Ills fears proved to be groundless, as the adult population showed keen interest, but were not demonstrative The chil dren, however, mado cutting remarks about England, and would gladly havo done us Injury had they been permitted. After nearly an hour's marching wo ai rlved at a largo cemetery, around which we wero paraded for fifteen or twenty minutes. This form of amusement evi dently appealed to tho German rense of humor. We. however, tool: a great deal lot satisfaction out of tho Bight of tho thousands ot little white crosses which marked the graves of tho Germans who had died in military hospitals In Col ogne When wo arrived back at tho hos pital I overheard tho following conver sation between a Tommy who had been out and ono of his less fortunate friends: "Where did thoy Uko ih. Ulll?" "They tools us to a bleedln' ccrao- tery." "Teh don t say bo." "Yte. but the bllnkln thing was chuck full of boches." "Good egg. After Oils the German felt fright oned at what they had done, and vre wero not allowed out again for a montlu Wo had many Interviews with tho In spector and mado ourselves eo objection able that. In order to gain peace, tho walks were resumed, but at Irregular Interv als. During sev en months we w ere only allowed out ot the hospital four times. After the first walk tlio ofllccrs were given the privilege of going alono with a German officer and a guard. They refused to let us glvo our parolo and there was nearly always a greater num ber of sentries than prisoners. Try as no might, wo could never again get permission to havo a carriage for Mondle, and wo wero refused tho privilege of visiting tho famous cathe dral on tho ground that thero v? era for tifications nearby when we should not see. we were usually taken around tho rtlngstrasse, tho main street of Cologne, which runs In a semicircle through tlio city, commencing at one point on the Khlno and finishing at another a mile or two further down. On ono occasion we went ta tho Htadtwald, wheh Is a beautiful park on the outskirts cf the city. It was raining and wo asked the officer In chargi If we might go Into .1 small restaurant nearby and order some thing to eat vvhllo wo waited for tho rain to stop. As wo upproachod the restaurant wo snw a German officer sitting with a lady on tho balcony. He sneered at us and turned his bade On h'.s account we wero not allowed Inside, but wero obliged to sit out In the rain at a llttlo Iron tablo while wo drank a cup of very bad coffee w thout cream oral swoetcned wltli saccharine Wo wero Just two the French captain and myself. Tho officer tn c-iarge and the sentries avoided us while wn sat there. as It we had been a couple ot lepers. Wo cursed the whole' German army and hoped some day to bo given tho Jcy ot commanding a camp full of Qerman prisoners. Wo wero more fortunato than tho men who, on each of four walks wo wero allowed to take, wero con ducted to a different cemetery Thoy say that variety Is the pplco of life. If taking n man to a different cemetery each time ho goes for a walk consti tutes variety, then theso men certainly led a spicy existence. Another privilege vo considered our Eclves entitled to was tho uso of tho small balcony overlooking tlio htrcet. Wo oflUicrs had no placo given us vi hero wo could bo nlono and tako a llttlo cerclse. Though not of a grasp ing disposition, when wo thought ot tho llfo of ease led bj the German officers In Hnsland, we decided to do 111 and ever thing it was posslblo to get both for ourselves and tlio men. Wo vi ere advised that an oltlclil application to the Governor of Cologno nji neces sary. This was made out In writing and signed by ui all. After nearly two months of waiting, permission to uso tho balcony was given. During this period wo had a visit from Mr. Jackson, the American Ambassa dor's secretary, to whom wo complained about tho delay to our application. Tho Inspector, who was present, was greatly annoyed nt this complaint, which, however, had tho desired result of hurry ing up a decision. very flno day after that wo moved chairs outside and sat tn tho sun or walked slowly up and down to get back somo of tho strength we had lost through months of Idleness. Tlio people In tho street would often stop to stare at tho caged animals pacing up and down In tho Inclosuro In front of tliolr aen. bometimes thero would bo a new sentry at the gate who would look up ana discover us and yell "Los," pro nounced "Xooso," and meaning 'Got out." Wo would lean over tho balcony and laugh at him. whllo ho went tn frothing with rago to report us only to uiscover toat tho balcony was not "vcr boten." Of course, up to this tlmo we had tho run of the courtard In which wo religiously trlod to take cxerclso every day, but thero wns such a crowd that v.o were continually bumping Into men and Jarring our Injured members until flnnllv WA l-mn If lit. Tho men wero a'lowcd to stay In fno couriyaru tin 8 o'clock in summer and 7 o'clock In winter, and according to tho season or tho ar tlicy had to bo In bed by 9 or 8 o'clock. As daylight pav ing was In vogue, tho lights wero seldom turned on In tho tnen'i wardi. but. tho otllcera wero not obliged to tetlro teforo ten. After tho evenlnir meal tho men wnnM often gather In a circle In tho c-ourtjard round a man pluj Ing a mouth organ and Indulge In a little "closo harmony." This crowu would usually bo swelled by musi cally Incllnod Frenchmen and Itustlans, Walking anU Hallam considered them- tclvcs second only to Caruso nnd John McCormack nnd led tho singing. ..These entertainments aiwajs started well, but hail a weak finish.

