luieteSt Day Yet on
British Firing Line
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMnns.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, May 19.-The quietest Pc
riod since the Franco-British offensive
started developed at the front today.
The situation is best comparable to
a prizefight, where the two pugilists,
having slugged and mauled each other
through several opening rounds. sud
denly slow up to study each others
weaknesses. One or the other feints
and strikes occasionally and the two
spar for future openings. but wary and
summoning up reserve strength for the
later periods of the fight.
The British, with success in the open
ing rounds registered to their credit,
are still pressing the Germans closely,
even during this lull, but throughout
most of today there was little more
than desultory fighting in isolated spots
along the front.
Back behind the German lines Brit
ish filters reported exceeding activity
by the enemy in digging reserve trench
es Prisoners Of war are employed In
the construction Of these lines, despite
the fact that they are within range OF
British shells. Some Russians thus at
work managed to elude their guards
last night and sneak across no mans
land safely to the British lines in the
absence of any of the usual barages OF
fire.
German prisoners captured in the
last few days admit their rations are
of poorer quality than those furnished
them several months ago. There Is
direct connection between this short
ening of rations and the unusually
thorough looting of evacuated villages
by the enemy.

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 are 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 of organic iron--Nuxated Iron
just as you would use salt when your
food has not enough salt.
NOTE-Nuxated Iron which is prescribed and
recommended above by physicians In such a great
variety of cases is not a patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but which is well known TO
druggists and whose iron constituents are widely
prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere.
Unlike the older inorganic iron products, Ii is
easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the
contrary II is most potent remedy in nearly
all forms Of indigestion, well as for nervous,
rundown conditions. The manufacturers have
such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they
offer to forfeit $4,000 to any charitable insti-
tuition II they cannot take any man or woman
under so who lacks iron and increase their
strength 100 per cent over in four weeks
time provided they have serious organic
trouble. They also offer to refund your money
if IL does not at least double your strength
and endurance in ten days time 1t is dis

iron in the blood, DR.. Howard James,
of the Manhattan State Hospital of n
York and formerly Assistant PHYSICS
Brooklyn State Hospital, said:
"a patient of mine remarked to m
(after having been on SIX "eeN
course of Nuxated Iron)'
H." Saw. Doctor, that there stuff Is Ike
Magic.
"Prevtous to using Nuxated iron,
had been prescribing the various MIN
eral salts of iron for years, only
disturbed digestion, tied up, harden
cd secretions etc, when L came
across Nuxated Iron, an elegant IN
genious preparation containing OF
ganic iron, which has no destruc-
five action on the teeth-no corro-
sive effect on the stomach anu
which is readily assimilated into -
the blood and quickly makes It's -
presence felt by increased Vlgor'
snap and staying power.
Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to
change food into living tbs
sue without it, no mater
how much or what you eat, 81
your food m ~ passes
through you without doing
YOU any good. You don't get
the strength out of 1t, and
as consequence you become
weak, pale and sickly look
ing just like a plant trying to grow IN
soil deficient in iron.
"As 1 have said a hundred times
over, organic iron is the greatest or all
strength builders If people would only
take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak
or run down. instead of dosing them
selves with habit-forming drugs, slim
ulants and alcoholic beverages, l am
convinced that i'm this way they could
ward off disease, preventing II pecom-
ing organic in thousands OF cases and
thereby the lives of thousands might
be saved who now die every year from
pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart
trouble and other dangerous maladles.
The real and true cause which started
their diseases was nothing more or less
than a weakened condition brought on
by a lack of iron in the blood.
Thousands of people suffer from iron
deficiency and do not know It,
IF you are not strong or we'll, you
owe 1t to yourself to make the fol-
lowing test: See how long you can
work or how far you can walk with
out becoming tired. Next take two
fve-grain tablets of Nuxsted Iron three
times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again
and see how much you have gained.
From my own experience with NuXat
ed Iron I feel 1t is such valuable
remedy that it should be kept in every
hospital and prescribed by every physf-
clan In this country"

PROF. MOORE SPEAKS
TO GARDEN CLUB

At meeting of the Garden club in
the public library Friday evening the
phase Of vegetable gardening in con-
junction with preservation and can
ming of foods was discussed by Prof.
j. Moore, University of Wisconsin.
and Miss Cory Smith, Fort Atkinson,
member of the County Council of De-
tense. The Rev. N. Carter Daniel in
PRODUCED the speakers
Farming is a job any one can do
stated Prof. Moore There are a lot
OF things to learn" he continued. The
professor then described in a general
way just what the object of the gar
den movement in it's relation to the
individual was. In connection with
the Boy Scout movement he said
There is nothing that boy or a girl
can undertake which will have such a
wholesome effect than this garden
movement. There is nothing that will
teach them better the rights Of prop
erty or the rights of citizenship. which
they will assume in a few years. In
stllllng industry in the child by learn
ing them that they can be help and
not learn to depend on parents for up-
keep will accomplish great deal to-
wards the ideal citizenship"
Prof. Moore then described the prac-
teal end OF gardening. He emphasized
the three cardinal "Ts' in gardening
thorough, Timely, Tillage He ex-
planned the moisture supply-the i'm
portance OF consuming all moisture.
The professor also gave an exhibition
OF right and wrong use OF the hoe.
The beetle and insect pests also
were described and adequate methods
OF combating them were described.
Miss Cory Smith then spoke on the
work of the County Council of Defense
in relation to the work of the Red
Cross.
Raise enough stuff and raise a
surplus of stuff was the plea of Miss
Smith. eve must live more and more
on vegetables next winter because
there is great shortage in wheat
crops throughout the world. But how
are we to keep this surplus product
raised? This surplus cannot be taken
care OF by canning factories as there
is in the first place a great shortage
OF cans, and factories are built to ac-
commodate certain quantity"
1T is possible to form community
clubs in communities and IN this man
ner accomplish more than if we went
at it alone
1t is suggested that we go to the
homes OF farmers and help them dur
ing canning season, but this would be
impracticable
In conclusion Miss Smith stated
we must enter as willing workers.

sacrifice to the good and welfare of
humanity
