KEEPS BLOOD PURE
Growing Children Need Plenty
of Red Cells in Blood.

When the young body is growing,
children frequently experience weak
ness. Girls and boys sometimes play
too hard and overtax their systems.
They become pale, weak, and sickly.
They lose their appetites, become Ian
guild, and are not able to make prog
ress in school work. Growing too
fast" is often true. 1t is most impor-
tant to keep the blood of growing girls
and boys in healthy state.
Pepto-Mangan keeps the blood pure.
The red cells in the blood are In
creased. They carry life-giving oxy-
gen to all parts of the body, and whole
some youthfulness blooms again in
clear compilations, bright eyes and
buoyant spirits. Sold both in liquid
and tablet form by druggists every
where. The name "Gude's Pepto-
Mangan" is on the package. Adver-

The old Quaker meeting house at EaS-

building standing in the United States
just where it was built and as Il
was built, without. any change, addf-
tons or subtractions and with an au-
thentic record since 1888. An occa-
siOnal replacing of the shingles Oh thA
roof and of the weather boarding are
all the repairs it has had. Its frame.
inside and woodwork, and some Of the
Notwithstanding are the same as
when built about the same time that
William Penn, who visited the build
ing, was trading with the Indians and
laying out Philadelphia.
The only preservative used on tho
wood has been old-fashioned white
wash on the outside. Seven of thu
original plank seats and the wood
work inside have had no paint what
ever. White oak, white pine cypress
and southern pine from the Maryland
forests were the woods used.

Edison's Rejoinder to Statesman Who
Had Corrected His Pronuncia-

Thomas A. Edison, whose question.
naire to college graduates excited a
good deal of wrath in college circles
can hold his own with anybody.
Once at a dinner in New York q
learned senator from Harvard took
Mr.. Edison to task for pronouncing
the word Curator" in the Scottish
way-the inventor is of Scottish Pres
byterian descent-with the accent Oh
the first syllable.
''Mr. Edison" the senator said, at
is the usual custom to pronounce this
word curator, following the analogy
of the Latin, in which tongue, as
you're doubtless aware, the penulti.
mate syllable is long,"
"Thank you," said the great in
entor. Il suppose you know, how.
ever, that it is the Scottish custom to
follow the analogy of the English, and
to accent the word on it's first rather
than its second syllable; but of course
bow to the authority of so learned
a senator and SO eloquent an ora.

he was really able to forecast rain

One of the easiest ways for dress
ing up the house at holiday lime is
to make lamp, candle and electric
light shades or lanterns Of crepe or
tissue paper and tinsel. To make
the small lantern pictured two rings
of cardboard are covered with plain
black or gold paper pasted over them.
A length of light green tissue paper
is folded along the center, slashed
into narrow strips and pasted inside
the rings. Under this length Of
rose-cslored Grape paper narrower
than the green is pasted; this causes
the strips of green paper to spread
and stand out. Silver tinsel hangs
from the wire handle at each side.
