10 iin —i iiiTni^nmiintiiimittitiMnniiT || REPUBLICAN PLATFORM I TO SUPPORT OF POP j Special to The Telegraph Pittsburgh, Aug. 27. —The Republi can platform adopted last evening is in full as follows: We render our sincere thanks to the Almighty for a most bountiful har vest of earth's products, domestic tranquillity and friendly relations of our nation with the nations of the world. i • We deplore the great war now rag ing in Europe, and express our ear nest hope for the early restoration of peace. We declare our unchanging faith in the government of the people by the people and for the people. Our devo tion to the cause of Republican insti tutions, and renew allegiance to the principles of the Republican party, whose achievements in government constitute the most luminous pages in the history of our nation. Our greatest national advance has been made during the years of Its as cendancy in public affairs. It has always been the party of real, effective progress. It always has progressed con se v© 1 y. It never has been either stationary or reactionary. It has been the party not of mere agitation but of construction. Protective Tariff Is Strongly Endorsed We reaffirm our belief in a protec tive tariff. The industrial depression and stagnation which has steadily in-, creased under the free trade legisla tion of the Wilson Administration is apparent to all men. At the close of the last Republican administration the country had reached the height of prosperity at home, and had a for ei»i trade of extraordinary magni tude. Labor received full employ ment at increasing rates of remunera tion. Since the enactment of the Un derwood-Palmer free trade law, we have had an army of the unemployed. Idle freight cars stretching clear across the State and general curtailment or (suspension of Industrial activities. The cost of living has steadily gone up. The Republican tariff policy has al ways been at the basis of our na tional prosperity, developing our re sources, diversifying our industries and protecting our worklngmen against competition with cheaper labor abroad, thus assuring for our wage earner the American standard of liv ing. We urge restoration of the pro tective policy at the earliest possible opportunity, providing for import duty, which shall be high enough, while yielding a sufficient revenue, to protect American industries and wages, so that prosperity may be re stored to the land. A Republican President and Republican Senate and House of Representatives when elect ed can enact in a very short time such legislation as will bring about a return to former conditions of pros perity. We declare at this time that it is more evident than ever before that the United States shall not he only politically independent of the rest of the world, hut shall be Inde pendent industrially and commer cially. We need adequate protective duties so that we shall never again find our selves, as the result of compli cations over which we have no con- Irol, in a situation where many of our industries in manufactures and agri culture are paralyzed for want of cer tain essential articles which we have been unable to produce here on ac count of the absence of adequate pro lection against the low wage standards of Europe. We declare for the Amer ican system of protection to American labor and American industry. As part of this protective system we urge the Immediate upbuilding by proper legislation of a merchant ma rine, which shall consist of vessels built by Americans, owned by Ameri cans, manned by Americans, carrying American cargoes under the protec tion of the American flag to every for eign port, and we demand the abso lute neutrality of our nation. We are in favor of the maintenance of an adequate navy for the national defense and for the protection of our merchant marine. We declare our purpose to maintain peace and pro mote prosperity. v Mexican Policy We deplore the policy of the pres ent Administration, in connection with affairs in Mexico. The murder and maltreatment of American citizens and the destruction of many million dollars of American property have been viewed with indifference by the present Administration. We are not in favor of any annexa tion of, Mexican territory or of any political interference with Mexican af fairs, but we declare that it is the duty of the nation to demand adequate protection for American citizens and American property in Mexico. We are opposed to war with Mexico for the purpose of interference or ag grandizement. A proper assertion of the national honor and insistence upon the respect of Americans who are in Mexico as pioneers of civilization, we declare to be the first duty of our gov ernment. Xegro Question We condemn the so-called Jim Crow bills introduced in Congress by Southern delegates and other meas ures antagonistic to the negro citizen, together with the ruling for segre gation in the Executive Department of the government of negro employes. We declare these race discriminations are contrary to the spirit of American institutions. State Free From Debt Under Republican Rule The Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia. though blessed by natural advan tages and a loyal and industrious peo ple, has arrived at its proud position among the State of the nation by reason of the wise administration of its affairs by the Republican party of Pennsylvania, which has been practi cally in control for over half a cen tury. She stands to-day absolutely free from debt. No State tax upon real estate has been collected since 1866, when it was abolished by Republican administra tion. No tax upon any personal property