a Message to
Underweight
Men and Women

The one supremely good health
building tonic that is also the one
great weight producer known to
modern science the country over is
McCoy's Tablets.
They build flesh where flesh is
needed-sunken cheeks, neck and
chest-ar1d many a man and wom-
an, skinny and scrawny, have
thanked McCoy's after few weeks
treatment for the decided improve
ment in looks and figure.
Many times the increase in weight
is astonishing-one exceedingly thin
woman gained 10 pounds in % days.
Mccoy takes all the risk-Read
this ironclad guarantee: If after
taking 4 6O-cent boxes of McCoy's
Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any
thin, underweight man or woman
doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and
feel completely satisfied with the
marked improvement in health
your druggist is authorized to re-
turn the purchase price.

Reed dominated Missouri Demo-
cratic circles. Hoover and Lowden

Hoover Is Popular
Indiana editors, who have been
occupied extensively by factional
strife, expressed the belief that both
parties would have their difficulties
ironed out by next year.
Minnesota is deeply interested in
farm relief and Lowden and Hoo

any other Democratic possibility.
In Wisconsin, Hoover was said to

1928 PUZZLES
DAILY EDITORS
OF MIDWEST
Farm Belt Undecided on
Presidential Material for
Both Parties.
BY EDWARD G. DERR
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-Editors of
daily newspapers in the agricultural
belt believe the united support of
the Middle West has not yet been
won by any presidential aspirant in
either major party.
More than fifty editors, attending
the convention of the Inland Daily
Press Association, were interviewed
by the United Press. Most of them
were editors of thriving dailies in
the smaller cities and towns in the
heart of the farm belt. They rep
resented the rural and semi
metropolitan districts of Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Indiana, and Minnesota rather
than the large metropolitan centerS
Cal Meant What He Said
On only one point did the editors
come near agreement. That was
that eff President Coolidge were
to reconsider and run again, he
easily would carry the Mississippi
valley States"
But most of these editors believed
President Coolidge meant what he
said' when he issued the do not
choose to run" statement.
At this point, all signs Of agree
ment stopped. Frank o. Lowden,
former Governor Of Illinois; Her
bert Hoover, secretary of COM
merce; Vice President Charles G.
Dawes, and Charles E. Hughes,
former secretary of State and Re-
publican nominee in 1916, received
chief mention among the Repub-
lican candidates.
Governor Al Smith, New York;
Senator James A. Reed, Missouri;
E. T.. Meredith, Iowa, and Vic
Donahey of Ohio were mentioned
most frequently by the Democrats.
Lowden Heard Frequently
Lowden was mentioned most fire.
quently. That might be explained
by the fact that Illinois editors were
present in greater numbers than
those from other States. AL Smith
is the best known Democrat in IL
linois. Senator Reed OF Missouri
has large following.
Iowa editors leaned strongly to-
ward Lowden and Hoover. E. T.
