have less vigor.
For building up blood weakened
by overwork, illness or other causes,
Guides Pepto-Mangan, for years pre-
scribcd by physicians, is now gen
orally known as a prompt and harm
less tonic.
GUIDES Pepto Mangan soon pro-
duces marked beneficial results. The

proves that the blood has been sup
piled with the sorely needed rich
ness to supply the entire system
with renewed strength.

THE treaty which practically end

entirely now entity known as the
zine 0f the Straits out of the narrow
waters that separate Europe and
Asia Minor-the Dardanelles, the Sea
If Marmora and the Bosphorus-
and their shores. Over this was
placed an international commission.
The door which had so long been kept
closed by the Turks when they de-
sired. to the detriment OF commerce,
was to be flung wide open TO permit
the passage of ships or trade or war
belonging to any nation. That this
has already been accomplished in a
measure is shown forcibly by recent
dispatches stating that Greek warship
barred from the Black Sea since the
prosperous days OF Byzantium-are
again sailing its waters and have
shelled towns held by the rebellious
Turks
