your food merely passes thrugh you without DO

how long you can work or how far you walk

times per day after meals for two weeks. Then

MR.. MORTON SMITH,
BRILLIANT EDITOR.
DIES ON WEDNESDAY
Was Assistant Managing Edi-
tor of The Journal for Many
Years and One of South'S
Greatest Newspaper Men

Mr. Morton Smith, assistant managing
editor of The Atlanta Journal, a direc-
tor of The Journal company and one of
the most widely known as we'll as one of
the most beloved newspaper men in the
south. died at 4 o'clock "Wednesday morn
ing at his home in Atlanta, 1O1 Lucille
avenue.
For a number of years he had been
ill. An invalid, he had been unable 20
leave his nome and for a long time his
family and his friends have known that
the end was not far. Yet his death,
though il was not unexpected, comes as
a shock and a deep grief to those who
counted Morton Smith a dear and pre-
cious friend.
The men associated with him on The
Journal those in other cities who work
ed beside him in former years. Allan
tians who knew him from boyhood-to
these Morton Smiths death will be 4
lasting sorrow.
OF late they had not been so close to
him as in other days, yet on the white
winter morning when they heard that
Morton Smith had gone away, there
came crowding back on them a myriad
sweet and tender recollections of the
time when Morton Smith was one among
them, vivid memories of his record of
brave achievements and of the man
himself, his high nobility of character,
his wonderful ability, his steadfast de-
votion to his duty, his work. his dear
ones.
Mr. Smith was forty-six years old on
the fourth of this month. He died on
the seventy-fifth birthday of his moth
er, on the eve of the anniversary of the
death of his father four years ago.
Death Came Quietly
Death came TO him quietly just before
dawn. His mother, his wife and his
young son had been with him until he
fell into a peaceful sleep, from which
he did not wake.
Besides his mother, Mrs. John NJ
Smith, Mr.. Smith is survived by his WIFE,
Mrs. Brownie Harris Smith; his son,
John NJ Smith; two sisters. Mrs. George
White and Miss Mary Lou Smith; and
two brothers, John E. Smith and
Ralph Smith.
Morton Smith was born and reared
in Atlanta and had lived here practical
ly all his life. His father, a native of
Ireland, came to America as a youth,
and before his death had become known
and loved as one of Atlanta's leading
and honored citizens.

GENERAL ALLENBY
WALKS AFOOT INTO
CITY OF JERUSALEM
Announcement of Triumphant
Entry Made by Lloyd George,
Wilson Praised by British
Officials

LONDON. Dec. 12.-Premier Lloyd
George today announced in the house of
commons that General Allenby, the
British commander in Palestine, entered
Jerusalem on foot on Tuesday.
Several factors combine to make the
moment particularly opportune for
war aim speech from the premier-and
Lloyd George is a kneen enough poll
tician to sieze the psychological moment
to put over" such a message not only
tothe people of England and of allied
nations, but indirectly TO the German
populace.
The Russia nSituatlon is lettering in
the balance a repledging of war aims
may be of vital assistance to the allied
cause there.
The German military machine is ex-
erting its greatest efforts preparatory
to another offensive which the German
public knows will mean a horrible toll
Of dead piled on the already appalling
total which Germany has suffered.
An additional factor is the political
situation in England.
The Lansdowne letter beclouded the
atmosphere. 1t repudiated the war to
a knockout" slogan which Lloyd George
announced in an interview more than a
year ago. and which has been accepted
President wilson's message to congress
with its incisive, frank and complete
announcement of Americas war aims.
Churchill Pleased
Winston Churchill. minister of muni-
tiCns, discussed war aims at Bedford
yesterday and some newspaper COM
ment today remarked on significant pas
sages of that speech as limiting at the
possibility of a new general election in
England. Churchill declared President
Wilson's statement of war aims is good
enough for me- and denounced infer
entially the supporters of the Lans-
downe peace without a victory adher-
ents.
At the same time. former Presenter AS
quith. speaker at Birmingham, en-
phatically endorsed President wilson's
reinstatement of war aims as those for
which the allies as a whole are fight
ing. He insisted much criticism of the
LansdOwne letter had been based on
an erroneous reading of it.
Today's London newspapers regarded
Asquith's speech as a precise endorse
ment of President Wilson's aims.
The gist of Asquith's and Wilson's
policy is that the German people must
be taught that militarism does not pay"
declared the Times. Another interpre-
tation of the Lansdowne letter was I'M
warranted. Asquith's attitude toward
the war is not in accord with the main
idea Of the letter"
'Asduith reaffirmed that what Presi-
dent Wilson has voiced in the past
year." the Chronicle declared.
The News glowingly praised Asquith.
'Asquith and President Wilson only
disagree with Lansdowne regarding
the nature of the guarantees" the edi-
torial asserted.
"Asquith and Wilson insist on peace
sanctioned by a league of nations and
Lansdowne on peace by the old diplo-
macy"

New York, y. UT is conservat lively esti-
mated that over three million people annually
in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron.
Such astonishing results have been reported from
ifs use both by doctors and laymen, that a num-
Der of physicians in various parts of the country
have been asked to explain why they prescribe
it so extensively, and why it apparently pro
duces so much better results than obtained
frcm the old forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters received are
given below:
DIR. Ferdinand King. New York Physician
and Medical Author, says:
There can be vigorous iron without
iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means
iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and
women is pale; the flesh flabby; the muscles
lack tone, the brain flags and the memory fails
and they often become weak, nervous, irritable,
respondent and melancholy. 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, candies, polished
rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca-
ron, spaghetti tapioca, sage, farina, degermi-
mated corn meal, no longer is iron TO be found.
Refining processes have removed the iron of
Mother Earth from these impoverished 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 old age, you
must supply the iron deficiency in your food by
using some form of organic iron. just as you
would use salt when yor food has not enough
salt.
DIR. A. ]. Newman, late Police Surgeon Of the
City of Chicago and former House Surgeon, JEFF
ferson Park Hospital, Chicago, in commenting
oil Nuxated Iron, says: at has been my par
ticuiar duty during the past six years to assist
in keeping Chicago's five thousand bluecoats in
good health and Derfect fighting trim that
they would be physically equipped to withstand
ali manner of storms and the ravages of
lures elements.
Recently was prompted through endorse
ment Of Nuxated Iron by DR.. Schuyler C.
Jacques, Visiting Surgeon of st. Elzabeths
Hospital, New York. to give it a trial. This
remedy has proven through my own tests of ii
to excel any preparation | have ever used for
creating red blood, building up the nerves,
strengthening the muscles and correcting diges-
tive disorders"
DIR. f. Sauer, a Boston physician. who has
studied widely both in this country and in great
European Medical Institutions, says: "As /
have said a hundred times over, organic iron is
the greatest of all strength builders. If peo-
pie would only take Nuxated Iron when they
feel weak rundown, instead of dosing them
selves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and
alcoholic beverages l am convinced that in this
way they could ward off disease, preventing it
becoming organic in thousands of cases and

they cannot take any man woman under 90
