Brunswick Phonographs MORE RED BLOOD AND SItSTI NERVES EOR RUN DOWN PEOPLE, The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous, Keen-Minded, Men and Women It has been said of Americans that they work their habits overtime. Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork. By worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body of needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alcoholic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women lit to be of help to themselves and others, It is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid excesses.

' FROST PROOF CORN CROWN BY INDIANS. Maize, or Indian corn, in its present form, represents one of the great achievements of primitive planters, the North Amei'iian Indian, ..< Robert H. Moulton, in an illustrated article in the June Popular .Mechanics ; magazine. It came orlgnally, it is (now gnerally accepted, from southern Mexico, and was eaten ty the Mnya I tribes. At first, it was nothing but a i coarse grass on which were tiny ears resembling the top of the w!»-at [stalk. Tlie plant is essentially tropi- . | cal and. despite centurbs cf culture n the temperate zone, is still sensitive |to frost. The tribes of North America saw the possibilities of the grain and hast- , ened Its evolution. There has been crossbreeding by white farmers, yet, as a matter or fact, the coni culture of the present day is practcially as it came from the hand of the Indian. He . has adapted and modified it to various sections of the country by a I roc-ess of careful selection. Recently it occurred to some scientists that despile the drawback of the weather the Mandan Indians of tho were raising corn. An expedition made a study of the agricultural methods of the Mandans, and it developed that for centuries the farmers of the trlbi s had been developing a hardy corn The seed had been selected from year to year from stalks which showed no effet of frost.

UNCLE SAM ON JOB ** (United Press Service) Indianapolis, May 16—Uncle Sam is gradually sprading his net of Justice over Bolshevist agitators in Indiana it became known today. In every community where the head of anarchy had poked its head above the surface or where anti-government demonstrations have been planned federal operatives have been on the job. Cooperation of city authorites has furthered the work of the government agents and it was said authoritatively today that Bolshevism has not gained a firm foothold in the state. At the same time however, the people were warned not to succumb to the doctrines advanced by sneakers. A federal agent r#« at r inton diving the recent labor agitation down there when it became necessary to declare martial law. It was thought that Bolshevism was involved in that trouble. Among the large number of foreign born residents of Lake county, federal officials see a fertile field for the seeds of anarchy because of the lack I of education of thousands of these people.
