to the expenses incurred by the Eu- ropean war. But Mir Elliott inti- mates that the underlying danger in such rapid and wonderful increase Of wealth Is the tendency it engenders in eXtravagance, waste and overin- dulgence in luxuries These tenden- cfes must be fully faced and over come, if this country is to reap the full advantage which it's resources and it's relation with world affairs can give it.
 As It Is With the Railroads
 In 1880 there were, MT. Elliott says, 93.O0o miles of railroad in the United States. This of itself was large railroad mileage in comparison with that reported by other countries. To day, however, there are nearly 264,- 900 miles of railroads in the United States, and this increase represents the bringing under control and culti- walton of much of the greater and of the southwest. In 1880 the number of public hospitals and libraries was almost too small to report. Today there are 6.000 hospitals and 10000 libraries, and these benefactions rep resent the use to which some of the increased wealth of the United States has been put by individuals who shared in this increase.
 , The Productive Empire of the West Relatively speaking, the greatest of all growths by sections of the United States is that which has been secured in the vast region west of the Mississippi river. The population of that region has almost tripled and the, growth of some of the cities has been amazing. There were only 32.000 miles of railroad in this section in 1880. Today the mileage is nearfy 12S,O00. In 1880 the Burlington ran road system was building into Den yer That was a little city then of only 35.000 inhabitants. Its popula- ton today is 236,000. The Northern Pacific railroad was not completed as a through line until 1883. Then Du- luth and Superior had population of less than 2.000. Today the popu- llation is 100000. Seattle then was q hamlet of about 5000 popasatlon Today it's population is 315,0OO.
 The Spirit of Unrest
 This unprecedented national growth may in part explain the spirit Of un- rest and of discontent which MT. El- liott says does unfortunately prevail This spirit has been infused into some of the colleges And yet. the fact remains that the United States possesses greater natural resources, greater wealth and greater ability to | help the world than any other rfa- ton. Bearing this in mind it should be possible for men and women of Influence to. suppress the spirit or unrest and put an end to the false teaching of those who profess 10 pe- tlieve in bolshevisrr

WEIGH LECTURES AT UNIVERSITY ON
 HEALTH OF STATE
Says There Is Time In Educa- ton of Boys and Girls When Frank Talk on
 Purity Is Needed

Tuscaloosa, June 26.-(Special.)- pr. S. W. welch of the state health department yesterday gave the con cludinE lecture of the citizenship school at the university, which was last, but by far not least of the splen- did lectures given during the week.
 pr. Welch is rightly considered one of the greatest health officers in the south, not only in the work he does himself, but for his executive ability and his ability to pick men for work.
 On this occasion. Dr. Welch said that he was not a speaker, but would tell what the Alabama state board of health has accomplished during the past two years, saying that the work in Alabama is distinguished from all other states, in that it is the only state which makes drives for the discovery of tuberculosis, ty- phoid, malaria, etc, and then tells how to cure. Also the plan in this state is to work by organized dis tricts, and the work is mostly ac- complished by local organizations under the supervision of state work CTS. First, the health officer finds the trouble; then is followed up by public health nurse and rural inspec- tors are required to visit homes and see to the sanitation of water supply. A bureau of inspection is acttye in making the hotels moro habitable, improving restaurants and inspect ing meats and milk. However, many ts1a tw. completely organized up to this time, but the health department proposes to have a nurse over each of the nine districts in the state.
 Cases of Rabies
 pr. Welch mentioned the fact that there Is not a spot in Alabama which has not case of rabies, saying that if everybody could see the mangled limbs and bodies of many little chill dren sent to Montgomery for treat ment for rabid animal bites, there would not be so many protests against any law for their protection.
 With regard to the control of ma laria in the state, pr. Welch stated that Alabama Is doing more for this than any other state in the south, ex- cept Texas. which is much larger and has twice as much money as this state.
 He said that in 1917 there were sS7 deaths from typhoid fever in the state, and that in 1920 there were only S61 deaths from the same dis ease, and that this is a saving to the state of about s131, ,000 annually.
 In order to rid the state of malaria breeding places, during the past year more than 800 miles of ditches have been dug for drainage purposes, a number of which are around Tusca loosa.
 Social Disease
 The all important feature of his lecture was the statement that social diseases are receiving particular at tention and being eradicated to large degree. The condition of such large per cent of young men which rendered them unfit for service in the World war showed the actual need of proper instruction and pre- vention along this line. pr. Welch said there is a time in the education of boys and girls when they ought to be talked to frankly regarding pur- ity of their physical bodies. and

NED BUNTLINE, SCOUT WHO
WAS WRITER OF PLAYS

Some ri the oti scouts turned their
hands 20 queer trades when the Indian
lighting days were over. Buffalo Bill
was the owner of Wild West show,
Edgar s. PaxsOn became q painter. and
Capt. Jack Crawford was a poet. 1t
was left for Ed Buntline to add an
other 10 the list Of unusual things for
scout to do. He became the writer
OF dime novels and the producer Of
nelodramas equally exciting.
Judson was his real name, and Ed

full title with which his parents bur-
dened him on the day of his birth In
Philadelphia in 1922. He became one
OF the boys who ran away to sea and
when he was only thirteen he rescued

down by ferry steamer In New York

Jack, and began writing his thrilling.

their lives. Ned Buntline was the,
pen name he used In his writing, and.
as Ned Buntline he became famous.
Buntline believed that eastern audi

based on life In the Far West and In
1872 he persuaded Buffalo Bill and
Texas Jack to come East and take,
part In one of his melodramas. They.
arrived In Chicago one Wednesday and
found that Buhtline was planning to,

had rented the largest theater I'm the,

Buntline's dime novels were eounIIy

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

Some children grow too quickly-it
saps their strength. They lapse into
careless, desultory habits, or develop
a shrinking attitude. Their faces look
pinched.
The blood becomes overtaxed by
too rapid growth; and poisons from
the system take the place Of strength
giving red corpuscles in the blood
Red corpuscles are tnose 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 Pep
to-Mangan enriches the blood by in
creasing the number of red corpus
cles, and restores the blood by driving
out the poisons. When the revved