of any character (except moneys at IntfrcFf* has been collected by the State for many decades. No subject taxed locally by coun ties, elites, boroughs, townships or school districts Is taxed by the State. The great revenues of the State are derived mainly from taxes on corpora, tlons. For the fiscal year 1913 the rev enues of the State were approximately $35,000,000, over three-fifths of which was collected from coporatlons and the balance from collateral inherit ance tax, liquor licenses, money at Interest, automobile licenses and mer cantile tpx. From the revenues derived by the State the salaries of the Judges of all the counties and appellate courts In the State are paid, and there Is re turned to the different localities all the tax on moneys at interest, approxi mating $E,000.000, besides the greater of the receipts from liquor licenses. THURSDAY EVENING, Of the revenues of Pennsylvania nearly two-thirde ' s appropriated for educational, eleemosynary and chari table purposes, nearly $10,000,000 be ing for educational purposes, of which amount over $7,000,000 is applied to ward the maintenance of public schools, as State aid to the local dis tricts. What State or empire can produce a greater showing? Pennsylvania has reason to be proud that she is the envy of her sister States, and the Republican party takes pride in being the moving cause thereof. There are few functions of the gov ernment which have more intimate re lation to the comfort of the masses of people and their welfare than the care of the public highways. Pennsyl vania has committed herself to a com prehensive and generous plan of aid ing the local authority in the con struction and maiptenajice of the principal public roads of the State. It was proposed that the Commonwealth should make a loan to carry out this great plan and make an immediate start upon providing a system of lay ing the highways which would reach every important community, but a majority of those voting upon the con stitutional amendment which was needed to make such a project possi ble expressed themselves as opposed to the creation of a debt for this pur pose. We do not believe that it is the wish of the people of Pennsylvania that the system of highways taken over by the State shall be turned back to the townships to add to the weight of local taxation, but feel that every effort should be made to set aside suf ficient funds from the revenues of the Commonwealth to maintain these roads in a proper manner and speed ily to provide for their permanent im provement according to the most ad vanced scientific methods. We pledge ourselves to insist upon liberal appropriations for the purpose and to the econotpic and businesslike administration of the State Highway Department. The last General Assembly appro priated the money received in the State Treasury from the licenses of motor vehicles and their operators, for the specific purpose of maintaining and improving the State highways: and many hundreds of thousands nf dollars, sufficient to have placed in good condition the roads embraced In the State highway plan were paid in and became available for this work; hut the Auditor General and the State Treasurer, hostile to the Republican party and antagonistic to the State administration, of which they should be a co-operative part, persistently re fused to honor the requisitions of the State Highway Department in the use of this vast idle fund; and despite the fact that the court and the law officers of the Commonwealth swept aside the legal technicalities and art ful plans which had been interposed to sustain the impossible position taken by these officials, they succeed ed in hampering and hindering the work of the department, and for more than a year absolutely tied up the work of maintaining the State high way, with the result that not only the people of the State were inconveni enced and injured, but damage amounting to practical destruction re sulted to many of the roads of the State. "We shall Insist upon the com pliance by the officers of the Com monwealth with the provision of the law known as "dirt road law" and upon the necessary appropriation and such further legislation as may be necessarv for the maintenance of the highways known as "dirt road," used by so great a portion of our farming community. Child Labor Laws and Workmen's Compensation Child Labor —At the last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature an ear nest effort was made by Republican members to have enacted a bill regu lating the employment of miners be tween the ages of 14 and 16 years. This bill would have reduced the hours of employment and would have prohibited the employment of all who weer not certified by the School board physicians as physically qualified. It also advanced the educational require ments and increased the restrictions and safeguards of employment. This meritorious measure was defeated for partisan purposes by those who pre ferred to prevent any improvement of the existing law rather than permit the Republican party the credit for making such advanced legislation pos sible. We recognize that no child should be permitted to labor under conditions which will injure his usefulness as a future adult citizen. We believe the time has arrived when the child labor laws of the State should be rewritten and more fully correlated. We be lieve that all children between the ages of 14 and 16 years who are em ployed at labor should not only re ceive permits from the superintend ents of schools and be subject to the supervision of these officials, but should also be examined as to their fitness for the work