FEEBLE BLOOD
WOKS HAVOC
Guides Pepto-Mangan Makes
Red Blood; Liquid Or
Tablet Form

When blood becomes thin and weak
it is due to a falling off in the num-
Der of red blood cells. 1t is easily
recognized by pallid skin or blem-
ished complexion, loss of appetite or
unnatural irritability and a sensation
of weakness. 1t is not dangerous at
first. In fact, many people scarcely
notice it and go On for days, thinking
they will be better the next day.
The great danger is the possibility
of becoming seriously i'll from disease,
which can work havoc in body that
lacks the endurance and resistance in
rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto-M angan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality
of the blood by adding red blood
cells. They check the weakness, i'm
prove the appetite, and clear the
complexion.
You can get GUIDES Pepto-Mangan
in liquid and tablet form at your
druggists. Get the genuine with the
name Guides Pepto-Mangan" on the

OUT MEAT WHEN.
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make q mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says q well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
exeites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get cluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy offensive, full Of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
sensation Of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
Iithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidn~za clean and active and the blood

complications.

CUTTING FUNDS CUTS WORK
Twenty.Four Thousand One Hundred
And Flfty.Nine Dollars OF The
Fund For 1921.

The appropriation of the State Board
OF Health for 1922 and 1928 was cut
by the LEGISLATURE. This cut, with the
withdrawal OF federal aid to venereal
disease control work, gives the State
Board Of Health $24,159.00 less money
than they are operating with this year.
II is hard to conceive how this work
can be carried on in the same pro-
portion as at present; in fact, it can
rot be done Tine Vcnereal Disease
Control Digi i9n of the Board has been
cut 60co; this means that this De
partment cannot do much more than
continue It's free Wasserman Depart
ment and possibly furnish Keidel blood
tubes TO the physicians. This, as we
view it, is no less than a public ca
lamity. The State Board OF HEALTH
so far as the central unit is concerned,
had their appropriation cut S9,590.
When you consider the growth of the
population and the constantly increas-
ing demands on the Laboratory, you
will realize that this really means a
decrease in the capacity of the work
of the state Board Of Health, of about
20%o; in other words, it was estimated
by Dr.. Thos. T. Abercrombie, the Sec
rotary and Commissioner of Health,
that to keep pace with our increase
of population and consequent danger
from infectious and communicable dis
eases incident to the natural conges-
ton Of people, he would have to have
ten thousand dollars more money for
1922 and 1928 than for last year and
this This, it seems to the editor of
this paper, was a very modest and rea-
sonable conclusion.
The appeal of DR.. Abercrombie to
the appropriation committee was for
800, $4,000. This was made after very
careful estimates had been made hav-
ing in view the financial condition of
the State and of the people who pay
the tax, keeping constantly in mind
the actual demands on him by the peo-
pie and the physicians of his State,
with also the fact that the lowered re-
sistance of our people from the neces-
sity for economy that all must prac-
tice, the possibility of an increase in
the communicable diseases and pos
sibility of pellagra increasing. We can
imagine his grief and surprise when
the committee recommended an APP
preparation for the entire work of $67,-
10000; the appropriation for this year
had been $90,590O0

made TO build the abandoned nine tel
escope.
The greatest telescopes now in use
sometimes achieve a power of 1890
times as great as that Of the maided
vision. This is only when the state
of the atmosphere is at its best. Or
dinarily astronomers have to be con-
tent with much less, sometimes with
a magniication of 200 or 300
'"The atmosphere fixes an outside
limit of magnification, said DIR. Frank
Schlessinger, director of the Yale OBJ
servatory. "Limtiess magnifying
powers could not be used. Telescopes
will probably be made larger than at
present for use on mountain tops and
especially favorable locations, but the
tendency is to lose in distinctness as
magnifying power increases. Event
ually the object gazed on becomes q
blur, as if seen through a heat haze.
Only through great instruments like
that at Mount Wilson, and then only
under most favorable conditions have
objects magnified as much as 1900
times been seen with an unblurred
vision.
If Mars Were Nile Away
The mine telescope, if it met the
sanguine expectation of it projec-
tor, would magnify 25,000000 times,
which would bring Mars OFFICIALLY with
in mile and half of the earth. At
first thought this would seem to give
the astronomers a sight of Mars equiv
alent to that which an air pilot OBJ
tains of the earth as he flies mile
and half above It, At that height
an airnan could see cities, towns and
individual buildings, farms, orchards
and a thousand marks of the activity
of man. Under the same advantages
an astronomer would soon know all
about Mars, where the creations of in
telligent beings are believed to ex.
list on a much grander scale than on
earth.
But here difficulty arises The
airman is unconscious of the rota-
ton of the earth, because gravity pulls
the earth and air and the airplane
with uniform motion. On the other
hand, if Mars were brought within
mile and half of the earth it would
be whirling SO rapidly that the fea-
lures of the landscape would be lost
TO the eye, as are markings on the
propellerS of an aiIplane revolving at
full speed.
If a magnification of 25.000000
times or anything like it could be ac-
cOmplished the observer could only see
small patch of Mars. Mars rotateS
its 12,000-mile circumference once in
little more than "a hours so that
at its equator it is making a speed
Of about ten miles a minute, or about
five times the speed of a racing car.
Ii the observers were content With see
ing Mars IL miles off, the portion Wis
ible to them would still be streaming
past the telescope at the rate of a
mile a minute.
A camera of instantaneous action
might take pictures at this speed on
earth, but it could not be made on
Mars. A magnification of 25,000000
times would mean that the light of
Mars would be diluted to one twenty
fve-millionth part of its brightness in
the sky, which would not be adequate
for rapid-fire photography or even for
ordinary vision.

President Favors Profiteers
The President resents the action of
the House in making the repeal of the
excess profits tax and reduction of
higher income surfaces effective Jan.
l, 1922, and will bring pressure to
have the Senate make it retroactive
to Jan. l, 1921 The original Fordney
revenue bill contained this provision,
but it was eliminated after an insur-
gent uprising by western congress-
men. "A majority of the members of

able tenderness towards about 10000
mfllionaires, the only ones affected by
this reduction. It is we'll known that
excess profits taxes are passed along
to the public in the form of higher
prices. The profiteers already have
collected these taxes from the people,
and now Harding proposes to make
them a gift OF about $3.50, 900, 900. This
means that the consuming public and
] small manufacturers will have to pay
just this much more.
Taxes Won't Be Lowered
In my letter Of two weeks ago l
stated that the widely heralded "tax
reductions' Of the F6rdney bill have
been accomplished on. paper only by
the very obvious juggling of figures"
I then went on to predict that the
Fordney bill would fail to meet the
requirements of the government ''by
several hundred million dollars" and
that at the end of the year the gov
eminent would face deficit of this
amount.
My prediction has just been con-
firmed by Senator Smoot, one Of the
staunchest of the standpat Republi-
cans and prominent member of the
Senate finance committee. Senator
Smoot admits the Fordney bill will
not raise the revenue required by this
years budget and he places the prob.
able deficit at 50O,000;000. jan
Senator Smoot wants to supply the
