GUIDES Pepto-Mangan Builds Up

There are times when men and
women cannot help losing strength.
They try to do too much or they lose
sleep or do not eat enough food that
nourishes. Blood becomes sluggish
because poisons clog it. Faces grow
pale and pasty looking. It is not long
before nerves get unstrung.
The best way to start a change for
the better is to take course Of GUIDES
Pepto-Mangan. 1t builds the blood.
The weakness from lack of red cells
In the blood is overcome. GUIDES
Pepto-Mangan sends a fresh supply
Of red cells streaming through the
blood. Good blood, pure and free
from poisons, starts building vigor
and strength. Sleep Is better, appe-
tite keener, SO that the body becomes
properly nourished. Druggists have
Guides Pepto-Mangan in both liquid

sattIe-Rattered Monster.

The Curators of the Launceston
and Tasmanian museums have pre-
sented the Royal Society Of Tasmania
preliminary account Of a nearly COM
plete skeleton Of a gigantic extinct
monster, recently: discovered in the
pleistocene beds Of Tasmania. The
animal was as large as the largest
existing rhinoceros. The new dis
covery shows clearly that it was a
rhinoceros-like animal, with skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence Of the gigantic battles in
which this animal engaged is to be
found in the complete smashing and
partial mending of the collar-bone,
and in the crushing and subsequent
repair Of the bones Of the nose and
snout.

CANADA DID WELL
Honors WorthiIy Won at Interna-
ti0naI Live Stock Show.
Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid
ly Revealed the Possibilities OF
Our Northern Neighbor.

Further evidence, If any were needed,
Of the friendly relations between Can
ada and the United States might
have been found by visit to the In
ternational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American
were to be found side by side in the
friendliest competition, the loser will
ingly admitting defeat when the other
fellow carried off the blue ribbon.
Some Of the Choicest and best OF
Canadian stock was there, and much
Of it returned loaded down with rib
bons denoting firsts, championships
that indicate pedigree, breeding land
worth, and cups and trophies that
were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points Of great interest, and here
Canada did well, securing many
prizes.
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
In the oats class; Canada carried
away % of them. A sample Of oats
from the Province of Alberta, weigh
ing 48 pounds to the bushel, was the
heaviest sample In the show. It was
Alberta oats that took the sweep
stakes, the exhibitor in this case, j.
w. Lucas, of Cayley, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were 25 first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % Of
them.
The greatest Interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships were awarded to a number, and
first prizes were common. The same
may be said Of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently, there
were many entries, and this old-time
popular breed had an unusual num-
Der Of admirers. This was especially
so in "Wee Donald's" case. Here was
a Saskatchewan horse, his owner TAX
ing back to Canada the grand cham
pionship. Not only has he done it this
year, but last year as well-two years
In succession-somet never before
done at the Live Stock show. In
Clydesdales Canada won places in
every class in which entries were
made.
The same story could be repeated in
sheep and hogs, honors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks,
Alberta in competition with 43 en-
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry, which Is
always linked with it-a further i'm
petus.
A visit to the Canadian government
exhibit Of grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, minerals and other products
Of the Dominion to the north, revealed
in tabloid form what the great .coun.
try to the north could do. A great
interest was aroused in this exhibit,
and it was greatly admired by visitors
to the Live Stock show. Representa-.
tives Of the government were on hand
for the purpose of giving information
to those desiring it.-Advertisement.

| ShyIock Shows
Walter Hanpden
AT His B G s t
Actor Avoids Sentimentality
and Gives Compelling
Picture of MaIignancy;
His Best This Season
BY Haywood Broun

1.-THE Merchant of Venice" was
played az the Broadhurst lasc night,
and Walter Hampden was an excellent
shylock. This seems to us easily the
most significant piece of work which
the actor has given US during his pres
emit season in New York. We should
rank it above his Hamlet. Mr. Hamp-
den makes little effort to sentimental
ize the role as has been frequently
done In the theater Of cur generation,
notably by Tree. He emphasizes the cru
city of the money lender, and loses no
opportunity to bring out his malig-
nancy. II is the sort of Shylock which
Henry Ford would enjoy, but others
may do so as well.
There seems little reason to sup
pose that Shakespeare intended bis
audiences to consider Shyiock as any,
thing but villain in essence. Hamp-
den presents truly terrifying figure
in the trial scene and gives 1t fine, full
flavor of melodrama. Things which
seem to US handicaps in some of his
other roles cannot plague him as Shy
lock. Here he needs neither lightness
FOR humor, and there can be no ques-
ton that he possesses force and author
ity. As Macbeth it seemed to us that
Hampden was little ungainly, but all
considerations of physical grace dis
appear when he drops into the shamb-
ling. old Jew. Both vocally and visu-
