YEAST BEST
WHEN TAKEN
It'll iron
If Weak, Thin or Rundown Try
This New Treatment In Tablet
Forrn--Watch The Quick
Results

Everyone has heard of the appar-
ent wonders performed by yeast in
restoring thin, slckiy and rundown
people to health. And now it is
found that even more surprising re-
suits are brought when yeast is TAX
en- with iron, the great blood-build-
er.
People who for years were weak,
pale, anaemic, and all rundown are
regainihg THEN strength and health
almost as if by magic through this
remarkably effective combination Of
tones. And the best of it is that
you can take it in pleasant tablet
form-no need to eat yeast cakes,
which are so disagreeable to many
The preparation in which these two
great health builders have been COM
bined is known as IroniZed Yeast.
This contains highly concentrated
brewers yeast which is far more eff
fective than ordinary bakers yeast
because ii is richer in yitamines.
Nitas1lnes, as we all know, is the
mysterious element which Science has
found to be SO absolutely essential
to health. Due to modern methods
of food preparation vitamines are
lacking in cost Of our commonest
foods-and that is why so many Of
us become sickly and rundown.
If you are suffering from loss OF
strength, if you frequently become
exhausted, if you food has no taste
for you, if you are irritable, thin,
pale, nervous, or generally rundown,
then try this remarkable new tonic.
ironized Yeast will in most cases
bring a decided Improvement within

sallow or muddy complexions within
ten days. From everywhere come
enthusiastic reports of what it is do
ing for people.

STALE BLOOD
BLURS LIVING
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan REEVES
The Blood To Healthy
State

Stale blood blurs living. 1t dulls the
love for pleasure, and weakens the
spirit. Thoughts sink into an unre-
deemed dreal'iness that no goading of
will can dispeI. Where there was
thrilling excitement, there is only an
aching sensation Of fatigue
Gued's Pepto-Mangan taken regu-
larly for a while puts a check to the
debilitating effects of thin, watery
blood. 1t supplies the blood with red
corpuscles, steps it up to its normal,
rich redness. Then it is that the plea
sures of rhythmic living return, The
smouldering glow of life warns ana
brightens so chat the pleasant sensa-
tons of eating, sleeping, walking in
the golden sunshine, breathing deep
the health-giving air, again become
thrilling and full Of delight.

After his address President Hard

America, the Medal of Honor, be.

Distinguished Service Cross, given
by order of the commander in chief

There was more music then, music
filled with the solemn uplift from
which religious men and women have
drawn comfort in all the years, and
singers whose voices have made them
known over the world came to add
their share TO the tribute. Then came
the solemn words of the TWenty-third
the body bearers stepped forward to
lift the casket again and carry it out
to the sarcophagus on the ampithea-
ter terrace with a vista of river and
hill and stately city stretching away
below.
A last touch of the spirit of France
awaited the dead here. Over the
floor of the narrow cryptsin which he
will sleep forever, soil from France

and some of the older officers of the
escort fell out, leaving it to the hardy
men OF today to escort then dead
comrade up the long hill to the roll
only of muffled drums.
At the top, the line swung on
across the old parade toward the Ar
lington gate There the artillery and
cavalry turned aside to stand at at
tention while the services in the GEM
etery were in progress. One battery
of guns alone moved into the en-
closure of the dead, lining up on<he
ridge crest for the last salute.
All the gate the Marine Band was
waiting for the foot troops and the
casket and marched in ahead. The
march was slackened; the half step
and the wall of a funeral dirge then
sounded as it moved in narrow for
nation through the trees and cluster
ing tombs and monuments and out
over the open spaces about the amphi-
theater where thousands were gath
cred. Swinging around to the west
entrance to the amphitheater, the
escort moved into line and with rifles
at present, stood as the casket was
carried by the body bearers in
through the high pillard colorado to
the right and around to the space at
the front where President Harding
and members of the cabinet. Bishop
Brent and many dignitaries await
ed it.
Weeks Introduces Harding.
The platform had been raised high
and the front was mass of flowers
as the easket bearers, followed by the
officers as honorary pail bearers,
moved slowly around the colonnade
On special stand, well to the front,
the narrow box was placed and Sec
rotary Weeks stepped forward as the
master of ceremonies and briefly in
PRODUCED President Harding, after a
prayer.
As Bishop Brent concluded the in
vocation which opened the ceremony,
the bells in Washington across the
river were ringing the noon hour. The
whole company in The amphitheater
rose and stood in silence for two min
utes as the whole nation stood, by
presidential proclamation, in rever-
ence for the dead.
Then<came the singing of Amer
lea" rising in a mighty chorus. After
that President Harding moved for
ward to stand beside the casket and
speak for the nation. Far below him,
out of sight under the stone work,
men toiled with nerves strained to the
breaking point that no word he said
might be lost by the thousands gath
cred in New York, Chicago and San
Francisco about the electric sound
transmitting devises. From the top
of the ampitheater also the ampliiers
caught his words and threw them out
to the multitude.
