TEUTONS HARASSED
NEARLY TO FRENZY
BY BRITISH TROOPS
Through Rain, Fog, Mist and
Mud They Keep Pounding
Away at German Line by
Day and by Night
by Associated Press. ,

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Jan. 11.-(Via London, Jan.
l2)-Through rains. mist, fog and
deep mud the British army is continu-
ing day by day to pound the German
line. Although there mas been no dis
tinctly spectacular action recently, daily
and nightly trench raids and the drum
ming of the artillery have continued.
These operations have yielded a con-
slant inflow of prisoners and have kept
the casualty lists growing. According
to the stories told by the prisoners the
British tactics have harassed the Ger
man troops almost beyond endurance. .
The last week has witnessed some
typical so-calked minor operations, Gull
minating with an attack before dawn
today north of Beaumont-Hamel. This
action brought the total of prisoners
taken in this area in the last three days
to 800 and placed in British hands some
important sections of trenches. On
Tuesday night the British attacked a
desired section of the German lines,
which was taken with a yield of 140
prisoners.
The operations this morning drove the
Germans from a position which they
had held for some time and from which
they could observe part of the British
line. The attack was preceded by the
usual artillery preparation which, as a
matter of fact had been going on for
nearly week but had grown particular
ly severe in the last forty-eight hours
Just before dawn the British went
over" Ahead of them. in that darkest
hour before the sun rose was the fiery
curtain of shells from the guns far in
the rear. The sodden trench of No
Mans Land over which they plodded
was lit ~ the glare of the exploding
shells. AS the barrage crept steadily
forward the men followed it so closely
that the spectator momentarily expected
them to be smashed by the fire of their
own guns. Red rockets from the Ger
man trenches flashed signals for aid to
the defending guns in the rear, but the
counter barrage failed to check the ad-
vance. The German gunnery in this in
stance was described by the attacking
officers as weak and erratic.
The British soldiers encountered little
resistance when they entered the she'll
torn trenches. The Germans had taken
refuge from the terrific shell fire in the
dugouts and communicating trenches.
The prisoners taken in this raid had
been on the front line for a long while
and appeared very much detected. AS
soon as the captured trenches had been
cleared of the last hostile fighter squads
of engineers were sent in to consolidate
and repair the new positions and before
night the regular booming Of the big
guns told that the battle had once more
settled down into it's customary routine,

Two Months After War
Three Million Workers
In England VIII Be Idle

LONDON, Jan. 14.-It is estimated
that between SIX and eight million per-
sons now employed by the government,
representing half the warge-earning
population of the United Kingdom, will
have TO be discharged at the end of
the war. according TO the report of the
committee on labor problems after the
war All these workers will not be
discharged simultaneously. but IL is
probable that within two months after
reace has been declared, some two or
three million workers will be turned
on
Regarding the army rehabilitation,

Man Believed To Be
|. R. Sutton Killed
At Belwood Bridge

A man with letters in his pocket adj
dressed to j. r. sutton, 323 West Third
street, Atlanta, was run over and killed
by an engine beneath the Bellwood ave-
nue. bridge last night about IL o'clock.
The Grady hospital was informed Of
the accident by someone who called over
the telephone and said. This is an engi-
neer. just ran over a man at Bellwood
avenue" When the ambulance got to
the spot the man was dead, his left leg
being severed and his right leg crushed.
The body was left beneath the bridge
until the coroner was notified and II. M.
Patterson & Son, undertakers, were ask
ed to take charge of it. An inquest will
be held today.
Inquiries at the offices of four rail-
roads running trains beneath the Bell
wood bridge failed to get any informa-
ton as to what train killed the man. No
further identification than the letters
had been made up to a late hour last
night.

|Nuxated Iron to Make New Age of
Beautifully omen andVigorousIronMen
and Most ASTONISHING
Men-t the Strength
Delicate, Rundown" Folks
in Weeks Time

NEW YORK, n. Y-Since the remark
able discovery of organic iron, NuXated
Iron or Fer Nuxate," as the French call
il. has taken the country by storm. 1t
is conservatively estimated that over
three million persons annually are taking
il in this country alone. Most aStonlSh-
ing results are reported from its use by
both physicians and laymen. So much
so that doctors predict that we shall
soon have a new age of far more beauti-
full rosy-cheeked women and vigorous
iron men.
DR.. King, New York physician and
author, when interviewed on the subject
said: There can be no vigorous iron
men without iron. Pallor means anaemla'
Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin
of anaemic men and women is pale.
The flesh fiabby. The muscles lack tone;
the brain flags and the memory fails and
often they become weak, nervous, trrl-
table, Respondent and melancholy. When
the iron goes from the blood of women,
the roses go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods of Amer
lea, the StarcheS, sugars, table SyrupS,
candies, polished rice, white bread, soda
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,
tapioca, sage, farina, degerminated corn
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
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 def
cheney in your food by using some form
of organic iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt"
Dr. Sauer, who has studied abroad in
great European medical institutions
said: LAS l have said a hundred times
over, organic iron is the greatest of all
strength builders. If people would only
throw away patent medicines and nau-
seous connections and take simple nux-
ated iron, l am convinced that the lives
of thousands of persons might be saved
who now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, consumption, kidney, liver, heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their disease was nothing
more nor less than a weakened condi-
ton brought on by lack of iron in the
blood.
Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina-
ton for life insurance. l was aStoniShed
to find him with the blood pressure of a
boy of twenty and as full of vigor, vim
and vitality as a young man; in fact,
young man he really was, notwithstand-
ing his age. The secret, he said, was
taking iron-Nuxated Iron had filed him
with renewed life. At 80 he was in bad
health; at as he was careworn and nearly
all in. Now, at SO, after taking Nuxated
Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face
beaming with the buOyancy of youth.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
