 IN STRONG BLOOD
Rich, Red Blood Built Up by Pepto-Mangan
 Liquid or Tablet


 Blood is strong and full of life giving vigor when there are plenty of red cells in 1t. Anaemic people have little strength because there are not enough red cells in the blood. IL is thin and watery. Weak blood makes faces pale, pulls down the strength and leaves the body tired. weak. and sickly.
 A course in Gude's Pepto Mangan restores weak blood to it's normal strength. Taken regularly for a while it adds red cells to the blood. Then with good blood, the strength and vigor of health return. There is pleasure in living. with good blood running through the veins. Gude's Fepto- Mangan Is put up in liquid and m tablet form. They are the same incidentally. Physicians have pre- scribed Guides Pepto-Mangan for years. The name Guides Pepto- Mangan" is on the package.-Adver- tisement.

I never heard anybody laugh so in my life as Miss Pauline Echols. She went off into gale of laughter.
 She declared she was usually pre- pared for her fathers "whoppers," !" but she needed strength for that. She herself was the sole and only house. keeper around the place; and all her father could cook to. save his life was to make oyster stew If some body showed him how to boil the water and where to drop the oysters.
 Poor Mrs Echols-commission Is beaten down in her protestations every time she tries to get in word. But she finally registers an appeal that she be allowed to retain the title of housekeeper anyhow, since she knows she does do some of the work"
 And Miss Pauline climaxes the deal by declaring that the truth of the matter is that the largest amount of housekeeping ever done around the Echols residence was done by her grandmother. who lived with them many years-and she swants her to get the credit.
 If it hadn't been for grandmother. daddy never could have joined about 50 lodges and gone to all the meet ings! And naturally mother never would have had time to think about becoming city commissioner or doing any public work"
 As I said, l am sticking by the cat.
 But I went into this Echols house. Keeping thing thoroughly to find out the truth, and being slave to 1t, l intend to reveal every vestige Of my findings, and The Age-Herald family can pick their winner, o.
 When I arrived at the Echols home Miss Pauline Echols was holding temporary charge. Mrs, Behols was in Pensacola: grandmother wasn there. and MT. Echols couldn't be To- cated within two miles of the kitchen We had to send out and drag him in from the sttermost environs of Ems ley.