in question by competent physicians. We believe that the hours of child labor, the condi tions of work and educational prepa ration are all subjects of the greatest solicitude to the people of the Com monwealth and should be carefully arranged by judicious legislation. Workman's Compensation We favor the passage of such a workman's compensation law as will secure to injured workmen, or those dependent upon them, Just and ade quate compensation for injury re ceived In the course of employment, without regard to the solvency or in solvency of the employer and be Just and fair to both employe and em ployer, with such safeguards to small employers of labor as will protect them against undue burdens, and with such liberal provisions for individual. State, mutual and stock company in surance as will afford the fullest op portunity for protection at reasonable rates, excepting, however, from the operation of said law those engaged In agricultural pursuits and domestic services. Pennsylvania State College We commend the support by the State of the State College and con gratulate It upon the effective work it is doing in the lines of agricultural, mechanical and scientific education. Women's Labor I,a\v The law regulating the employment of women which was enacted at the last session of the Legislature in the form advocated by the Republican party, has now been in effect for a sufficient time to test its merits. It has met with general approval and has received special commendation from those engaged In social work. We recognize that the Commonwealth, for its own preservation, has had to pro tect woman from Injurious conditions of labor so that they will not be im paired for their functions of mother hood. We believe that while the new woman's labor law In a large meas ure accomplishes this purpose, we should constantly keep under careful observation the subject of women's employment *nd make such modifica tions by Legislature as may appear necessary. Corporation Taxes We favor such changes In the laws relating to taxation of corporations ias will eauallze their burdens and be commensurate with the privileges and protection enjoyed by them. Education From the Inception of the laws creat ing the public schools, through the statesmanlike and heroic exertions of the Great Commoner, Thaddeus Stev ens, until the present time augmented by the life-long work of such men as Doctor Brumbaugh and Henry Houck, the public schools of the State have continually grown and improved until they axe to-day the pride of the people. we specially commend the rapid in crease of instruction in agricultural, mechanical, culinary and other voca tional arts in our common schools so necessary in fitting the youth for their life s work. We commend the liberal appropriation of State money for these schools and liberal laws for their main tenance. We commend also the support and acquisition by the State of the State normal schools to more practical ly, fit the teachers in the common schools tor their great«work. Public Monumentn That the heroic act of Pennsylvania and the hallowed spots endeared there by may not be forgotten, we favor the withdrawal of these places from the trafle . and we pledge ourselves to liberal appropriation to mark these sacred spots and commemorate the heroic acts. Forestry Developed by Republican Rale Under Republican administration the - development of forestry in Pennsylva- j nla has been in accordance with a wide, broad, economical and practical I policy; so that to-day the State Is In I the lead in forestry conservation. The State forests cover an area of more than 1,000,000 acres located in j twenty-six counties; miles of roads, trails and fire lanes have been opened. The supply of water has been purified and a number of towns receive this benefit. Parks have been opened to the public, camp sites are provided, hunting and fishing permitted and game propagated. Valuable assistance Is rendered the people In teaching the planting of trees and preventing disease thereof. This great work, begun In 1895, has cost the State to July 1, 1914, approxi mately $4,000,000, and represents as sets of more than $6,000,000 in addition to the inestimable value of Industry, agriculture, water supply and health of the people. There still remain sev eral millions of acres of barren land In Pennsylvania and we recommend the acquisition of this domain by the State as promptly as possible while it can still be acquired, so that water may be preserved and game animals conserved apd recreation grounds assured to me people of the Commonwealth for all times. We recognize the superb work done by the Department of Health In Its comprehensive campaign against the great plague of tuberculosis, through j Its dispensaries and sanatorlums es tablished for consumptives; the saving 1 of lives of our children by the dlstribu- \ tlon of diphtheria antitoxin; medical j Inspection of schools and the general health work Including Its broad educa tional policy. We also call attention to the successful war it is waging against typhoid fever, by guarding the public water throughout the Common wealth; and we pledge ourselves to a continuance of a liberal policy In ap propriations for the maintenance and furtherance of this comprehensive work in which Pennsylvania leads the na tion. Conservation We believe In the conservation of our natural resources, the preservation and increase of our forest lands, the maintenance of a pure and plentiful water supply, and the adoption of such methods as may be needed to bring an increased supply of game and fish near the centers of our population. We favor such