No Real Reason for DELAY

r reason is apparent why the conflict over
the revision of the articles of war. which
caused President Wilson's veto OF the army
appro priation bill, should delay the passage
OF that measure in the form in which ii has
been reintroduced, with all reference TO the
articles OF war omitted. 1t is said Senator
hamberlain proposes to amend the measure
when 1T reaches the Senate by tacking on this
bone OF contention. but that course would not

Influenced by the Black List


INFLUENCE Of the British black list on the
l government shipping bill is reflected in
two amendments adopted by the Senate just
before il passed the measure. One permits
the President TO take retaliatory action in case
foreign discrimination against American ship
ping cannot be removed by diplomatic pro-
tests, while the other authorizes the Secrc-
tary Of the Treasury TO withhold clearance
from masters of vessels who deliberately re-
fuse. without satisfactory reasons, 10 accept
freight offered by American citizens.
If the shipping bill ever needed final
argument. the British black list supplied it.
In terms or effect the black list undertakes
to punish neutrals for trading with enemies,
or with persons suspected OF being enemies,
of Britain and her allies. 1t reduces the
privileges of neutrals to a farce and makes
international law scrap OF paper. The ring

Nuxated Iron Will Increase Strength of
Delicate, Nervous, Rundown, Peo-
pie 200 Per Cent in Ten Days
in Many Instances.

New York, n. Y.-Most people fool
ishly seem to think they are going to
get renewed health and strength from
some stimulating medicine, secret nos
trum or narcotic drug, said DIR. Sauer,
a specialist of this city, when, as a mat
ter of fact, real and true strength can
only come from the food you eat. But
people often fail to get the strength out
of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable it
to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong, but they
can't tell what, so they generally COM
mence doctoring for stomach, liver or
kidney trouble or symptoms of some
other ailment caused by the lack of
iron in the blood. This thing may go
on for years, while the patient suffers
untold agony. 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 ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I have
seen dozens of nervous, rundown peo-
pie who were ailing all the while,
double and even triple their strength
