The loopholes left in the contract entered into by the supervisors wi.h William N. Bowman, the Denver architect, on March lst over the ob- jections of Supervisor Heap, were subsequently, covered in the bond drawn up by County Attorney O'Sui- livan and Assistant County Attorney Morgan. If this bond is signed by the architect the county will be pro tected in full measure during the con struction of the new court house. To show that the necessary conditions omitted from the contract have been supplied in the bond the latter instru- ment is herewith printed in full:

 The condition of this obligation is such that whereas the above bound William N Bowman has made and entered into a certain contract in writing with said County of Yavapai to act as its architect, to prepare and furnish plans and specifications for a fircproof Court House for said Coun ty, and to superintcnd the construc- ton of same, which contract is here to annexed and made a part nercot; and

 In conclusion, want to state that have taken up the review of the cir cumstances involved in the letting of the architects contract for the plans, specifications, and supervision of the construction of the court house with the greatest regret.

bond as submitted by the county at torney, and thus help Yavapai county out of a serious hole. When the su- pervisors considered the contract, my two esteemed colleagues, who express resentment at my having other busi- ness interests than those involved Tn being a supervisors at one hundred dollars per month, accepted it, in spite of the fact that I had pointed out number of its shortcomings.
 The subsequent correction of these shortcomings through the medium O, the bond, was the idea of the county attorneys office, whose perspicacity may and probably will, result in pro- tecting Yavapai county.
 This record is being made with a fixed and set purpose. It is this - Yavapai county must not suffer any more from supervisoral politics. The guarding of the interests of Yavapai county must not be sacrificed to the prejudice of any individual member of the board of supervisors. 1 refer 10 LllS DGCduSC NlCn SuRSGSlcQ tudl III the employment of an inspector, whose duty it should be to detect, dis cover and reject inferior workmanship or materials, that since we were to pay this mans salary, we might fno some capable man in Los Angeles, whom the architect from Denver might approve, and that 1t would be desirable to have sucn a man working exclusively in our interests, at this iuncture one of the other supervisors declared that he would be - -d f any man from Los Angeles would be allowed to draw down dollar rom the court house job as long as le had anything to do with it. Per 5onally, 1 feel that every supervisor should be prepared to take any step hat may be necessary for the best interests of Yavapai county, without regard to his prejudices.

From Dalton Bag
Deer in Long Chase

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
DALTON, Ga, Dec. IA party OF
hunters from Dalton and the surround
ing county Monday afternoon killed a
deer near the LOoper bridge, about eight
miles from here, it being the first seen
in Whitfield county in decades.
a man coming to Dalton Monday
morning saw the deer run across the
road about two miles east of here, and
when word was received here veritable
army armed with shotguns and rifles
of all makes and sizes, accompanied by
scores of dogs, went after it. The in
formation was that the deer had a
spread of antlers of about yard, and
weighed easily 1000 pounds.
The main division of the army re-
turned in the afternoon, to be followed
few minutes later by the successful
ones. who sighted the deer and shot it
about ten minutes after the others had
left Nine guns were fired at the deer,
only one bullet taking effect. Dead, the
deer was no. as large as first reported;
it was a buck, weighing only about 100
pounds, and its antlers measuring only
about a foot from tip to tip.

Iron is absolutely necessary TO ellaDIe
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without ii, no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely passes
through you without doing you any good,
and as a consequence you become weak,
pale and sickly-looking, just like a plant
trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron.
If YOU are not strong or we'll you owe II
to yourself to make the following test:
see how long you can work or now IaE
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets or or
binary nuxated iron three times per day
after meals for two weeks. Then test
your strength again ard see how mucn
YOU have gained. / have seen dozens OF
nervous rundown people who were all
ing all the while double their strength
and endurance and entirely RID them-
selves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liv-
err 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 doctOr1ng
for months without obtaining any Dene-
fit. But don't take the old forms of re-
duced iron, iron acetate or tincture or
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 kind OF iron.
You must take iron in a form that can
be ca silly absorbed and asstmilated to do
YOU any good, otherwise it may prove
worse than useless. Many an athlete
and priZe-hghter has won the day, simply
because he knew the secret of. great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood with iron before he went into the
ARRAY; while many another has gone
down in inglorious defeat simply for the
lack of iron"
DIR. V. Won Unruh, Medical Director in
Chief of the New York City Clinic, said:

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-12-15

New York. n UT is conservatively
estimated that over five million people
daily in this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from it's use both by
doctors and laymen, that NUMBER OF
physicians in various parts OF the couh-
try have been asked to explain why
they prescribe it so extensively, and why
it apparently produces SO much better
results than were obtained from the ola
forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below:
DR.. King, a New York physician and
author, says: There can be no vigorous
iron men without iron. Pal4or means
anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency.
The skin of anaemic men and women is
pale. The flesh fabby. The muscles
lack tone, the brain fags and the mem
DRY fails and they often become weak,
nervous, irritable, respondent and mel
ancholy. When the iron goes from the
blood of women the roses go from their
cheeks.
In the most common foods of America,
the starches, sugars, table syrups, can
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 impover-
ished foods, and silly methods of home
cookery, by throwing down the waste
pipe the water in which our vegetables
are cooked is responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore, if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
age, you must supply the iron deficiency
in your food by using some form or or
ganic iron just as you would use salt
when your food has not enough salt
DIR. Sauer, Boston physician who has
studied widely in both this country and
in prominent European Medical Institu-
tions, says: CAS- l have said a hundred
times over, organic iron is the greatest
of all strength builders. If people would
only throw away patent medicines and
Nuxated Iron, ! am convinced that the
lives of thousands OF persons might be
saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney
liver and heart troubles, etc The real
and true cause which started their dis
eases was nothing more nor less than
weakened condition brought on by lack
of iron in the blood"
Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina-
ton for life insurance. l was astonished
to find him with a blood pressure of
boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and
vitality as young man; in fact young
man he really was notwithS landing his
age. The secret, he said, was taking
iron-nuxated iron had filled him with
renewed life. At 80 he was in bad
health: at 46 he was careworn and nearly
all in-now at SO a miracle of vitality
and his face beaming with the buoyancy
of youth.

GERMAN PROPOSAL
FRUITLESS, BELIEF
OF SENATOR SMITH
Regards Offer as AdrOit PO-
IiticaI Move by KaiSer-Of-
fers Opportunities for Nego-
tiationS, Says HardWiCk
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Dec. 1S.-Al-
though London holds the key to the
diplomatic situation growing out of Ger
many's peace proposal, the unexpected
development commands interest in
Washington commensurate with its pos
sibiIities. 1t is the topic of discussion
and speculation at the capitol. at the
White House and in the executive de-
partments, while the diplomatic corps
is tremendously concerned.
There is much interest in Washing
ton as to the course of President Wilson
in the circumstances. Until the official
text of the German proposal has been
received and fully digested by the presi-
dent, there is no likelihood there will
come from the White house any init
nation a. TO the course of the president
1t may be that he will simply submit
the German proposal to the entente al
lies, or it may te that he will bring
diplomatic pressure TO bear to further
the German offer for peace negotia-
lions.
1t is pointed out here that the Inof.
hcial terms which it understood repre-
sent the German view are wholly inn
possible, and il is suggested that these
terms have been offered by the Germans
I'm the hope of creating differences
among the entente allies. 1t is regard
ed as certain that Russia would never
agree TO any arrangement that contem-
plated the taking away from her Poland
and Lithuniania-
VIEWS OF GEORGIANS.
Senator Hoke Smith inclines to the
belief that the German proposal will
be fruitless OF results. He regards the
development as an adroit political move
on part of the Germans to shift to
the shoulders Of the allies the respon-
sibility for prolonging the war.
cit is futile, however, to discuss the
German proposal for peace until Lloyd
George speaks" said the senator. There
is. Of course, the possibility that the
proposal may lead to negotiations that
will in the end restore peace, but that
doesn't seem likely to me-"
Senator Hardwick is bit more opti-
mistic. He said:
"Of course. the Germans do not be-
lieve that their original terms will be
accepted by the entente. The encourag-
ing feature OF the proposal is that 1t
offers an opportunity for negotiations
between the warning nations. These ma
tions, if the proposal is entered into
in the proper spirit may bring an end
to the war"
Even if the entente accepts the Ger
man proposal in good faith, il is pointed
out that an armistice under the circum-
stances is impossible. Great Britain
and France, under an armistice would
have TO withdraw their blockade of Ger
many. and is regarded as out of the
question. Since. however. the winter
season is on, there is the possibility
that peace negotiations may be con
Quoted with little or no regard to the
hostilities. since the weather in the war
gene is too severe to permit OF much
real lighting.
