Pure NATURAL
MEDICINAL iron
NATURES tonic
Used Externally Is Both Healing
Agent and Antiseptic and Stops
the Bleeding Quickly.

For thirty years doctors, physicians,
surgeons and the public generally,
have been discovering new uses for
medicinal iron, known as Acid Iron
Mineral, which, like radium, is an
other phenomena of Natures beyond
the chemists power to initiate.
Druggists have asked us to inform
the public on the uses of this highly
concentrated. economical, medicinal
iron. Some of its uses are as fol-
lows:
First, Acid Iron Mineral makes g
pleasant, powerful, unusual tonic 70,
building up weakened, nervous, ane-
mic people of all ages. and a tea
spoonful taken In a glass of water
makes a delightful, invigorating tonic
for blood. kidneys. stomach and diges-
tion. and thousands of tests prove II
the best treatment so far known for
uric acid, rheumatic pains and aches,
and IMPOVERISHED blood. It helps the
stomach stimulate the appetite, and is
almost certain relief for indigestion.

The above are few of the many
uses of highly concentrated Acid Iron

Acid Iron Mineral contains iron In
three forms. calcium, sodium. potas-

acid. Is non-alcoholic, is not a patent
medicine. Is harmless to teeth, helps
the stomach and digestion and does
not upset or disturb liver or bowels.

VOLUNTEER WORKERS
give RED CROSS AID
Office Enabled to Reduce Payroll
More Than Third.

A reduction of nearly 40 per cent
has been made in the number of paid
employees at the national headquar-
ters Of the American Red Cross, H.
d. Gibson, general manager, an
nounced yesterday. The staff Of zoe
paid employees has been reduced to
437.
This was caused by an increase In
volunteers serving without pay.
This great reduction in the paid
staff has been made possible by the
new decentralized system of admins
tration recently established. Under
the new plan the country has been
divided into thirteen divisions, each
under the direction OF one of the vol
nnteer managers. He has charge
of all Red Cross work in his division.
These division Offices will correspond
to national headquarters. Experts in
charge OF each phase Of Red Cross
activity working under the direction
Of the national office in this city will
assist them.
Numerous office changes at the new
headquarters have followed the op-
Grafton of the new plan. When the
Red Cross moved into their new $780,
900 building in Seventeenth street
they thought they would have plenty
Of room to transact all business. Now
the lower and upper assembly rooms,
portioned of into Offices for the
stenographers, is being fitted up for
extra work.

TO CUT Price
OF MILK HERE
The Producers Association
Promises Reduction to
33H Cents a Gallon.


Reduction Of the price Of IS cents
gallon for milk to 50 1-2 cents has
been agreed. upon by the Maryland
ard Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
tion which represents the farmers
who supply milk to the Washing
ton market.
J This actor was taken at meet
ing of the executive committee OF tine
organization yesterday afternoon IN
the Munsey Building. following re-
ceipt of a petition from a number OF
Washington dealers in which II was
urged that the price of IS cents would
prove very Injurious to the indus
try. and in which it was suggested
that the producers modify the price
| to 81 cents
While producers at yesterdays meet
Ing insisted that even at IS cents
gallon, there was no profit in milk at
present feed prices. they decided to
make a concession rather than pre-
cipitate fight with the dealers which
might result in a milk strike.
Several Washington dealers who
were present at the meeting stated
that they were not authorized to ac-
cept the price OF 50 1-2 cents asked
by the producers. since they did not
know whether this would be agreea-
BILE to other dealers.
Dealers VIII Agree.
B. A. Slaughter. president Of the
producers. said that dealers would
agree to the price asked.
1--WE have come forward In the
frankest manner and met the dealers
half way. said Mr.. Slaughter, "and
despite the fact that it means sell
ing milk at approximately cost,
cannot believe that Washington deal
ers will refuse to see the reasonable
ness of what we ask"
The price of 33 IL cents ap-
plies to milk Of 31-2 per cent butter
| fat content, whereas the original
price asked was IS cents. The scale
of advance for milk Of higher but
ter-fat content Is the same as under
the original request. cents for a full
point butterfat. This means that
per cent milk will sell for IS IL cents.
wholesale. instead of 81, and 41-2 per
cent milk will sell for 81 IL, rather
than g.
An Interesting feature of the meet
ing yesterday was an address by Mr..
Harvey W. Wiley. the pure-food ex-
pert. who Is a member Of the pro-
| ducers' association. and who has q
dairy farm in Virginia, near Blue
mont.
"I have been engaged In the milk
production business now for four
years" said Mr.. Wiley. "and I would
hate to tell you gentlemen how much
money I have lost. 1t mounts up
| into the thousands.
It keep the most accurate account:
! of my production costs, and under
present conditions it Is costing me

cred in Washington. / have lost

Wednesday afternoon he was trudg-

two boys came along and knocked
the load from his shoulder.
His wife saw it and went straight
to the boys mother and complained
about IL. She talked to deaf ears.
She went home and poudered over

of monkey business" Right out she
went, got the boy and padded him.
The boy got a regular woodshed

Georges wife was all wrong, the
court said, In taking the law in her
own hands. but at the same time,
It didn't blame her a~bit.

She complained several times. Es-