CONTINUED TOMORROW Nn of tho mistakes moat commonly made In treating anemia ts to de pend upon a milk diet. Now, a person suffering from anemia on a milk diet for three months will havo more anemia than when ho began. And why? Xlo cause milk contains no Iron; nlmost no Iron at nil. Wo must havo Iron to build up the blood. We don't want chemical Iron, such as one finds In crowbars and hlnglo nails; that won't build up tho blood. The only thing that will build up the blood It Iron that Is vitalized, organized, ai we find It In food; as wo find It In lettuce. In spinach, In green or fresh vegetables particularly. And also as we find It In larco amounts In oatmeal and In wheat, nnd to somo degree In rice. Now, milk contains almost no Iron nt all. You y It la very singular. Does -ot the young Infant need Iron? Cer tainly, but tho remnrkahlo thing which the physiologists have found out In re- "ent earn la that when n baby Is born ,lt has stored up In Its liver all tho Iron .It needs for soveral months, All the I Iron It needs for two or three months 1 Is already stored up In that baby's liver; so It does not need to add iron, ana that Is the reason why milk docs not contMn It A very trod reason. Isn't it? Now, when a grown man has used up his etore of Iron in the liver, and he depends upon his dally food. Just ns n laboring man dependn upon his dally wagn, he must havo his quotn of Iron every day; he 'must have his doso of Iron: he must get It in his food. But If he Uvea on .1 d'et of milk ho Is certain I to tiecomo anemic. I The beat way to build up the blood I Is to take Into the body those food" (which are rich In blood-making mate I rials As th blood ts made nf w'iM w eat. It Is evident that If too small u 1 ouantltv of nutr'tlve material In Intro duced Into the h'ond tin elements will bo deficient Deficiency of light and of pure nlr may Teo b hiatly mentioned . as common causes of anemia. This Is (very clearly shown by tho great fre nutney of the disease among milliners f'ctory operatives and other3 who are much excluded from tho sunshlno and oW'red to breatha Impure air Intestinal autointoxication Is probably the most common of all causes of chronic anemia. Prolonged nursing in women. sexual exccsien In either ser, serious hemorrhage and numerous forms of dis ease nre frequent causes of anemia Hook worms and other parasites are a common cause of anemia In most coun tries, and especially in Kgypt. where n pecu'lar animal prnslte Infests tho small Intestines ot Individuals. Ch'onla dyspepsia Is one of the most 1 frequent of all causes of anemia. A person cannot be a d "peptic for any length of time without becoming to a greater or leea degree anemic. If the cause of the anemia Is dis- pepsla, this must receive attention: If Intestinal parasites, they must he dis lodged; If prolonged nursing, nursing must be Interdicted: if too little food, a larger quantity of nourishing, wholesome food must be emplojed. The mistake must not be made, however, that by good food Is meant what Is usua'ly termed rich food or a stimulating diet Neither should u large quantity of ani mal food be taken, espec'ally when the digestive organs urn Impaired, a fact which Is seldom observed. The diet must be strictly antitoxic nnd tho bowels must be made to movo three or four times a day. A careful course of phjslcat training la essential as a means of securing per fect tecovary tn cases ot chronic anemia due to Indigestion, or any other serious disturbance of the nutritive processes.

