NEW YORK, n. Y.-"One glance "
enough to tell which people have iron
in their blood" said Doctor Sauer, a
specialist OF this city in a recent dis

class. Sleepless nights spent worrying
over supposed ailments. constant dosing
with patent medicines and narcotics for
nervous weakness. stomach. liver or
kidney disease and useless attempts to
brace UP with strong coffee other
stimulsnts are what keep them suffer-
ing and vaInly longing to be strong.
Their real trouble Is lack OF
iron in the blood. Without iron
the blood has no power to change
food into living tissue. and therefore.

troubles in from ten to fourteen days

form. And this. after they had in some
cases been doctoring for months without

Mexican Casualties We're II
Soldiers Killed.

San Antonio Texas April 16.-It was a
force Of Carranza soldiers who engaged
the little detachment of American cavalry
at Parral Wednesday in regularly or
ganized action, according to detailed re-
ports written by Major Frank Tompkns
and forwarded to General Funston by
General Pershing.
Forty of the Mexican soldiers, including
one major and ono civilian, We're killed
by the re:reatins Americans. The Ameri-
can casualties were two killed and six
wounded. including Major Tompkins. His
wound was slight.
Major rompkins entered Parral upon
the invitation of an officer Of the Parral
garrison. He stated that the officer met
him ten miles from Parral, introduced
himself and urged him to accept the hos
pitality of the military and civil authori-
ties. This fact, coupled with Major
Tompkns' report of the subsequent az
tack, caused officers here to express the
opinion that he and his men had been
deliberately led into a trap. although per-
haps not with the knowledge Of General
Lozano commanding officer.
jor 'TompkinS was preparing to move
out to the designated camp when SOL
diers and civilians began to throw stones
and to shoot at the Americans. RealiZ-
ing that the action was that of mob OF
civilians and of soldiers who had gotten
beyond the control of their officers Major
, Tompkins made no stand. but retired his
men without making resistance towards
the city limits. Shouting crowds followed
them, while stones and ccasional shots
! fell among them but without doing great
damage.
1t was afternoon when Major Temp
kins led his men into a defensive posi-
ton behind n railway cmbaukment out
side the town. The mob respected the adj
vantage the Americans had taken but
within a brief time there appeared on
their flank force of 800 Mexican troops
who began in military fashion a formal
attack.
Major Tompkins was still averse tc
lighting in anything but defensive
manner against this force Also it soo,
became apparent that the Mcxicans
superiority in numbers made n retreat
from the position behind the embanlf-
ment imperative.
a retreat was begun that was ended
only at Santa Cruz. The Mexicans
pursued them almost the entire distance
Of the Intervening eight miles, the Am
I orleans rontenting themselves with a
rear guard action.
In the rlMning fight the Americans cared
for their dead and wounded
Major Tompkns' information that &
MeXicans had been killed was secured
from one who passed over the trail from
