stale BLOOD
BLURS LIVING
Guides PeptO. Mangan Reyiyes the
Blood 10 Helathy
State.

Stale blood blurs living. It dulls the
love for pleasure, and weakens the
spirit Thoughts sink into an unre-
deemed dreariness that no goading Of
the will can dispel. Where there was
thrilling excitement there is only an
aching sensation Of fatigue.
Guides Pepto-Mangan taken regu-
larly for a while puts a check to the
facilitating effects of thin, watery
blood. 1t supplies the blood with red
corpuscles, steps it up to its normal,
rich redness. Then it is that the plea
sures of rhythmic living returns. The
smouldering glow of life warns and
brightens so that the pleasant sensa-
tons Of eating, sleeping, walking in
the golden sunshine, breathing deep
the health-giying air, again become
thrilling and full Of delight.

WOMAN VOTERS TO
ORGANIZE A LEAGUE
At SATURDAY MEET
Mason County Branch Of League OF
Women Voters To BE Organized
At Big WOmen's Mass Meet.
ing Here Saturday.

! The question is often asked why
both a Federation of Women's Clubs
and a League of Women Voters, the
two organizations are complementary,
not competitive. The one educates,
the other translates education into
action.
Quite appropos, therefore, and sure
to elicit careful consideration Is the
notable joint letter" now being sent
out. the signatories being Mrs. Thos.
G. Winter. president Of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, and
Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of
the National League of Women voters.
The letter reads:
"There are before us at this time so
many important issues that it is even
more than usually wasteful of
strength for women agreeing upon
great issues not to get the full force
10 be derived from cooperation The
General Federation of Women's Clubs
and the National League of Women
Voters are both organizations of pro-
gressive women interested in the right
development and the right conserva-
ton of orr country's resources; they
are both organized in each one of the
forty-eight states; they are both sup
porting certain state and federal leg
islation, in many instances the same
bills.
Obviously. since the work
of the General Federation is primarily
sociological and educational, and the
work of the league concerns itself
with women as voting citizens, there
is a GOOD and sufficient reason for CO.
operation. These differences are in
emphasis only and not in sharp dis
tinction. The federation has always
done legislative work, and the league
is doing educational work; but the
overlapping should be used to pro-
mote mutual strength and understand
ing. never rivalry or antagcnism.
at is with great pleasure, therefore,
that we. the national presidents OF
.Eese two organizations, announce 10
1ur auxiliary members our mutual I'M
of the value of both Or
and our earnest desire
hat the most cordial relations of CO.
,peration shall exist between all state
md local branches and the members
n general of the Federation Of Wom-
ms Clubs and the League of Women
Voters. TO the end that the work in
which we are all interested may be
0rwarded with the least possible
waste of effort
In pursuance of the two fold pur-
,ose to strengthen and train the in
liyidual woman citizen and TO add
strength to the advocacy of legislative
measures fostered by women, the
mass meeting of women at the court
louse at 2 o'clock Saturday is called
or the purpose of organizing Mason
'ounty League of Women Voters,
ranch of the Kentucky league, which
$ branch of the National league.
The meeting will be addressed by
he state organizer, and the state
reasurcr. the president of the Fayette
county league and others. Every
roman wishes to make the Mason
county league one of the strongest and
most efficient in the state. That is the
way Mason county does things. Come.

MANY MOTHERS
DIE In CHILDBIRTH

More deaths occurred among
women between 20 and 40 years OF
age last year from puerperal
causes (childbirth) than from any
other one cause except tuberculo-
sis, according to statistics just COM
piled by the State Board of Health.
The total number Of deaths from
this cause was 40, or one death of
a mother for every 1O7 children
born. In Kent county, where the
death rate from this cause was the
highest, there was one death of
mother for every 76 children born.
The number of deaths from this
cause in Delaware has gradually
increased from 27 in 1916 to 45 in
1920, the number last year being
within one of the high record
caused by the influenza epidemic in
1918. The ratio is considerably
higher than for the country as a
whole. and according to officials of
the State Board of Health there
must be some plan worked out to
stop this unnecessary sacrifice of
life. In other communities much
has been accomplished by a thor
ough follow-up system whereby
prospective mothers are induced to
place themselves under the direc-
ton of a physician. This work can
not be undertaken without an ade-
quate staff of public health nurses.

Uncle Harry Talks About
UnSOIued Problem of Russia

HAS anything been definitely set
tied about Russian" asked Joe.
That's a rather dimcult question
to answer" replied Uncle Harry.
''rhe reports about Russia and the
relations between that country and
the other countries seem to be as
contradictory and confusing as ever;
and next month will mark the
fourth anniversary of the first Rus
sian Revolution and the overthrow
OF the Gar and his government.
"a few days ago 1 saw a dispatch
in the paper from Washington say
ing that President Wilson had ask
ed the European Powers to enter
into an agreement to give Russia a
guarantee against any attack from
the outside. The President made
the point that such a guarantee
would make it possible to test the
Soviet government, which has fire.
quently claimed that the attempts
OF various groups in Europe to
overthrow the present government
have made it necessary to maintain
its more or less warlike attitude to-
ward most Of the other nations.
There have been many reports from
Russia to the effect that the Soviet
Government would gladly make
peace. with the European nations
and the United States IL the OUT
side powers would stop their attacks
on Russia and recognize the Soviet
Government. Apparently this latest
suggestion by President Wilson has
been made with a view to finding
out whether the officials OF the Sow
let overnment really mean what
they say"
Business Men Waiting on Govern
mcnts.
But Uncle Harry. how about the
reports that have been published
frequently during the last few
months about American and British
business men entering into busines,
