McCANN CHAPTER 190 Standard head rice is not a substi tute for the potato, In the place of •which It is recommended by riee bul letins issued for free distribution among the people—Head riee, lucking in salts, is expensive at any priee>— the potato, rich in salts, is cheap at any price—Natural brown rice is a perfect substitute for the potato. • The organized movement now active in all parts of the United States to popularize rice and hominy sub stitute for potatoes threatens, unless checked, to work a groat evil among the people. If successful this vigor ous effort to inspire an increased con sumption ot" these denatured products cannot fail to set up another bad hatit among the poor and start them moving in the direction of still great er quantities of foodless foods. In a "rice bulletin,'' of which one • million were issued for free distri bution, February 26", 1917, the follow ing statement was made: "Rice contains more strength-giv iing material than potatoes. Potatoes are three-fourths water, while rice contains practically no water." The facts are that evaporated or dehydrated potatoes, of the kind we have been shipping through Sweden to Germany and through England into France, contain but 7.1 per cent, water, as contrasted with 72.5 per cent, water in boiled rice. The same potatoes contain 8.5 per cent, protein, as against 2.8 per cent, protein in boiled rice. The same potatoes con- I tain 80.9 per cent, starch, as against 24.4 per cent, starch in boiled rice. It is thus easy, as you see, to twist figures to make them appear to mean just the reverse of what they really do mean. Rice is not consumed raw. When lioiied it contains as much water as the potato and about the same quan tity of starch and protein. The two dishes, when set upon the dinner table ready for consumption, are almost Identical as fat - as starch, protein and H every package pi and on every tablet of Genuine p Aspirin protects || you against all || A substitutes. 1 i /T\ r° ok K" ne r Bayer VM M teAYEfd Cross—Your Guaran i \£/ lee of Purity" fflgl f WA Sold in Pochoi Boxta of 12.

Administration of Nuxated Iron in Clinical Tests Gives Most Astonishing Y p ut h f ul Strength and Makes Women Look Years Younger. •lhere cnn he no henltliy, beautiful, ( , , ~ . . ..... O• rosy cheeked women ulthout iron," says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Phy sician and Medical Author. "In my re cent talks to physicians on the grave and serious consequences of iron de ficiency in the blood of American wom en, I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more or ganic iron—nuxated iron—for their nervous, run-down, weak, haggard looking women patients. Tailor means anaemia. The skin of tiip anaemic wom an is pale, the flesh flabby. The mus cles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheecks. In the most common foods of Ameri ca, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice) white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spag hetti, tapioca, sago, farina, degerminat ed cornmeal, no longer is lion to be found. Ketining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these im poverished foods, and yilly methods of home cookery, by throwing; down the waste pipei the water in which ourl vegetables are cooked," are responsible for an other grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve ytjur youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron. Just as you would use salt 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 take Nux ated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead or dosing them selves with habit forming drugs, stimulants and alcholic bever ages 1 am convinced that in this way they could ward on disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases, and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, kldney.j liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and truo cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on fey lack of iron in the * blood. "On account of the peculiar nature of wotnan. and the great drain placed upon • her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than fnrln to help make up for the loss. TUESDAY EVENING, water are concerned. But here the re semblance ends. Rice of the kind described in the bulletin is not a substitute ror the potato. The potato contains six times as much calcium, twenty times as much phosphorus and five times as much iron as head rice. The rice bulletin says, "Starch gives strength to the body. Rice contains so much more starch than potatoes that it is therefore much better as a strength-giving food." Starch is not only not a strength giving food, but, in the absence of the calcium, and iron found so abundantly in tne potato, it becomes worthless as a food. In fact, it will not only not support life but will ac tually hasten the upproacli of death. "Buy standard grade of head rice," says the bulletin. Standard grade head rice is polished rice, denatured rice, rice robbed of the very elements most essential to normal nutrition. Because it is known that standard grade head rice is deficient in thes? elements the army and navy of Japan forbid its use by tho Japanese soldiers and sailors. For the same reason the United States government forbids its use in the hospitals, prisons, and workshops of our insular possessions. There are hundreds of experiments now on record demonstrating this fact. The latest bulletin on the subject was issued by the United States Public Health Service, April, 191ti. The di tors and publishers of bulletins de signed to influence the dietary habits of the American people should at least know of the existence of thesft facts whether they quote them for the enlightenment of their readers or no. • It costs a lot of money to mill standard grade head rice. It costs but one-sixth as much to mill natural brown rice, concerning which the bul letin is silent. Congress has recently witnessed a few amiable but futile discussions concerning the advisability of estab lishing a food dictator in the \United States. Natural brown rice is now difficult Iron is also absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it. no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you be come weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient In iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspep sia. liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without ohtaining any bene fit. But don't take tile old forms of re duced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of MI if ilff - 9 Dr. Ferdinand King, New York physician and author, tells physicians that they should prescribe more organic iron—Nutated Iron— for their patients—Says anaemia—iron de ficiency—is the greatest curse to the health, strength, vitality and beauty of the modern I ■American Woman.—Sounds warning against use of metallic iron uhich\ n ~ X e may injure the teeth, cor rode the stomach and do far more harm than good; advises use of only nux ated iron. j to obtain outside the grocery depart- I ments of department stores in New ■ York City and Chicago. If a food dlc , tator ordered the use of natural brown rice the rice mills would supply it at I prices much less than those now quot -led for standard grade head rice. The mills would not like to forego the profits of milling the brown rice to ; make it white. But they would obey orders, and if the people once learned i the taste of natural brown rice they j would never go back to head rice, j All head rice is derived from nat ! Ural brown rice. There is no other 1 kind of rice. It is by removing the pericarp and germ, containing the very vitals of the natural brown rice kernel, that we obtain the denatured product known as head rice. March 11, 1917, new regulations be came operative in France forbidding the use of white fresh bread, substi tuting whole meal bread in its place. There is no more reason for accepting the truth in France fhan in America. Educators and men prominent in pub lic life should keep pace with truth where (he fundamentals of nutri tion are concerned. What the people want now is cheap, wholesome, adequate food. Any pub . lie policy which emphasizes the iin , portance of cheapness and ignores the , i factors of wholesomeness and ade quacy is a dangerous public policy. If the present tense situation. . which, as, respects the. quantities of , foodstuffs in the United States" still t available, is not so tense as it ap . pears on the surface, assists the gen eral public to an understanding of the , fact that standard head rice is not, L and never can be, a substitute for 'the old-fashioned, commonplace, but j noble potato, we can well afford to j | bear with patience the present high prices asked for the benevolent tuber. ' These high prices are already on the . decline, and will soon be back to nor mal. BRIDE OF PEW MONTHS SKKKS DIV BIUDK SEEKS DIVORCES ! Uniontown, Pa., March 2".—Miss Ge'r ( trude K.

SEW PARTY FOR PEACE By Associated Fr'ess Copenhagen. March 27.—The Radical Socialist organization in Germany, which after having been read out of the regular Socialist ranks, now is forminar a new party, has issued a pro gram as a Reichstag resolution. The program demands, among other things, a speedy peace and no annexations by any of the belligerents. the red coloring matter in the blood of iter children is, alas: not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.

Unlike the older inorganic iron products it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset tnc stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of Indigestion as well as for nervous, run down conditions.
