VIOLA
tility range of liquids like gasoline is
easily determined, and constitutes a
reliable indication Of their power pro-
ducing properties.

Thousands Of gasoline users have been led to be-
lieve that the gravity test is a reliable indication of
gasoline quality. So believing, it is only natural for
them to suppose that high gravity means high quality
and similarly that low gravity indicates low quality.
There are, however, many facts that show how
erroneocs this idea really is.

 That such book will eventually be published has been admitted by the quietly efficient master of the curle- ques of shorthand, but he very defi- nitely stated that no such book would appear upon the market for several years and until all possible objec- ton of President Wilson had been obviated
