more Strength anu ClcdE bhlIl
1t is we'll to remember that probable reason
why you do not have red lips, rosy cheeks,
clear skin, good health, energy and cheerfulneSs
is that your blood is in a rundown condition.
Lack of hemo-glo-bin, the red-coloring of the
blood. may also cause a weakened condition of
the body loss of strength poor appetite.
Neglect of diet, worry, overwork, colds or
sickness, frequently break down and retard the
natural development of the red-blood-cells and
their oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin.
Why not set in motion the rebuilding of these
precious blood-cells instead of procrastinatng
and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling
of being well and ftp
If your condition suggests tonic of this
kind, try SIS. 1t is not just so-caled tonic
but tonic specially designed to stimulate gas

notice pickup in your appetite your color
and skin should improve with increased strength
and energy.

value has been proven by generations of use, as

RUSSIA READY
FOR INVASION,
SPEAKER SAYS
Soviet Military Training Is
Heaviest in Europe,
He Asserts.

IF and when Japan attacks. she
will find Russia able and ready to
present far stronger defense Of
her eastern borders than in the
debacle of 1905" according to DR..
Ethan Cotton, noted authority on
the Soviet regime, who addressed
the Rotary Club at the Claypool
today at noon.
Dr.. Cotton expressed the opinion,
however, that the war would not
come in the immediate future and
suggested that much Of the news
paper talk on the subject would
subside when congress has passed
new legislation authorizing substan-
tial increases in the armament Of
the United States navy.
DR.. Cotton stated that Russia
will not attack Japan" but pointed
out that INFLAMMATION of the peo-
pie has been far more extensive in
the U. S. S. r. than in any other
European nation.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
women in military training camps
receiving experience more thorough
than our national guard rockies re-
ceive, and sixty women in the Rus
sian war college, as well as boys II
years old receiving intensive army
training, testify TO the length which
Russia IS going for preparedness -
said the speaker
DR.. Cotton expressed the opinion
that while the SOviets had some
magnificent achievements to their
credit, nevertheless, the experiment
had not, as yet, progressed suf-
f1ciently to warrant any other ma
ton considering following in their
tracks.
Slight if any improvement in the
living conditions of the average Rus
sian had been achieved by the Boil
sheviks,' said DR.. Cotton. This he
attributed to the fact that to bring
the five-year plan to fruition, the
Russians had been forced to expend
their chief efforts on capital in
duStry.

vast betterment in social conditions
through education, improvement of

which is far more advanced than

DR.. Cotton referred to the Russian
leadership as containing able men,
but none comparable in stature or
ability to Lenin.

Opposition in the Senate Com

nationwide investigation into
the milk industry today placed the
proposal in danger of being killed.
The resolution recently was

Senator James F. Byrnes DO

his committee to consider the
resolution because "there is no
money available to make the

Modern warfare has no place for
the sword, staff officers believe,
and in the future the cavalry-or
what is left of the cavalry-in-
stead of staging spectacular Saber
charges will use the automatic
pistol, the rifle and the machine

The cavalry is fast being motor

ATTACK
IS MYSTERY

Police were at a Standstill to-
day in their investigation of the
shooting of Paul Lehman, A.,
chief clerk at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, and prominent church
worker in suburban Montgomery
county, Md.
Mr.. Lehman was shot through
the back Saturday night when he
answered a knock at the rear
door of his home at Woodside,
Md. The bullet barely missed his
spine, and passed through his
body. Physicians said he will
recover.
One of the few clues police had
was an electric light bulb, which
had been unscrewed from its
socket on the back porch of the
Lehman home. It was thought
fingerprints might be obtained
from it, but police discovered one
of their members had put the
bulb back in the socket, mixing
his fingerprints with those Of the
gunman.
Mr.. Lehman could throw no
light on the shooting. He was sit
ting alone in the house, and when
he heard the knock he thought it
was Mrs. Lehman returning
from a Boy Scout meeting with
their two sons, II and Is years
old, and went to the door.
He was greeted by voice which
demanded that he stand still, but
he jumped back into the room as
the aSsailant fired. The bullet
struck him and another shot was
fired. The second bullet went
wild.
