AWeak,Run-Down A
Feeling Is Often
A Warning
That The Red-Blood
Is Getting Low

II you do not feel like your real self. do
not have the urge to be up and doing,
why not check-up on your blood
strength? Look at the palms of your
hands, your fngernails, your lips, the
lobes of your ears-are they pale and OF
color?
Every day-every hour-m1llions Of
tiny ed-blood-cells must pour forth
from the marrow Of your bones to re-
place those that are worn-out. A low
blood count may affect you in several
energy, q rundown condition, lack OF
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
by analysis OF the blood, have by posi-
tive proof shown that SIS Tonic Is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in non organic nutrt-
tional anemia. This Is due to the SSS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent activating ingredients.
Also, SIS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive Juice when 1t Is n-organi-
cally too little or scanty-thus the stom-
ach will have little cause to get balky
with gas, bloat and give of that sour
food taste.
Don't wait! Energize your body with
rich, red-blood. Start on SIS Tonic now
As vigorous blood surges throughout
your whole body, greater freshness and
strength should make you eat better
sleep better, feel better, work better
play better, have healthy color glow in
your skin-firm flesh fill out hollow
places. Millions Of bottles sold Get a
bottle from your drug store. SIS Tonic
helps Build Sturdy Health.

Representative Horun's Wife
Leads q Very Busy Life
By Jessie Font Evans

I Washingto D. c.. they saw the
wisdom of anticipating plenty o1
elbow room for "the regiments
expanding vitalities. In the grounds
of their prewar home, overlooking
Rock Creek Park the boys have
their own basket ball board anc
out-of-door fireplace. Every wal
time year, too. they were respon-
sible for a successful victory garden
Needless to say with so many to
start with, the Horan's is general
headquarters for teen-age neighbor-
hood activities.
Outstanding among Mrs. Horan's
club interests is her membership
in the three Parent Teachers Asso-
Citations which cover the radii OF
their sons school interests. Back
home" she was president of the
PTA in their district. A member
of the Congressional Club, she at
tends its program meetings with he1
motner and is registered for mil
linery class.
Yes, Mrs. Horan does have time
for hobby It's collecting old glass,
especially goblets and lamps. With
its special aptitude for sharing each
others interests with enthusiasm
and zest, the entire family delights
in getting on the trial of an unusual
item. Fer charming and colorful
collection glows from glass shelves
across the dining room windows
These shelves were carefully de-
signed and fitted into place by none
other than Representative Koran
himself.
When Mr. and Mrs. Koran have
an evening to themselves, she likes
nothing better than to see him
indulge in his favorite indoor di-
version of wood carving, which he
does with skill and distinction.

Sleepy Brazil Village
Is Host 10 Scientists
Planning ioI Eclipse
sy The Assoeiotsd Press

BOCAIUVA. Brazil, April IL
This dusty, sleepy village Of interior
Brazil win have its biggest day May
40 when some Of the worlds fore-
most scientists come here to see a
total eclipse of the sun.
Everybody In Bocaiuva knows
about the eclipse. Many of its esti-
mated population OF 1000 have
helped build q landing field nearby
and are working on roads to the
observation post being set up a
miles away.
The outgoing Mayor, Geraldo
Vale, was SO enthusiastic in helping
build the road that he broke leg
while uprooting tree. He's hoping
to be hopping around on the big day.
4 Bocaiuva tbo-ky-yuva) Is only 500
air miles northwest Of Rio de
Janeiro, but 1t takes three days to
get here by train and just as long
to send a telegram back
Can BE Reached by Air.
The town can be reached by air
now with completion of a landing
field built by the United States
Army Air Forces in cooperation
with the Brazilian Air Ministry for
the nearby camp of the United
States National Geographic Society.
People in Bocaiuva, however, still
get around on horseback or in two
wheeled oxcarts. Trains come u
from Belo Horizonte, the capital OF
Minas Geraes, but the schedule Is
indefinite. The train leaves for
Bocaiuva whenever it gets a load.
Bocaiuva's principal occupation is
farming and cattle raising.
Although the big cities of Rio de
Janeiro and Sac Paulo have rationed
meat because of an inadequate sup
ply, Bocaiuva has plenty Of meat.
The inability of Bocaiuva to ship
cattle or meat, due to faulty trans
portation, illustrates one of Brazil's
greatest economic problems.
There is one hotel, the hotel Bonn
Finn thappy ending). The proprie-
tor OF this eight-room establishment
keeps no books He just remembers
who his guests are and who else has
made reservation and for what
date.
No English Spoken.
No English is spoken here, but
the phrases "Okay'' and Good by"
have been picked up by many of the
children from American soldiers.
American cigarettes are welcomed
by the towns people, but cannot be
used for black market trading. The
people of Bocaiuva would just as
soon have Brazilian cigarettes.
The people, although very poor.
have the independence that is gen.
orally characteristic of country peo-
pie and Bocaiuva is In no danger Of
becoming a boom town because OF
the eclipse.
For four tense minutes, the visit
ing astronomers will observe the
May 20 eclipse with mans most
modern scientific instruments at IL
GMT % am. in Brazil and am.
EST).
Representatives of some of the
worlds most famous observatories
will be posted at this point. Others
will be within few hundred miles
along the direct path Of the sun
through this middle area of Brazil's
woodland and near jungle. Even
100 miles off this line only partial
eclipse is visible.
The National Geographic Society
is setting up its post here and others
are expected to come. The Brazilian
National Observatory will work from
a nearby place called Lassence, A
Swedish mission will be at Came
lefru.
