French Liquor Dealers
Fighting Effort to Put
France in Dry Column
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec 25-Premier BRAND
proposal to suppress the manufacture
and sale of spirits, which is generally
approved by the public. is being fought
tooth and nail by the powerful liquor
trade interests.
The National Wine and Spirit Trade
association at a special meeting has
passed a resolution strongly condemn
ing the premiers proposal.
Among the arguments advanced at
the meeting was that the measure dis
solves the sacred union of the country
before the foe by attacking one class of
citizens, that it is a violation of the
right of every citizen to trade and that
it amounts to appropriation
II was also urged that those affected
would be entitled by law to indemnities
which would swallow up hundreds of
millions of francs and that the measure
would suppress one of the most lucrative
branches Of Frances export trade. The
loss to the home revenue by such step
was estimated at a billion francs year
and it was declared that ii would in
jure two million farmers and wine
growers, 5000 business firms and
throw a million wase-earners out of
work.

Iron is absolutely necessary to en-

how much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without do

strength out of it, and as a consequence
you become weak, pale and sickly look

in soil deficient in iron. If you are

how long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired. Next
take two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your

FIVE NEGROES ARRESTED
FOR KILLING OF FAMILY
Father, Mother and Two Chill
dren Murdered and
Premises Looted

MINDEN, La, Dec. 26.-Five negro
suspects are under arrest here today IN
connection with the killing of four mem
bers of the family of John Nelson
Reeves at the Reeves home, about nine
miles from Minden, Sunday night. The
negroes are held in the parish Jail here,
but the authorities appear to have moth
ing definite upon which to base a charge
against any of them. Minden is quiet
and there is no fear of mob violence.
Members of the Reeves family killed
by unknown persons evidently bent on
robbery were John Nelson Reeves, aged
siXty-five; Mrs. John Nelson Reeves,
aged thirty; David Reeves, son, aged
nine; Woodrow Reeves, son, aged five.
A fifteen-month-old male infant was also
badly hurt, but reports from Shreveport,
where the babe was taken for treatment,
indicated that he will recover. William
Cody Reeves, aged seven, another son,
apparently was overlooked by the STAY
ers.
The bodies of David and Woodrow
Reeves, who died in Shreveport Sunday
after being taken there for treatment,
reached Minden today. They will be
buried, with their parents, in the family
burying ground.
There is no doubt that robbery inspir-
ed the crime and that the men RESPONSE
BILE for il got away with considerable
booty. Mrs Reeves, it is said. recently
had received a legacy of $4,000, and the
money was kept in a chest on the prem
ises, with about $500 that Reeves had
saved. The chest was broken open and
it's contents taken.

ALLIED WARSHIP FLEET
OFF NEW ENGLAND COAST
Known as Commerce Protec-
tors, They Are Armed
and Disguised
CBy Associated Press.l

BOSTON. Dec. 26.-The presence on
this side of the Atlantic Of formid-
able fleet of allied warships was midi
Gated definitely today. The vessels are
known officially as commerce protectors.
They are heavily armed and disguised.
For obvious reasons their exact dis
position is not revealed. but the arrival
recently in American waters of this
newest unit of the British and French
admiralties was made known from a
source that hardly can he mistaken.
For some days shippers of transAt-
lantic and coastwise steamers have
brought to New England ports reports of
strange appearing craft that were MAX
ing their way westward They made no
reply to signals and could not be ap-
preached. They were described variously
as following the fashion of merchant
men, transports, light cruisers and even
of submarines. 1t is said the fleet ar
rived safely at Halifax, Nova Scotia, a
few days ago, but nothing then became
known generally about it because of the
strict censorship.
The commerce protectors are described
as large and powerful, but capable of
fair speed. They were designed, it IS
said, to meet the German U-boat danger
and in anticipation of an attempted raid
off the Canadian coast similar to that
made by the U-53 off Nantucket on Oc-
tober 8.
The British admiralty, IT is said, de-
termined to make impossible another
such raid, and the fleet of commerce
protectors resulted. 1t is understood the
commerce protectors will not only lie in
wait for submariens at strategical
points, but that they have been provided
in sufficient number to act as conveys
for merchant vessels through the zones
in which undersea boats might operate.

WILSON'S GEORGIA VOTE

Woodrow Wilson polled the largest

over the Republican nominee was $685.
$50 votes. and the vote polled by Mr.
Hughes exceeded that ever before given
a candidate OF either of the great politi-
cal parties.
The announcement from New York at
tributes the overwhelming number Of
ballots cast in the election to first voters
and the enfranchisement Of women In a
number of states. The popular vote re-
ceived by the president in Georgia. how
ever. scarcely justifies the reasons as
signed for the tremendous Democrats
poll.

Mr.. Wilson received in this state the
largest popular vote ever given a candi-
date for either president or governor

The presidents popular plurality IN
Georgia was 114.60s. or considerably
more than 20 per cent OF his popular

-Four years. ago. Mr. Wilson's plurality
in Georgia was record breaking II

The presidents administration and his
personal popularity in Georgia probably
explain the enormous vote cast for him

Nuxated Iron to Make New Age of
Beautiful Women and Vigorous Iron Men
Youthful the Ment
Delicate Per
Weeks


NEW YORK, N. Y,-Since the re-
markable discovery of organic iron,
Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate," as the
French call it, has taken the country by
storm. 1t is conservatively estimated
that over three million persons annually
are taking it in this country alone. Most
astonishing results are reported from
its use by both physicians and laymen.
So much so that doctors predict that we
shall soon have a new age of far more
beautiful, rosy-cheeked women and Wig
orous iron men.
Dr. King, a New York physician and
author, said: There can be no vigorous
iron men without iron. Pallor means
anemia. Anemia means iron deficiency.
The skin of anemic men and women is
pale. The flesh fiabby. The muscles
lack tone the brain flags and the mem
ory fails and often they become weak
nervous, irritable, respondent and mel
ancholy. When the iron goes from the
blood of women, the roses go from their
cheeks.
I'm the most common foods of Amer
lea, the starches, sugars. table syrups'
candies, polished rice. white bread. soda
crackers biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,
tapioca, sage, farina, degerminated corn
meal. no longer is iron to be found. Re-
fning processes have removed the iron
of Mother Earth from these impoverlsh-
ed foods and silly methods OF nome
cookery, by throwing down the waste
nine the water in which our vegetables
are cooked, are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
"Therefore. if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to ripe
old age, you must supply the iron de-
fciency in your food by using some
form of organic iron, just as you would
use salt when your food has not enough
