YOU NEED PEPTO-MANGAN
Your Vitality Is Low—Resist
ance Weak
Rich, Red Blood Will Strengthen
You and Put You on Your
Feet—Able to Resist Colds
Your system normally healthy should
never catch cold. Your body is ad
justed to take care of sudden changes
in the weather.
It is when you are rund own and
your vitality is low that your body
cannot adjust itself. Then you take
cold.
If you keep your blood in good con
dition, with plenty of red corpuscles,
you will be strong and your body will
easily adjust itself to sudden changes.
You will throw oif the cold germs that
go flying into the air when someone
with a cold sneezes.
Red-blooded men, women anil chil
dren eat well. They have plenty of
energy. .They go along with a smile
because they feel right.
Try Pepto-Mangan, the successful
tonic. It is a wonderful blood builder.
Take it for awhile till you feel right.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and hearily
endorsed by physicians. It is effect!'/,
and easy to take. It is prepared ii
both litjuid ami tablet form. The
medicinal properties are the same.
Sold at any drug store. But be sure
you get the genuine Pepto-Mangan—
“Gude’s.” Ask for it by name, and
be sure the full name, “Gude’s Pepto-
Mangan,” is on the package.

SCENE OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY
Table Mountain, for Many Reasons, Is
Superior to Any of the Earth’s
Great Peaks.
I have seen many flat-topped kopjes
tn Africa. 1 have seen tlie bare and
golden Atlas range drop away into
the golden sands of Mogador, hut 1
have never seen anything resembling
its mighty mass which is the dom
inant, the royal fact of the Cape Pe
ninsula. . . . It is by virtue of its
mass and the colossal buttressed
cliffs which form its walls that Table
mountain is majestic, as also by the
abruptness of its rise from the visible
sen-level. The height of inland moun
tains is a matter of faith rather than
sight; but this mountain, like Etna
and the Peak of Tenerifl’e ami others
whose roots are in the sea, announces
its stature at once to the eye. It rises
more immediately from the sea than
either of these, yet not so immedi
ately as it appears to do when seen
from the bay. It throws out toward
the ocean low spurs of mingled rock
and green banks. In spring these
grussy banks are all set with flowers.
Among them is a pretty white flower,
about tlie size of a narcissus, though
different In shape, of which 1 have
seen a bouquet in England, many
weeks after it had been gathered at
the Cape, standing in a vase without
water and still quite fresh. . . .

Armenia First Christian Nation.
The Armenians are an Aryan race
and probably emigrated from Europe
into Asia Minor centuries before the
Christian era. Their language be
longs to the Indo-European group of
languages. Their king was converted
to Christianity as early as .'101 A. D.,
and Armenia then became the flrst
Christian nation of the world. ' The
Armenian civilization has been estab
lished for centuries. Thfe position of
the country on ilie highway between
Asia and Europe lias subjected it to
invasion and subjugation at various
periods by the Assyrians. Modes,
Greeks, Homans, Persians and Turks.
From the Fourteen til century to the
lute war. the greatest part of Armenia
was under Turkish rule. Their en
mity to tlit» Turks rises from their
struggles as a nation to be free, which
have frequently been accompanied by
massacres of Armenians. America’s
Interest arises from sympathy with an
oppressed race that lias for so long
upheld Christian civilization in the
'No
Ea
Spread Propaganda on Coins.
Propaganda, like surgery, hns made
some remarkable advances during the
war. A correspondent In Berlin sends
us a curious example of one develop
ment. It consists of two 1-mark notes
both of which Imvb been torn through
the center as a result of being folded
too often. They have been Joined to
gether by strips of adhesive paper, and
each strip bears a legend printed in
red Ink.
The translation of one runs: “Why
Is the mark worth only 10 pfennig?
Ask I.udendorfT and Ebert!” The oth
er Inquires, “Why is the mark so tat
tered? Because the state fhunices are
tattered.”
No private person is likely to have
taken the trouble to equip himself with
plasters that are nt once adhesive and
controversial. Presumably they are a
government issue of the banks, so that
worn-out paper money may lie put on
its legs again for further circulation
and at the same time a blmv be dealt
to the government’s old enemies.

NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL
j;
Courage Is, of Course, a Magnificent *
Thing, But Should tje Regulated j jj
by Prudence.
Courage is an indispensable quality j j
in our success; but if it Is not bal- j
aimed and regulated by prudence it :
w ill run away with us find lead us into
all sorts of foolhardy tilings. Boldness j
is a great quality when it is held in [
check by proper cautiousness and i
guided by good judgment.
1 know a man whose courage is very \
much over-developed and his faculty
of caution is very defleient. lie does
not know what fear means, and he
plunges into all sorts of foolish oper
ations which do not turn out well, and
lie is always trying to get out of
tilings which lie had gone into hastily.
If bis prudence bad been equally de-
veltq . .I with bis courage, with Ills bold
ness, be would have made a very
l-’uiill* endeavor^ half-hearted ef
fort s never accomplish anything. It
takes the tire of 'determination, en
ergy, push, and good judgment to ac
complish that which counts. It is the
well-balanced enthusiastic man with
Are in bis blood, and ginger in his
brain, who makes tilings move and
achieves the seemingly impossible.—

There is that respect which one gentleman pays another wherever they meet—Then,
there’s that courtesy which friends pay one another—Also, that GOOD WILL which grows
between those who do business—between the buyer and seller. This little Good Will takes
many forms, and is combined in the term oi Courtesy-Service.
The groccryman who ran across the street and bought a ball of yarn for (he lady who
“phoned her order in” from the country contributed to the good will that exists between
her and her grocery man.
The grocery-man who has adopted a code of conduct for his deliveryman, who has as
signed a smile to himself, who has discovered that the demands of business are greater than
a mere exchange of money and goods—that g roceryman has promoted himself in the opinion
of the buying public. If he is in business to stay. He’ll not kick about hard times; for, even
though men’s purchasing power is low, he’ll be happy in the fact that he still has the good
will of the people.
The Kiss in Ancient Folklore.
A story of Alexander the Great and
a kiss forms one of the most thrilling
bits of history. An enemy of the king’s
invented a novel plot to cause Alexan
der’s death. He discovered a beautiful
young girl, who, like Happadui’s
daughter, in Iluwthome's story, had
been brought up on deadly poison, and
eyery one who came near her was
killed by her deadly atmosphere. She
was sent to the king’s palace with In
structions to do what would be called
“vamping" today. Alexander suw and
admired her extravagantly, but the
shrewd Aristotle suspected treachery.
Before lie allowed the girl to approach
the throne lie sent for a criminal who
had been sentenced to death, and in
structed him to kiss the girl in the
presence of the king. He fell dead
on tlie ground, like one struck by light
ning.
The same story appears In folklore
of India, and the early Christian
monks made great use of it in their
sermons, personifying the Christian
as Alexander, conscience as Aristotle,
sin as the venomous girl, and the weak
sinner as tiie criminal who was pun
ished.
Disagree Over Famous Vine.
On Houuoke island, off the North
Carolina coast, stands an undent
Scuppernong vine. it is near tlie
grave of Virginia Dure and tlie site of
tlie “Lost Colony.” Nobody knows the
juge of that vine, but many nearby
vines, which seem more youthful by
comparison, actually are known to be
more than one hundred years old.
A regional contribution to Ameri
can mythology credits Sir Walter
Raleigh with having planted the vino
where it now stands, and further
claims are that it is the original Scup-
pernong. Unimaginative investigators,
however, say that the original Seup-
pernong grew wild in Tyrrell county.
North Carolina, along tin* Scupper*
nong river, well before 1700, and that
from this county the species found Us
way to Roanoke island.
