NOTE:l sNuxated Iron, which is
prescribed Sand recommended above
by physicians in such a great variety
of cases, is not patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but one which is well
known to druggists and whose iron
constituents are widely prescribed by
eminent physicians both In Europe
and America. Unlike the old morgan
ic iron products, it is easily assim-
Hated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stom-

potent remedy in nearly all forms Of
indigestion as well as for nervous

turers have ssuch great confidence in
nuxated iron, that they offer to for
felt $4,000 ITO any charitable institu-
ton If they cannot take any man or
woman UNDER 60 who lacks iron, and
increase their strength 100 per cent

alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such
astonishing results have been report
ed from its use both by doctors and
laymen, that number of physicians
in various parts of the country have
been asked to explain why they pre-
scribe it so extensively, and why 1t
apparently produces so much better

Instinctively my companion and I
,urned our eyes from the path of the

We were gazing upon the most
wonderful panorama of night that

It was Camp Dodge, the place
where $4,000 soldier boys of the first
national army OF defense, the con-
scripted men OF the Hawkeye state,
minnesota, Nebraska and the two Da-
kotas will go into training, the first
contingent not later than September

And In that vast army will be boys
from Keokuk and Lee county. That
|they may know and that the anxious
.fathers and mothers and the sweet
hearts of these men may learn first

their reception, this story is written.
Later on when the camp is in full
swing. when the thousands upon
thousands OF men are learning how

the scintillating rays make one think
of the press stories that find their
way over from Europe. of the night

go to Europe about the first OF next
month.

takes its place, that of three trans.

Nature did her best when she made
the massive, pure-atred valley in
which this big army from the five
Estates is to-1ive for six months. The
view, the drainage, the roads, the
fields to the right and to the left all
play part in making the site ideal.
Steadily, day by day, that vast row
of wooden houses is stretching away
in seemingly endless numbers. AL
most unbelievable is the rapidity
with which they are built. Nine
houses, OF to be exactly correct,
eight and half of these monstrous
wooden buildings are built every day
Of the week. Not only are the shells
built and the floors put in but so
are the windows and the plumbing,
the kitchens, the lavatories are COM

fore the hundreds of men on the job

There is no dallyfng with Uncle
Sam.
When an electric company proved
almost incapable of maintaining
good operating schedule recently, Ma
jor Willard A. Butler, the construc-
ton quartermaster in charge Of the
building of the camp, called in the
superintendent of railroad and said:
Hold yourself in readiness to take,
over this line and to operate it If
am forced to seize the road. There
can be no delay in government bust
ness"
Butler meant what he said. He
could have seized and operated the
line as easily as a big kid could have
taken candy from an infant.

Camp Dodge is picture. It's

WRIGHT.DIETRICH
CONCERT PLEASES

Danny, petite, witnal ranging from
the ultra-artistic to selections Of pop
ular appeal, was tho concert given
Saturday night by Horace Wright and
Rene Dietrich at the Lanai theater,
Laniakea. What the audience lacked
in numbers IT made up In enthusiasm
and exclusiveness.
Mr.. Wright and Miss Dietrich need
no introduction to Honolulu music
lovers and their performance Saturday
was up to the standard expected OF
them. Their program called for
somewhat different" songs, wherefore
an evening OF select entertainment
was recorded.
While the songs of the popular
couple were splendidly rendered and
the program itself one of wide va
riety still there was vacuum. A lit
tie more of spirited selections with
a dash of appealing comedy would
have set the program off to better ad-
vantage.
Both singers were in splendid voice
and gave an appealing Interpretation
to their offerings, aided by SYM
pdlHSIIC Aduu DIT AuS plduO III LHc per
son of Frank Moss, whose master
skill with the keys was no little fac
tor in he success of the concert.
Mr.. Moss engaged attention at the
start with a classic, Eugene Onegin
from Tschaikowski, a deep, plaintive
melody of difficult character.
Mr. Wright's most ambitious effort
materialized in the aria Celeste
Aida" sung in the original compost
ton A soulful characterization, its
Interpretation was given in heart-ap-
pealing fashion by the singer who
gave full range of his voluminous
voice, running the gamut Of passion
to JOY and spiritual happiness.
Another classical selection came
from Miss Dietrich's throat in wi
lanella," a dainty, light tripping COM
position requiring masterful yet skill
full and delicate control. Interspersing
the vocal selections were piano selec.
tiOns, Arabesque and the Gollywog'
cakewalk by Mr.. Moss, both given in
technical fashion. a

her.
Listen, son. When Cupid plans q
mans undotng ne makes him feel
safe with a pretty girl. Then he's a
goner. Some afternoon you and the
good fellow girl will linger a little
late on the links, or you will be float
ing in with the tide, and you will no
tice that she looks a. little sad, and
the ready laugh has died on her lips.
And you'll ask her what is the mat
ter, and she'll say she's sorry you are
going home, and her eyes will fill
with tears, and the next minute she'll
be weeping on your best silk shirt
front and you'll be telling her that
two can live as cheaply as one, and
that you think people ought to marry
while they are young.
But most dangerous of all is the
girl you are sorry for. You'll meet
her sitting out dances against the
wall, snubbed and unnoticed by the
other girls, and you will take her IN

make up to her for the things she

Then there's the picnic girl and the

cially In summer. After all, you must
take your chances amongst them, and
may Heaven preserve you safely.
