AMERICAN
women LEAD
THE WORLD
They Have Beauty, Health
and Brains.

"A really beautiful woman is al
ways a healthy woman" remarked
one Of our noted beauty specialists,
FOR true beauty comes from the
blood and strong. steady nerves.
Rich. red blood. the fountain OF
life and youth, shows itself in clear
rosy skin. solid flesh. fine form and
a keen bright mind. Red blooden
women, with strong nervous vitality,
are sought after By men; they are
the hope and leaders OF the world.
American women lead the world In
health. beauty and intelligence. and
their number IS increasing. They
have learned the value OF Iron and
Phosphates in keeping them in per
feet condition.
The number OF weak. pale. tagged
out, run down and nervous women IS
bound to decrease rapidly, once the
power Of Phosphated Iron becomes
more generally known" said lead
ing doctor. There is not a reason
in the world why women should not
be strong, happy and JOY to look
upon when the remedy IS at hand"
"Phosphated Iron has accomplished
wonders with my patients. It has
restored health. vitality. strong
nerves. and happiness to whole taml-
lies. It's thu healthy, red. iron
blooded. strong. phosptlatr-f"d nerved
men and women that enjoy life ana
lead in every work" Think it oyer:
To insure doctors and th''ir
patients getting the genuine rhoS-
phated Iron we have put in Capsules

AMERICAN VESSEL SAILS
HENCE FOR U-BOAT ZONE

The schooner Theoline, loaded with
a valuable cargo of sawn timber,
bound for Italy, went to sea yester-
day. The Theoline is the schooner
recently taken over by Captain Som
erville, and this is the first cargo
taken in any port since her new owner
has taken possession. The Theoline
is loaded with about 100000 super
fetal feet OF sawn simber, and her
destination takes her directly through
the prohibited zone. Captain Rob-
erts, who for many years commanded
the schooner Charlevoix, is in COM
mand of the Theoline for the first
transatlantic voyage.
The Russian schooner Ehrglis,
with lumber. also sailed yesterday,
bound for Fleetwood, and the Russian
schooner Gaita, also with a cargo OF
lumber, sailed for Cadiz.

AIRPLANE USED In
SEARCH FOR PARTY
LOST IN EVERGLADES

Lieutenant Phil RAIDER, we'll known
in Pensacola, where he spent several
weeks testing thirty new Curtiss ma
chimes at the aeronautic station, is
assisting materially in locating a
party lost in the Everglades for eight
days. Those lost in the 'glades are
John W. King, John W. King, Jr., and
W. B. Catlow, Jr., who left Miami on
February 10 for the Everglades
southeast of the Tanniami Trail, and
who have not yet returned.
The flight of Lieutenant RAIDER has
been planned for several days, but
because of the continuous cloudy
weather he has been unable to make
the trip. For purposes of observa-
ton it will be necessary for the pilot
to ascend to a great height. so as to
obtain as wide view as possible.
With the low hanging clouds this
view will be DISTRACTED

BITTERDEBATE
ON IRELAND
Self Government Promised
After War, But Irish
Leader is Peeved.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, March 7.-Premier Lloyd
George, in the house of commons to-
day, said the government was pre-
pared to confer self government on
parts of Ireland clearly demanding it,
but would urge the necessity of post
poning the Irish controversy during
the war. He said the government be-
lieved it impossible to force Ulster to
submit to government against its will
and suggested commission to dis
cuss the matter.
The debate was bitter and as a eli
max John Redmond led the Irish ma
tionalists from the chamber and left
the premier facing his first en1bar-
RAISING situation since he assumed
office.
The debate was on a resolution
calling for the immediate application
of the home rule statute and at its
conclusion, with the government
proposal and ultimatum from the u
sterites if they not accept, effectual-
ly crushed all hopes for speedy set
Element. Lloyd George was contin-
ually interrupted and greeted with
jeers by the nationalists, who called
him turncoat and accused him of de-
sorting home rule.

Studio and Laundry, With
Entire Contents, Com
pletely Destroyed.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

Mariana, March THE Mariana
Chinese laundry and Watson studio
were destroyed by fire this morning at
1890 o'clock in a blaze that burned
the two-story native stone building
belonging to Davis Brothers at the
southeast corner of jefferson and
Market streets. When first discov-
cred the fire had gained such head
way as to make it impossible to enter
the building to save any of the con-
tents, and so a total loss was the
result to both the laundry on the first
floor and the studio on the second
floor. The volunteer fire company
turned out promptly, however, and
by hard work saved the remainder of
the block. although the falling of a
wall crushed in the roof of the gar
age next door. The fire was under
control within an hour, but at 5
o'clock a. m. a second alarm was
sounded and the fire company re-
sponded to prevent the spread of the
flames which had broken out afresh.
No insurance was carried on either
the building or the contents, and the
loss was a severe one especially to
Messrs. George Watson, the photo
grapher, and Loo Coy, the Chinese
laundryman, eac hof whom had just
established a lucrative business in
his line.