legislation and ap- ! DR. BRUMBAUGH STRONG SPEECH SETS FORTH HIS PLATFORM [Continued From First Pa«e] sented Senator Penrose, the first speaker of the evenLng. Senator Penrose Dwells on American Industry The speech of the senator was one of the most timely delivered in the country in many weeks. It was a study of American industry, pointing out its strength and its dangers. He went into the history of the course of the American system of industrial in dependence as embraced in the Re publican party's policy of protection and, to a degree, of the course of our political independence as embraced in the Monroe doctrine. He pointed out how the American system, the protective policy, had been inaugurated by Alexander Hamilton, reinforced by Henry Clay and trans lated, as far as might be, into modern terms by McKinley and the Payne- Aldrich and Dlngley bills. He drew a lesson from the European war, say ing that the war made manifest piore than ever the value and necessity of the protective idea, in that protection to industries makes for industrial inde pendence, even as the Monroe doctrine makes for political independence. "What is the result to America?" asked the senator. "We suddenly hark back to the days of Henry Clay, whose great speech probably no one has read for many years unless it be some student of the tariff. We find that Clay urged the protective prin ciple in order to render us politically independent of Europe. The Euro pean conflict brought on by the Na poleonic wars, the continental em bargoes proclaimed by Bonaparte and the English naval forces practically had destroyed our trade. "We could not get many of the necessaries of life in the way of manu factures, we had no market for our products. Clay then impressed upon the American people the necessity of maintaining such a market and of having every Industry here established essential for our well being, our food and clothing, and other manufactures. Now we see exactly a similar con dition presenting itself. "We thought we had grown so great that the doctrine of protection was no longer needed and that we could get along independent of the rest of the world. Where would we have been at this Juncture had we not established these industries? We are in a measure independent and yet we are paralyzed for want of many things which, as an independent nation, we should have. We are unable to take prompt advan tage of the opportunities presented by the war in Europe. Merchant Marino Vanishes "Our merchant, marine was swept from the seas during the Civil War at a time when we carried over 70 per cent, of our American products in American bottoms. The Democratic party never permitted the Republican party to provide ship subsidies or build up the merchant marine, hut defeated such legislation by ohetructive tactics In Congress, and we never have been able to recover our position. To-day we carry less than 9 per cent, of American cargoes in American bot toms. and we pay some $300,000,000 annually to foreigners who carry our products under a foreign flag." Senator Penrose enumerated a host of things that the war has deprived this country of and closed with: "Thus, after the lapse of a century'! from the European conflict In the Na- I Doleonlc era. and after a almU&r J BARRIS3URG TELEGRAPH proprlatlon as may be necessary to broaden trie scope of the State's work •" the A-Krloultural Department by es tablishing In each county one or more bureaus of research and Investigation, maintaining correspondence with the farmers, supplying them with Informa tion giving practical Illustrations, sup plying lecturers and instructors and generally assisting In the advancement of agriculture. Fort of Philadelphia Recognizing the great commercial ad vantages to Pennsylvania from the opening of the Panama Canal and the Importance of developing the port of Philadelphia, and believing that money expended therefor will return by mul tiples to the prosperity of the State, we declare in favor of an adequate ap propriation by the State for the de velopment of the port of Philadelphia so that it shall be one of the great ports of the world. Ohio and Eric Cannl We recognize also that Western Pennsylvania Is the rapidly growing iron manufacturing center of the world. Its prosperity and Indirectly that of the State will be greatly augmented by the Panama Canal, thus rendering neces sary the earliest possible construction of the Lake Erie and Ohio River Canal, making Pittsburgh a lake port and cre ating the greatest trade route in the country between It and the seaport of Philadelphia, and joinim* Eastern Penn sylvania and Western Pennsylvania by water route with the commerce of the world. We declare In favor of such liberal appropriations and legislation, both State and national, as may be nec essary therefor; and as Incident thereto for the Improvement of the Ohio. Alle gheny and Monongahela rivers and their tributaries. Mothers' Pensions and Pensions For Soldiers We approve of the ipothers' pension law adopted by the last General As sembly and favor an increase in the ap propriation by the State for the pur pose thereof, and such other legisla tion as may be necessary for the furth erance of that object. Soldier*' anil Sailor*' Pension* We favor the granting of pensions by the Federal Government to all sol diers and sailors who have served the United States In any war In which the nation has been engaged when such soldiers and sailors shall have reached the age of 62 years. We favor the granting of pensions by the Federal Government to the widows of all soldiers ar\d sailors who have served the United States In any war