RUSSIA READY FOR INVASION, SPEAKER SAYS Soviet Military Training Is Heaviest in Europe, He Asserts. • . “If and when Japan attacks, she will find Russia able and ready to present a far stronger defense of her eastern borders than in the debacle of 1905," according to Dr. Ethan Colton, noted authority on the Soviet regime, who addressed the Rotary Club at the Claypool today at noon. Dr. Colton expressed the opinion, however, that the war would not come in the immediate future and suggested that much of the newspaper talk on the subject would subside when congress has passed new legislation authorizing substantial increases in the armament of the United States navy. Dr. Colton stated that “Russia will not attack Japan,” but pointed out that militarization of the people has been far more extensive in the U. S. S R. than in any other European nation. "Two hundred and fifty thousand women in military training camps receiving experience more thorough than our national guard rookies receive, and sixty women in the Russian war college, as well as boys 12 years old receiving intensive army training, testify to the length which Russia is going for preparedness,” said the speaker. Dr. Colton expressed the opinion that while the Soviets had some magnificent achievements to their credit, nevertheless, the experiment had not. as yet, progressed sufficiently to warrant any other nation considering following in their tracks. "Slight if any improvement in the living conditions of the average Russian had been achieved by the Bolsheviks.” said Dr. Colton. This he attributed to the fact that to bring the five-year plan to fruition, the Russians had been forced to expend their chief efforts on capital industry. Greatest single achievement of the Communist regime he considers the vast betterment in social conditions through education, improvement of health conditions and medical care which is far more advanced than during the Romanoff regime. Dr. Colton referred to the Russian leadership as containing able men, but none comparable in stature or ability to Lenin.

"Two things I wanted- “... more strength and a clear skin.” It is well to remember that a probable reason why you do not have red lips, rosy cheeks, a clear skin, good health, energy and cheerfulness is that your blood is in a run-down condition. Lack of hemo-glo-bin, the red-coloring of the blood, may also cause a weakened condition of the body .*.. loss of strength ... poor appetite. Neglect of diet, worry, overwork, colds or sickness, frequently break down and retard the natural development of the red-blood-cells and their oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin. Why not set in motion the rebuilding of these precious blood-cells instead of procrastinating and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling of being well and fit? If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, try S.S.S. It is not just a so-called tonic but a tonic specially designed to stimulate gastric secretions, and also having the mineral elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood. Unless your case is exceptional, you should soon notice a pick-up in your appetite... your color and skin should improve with increased strength and energy. S.S.S. is truly a blood and body tonic. Its value has been proven by generations of use, as well as by modern scientific appraisal. You will find S.S.S. at all drue stores in two sizes... the larger is more economical. £ Tbes.s.s.Co.