CITY WINS IN MILK
CASE CONTROVERSY

kilograms from Tallahassee yes
terday announced that the city had
been given a decision in the case of
Howell VS.. the City of Pensacola,
taken up on habeas corpus to the
Florida supreme court. The case had
its origin some weeks ago when the
defendant, a dairyman. believed he
had the right to peddle and sell milk
without being subjected to the city's
ordinance requirements. The question
was taken before the circuit court
here and thence went to the Florida
supreme court when an adverse de-
cision was given the city of Pensa-
cola. 1t is understood, however, that
the case was only brought into the
courts to test the ordinance, the
validity of which particular measure
appeared to have been in dispute.

Although the quota of free

the exceptional circumstances
of the recent freeze, have
agreed to increase the allot-
ment and an additional supply
is on the way to The Journal
now, and will be distributed to
entrants in the Rotary Club
Garden Contest.
Inasmuch as the season is
well advanced, it is suggested
that entrants have their ground
thoroughly prepared, so that
planting may be done imme-
diately the seeds are received

NEW DECISION
by j. 8. COURT.
Freight May Be Collected
Before Ship Sails.
Its Obligation.

Making possible the first decision
on case of its kind ever to come
before a United States court, Judge
William B. Sheppard has announced
in the case of Horace Turner ct al,
owners of American schooner Addison
Z. Billiard VS.. the Cargo of the Ship
and Allen and Freidrichs VS.. the
American schooner Addison E. Bull
lard libel for damages for violation of
charter party, that freight "to be
prepaid, earned, retained, and ire
vocable" was Objectionable before the
ship carried the freight to its destin-
alton, because agreement to carry the
freight, entitled the ship to collect,
though failure to carry out contract
made ship liable for damages.
On the ibed of Allen and Fried
richs against the ship for failure of
the master of the ship to execute
'clear" bills of iading, and that the
master could not execute the contract
until the freight was paid. Judge
Sheppard sustained some of the ex-
ceptlons.
In the case of the libel against the
cargo of the boat, the NJ. A. Quina
Export Company claimed the cargo,
and in the libel brought by the ship
to collect freight payable under the
charter at minimum of $500, "to
be prepaid, earned, retained, and ir-
revocable," The charter part also
stipulated for general maritlSee
lien ''for freight, dead freight and
demurrage."
In the exceptions of the NJ. A.
Quina Export Company as claimants
of the cargo to the libel against the
cargo and of Allen and Friedrichs as
charterers against the libel of the
ship it was claimed that a ship could
not bring a proceeding in admiralty,
in rem, against the cargo for freight,
because there was no lien under the
maritime law for freight until the
cargo was carried to its destination,
and that the ship having contracted
to receive payment in advance waived
the maritime lien it would be entitled
to at its destination and having done
this the libel should be dismissed.
Judge Sheppard held in constituting
the charter party that the ship had
expressly reserved to itself the gen.
eral maritime lien for freight, dead
freight, and demurrage;" that the
stipulation of the parties as to pay
ment in advance might be consider
| ed constructive waiver of the mari
time lien for freight, on the ground
of inconsistency. But, inasmuch as
the parties stipulated that the freight
was learned, retained and irrecover-
able" the inchoatc lien of the ship on
the cargo did not need performance
by the ship by carrying the cargo. In
order to earn the lien and then give
the ship the right to collect freight
and having contracted before the
voyage that the freight was prepaid
and earned" the ship had a right to
collect. Exceptions to the libel
against the cargo were overruled,
leaving the next step in the case for
the chartercrs to amend.

EXAMINE DRUID TO
ASCERTAIN AMOUNT LOSS

Work was commenced yesterday
ascertaining the damage to the Druid,
and a board of survey was at work
during the day, so as to complete the
investigation as soon as possible.
Owners of the boat are hopeful that
the damage is slight, and little diff
Guilty is anticipated in refitting the
handsome craft at Pensacola and
ready for second voyage in a few
days. The cargo was damaged, though
is not believed to be total loss, and
it is believed that with repairs to the
deck and houses the Druid will be
ready to take cargo to Cuba and on
returning to operate the line between
New Orleans and Pensacola.

NECESSITY OF GULF
BEACH ROAD KNOWN

At meeting of the Gulf Beach
Highway committee yesterday it was
decided to postpone the campaign for
funds until possibly next week, when
a more complete canvass can be made
of the city. The change is made, it
is stated. because the growing inter
est in the work on the part of the
business men convinced the commit
tee that Pensacolians would respond
literally if approached.
Arrangements are now being made
to widen the scope of the campaign,
and take in all the city, as plans for
starting Friday were not ready.

Reports to the president that pros

Meat Famine in Fall
is the Latest Forecast

The difference in the cost of
living in 1910 and 1917 is
shown by Secretary Phillips, of
the Chamber of Commerce, in
the price of meat.
During the last week of
January. 1915, beef whole
sailed for $7.92 per 100 pounds
in Pensacola; same period 1917.
S10.19; mutton, $3.50 in 1910,
$14.00 in 1917; veal S9.46 in
1910, $10.97 in 1917.
Yet meat is cheaper than it
should be, and the reason is the
high price of grain. With corn
bringing $1.05 a busheL the
farmers of the west are selling
their livestock rather than feed
the costly grain. Especially
heavy is the sacrifice in young
calves, for veal.
"By next fall" said Secre-
tary Phillips Eve may expect a
meat famine"