which the nation has been engaged. We also favor the enactment hv the General Assembly, of Pennsylvania, of a law recognizing and granting pen sions to the men wl)o enlisted during: the years from ISfil to 1865, known as the Emergency Volunteers." Woman Sufl'rnge The last Legislature passed a resolu tion submitting to the people an amend ment to the Constitution providing for woman suffrage. The next Legislature should also pass this resolution and give the people an opportunity to vote upon this important question and we hereby pledge the support of the Re publican party to this end. We recommend such amendments to the public service law as will more ef fectually safeguard the rights of peo ple as to service and rates in the bor oughs and municipalities of the State. Tn the final adjustment of the affairs of the nations as the result of the war In Europe, we declare our sincere hope that an effort will be made by our Government to obtain recognition of equal rights for the Jews of Russia, thus enabling citizens of Jewish per suasion traveling under the protection of American passports to sojourn in that country unmolested, removing hv the means the obstacle In the way of restoring a treatv between this coun try and that of Russia, which existed under Its abrogation In 1912. U J e Kreat speech of Henry Clay, we find ourselves in pretty nearly the same conditio,, that prevailed then. We have had, during the last six months, an illustration of the dreadful industrial depression which has re sulted to the wage-earner and to the capitalist frpm an abandonment of the protective policy, end then suddenly we have with startling and unexpected rapidity had forced upoto us a full realization of our dependence to a large extent upon Europe and to a realization also that much still re mains to be done if we are to fulfill the dream of the founders of our great republic and render it self-sustaining and independent of all other nations. Depression all winter and paralysis OI «l» a '°1 e )sn war at the present time ought to bi overwhelming arguments to every patriotic and thoughtful man in favor of the American system of protection." Ri-umbatigh Cheered The welcoming shouts for Dr. Brum baugh fairly shook the theater when he was presented and he plunged at once into his platform. He declared that he favored justice to labor, good roads, local option, State civil service, woman suffrage, conservation, ad vanced educational policies, reorgan ization of the State's methods of aid ing charitable institutions, a wider local safe government for municipali ties. and other of the principles he an nounced when he accepted the nomi nation. Frank B. McClaln. of Lancaster, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, predicted that the voters in November would go to the polls and reject, both in the nation and State, the party which • turned prosperity Into depres sion, Joy Into gloom, and which would make the goose Instead of the eagle our national symbol " Henry Houck. of Lebanon, candi date for renominatlon as Secretary of Internal Affairs, erot a warm personal greeting and replied with a humorous speech. Dr. Rrumbaiigrh's Speech Dr. Brumbaugh's speech in full fol lows: Fellow Citizens: In presenting my name to the voters of this great Com monwealth at the May primaries I was deeply sensible of the great re sponsibility attending that action. The success at the primaries has not lessened. It has Increased mv i feeling of responsibility and obligation I to the people of Pennsylvania, for I whom have gladly wrought with what ability T may possess. X now accept in a formal way the call of the voters as they then so generously expressed themselves. I assume confidently that the unsually large vote given 'me in May—above 253,000—1s warrant for my seeking the election In November. "It must be understood from the outset that I bring no gifts of polit ical experience or financial support to this campaign. I do, however, bring to it my whole record of service and pledge my life's work as an earnest of the service to be expected of me as Governor. J have too long given my self to a definite type of public serv ice to have any desire or ambition to change It for any other. The form of service can change, the quality never. "I am, therefore, asking the people to support me upon the quality of my well-known work in the educa tional Interests of tills State and Na tion. I stand upon my record. "In my primary platform I set forth with conscientious conviction the principles for which I have stood in the past. I "Thpse ar« Ju»tlO/ tp lgjjor, good roads, local option, State civil service, submission of amendment providing for woman suffrage, conservation of our resources, advanced educational policies, a reorganized treatment of our charities and a wider freedom in local municipal regulation. For these I now stand. "For them I shall stand steadily to the end. No other course could ap peal to me as honest and just. The army of goodly men who voted for me in May. did so upon that platform I ask them and their fellow citizens to do so In November. They can do so confidently. "Having put my hand to the plow, I shall not look back, but forward, plowing as straight a furrow as I know to plow, as straight as Qod helps me to plow. In the aesuraoce <>f niy steadfast determination to deal honestly and justly by all I invite the support of all clean, honest, earnest, loyal citizens. "We should lay aside every other consideration and plan to secure at the November election an endorsement of those enduring principles of pro gressive development for which the Republican party has stood