Duty Demands
Robust Health
Fight to get it and keep it
Fight—fight day in and day out to
prevent being overtaken by ills and
alls. Keep wrinkles from marring i
the cheek and the body from losing j
lis youthful appearance and buoy- j
ancy. I'ight when ill-health is com- j
ing with its pallor and pains, defects j
and declining powers. Fight to stay
Its course and drive it off.
But flght intelligently. Don't fight
without weapons that can win the
day, for without the intelligent use j
of effective weapons the pallor j
spreads and weakness grows and a j
seemingly strong man or woman oft
times becomes a prey to l'.ls after all. ,
You will not find this class of per- j
sons in the liypoferrin ranks. No
•4 unhealthy, dull, draggy, droopy per
sons in that line. It is a hale, hearty, j
robust aggregation of quick-steppers
who view life in a joyous frame of
mind and are mentally and physically !
equal to any emergency. Hypoferrin |
stands for sound body and sound j
mind —it is the invigorating tonic of 1
the times —powerful and unsurpassed ;
as a health restorer, vitalirer and!
health preserver. Fight to hold the |
vigor of a sound body with hypo-1
forrin or to stay the process of decay ;
and restore health and strength—you
win. This tonic of amazing, wonder- i
working properties has been ap-1
•proved by physicians as a restorer i
and safeguatd of health. It Is a
-thoroughly scientific preparation of [
th® very elements necessary to tone |
iip the stomach and nerves, to build,
strong, vital tissue, make pure blood, j
firm flesh and solid, active, tireless I
muscles.
Hypoferrin contains those mighty i
strength-producing agents, lecithin- i
and-lron peptonate, in a form best
adapted to benefit the body and lt
organs. Its ingredients are absolute- j
ljr necessary to the blood. In nine
oases out of ten a run-down condl-1
tlon. sallow, pale complexions that
"all in" feeling and fratl bodies are
due to lack of lecithln-and-lron pep
tonate in the system.
Tour me.ntal and physical strength
and endurance depends upon a
leclthln-an-lron peptonate laden
tdood; steady, dependable nerves and
a healthy stomach. With these you
can meet life at any angle.
This wonder tonic, hypoferrin,
which is as perfect as science can
get to nature, meets every essential
demand of the human organism. It |
Is safe and sure and a boon to run
down. worn-out men and women. ;
Hypoferrin means nature's own way !
of bringing color to the cheeks, ;
strength to the body ahd keeping
the vigor and buoyancy of youth. The j
powder and paint way of effecting (
beauty is not needed by hypoferrin |
women and girls. Their blood, filled
with nature's beauty stores, creates
conditions that give firmness and :
grace to the body and the glow of
health to the cheeks.
No need of going through life sick- |
Iv and always feeling miserable In '
this age of medical science. Join \
the hypoferrin ranks. It puts Into I
you the springy snap and vigor you
ought to have and puts life Into your
body and mind that Inspires the con
fidence that you confront the world ;
on an equal footing with anyone.

nounces that Leon Trotsky, the 801,

\ to all the allied embassies and lega

I that the armistice negotiations with

pended for a week at the Initiative
| of the Russian delegation for the
purpose of providing opportunity of
I informing the peoples and the gov

existence of such negotiations and
tlieir tendency.
The note adds that the armistice
will be signed only on condition that
troops will not be transferred from
one front to another and that Ger

ally indicates the points of the ne
gotiations in accordance with the

"The period of delay thus given
even in the existing disturbance con

allied governments 'opportunity to
define their attitude toward the

lingness or refusal to participate in

"In case of refusal they must de

Thursday.
The correspondent adds that the
uneasiness of British citizens in Rus
sia is increasing daily and that the
consulate in Petrograd is crowded
with persons asking protection and
advice. Official protection, however,
he says, counts for nothing as an at
tempt to exercise it probably will in
crease the danger.
Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki for
eign minister, late last month de
manded that the British government
release Tchitcherin and Petroff, as
well as others under arrest in Eng
land. Later it was announced in!
Petrograd that Tchitcherin had been j

cessful specialist in catarrh is the dis
coverer of a pleasant, direct method
that can be used by man, woman or

His Remedy is not an ointment,
spray, salve, pill or tablet, but is
made from medicinal herbs, flowers
and berries, which you smoke in a
dainty pipe or cigarette, and inhale
the vapor into all the air passages.
It contains no tobacco, even though
it is used in the same manner.
