YOU CAN'T
DODGE 1T
Once In Awhile Your Blood Clogs
And Your Vitality Runs Down
THEN TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN
You'll Pick up again Quickly with
Plenty of Red Blood
COrpuscles

Physicians nowadays take a
blood test when you are run down
They count the red corpuscles in
your blood. If there are too few
they give you tonic for your
blood. 1t happens right along.
They are always on the lookout
for indications of weak blood.
Why? Because they know when
your blood is weak your resis-
lance to disease is low. Your
vitality and energy quickly run
down.
You can tell when your blood
is weak. You look pale, feel tired.
You are not i'll but you don't feel
right. You don't want to do things.
That is the time to take the we'll
known tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
Pepto-Mangan builds red blood
corpuscles. Physicians have pre-
Scribed it for thirty years.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid
and tablet form. The medicinal
value is exactly the same. Take
either kind you prefer. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-
Mangan Guides" The full name,
Guides, Pepto-Mangan,' should
be on the package. Adv.

GENERAL WOODS IoR.

Just what the outcome of the recent of Ter of the governor generalship of the Philippines to General Wood rests with the future to disclose. That he has not accepted the offer is indicated by the an- rouncement 70 the effect that he has been ordered to go to the Philippines and make an investigation for President Harding concerning the conditions that exist there. Such a mission involves an inquiry con- ,erning political unrest, military weak ness and trade depression while there save been rt1mors to the effect that sedi- Ion existed.
 Going on such q mission is different 9om going as the governor general. He ! &ill Etin be connected with the army and plrtng the investigation he makes he will 1ve an opportunity to get in touch with pnditions there go that he will be in a better position to decide whether he wants he post in case the vacancy still exists.

AN EARLY CONFERENCE.

Quite in keeping with what was ex- pected is the announcement which comes from Washington to the effect that Pres dent Harding will shortly takes steps to bring the representatives of all countries together for the purpose of considering he highly important question of limiting armament and establishing an interna- .ional court of arbitral justice.
 Disarmament has been getting much attention in this country. Determined eff torts were made at the last session of .songress to apply it to our naval pro- gramme. It was that which had much effect upon the failure of the navy ap- -propriation bill to be acted upon and while other nations have been sounded upon the proposals no definite progress has been made.
 The pu-poseI is to bring to a stop the .-easeless competition that exists at the present time in naval construction, to keep naviss at what would amount to ehelr same relative strength without en- deavoring to outdo the other country The lime has come when the demand for a let Ip in the pace Is being recognized in most of the countries as a wise one. None Is willing to go at it's without similar action on the part of other. That Is a req sonable and expected attitude. The thing lS do Is to proceed under an international agreement which 1t is expected can be reached as the result of such a gathering aH Is planned. That would be a move Lhat would mean a marked advance
 = Likewise for the purpose of further re. moving the menace of war there are more countries Alan this interested in the idea pf an international association for the promotion Of peace that would be con. -structed about an international court tc which the problems menacing peace would be submitted.
 ., In keeping with the statements whicf he has made during the past severa honths the intention of President Hard lng Q call the conference is only wha Eas expected. and he is determined tha Eariy steps should be taken even as h. isad indicated.

SCHOOLS MUST MEET NEEDS.

If we are to judge by the expression of the forum meeting of the local chamber of commerce regarding the proposition to improve the school facilities on the East Side and West Side by the acquisition of property and erecting new building, it is perfectly evident that due recognition is given to the need which exists today for relieving the crowded school quarters The endorsement given was only what .eould be expected in view of the eondi- uons which have been disclosed.
 - Crowded school rooms do not furnish the children Hof any section the advan- -tage to which2they are entitled. They are being denied educational opportunities like other children the unfairness of which must be perfectly apparent and the time To apply ythe remedy is before conditions get any worse. It is in fact an emergen- -cy situation which calls for immediate ac- ton and action that will prsve to be the cheapest in the end.
 There is much to commend in the plan of the school board to erect a fireprooi building on the West Side That will mean the assurance of the greatest safety and the highest degree of protection to The lives of the children inasmuch as il 4s one of the best possible preventive steps against fire.
 The location ia central for that section of the town and would always insure ..plonty of light and good air and nc better site could be chosen for taking care of the growth of that district as il develops both in the city and the town
 Sentiment such as was expressed al -rhe open meeting is only what can bt expected before the special town meeting Friday night when the town will decide what 1t is going to do to meet the situa tion which has been so clearly presented Delay will not bring the remedy. Such g course would only make matters mucr worse and make more glaring the appar -ent defect ia our school system.
 ..- Norwich owes it to it's future citizen! and to itself to see that adequate schoo facilities are maintained and it Is impos sIble % believe that it will do other thai tndorse the school boards recommends lions even as the forum meeting did b. giving the authority to proceed with tn proposed improvements.