and for which it must always stand. "There can be no enduring progress where there Is not essential honesty and capacity. We can admit no ex perimenters Into the camps of serv ice. "Certain men two years ago as sured us that the vital issues before the people of Pennsylvania were among others the initiative, the refer endum and the recall. Later the re call was recalled and modified to an impersonal formula. Where are those issues now? If vital then, why not now? If these men believed then in the dominant Importance of these Is sues what are they saying about them now? f'an it be that a great group of our citizens has been led by men to whom the eternal principles have be come mere conveniences and expedi ences to gain office? "I have no patience with men who deceive to win, who are more con cerned for their own advancement than they are for the well-being of the masses. "I HOPE I AM TOO LOYAL A PENNSYLVANIAN TO BARTER PRINCIPLES FOR PREFERMENT. "With those who enter this contest to secure to the people of the Com monwealth an efficient and worthy administration of her public affairs I gladly take my stand. I want no oth er company. I seek no other end. I have no personal quarrels, no ene mies to punish, no friends to reward. "The Republican party can and'will give to the people of Pennsylvania as progressive an administration of her affairs as can any other party. I in vite the thousands of good people In the Progressive party to join me in an earnest and effective effort to make the people of this Common wealth happy, prosperous and con tented. "We lead in so many essential ele ments of good citizenry that it is now possible to unite in securing an ad ministration of the greatest good for all. Let us make it easy for our peo ple to work at a fair wage. Let us make It hard for anypne to be idle or to labor without adequate protection or compensation. The whole social program which truly guarantees to labor its just rewards shall have my cordial assistance. We must so safe guard our industries that our labor may have the guarantees of perma nency and peace. "The delicate work of adjusting the essential forces of capital and labor is of commanding significance. The de tails of this economic program must necessarily command a large portion of the time and thought of the legis lative as well as the executive depart ment of our State Government. Hav ing been in my personal experience conversant with this entire movement I can cordially pledge my efforts to its accomplishment. "Pennsylvania has led all the States in its wise and advanced legislation in the interests of natural conservation. Years ago it was my privilege with that great Pennsylvanlan, Dr. J. T. Rothrock, to lecture to the people and to do my part In preserving to this Commonwealth much of its wasting wealth. This was done for no political purpose. It was not a propaganda to win votes. It was a plain duty, clearly conceived and effectively performed. I am glad I had a part in thip great work. Strongly For Good Road* "We shall need at once to devote large sums of money to increase the products of our soil and to secure a good system of honestly-built roads to carry our products to the market. I have just made a study of this prob lem in a number of States and am convinced that we need a number of trunk line roads between our great certters of traffic and also many more excellent dirt roads, radiating in all directions and giving our remotest citizens convenient free approach to good markets. Whatever will attain this end I shall support heartily. But we need also a system of careful- com petent supervision of these roads when in use. It is poor policy to build a good road and then turn it over to the mercy of the elements and of our heavy traffic. 'Once good always good" should be our effective slogan. "We must understand that the strength of our government rests with the training of our whole population. Education for complete co-operation in our civic duties and for friendly competition in our industrial affairs must always challenge the support of all right-thinking citizens. "The school is the nursery of our democracy. Penpsylvania, under the theories of Republican administra tions, has given much attention to education from kindergarten to uni versity. Her people most generously approved. We can and we must do more. In this field of public service so universally significant, I modestly claim to have an experience that this Commonwealth may use to its full. I submit that among all the candidates we mas safely challenge comparison of records in all that makes for the conservation of childhood and the progress of intelligent citizenry. Lauds Republicanism "A party that has in a brief period RELIEF FROM DYSPEPSIA All conditions of depressed vitality tend to disturb the processes of diges tion. There is not a disturbed condi tion of life that may not affect diges tion. Few causes of indigestion are so common as thin, weak blood. It af fects directly and at once the great processes of nutrltton. Not only is the action of the gastric and Intestinal glands diminished but the muscular action of the stomach Is weakened. Nothing will more promptly restore the digestive efficiency than good red blood. Without It the normal activity of the stomach Is Impossible. Thin, pale people who complain of Indigestion must improve the condi tion of their blood to find relief. The most active blood-builder In such cases Is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They make rich, red blood which quickly restores the digestive organs to their proper activity and the first result Is hunger.
