What is this Mysterious Substance"
In Beef Liver that Brings Robust Health
to Thin Blooded, Anemic People?
EAT More Liver:"- doctors Advise

If you don't know-You ought
to know-that science has discov-
cred in beef and calves liver a
Mysterious Substance" that by
actual test has succeeded in re-
storing to good health thousands
of weak, thin blooded, wornout
people.
SO leading physicians the coun-
try over are advising their run
down, thin blooded patients to eat
more liver for better health, more
energy and greater vitality.
So wonderfully efficient is this
Mysterious substance" that in
many hospitals that dread disease,
Pernicious Anemia, has been sue
cessfully treated and overcome.
But getting into the system Thu
potent Mysterious Substance" by
eating liver is recognized as a slow
process-too slow for the average
eager American who wants to get
well speedily.
So one of the best known lab
oratories in America, after pro-
fonged experiments. succeeded in
Extracting from fresh beef liver
the vital elements and put up this
extract in concentrated form, very
palatable and even pleasant to the
taste.

Men and Women! How Much Weight
Would You Like to Quickly Gain?
One Very Thin Man Gained
% Pounds In Eight Weeks

A woman quickly loses her charm
and attractiveness when she gets
below normal weight.
Her health also is apt to suffer
and that means decrease in en-
ergy and vivacity.
Some women have become so thin
that people call them scrawny or
skinny. Many underweight women
are more to be pitied than blamed
they don't know what to do to gain
flesh and attractiVeness.
People are underweight because
the food they eat is not assimilated
does not get into the blood to
build firm healthy flesh.
Correct this condition and weight
will undoubtedly go to normal and
that haggard look and flabby skin
ought to disappear.

highly of McCoy's Tablets as a

EXPERT Silent
On CHICAGO
CRIME
A. InternationaI News Service

CHICAGO, April IA. L..
Dixon. C. B., C. B. E., head OF the
new Scotland Yard because he is
an undersecretary of state in
charge of police to His Majesty
King George Of England. was a
recent visitor in Chicago and
throughout a barrage of questions
maintained a complete poker face"
when asked his opinion of crime
conditions here.
Peering Eyes He Has
Mr.. Dixon is tall. gaunt and
rugged faced, with bushy, gray
tinged eyebrows shading peering
eyes. He is the executive head
of all the police departments Of
England, Wales and Scotland.
"Crime is very boring" he said
tOpcOat and tapped the ground with
" you know much more about it
mo, we haven't any so-called
gangsters in England but we have
the normal amount OF crime"
You are criminologist?" he
was asked.
mo-" he answered calmly, "only
an official"
'.How do murder figures in Eng
land compare with those. in this
country?"
Really, they have been published
time and again. j think we have
about twenty murders year"
Mr.. Dixon admitted that most OF
the murders in England had been
solved but took no credit for the
fact. He mentioned his police was
highly organized but did not boast
of the efforts it has made to re-
duce crime in the British Islands.
Fails to Answer
Asked what he would do If he
were in charge Of the police of Chi
cago to clear up gangland, DR.. Dixon
smiled and said that it would
require long intensive study.
When asked If he believed pro-
hibitfon had materially affected the
increase in crime, he didn't answer.
Mr.. Dixon seemed to emanate
that motto Of Scotland Yard which
II generally believed to say nothing
until you know something, and
then act.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 13.--The
house of Ferguson is divided today
insofar as Presidential politics is con-
cerned. The two former governors
Of Texas. Farmer jim" and Ma,
are not in agreement on who should
be the Democratic nominee.
MRS. Ferguson is supporting Al
smith, while her husband is cham.
piOning the cause Of Senator James
a. Reed. However, both oppose an
uninstructed delegation and both
have stated that they will support
the Democratic nominee.
The Fergusons have caused more
political upsets than any other two
persons who ever figured in the
States history.
First Appearance
Ferguson entered the political
arena with dash when in 1914 he
defeated the veteran, Tom Ball, for
governor. He was reelected in 1916,
impeached In 1917, and overwhelm-
ingly beaten In an attempted come.
back in 1913 when he sought the gov
ernorship again, though barred from
N1Sntc oAhASS Wy Tie dCI VI AApSc@AAE
meY1t.
In 1920 he ran for President on the
American Party. which he was in
strumental in forming In 1922 he
shocked the political wiseacres Of the
State by getting into the run-off with
Earle p. Mayfield for the United
States Senate, but was defeated.
In 1924 Mrs. Ferguson announced
for governor, asking "yfndicatiOn" of
her husband from Impeachment, and
opposing the Khan. Ferguson man
aged the campaign and his wife was
elected. She was badly beaten for
reelection BY Dan Moody.
Neither q Candidate
For the first time in IA years nell
ther Of tho Fergttsons are candidates
for office this year. Ferguson, as he
expressed IL, Is content to sell butter
and eggs to his political opponents,
he having gone in for dairying and
poultry production on q large scale,
and has contract to supply some
OF the State institutions with those
commodities.
The hectic years have robbed Fer
gusOn Of much Of his physical vigOrs
but he still retains his blacklist" OF
political enemies, and frequently
makas use of his biting tongue. in
exccriating their political shortcom-
fngs.

OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS

1t Will be interesting to learn what suggestions
the country at large has to offer for making prOhlb
ton effective result of w. c. Durant's offer of
$4,000 to be awarded for the best suggestion.
The noted automobile manufacturers apparently
considers that at present prohibition is not success
thereby agreeing with Governor Al Smith, though dis
agreeing with him in the manner of correcting the sit
uation. Mr.. Durant announces that he is for Mr..
Hoover and prohibition Mr.. Hoover also has ideas
on the prohibition question: to the extent that he ad
vocates intensive survey of the situation to the end
that suitable plans may be perfected for carrying out
the provisions of the Eighteenth Amendment.
1t seems to be generally accepted among INDUS
trial leaders at least, that prohibition at present
administered does prohibit The belief is not con-
fined to industrial leaders The in the street. the
father of young men and women-in fact anyone who
mixes around in present political and social llte Is
bound to accept the same belet.
Conventions of fraternal, civic and political
organizations, supposed to represent the intelligent
and law-abding element of the country, give ample
proof of the truth of the contention in the preceding
paragraph.
Unfortunately, though could use S25,0OO We
find ourselves without any suggestion that may help
Mr.. Durant and the country at large we do not know
what it would require to impress upon every person
becoming citizen of the country that when he takes
an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution OF the
United States that it is solemn obligation and not
mere farce.
If we could make every citizen live up to this
pledge, it would be quite accomplishment. Ihen
would have only the minors and the nonclzens 10
deal with. j.,
But when officers of the law take the same oath
and break without batting an eyelash one can hard-
lv expect mere private citizen to abide by 1t.
Beno Mussolni subdued crime and lawlessness
in Italy by liberal applications of castor oil 10 o11en
ers But American stomachs, case-hardened by MOD

worse than an ice cream soda.
Surely among people renowned for overcoming
obstacles should be able to produce one Souno Sug

MAY 1T SUCCEED

Representatives of IA nations assembled in Paris
yesterday and signed treaties pedgng their respective
governments to abandon as a means for settling
derences and accepting the theory of peaceful settle
ment of their future difficulties
Some there are who cast doubts upon the success
OF the venture There always such, ready to see
the hole rather than the doughnut
The idea may fail, for man prone to forget good
intentions in time of STRESS and nations are no different
than human beings. We certainly hope that it will be
successful.
How much better it is to see these nations max
ing sincere and serious effort to promote peace,
than to see them flying each others throats as was
the case ten years ago this time.
And how fitting it is that the nation which dec
ade ago declared treaty mere scrap of paper" is
the first to sign the new agreement outlawing
True, the government of the nation has changed in
decade, which bespeakS better chance for the sue
cess of the present movement
We recently read the unvarnshed and uneXpur-
gated diary of American officer who served in
France during the World War Much of it would
shock the efete. But it paints very true picture of
the drabness the vugary, brutality and utter futity
of Reading it, and looking back years, is
compelled to wonder how human beings could ever
have been utterly foolish
There is for war There is nothing in
spring uplifting about it. 1t is gutter stuff and
drags nations who wage it, down to the level of the
gutter.
The very smallest gesture toward a concerted eff
fort by nations to insure peace should have the best
wishes of all sane persons. movement such the
present should not only have best wishes, but
should be accompanied by heartfelt prayers that it
will succeed.