(CoprrliM) THU United Mates lion been at war for something over seven months. In an unbelievably short ncrlod nftcr tho declaration of hotdlllllea tho reality of war tamo homo to us. It came to us with a bang when tho streets began to Oil with khaki, and tho bang was empha sized when tho call camo for women, hundreds of thousands of them, to till tho labor displacement mado by tho men leaving for tho front nnd for tho training canm. Women, who in tho past had been as signed to tho rather negligible rolo of weeping nnd walling, becamo vital fac tors In tho actual protccutlon ot tho war. There has been much talk In conse quence of vvhnt this war Is going f do for women. Much of this Is epeculathe. but n subject that can bo handled with romo deflnllcnrss In view of tho last rev en months' is what tho women havo dono for tho war. Tho Federal Labor Bureau nt 133 South Third street has mado u six rronths' rurvey of labor conditions In and around 1'hll.adelphla, paying partlc ular nttontlon to wnr emergency work and woman's part In It. Dig outstanding facta ot that turvcy are; At IcaBt 100 per cent more women aro emplojed now than wero nt tho outset of the wnr. Many fle'ds hitherto not regarded ns woman's havo been opened to femalo labor, but tho greatest demand for women Is still In Uioeo Industries that alwaya have employed them. Jobs thero arc for all, but tho advance In wages hai been but slight. The giving out of pleco work to he deno In the homo has been reduced to a minimum. The servant, racept tho specialist who goes Into tho homo of tlio very rich. Is almost nn extinct nieclcss. Tho foreign woman Is preferred over tho native-born American for heavy phvslcal work. Women who want to do even thing under tho sun havo nppllcd to tho Fed eral Dureau, according to the agent In charge of the women's division, nnd the cases In which they havo been hen' away sro few, Hvcn tho art student who de sired to loin a camouflago conn had h-i activities turned Into the proper channel. ill spuo or tho fact that factories nro running full speed tho , "Help wanted" signs havo not been taken In. Hosiery, underwear, uniforms, bedsack Ing, hortio blankets, airplanes aro somo 1 of tho articles that women who can sow and operato sewing and weaving ma chinery uro making and aro wanted tor. Mililcd workers draw- from $18 to 52B v eckly. A fow women havo been known to speed up to tho $30 mark. Learners aro paid, usually not lets thtn 0 a week, somctlmen more. The demand lor women office workers has shot far ahead of tho supply and many Arms which never beforo had petticoats In their oftlco personnel havo broken their established rule Tho fe malo ticket neller and bank emploje aro' already familiar to us. Hut the ilrms which havo engaged women for heavy phjslcal work are the exceptions. Thero arc a few women running elevators, a very few in tho machine shops, and tho Pittsburgh dlvl blon of tha Tennsjlvanla Itallroad haa a gang of women sweeping tracks, n, tho main, however, tho great demand for women has been 0:1 Jobs that aro not physically ta.lng. According to tho e-tpertenco of tho 1 1 eaerai i,aooi uurcau. the Pcnnsvlvanla farmer, although his need Is great, does not tako to tho Idea of ciuplojlng fejnalo laborers on his farm, l'emale berry pickers aro of course acceptable In season, but tho ngrlculturlst of this btato has thus far shown no faith In woman's ability to provo herself in tho exhausting all-round work of a rush leason. 'this prejudice, ncrhans well. By M'LISS founded, rnnnleil u lib the labor shortage, la expected to produco nn ocuto Eltua Hon noxt spring. lteccntly n plpo factory In York en gaged In making heavy pipes for carry ing oil, decided to try out women, but In Its request to tho federal Uurcau for help It fcpcclfled particularly that Its nod wns for husky foreign women. Tho native-born American woman Is not re garded by emplojera ns suitable tnf tctlnl for wont ri quiring much brawn. musclo and phjslcal endurance. Tho fccrvant question, onco of such supremo Importanco to women, has taken second placo In tho woman and labor problem. Families of avcrago In como havo ceased to o'nmor for u "gen eral houseworkei"' They havo nt last realized that tho species is nil but ex tinct. Tho servant class, numerically (.peak ing, has been reduced to n minimum. A few born domestics still remain, but thcto demand such exorbitant wages that they are avnllablo only to tho very rich. A super-cook can set her $25 or $30 a week. OtherB nek $15 nnd find little difficulty In getting It. Fami'les who havo alnajs been tervanl-keeplng have got down to doing their own work or having u specialist In several times a week nnd P ij Ing her bj tho hour. Girls who formerly beromo domestics becauso that was tho only nvcnuo open to unskilled labor, now go to tho fac tories nnd becomo learners. In n little whllo they aro skilled and put on piece work. It's an aIoni of tho Federal Bureau that "onco a factorj' hand nlwaj's a fac tors hand" A domestic who goes Into factory work seldom If ever reverts to her former work, o that the tervant question maj- bo expected to break out with even greater virulence after the war than before, and add Its pioblcm to tho turmoil that It Is predicted will re sult when thousands of r-oldlcrs letuin clamoring for Jobs held by vvomon.
