ed to think that open toilets are
largely responsible for present dis
tressing conditions DR.. Garrison

covering specimens gathered by Dr.
White two weeks ago. 1t is satn-
cred from suggestions made III his
telegraphic instructions sent this
morning, however. that the city S
water supply is not at fault. The
order calls for boiling of all waters
not taken from hydrants. Neither
arc the physicians agreed with re
gard to milk supplies. DR. Garri-
sons orders state that no milk
vessels shall be removed from homes
where typhoid has existed. This
sentence, simply analyzed, means
that Gairymen and creameries must
not get bottles from such homes

CATION of Chicago's Bread
Makers Union
BY Associated Press

Chicago, May /. - Acting upon in
structions from the Department of
Justice at Washington, United States
District Attorney c. f. Clyne to-day
started an investigation of reports
that the strike of bakers which has
cut off nearly so per cent. of the
city's bread supply, was precipitated
by German aliens for the purpose of
embarrassing the government.
Charges that the rank and file"
of the bakers IN the United States
did not sanction the action of the
president of the Bakers Information
al Union in signing the statement
issued at Washington by the confer
ence of labor leaders headed by Sam
uel Gompers to the effect that no
strikes would be called during the
war, except under stress of vital is
sues, were made by Tony Weth busi-
ness agent of the striking bakers
union.
I'VE admit" said Weth, that the
president of our international union
signed the statement. But he did so
over our heads and without consult
ing the rank and file. His action is
without our authority"
Hope For Settlement
Hope of a settlement of the strike
to-day centered in a conference be-
tween representatives of the bakers
and the employers in the mayors
office. The strikers insisted on their

Senator Mason's statement in agard
TO NuXated Iron was shown to several
physicians who were requested to
give their opinions thereon.
DIR. Howard James, late of The
Manhattan State Hospital of New
York and formerly Assistant Physician
Brooklyn State Hospital, said: "Sena-
tor Mason is to be commended on
handing out this statement on NuX-
ated Iron for public print. There are
thousands of men and women who
need strength and blood-builder but
do not know what to take. There is
nothing like organic iron-Nuxated
tron-to give increased strength. snap
vigor and staying power 1t enriches
of women and is an unfailing source
of renewed vitality, endurance and
power for men who burn up too rap
idly their nervous energy in the
strenuous strain of the great business
, competition of the day."
Former Health Commissioner VIM.
r. Kerr. of the City of Chicago, says:
II have taken Nuxated Iron myself
strength building effects. and in the
Interest of public welfare 1 feel it my
duty to make known the results of its
use. L am well past my threescore
years. and want to say that l believe
my own great physical activity is
largely due to-day to my personal use
of NuXated Iron. From my own eX-
perience with Nuxated Iron 1 feel it is
such a valuable remedy that it ought
to be used in every hospital and pre-
scribed by every physician in this
country"
DR.. Il. Sauer, a Boston physician
who has studied abroad in great Eu-