pRorECTrNG THH RIGHTs,

Cities in Massachusetts and Rhode Isl- and still continue to drsNv some comfort out of the fact that the legislatures of their states are being asked to continue the charter rights of the Southern New England railroad to construct line from the Central Vermont. road at point in Massachusetts to Providence. Such a continuance of rights is being sought much the same as promoters of similar rights for trolley roads are clinging to the valuable privilege they think they have and coddling themselves in the be- lief that the lines Will be built some day, CT that conditions will change so that others can be interested in the projects.
 Inasfhuch As the right of way has been acquired and large expenditures have been made on this road to Providence it is only natural that a continuance of the rghts should be sought. Even though the abandonment which took place some years ago becomes permanent it would be un- wise to release the hold on the project in- asmuch as the continuance of the rights will involve no expenditure In addition those who feel that they would benefit from the construction of the line are like wise interested in keeping their hopes alive. The extension of the rights means no expense to the company, the people or the state and there is every reason to be- eve that it will not be the means of de- priving any others from undertaking sim- liar work.
 It is not something which is not al- ready possessed that the Canadian rail- way line would secure by the extending of the proposed road to Providence. Il | already has line terminating at New London which permits it to get in touch | with the New England states, ocean and sound transportation quite as effectively as 1t would through the proposed exten.
 sion and it is many miles nearer the port
 of New York.
 l The extension of the rights to build
 may be sought and secured by the South. ern New England but conditions are
 not what they were when it was projected
 and the prospects that the rights will b,
 made use of appear to be slim. That tho
 rights shoull be protected for what the,
 are worth is, however. quite natural

 '"The gigantic gushers of Mexico are believed to flow not from oil sands as in many fields, but from ,caverns ho1lowed from limestone by erosion and later filled with oil. 1t is supposed that the underground lakes of oil rest on water under artesian pressure. What may eventually be expected is illu- strated by one of the most famous of oil wells, the Potrero del Llano., This well flowed a might stream of oil for eight years, producing more than a million barrels regularly each month, year in and year out. Finally the gol. den stream turned to worthless salt water over night.

His ability as an administrator is thoroughly understood and it was be- lieved that he wou1 make an excellent man for the place.
 That he will prove an able investigator and bring back sound recommendations is believed. His familiarity with conditions there shows him to be the very man for the place, whether as investigator or governor general. It. is not improbable that the provostship of the University of Pennsylvania which has been offered him since the political job makes strong ap- peal and would not necessitate his leav- ing the country.

When reports from Russia are to the effect that the activities of the anti-bol- shevik forces in southern districts are causing much embarrassment to the bol- shevik government in obtaining food SUD- plies, it means more than it might had the report laid greater stress upon the numbers involved in the uprising. Shut ting off the food supply created great un- certainty at previous times. It is bound to do so whenever such an advantage can he obtained, for without adequate sup plies and without food it isn't possible to keep the soviet army in the field or contented.
 There is a certain benefit therefore from this state of affairs, if exaggers- tion has not played its part, which is bound to accrue to the counter reyolu- tionists who have taken Kronstadt and are seriously threatening ?etrograd. While those in the north are in posses sion of the port through which the bol- shevik government might expect to get outside relief, the south is doing it's ut most to keep from Moscow and other cen ters the products of the rich fields.
