CONSIDERED BY COMMITTEE.
Danish West Indies Matter in the
 f Senate.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The treaty with the government of Denmark for the ces- sion of the West Indian Islands owned by the country to the United States to- hands, of the Senate Committee on For eign Relations The Committee adjourn ed without taking action.
 This postponement of action was not due to opposition tu the treaty but rather to desire on the part of members to secure from the State Department all the information obtainable concerning the resources of the islands and the ad- vantages to be secured by the control of the United States. s''
 All members of the Committee present. including several Democrats, expressed themselves as of the opinion that the possession of the islands would be an advantage to this country from a stra- P There was some dfscussfon as t6 the effect of the treaty upon the inhabitants of the West Indies but this apparently was settled by the conclusion that any resident of the island could maintain his allegiance to Denmark, as long as he might desire to do so. ..
 There Is no provision In the document itself for plebiscite, but the general opinion among members of the Commit tee as brought out in the meeting, was that Denmark exercise the privilege of permitting the inhabitants of the islands an opportunity to express by ballot their preference in the matter of transfer This opportunity Is afforded in a provision for the ratification of the treaty by the Danish government afteG 1t shall have been acted upon by the Senate. It Is be- leved that before the treaty is finally accepted by Denmark, 1t will be placed before the people, immediately affected by 1t, and that they will be,asked to ex- press their preference by a. vote. The present prospect is that the treaty will be favorably reported after another meet ing devoted to it's consideration.

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron In your blood
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes, and when 1t reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with 1t to keep the fires of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and heips to restore your wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron, you lack that much of life; you fair that much to keep up the needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This ac- counts tor the life-giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. 1t supplies iron, and to do that is to restore the full body building power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar life-quickening function; vitality goes down whenever any propor- ton of the iron is lacking. Vigor and stre ngth return just as surely when this element is restored.
 Dr. Harters Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because it con- tains the particular blood-making and strength giving form of iron that the system needs This remedy purifies and enriches the blood. 1t increases the ac- tiyity of the stomach, liver and Kidneys 1t oVercomes nervousness and builds up vitality and strength 1t agrees with the most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because 1t has been doing all these things for forty-five years.
