That athletic sports have a place in the general scheme of military pre- pardness has been the expressed opin- ion of number of high army officers in the army including Major General Bell, who advised President Benja- min Ide Wheeler, of the University of California to allow his students to continue their athletic activities un- til such time as they were actually called out to active service. Colonel U. G. NcAleXander, for number of years in charge of the cadets of the Oregon Agricultural college, is anoth- CT advocate of the continuance of athletics, especially among the high schools, where a large percentage of the boys are below the age limit The boys need encouragement to keep in sound physical trim" adds Colonel McAlexander.

NEW JERSEY TO WORK
SELECTMEN ON FARMS
Temporary Employment Ready
for Men Awaiting Call
to COIOrS,

TRENTON, Oct. 9.-Permission to
use the selective service machinery TO
mobilize Immediately for farm work
such selectmen in the balance of New
Jerseys quota as wish temporary en-
ployment pending the preparation of
cantonments to receive them has been
asked of Provost Marshal General
Crowder at Washington by Governor
Edge.
There are about 5000 yet to be call
ed into service but the governor has
been informed that quarters at Camp
Dix will not be ready % receive them
all for some time, -.-. --..-..-
MANY men selected for that section
of the chosen army scheduled to leave
for camp October 8 have given up their
positions" Governor Edge said today.
For them to remain idle a month or
more is not only a personal hardship
in many cases, for of course while idle
most of them are receiving no pay,
but it is also an appalling waste of
manpower so essential just now to the
country and it's industries.
THE farmer is short of help. His
work is as vital to the prosecution of
the war as the mobilization of troops.
Why not therefore create the oppor-
tunlty for these men to volunteer serv-
ice on the farm at the usual wage,
benefitting themselves, the farmer and
the country"

times over, organic iron is the greatest
of all strength builders. If people would
only take Nuxated Iron when they feel
weak or rundown. instead of dosing
themselves 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 there
by the lives of thousands might be saved
who now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and
other dangerous maladies. The real and
true cause which started their diseases
was nothing more nor less than weak
ened condition brought on by lack of
iron in the blood.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it, no matter how much
or what you eat. your food merely
passes through you without doing you
any good, and as a consequence you be-
come weak, pale and sickly looking, just
like a plant trying to grow in soil de-
ficient in iron. If you are not strong or
we'll you owe it to yourself to make the
following test: see how long you can
work or how far you can walk without
becoming tired. Next take two five
grain tablets Of ordinary nuxated iron
three times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again
and see how much you have gained. l
have seen dozens of nervous, rundown
people who were ailing all the while
double their strength and endurance and
entirely rid themselves of all symptoms
of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in
from ten to fourteen days time simply
by taking iron in the proper form. And
this, after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without obtaining
any benefit. But don't take the old
forms of reduced iron, iron. acetate or
tincture of iron simply to save a few
cents The iron demanded by Mother
Nature for the red coloring matter in
the blood of her children is, alas! not
that kind of iron. You must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated to do you any good
otherwise 1T may prove worse than use
less Many an athlete and prize-fighter
has won the day simply because he
knew the secret of great strength and
endurance and filled his blood with iron
before he went into the affTay; while
many another has gone down to inglOri-
Gus defeat simply for the lack of iron"

New York, n. Y.-It is conservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are TAX
ing Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing re-
suits have been reported from it's use
both by doctors and laymen that num-
Der of physicians in various parts of the
country have been asked to explain why
they prescribe it so extensively, and
why 1T apparently produces so much
better results than were obtained from
the old forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below:
DR.. Ferdinand King. a New York
Physician and Medical Author, says:
There can be no sturdy iron men with
out iron. PalloF means anaemia. Amaze
mia means iron deficiency The skin of
anaemic men and women is pale; the
flesh f1abby; the muscles lack tone, the
brain Tags and the memory fails and
they often become weak, nervous, irrita-
BILE, respondent and melancholy When
the iron goes from the blood of women,
the roses go from their checks.
I'm the most common foods of Ameri-
ca, the starches, sugars, table syrups'
candies. polished rice. white bread. soda
crackers,
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
pipe the water in which our vegetables
are cooked, are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore, if you wish to get the most
out of what you eat, you must supply
the iron deficiency in your food by using
some form of organic iron. just as you
would use salt when your food has not
enough salt"
DR.. James Louis Beyea, for Is years
Adjunct Professor in the New York
homeopathic Medical College. says: AS
a physician I have always been opposed
to prescribing advertised remedies, and
for fifteen years. while Adjunct Profess
sor in the New York Homeopathic Med
ical College, L taught my medical stu
dents that such remedies We're generally
valueless, but in the case OF Nuxated
Iron severe tests made on myself and
numerous patients have absolutely con-
WINGED me that 1t is a remedy OF most
should be generally prescribed by all
physicians. Notwithstanding the fact
that I am nearing my SOth birthday, a
short course of Nuxated Iron has MADE
me- feel like a new man. Friends say,
What have you been doing to yourself,
YOU look so we'll and full of life| In
my opinion there is. nothing like organic
iron-Nuxated Iron. But beware or the
old forms of metallic iron which often
do more harm than good. To be abso-
lutely sure that my patients get real
organic iron, and not some form OF
metallic variety, / always prescribe
Nuxated Iron in the original packages

the. Berlin Tages Zeitung today
The newspaper asserted it made tina

Speculation here was that Chancellor

A sensational session or the reichStag
is expected, according to Berlin reports.
One dispatch said Chancellor Michaelis
was absent from Berlin. but in contra
diction other messages reported MIN

The German press is filled with COM
ment on the crisis which Michaelis now
faces in the German parliament. The
resignation of Vice Chancellor Hefffer-
ich was freely predicted in some COM
ments. The radicals in the reichstag
and even many of the conservatives
are solidly opposed to him because OF
his failure to announce a decisive gov
ernmental policy at Saturdays reichstag
session. Even a number of the con-
servative newspapers received here bit
terly condemn Helfferlch.
The Socialist organ, Norwaerts, pold-
w asserted that not only Helfferich, but
Michaelis himself, had both proved TO

Germans Fight Desperately

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FLANDERS, Oct. 10.-Desperate Ger
man infantry counter attacks were re.
ported early today over the mud-cov-
cred fields across which the British
have registered another successful adj
vance.
The raggedness of the German artil-
lery fire, in support of these counter
attacks, told its own story. 1t was
obvious the Germans were more &C.
cupied in hauling their guns back than
in firing. .-.s-. ... .
The German effort to gain lost
ground was particularly strong astride
the Ypres-Roulers railway. .-..
Positions held by the British today
are har1ly more than vast bogs. The
hurricane of wind and rain which ac-
companied this latest battle in Fland-
ers began Sunday night. 1t continued
until 10 o'clock Monday night. The
Flemish plains and even the low ridges
were a vast succession of boys. The
British command hesitated to carry out
plans and attempt an attack under such
n handicap imposed by the weather.
But officers and men alike were anxious
to attack They were willing to take
the handicap and were absolutely con-
fident of a Victory. The whole attack
was thereupon carried out exactly on
the minute planned The men advanc-
ed from their shell-hole positions
under cover of a pitch-hlack night and
slid and wallowed through Tho SHINE
and mud to their expected victory.
Through all the gale. night and dav.
