W ILL it say danger . . . fail ure ahead? Will it show you that your loss of ambition, your loss of energy, of vitality, is due to Anemia . . . blood starva tion ?

For thirty-two years, physicians have prescribed Gude’s Pepto- Mangan. Its rich iron and-iram» ganese content is the sure way and the safe way to regain health. Yourdruggist has Gude’s Pepto- Mangan in either liquid or tablet form. Gude’s pepto-Mangan Tonic and Blood Enricher Washington.— Following months of continuous complaint from all parts of the country that prohibition is falling to accomplish Its purpose, the federal government has decided to prosecute violations to the limit. From now on, a bootlegger's custom er will he just as much an object of federal enforcement as th& . .booUeg- ger. This decision, announced by Mrs Mabel Walker Wlllebrandt, assistant attorney general in charge of prohi bition prosecution, recently, brings into reach of the law countless thou sands of purchasers of bootleg liquor who have heretofore considered them selves immune under the Volstead act. For two years the dry forces, as rep resented by the Anti -. Saloon league and other agencies, have been flght- ir.g to have the courts recognize the | equal guilt of the buyer of booze along with the sellers. This new Interpretation by Mrs. Wlllebrandt, which will bring the prohibition law home to those who halve flaunted the law without fear of consequences, is not based upon the Volstead act. Prosecution will be based upon Section 117 of the United States criminal code, wherein a max imum penalty of two years' Imprison ment and $KX00') fine is provided for those who conspire to violate the laws of the land. Hootleg liquor pur chasers will be prosecuted as having entered Into a conspiracy to violate the laws. . T The conspiracy charge will only !>e applied to. steady customers of boot leggers Small violators will be pros ecuted under the Volstead act, prob ably on a possession charge. The conspiracy charge will only he applied to steady customers of boot- IwRgers—Small violators will be pros ecuted under the Volstead act, prob ably on a possession charge. This distinction. It Is pointed out, is necessary to hang thq conspiracy charge on a violator is the bootleg ger's note book i and correspondence, which hooks up.\he patrons with"the salesman's illicit activities.

Oregon.—Loss estimated at about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was caused by a flood at Vale and surrounding country in the Mai- j drlVe probably wlU stan(1 hour river valley and along Bully creek, when the Bully creek irrigation darn. 19 miles west of here, gave way.

SERUM FOR STRICKEN NOME Halp Reaches Hospital With Antitoxin For Relief Of Inmates Stricken With Diphtheria r Nome. Alaska—Bringing to diphthe rla-stricken Nome the vital antitoxin expected to save the entire white col ony here from death, Gunnar Kasson arrived, riding into the city behind 15 dogs which had covered the last lap of a race with death from Nenana, a race that will take its place among the great epics of the frozen north. The last stage of the dash was made through a blinding blizzard, which had brought fears to this city that the gallant musher and his precious 300,- 000 units of serum might be lost, as he was on the verge of success. A whole week was consumed in making the trip. The antitoxin was rhlpped by rail from Anchorage to Nenana, where dog teams picked it Up. Running in relays, the dog teams -carried the serum over 650 miles of wind-swept trail to Nome. Gunnar Kasson had relieved Leon ard Seppalla. Roth men are among the most famous mushers of the north. Kasson was virtually sheathed In Ice and he unclencshed his bleeding hands from the sled handles with difficulty. Ice masked the reaving flanks, of his malamutes as they dropped in the snow after their record run against death. The antitoxin, strapped in a bundle weighing scarcely twenty pounds, was unlashed from the sled and rushed Into the hospital. It was necessary to.cut the frozen ropes with axes. Men stared at the precious stuff as it was turned over to Doctor Curtis Welch, government physician. To the inhabitants of Nome the serum Is more precious than all the gold taken from tbe sands of the beach in the gold rush days. Record upon record, established by the famous dog derbies, major sport of the territory, has fallen as the. hardy mushers and their prize-win ning huskies have plunged through snow and sleet, surmounting difficul ties which would down all but super- tien and super-beasts. The antitoxin was packed at the government hospital at Anchorage. January 27, and shipped by train to Nenana, following receipts of mes sages telling of Nome’s perilous plight. January 27 at 8 p. m. It arrived at Nenana. William Shannon tpok It In charge and mushed 60 miles to Tolovana. There at 7:30 a. m.. January 28, Shannon, after an all night drive, turned over the serum to Jim Kalland, one of the most famous of Alaskan mushers. In an instant he and his dogs were speeding away In the arc tic twilight for |Iot Springs, sixty-five miles distant. Kalland reached Hot Springs at 4:45 o’clock/tttat same day. His hands and nose /were badly frost-bitten. The i time jta-^which he made his famous for years unbeaten. NEW SALARY BILL DRAWN BY HOUSE COMMITTEE IGNORES COMPRO MISE AND SHOWS SPEED WITH NEW POSTAL ACT $60,000,000 WILL BE ADDED Washington.—The house concurred j recantly in the senate disarmament amendment tc the navy appropriation bili, but Insisted on a slight modlfica* ’.ion of its language “Tor. amendment, originally propos- : ed by Senator King (Derm) of Utah — j was changed to read that the presi- Will Increase Second Class Rates In j l » ent be •'requested” to invite other Zones 1, 2 And 3 To 3 Cents A Pound—Limit Of 8 Oz. 3d Class Washington Ignoring the Moses compromise bill passed by the senate, the house postofflee committee has re ported out a new salary rate increase hill, which carries with It rate In creases enough to meet tho presi dent's approval. Working with amazing speed, the committee drafted a bill \vhich It is estimated will provide $60,000,060 in additional revenue. Tire salary in crease amounts to $68,000,000. The house bill calls for the follow ing changes. 1. Increase in second class rates in zones 1, 2 and 3 to 3 cent* a pound. This, it is estimated, will bring in an additional $4,290,000. 2. A limit of X ounces on third class matter. It is believed that this will $'ield $18,000,000 more. 3. A service fee of 2 cents for j>arcel post packages in addition to regular charges. This is estimated to yield $15,000,000. 4. A special “expedition” charge of 25 cents on registered letters. 5. The rate on postal cards raised to 2 cents. In the new measure the salaries in- >- crease would be retroactive, to Jan uary 1, 1925, instead of July 1, 1924. The rate Increases would make the bill acceptable to ITesident Coolidgo, Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania, champion of the bill, declared. A provision was inserted in the bill creating a commlslon of the house and senate to study the general postal rate structure. The rate increases as contained in the new bill have already brought pro tests from newspaper publishers.

This alteration, made at the sugges tlon of Representative French (Rep ) of Idaho, in charge of the bill, pre vented complete adoption by the house of the conference report already ap proved by the senate.

H . navy yard; another allotment of $751,000 for ad ditional naval/ hospital facilities, and one which would prohibit a naval or marine corps officer while on leave of absence from receiving pay or ab lowances for a period in excess of that for which he Is entitled to full pay, unless the president otherwise di rects. . 4 Bill Wou'd Annuli Childless Unions Lincoln, Nebr.—A bill proposing that marriage may be annulled, If there are no children after three ! years, provided l>oth husband and wife are not impotent, has been intro duced in (he house by Representative Hines, Democrat.
