F "There can he no healthy, beautiful, rosy- Cheeked women without Iron," says l)r. Ferdinand King, a New York physician and author. "In my recent talks to pliysi- Blans on the grave and perious consequences Of iron deficiency In the blood of American women, I have strong ly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more or ganic iron—pure nux- Rted iron—for their nervous, run - down, weak, haggard-looking women patients. X'al- lor means anemia. The skin of the anemic woman is pale, the Besh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they be come weak, netVous, irritable, flespondent and melancholy. Wlien the Iron goes from the blood of women, the rosea GO from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, . biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, ta- j pioca, sago, farina, degerml tiated cornmeal no longer Is' iron to be found. Refining processes ' have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these Impoverished foods, and Billy methods of home cook ery, by throwing down the ■waste pipe the water In which cur vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you 'wish to preservo your youthful vim and vigor to a ripo old age, you must supply the Iron de ficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use ealt when your food has not enough salt. "As I have said a hundred times over, organic Iron is the greatest of all •strength builders. If people would only throw away patent medicines and nau- seous concoctions and take Simple nuxated iron, I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might "be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver, heart trouble, etc. Tho real and true cause which Btarted their disease was nothing more nor less than weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron In the blood. "On account of the peculiar nature of %oman, and tho great drain placed upon her system at certain periods, she re quires iron much more than man to help piake up for the loss. "Iron Is also absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into Hiving tissue. Without it, no matter how much or Vhat you eat, your food merely passes through you without do ing you any good. You don't get the Btrength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pple and sickly look ins', Just like a plant trying to grow In fe soil deficient in iron.

Only one shot hit the deer and Morrow who saw and wounded It claimed that it was his shot that killed the deer. Justice Martin dismissed the case, but advised a division of the venison. I ed, C. E.

Hunsecker, ot Chambersburg, while on a stroll with hia gun along the Warm Sprifig road noticed a black snake protruding from a log. He shot the snake, which measured about 5% feet in length. Upon examining the reptile closely he noticed a large lump near its head. Pressing his foot near this, he was surprised to force from Iho snake's body a china egg, which it evidently had appropriated from a hen's nest. selves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper l'orm. And this, after they liad in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced Iron, Iron acetate, or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring: matter in the blood of her children is, alas! not that lund of iron. You must take Iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, other wise it may prove worse than useless. "I have used Nuxatea Iron widely In my own prac tice in most severe aggra vated conditions with un failing results.

Note to Presentation of Situation in Belgium Before Order Berlin, Dec. 11, via London, Dec. 12. —Germany's answer to the American note regarding the deportation of Bel gians is confined almost exclusively to a presentation of the situation in Belgium before the deportation order became effective. The note declares that there was urgent need of some kind of work for the Belgians because their idleness was causing demoraliza tion and says that tho deported work ers are assured of well being in new tsituations in Germany. The reply volunteers to permit Am erican diplomatic representatives to visit the workmen's camps and assure themselves that the Belgians are well off. It concludes with an expression of regret that the United States has never seen fit to protest against what it describes as the dragging off of Ger mans from East Prussia, Alsace and other places to Siberia and elsewhere. These actions of which it accuses the allies, are characterized in the reply as a severe violation of the laws of humanity. The note declares that the German government is convinced that the United States has been misin formed in regard to the measures which have been taken and says that the lack of work has increased until 1,250,000 are suffering and an unbear able situation is created. Nothing re mained, therefore the note continues, but to offer the workless situations in Germany since work l'or all was not on hand in Belgium. It is contended that the majority of those who have come to Germany are happy and con tented with high wages and increased personal liberties and that only those who prefer to loaf have been com pelled to work. Claim Measure Lawful The answer declares that the meas ure is entirely in accord with inter national law und cites Article 43 of The Hague convention which requires an invading government to maintain order. This, it is maintained, is pos sible ony in Belgium by providing that people who are able to work shall have opportunity to do so, and shall not fall a burden on charity. The note says that the measure has been car ried out without severity and with all possible consideration. Mistakes, it asserts, have rarely occurred and have been due in part to the fact that the Belgians themselves erred in making up the lists of those to be transported to Germany by including persons un affected by Governor-General Biss ing's order of May 15, 1916. The note goes on to say that Bel gians now working in Germany are engaged without exception in occupa tions permissible under international law, such as legitimate agricultural and industrial pursuits and that the German government regrets extremely that the situation has been completeiv misrepresented in the Unietd States by the "lying press of Germany's enemies." The German government, it is declared, in the interest of the Belgian population would also regret if the activities of the Belgian relief commission-were affected. Sixteen Killed and Many Hurt in Deportation Riot Amsterdam, via London, Dec. 12. Sixteen persons were killed and sev eral mortally wounded in a riot at Tourcoing on the occasion of the de portation of 300 civilians by the Ger mans according to the Echo Beige. The paper says that the riot started when one ol the men ordered deported was struck on the head with a rifle butt by a German soldier because lie did not walk fast enough. There upon the crowd of spectators rushed at the soldier and a general melee fol lowed, the German troops using their rifles. The account says that a squad ron of cavalry had to charge the crowd before order was restored and that fifty arrests were made subse quently. Sanders Praises the World Bird Treaties "American citizens should be grate ful that two great governments have recently signed a treaty of far-reach ing \alue to the American farmer, K rower and natural lover,' Zoologist J. G. Sanders said todav. "Nearly one billion dollars loss "each year credited to the hordes of insect pests may now be materially reduced through the neV treaty between Canada and the United States for the protection of migratory beneficial birds during their nesting seasons and periods of migration. "This ten-year treaty classilles the various groups and places a close sea ion on migratory insectivorous hirdf throughout the year; on migratory game birds between March 10th and September Ist, with certain stipulated variations; and on migratory non ganie birds throughout the year ex cept that Eskimos and Indians may take certain kinds for food and cloth ing only. "The rapidly disappearing eider duck and wood duck are to receive special protection for five years. "The ratification of this unique treaty by the United States Senate re sulted from tha efforts of bird lovers everywhere, but it is especially as cribed to the tactful work of Senator George P. McLean of Connecticut, the champion of our bird life in Con gress."
