TO PUBLISH PAPER
FOR U. S. SOLDIERS
Weekly Will Be Issued by Y. M.
c. A. for All CAMPS.

On September 80 the first number of
a paper comes from the press which
will be distributed weekly thereafter
in every army camp and cantonment
in the United States. under auspices
of the Y. NJ. c. A. war work council.
President Wilson has endorsed the
plan OF a national journal for en-
listed men which will keep them in
touch with home influences and the
events OF the world, and such men as
Secretaries Baker and Daniels and
Col. Roosevelt have already prepared
special articles. as well as the lead
ing editorial and sporting writers of
the country.
Louis 4. MacMahon, former man.
aging editor OF the Richmond News
Leader and Washington newspap per
man. has gone to the central Office
in New York to take charge of the
work. Plans for the huge undertake
ing were made following a confer
ence held here in July, at which
meeting John Stewart Bryan, of
Richmond. was sent by the council to
make study of conditions in South
ern camps previous to tour of Eu-
ropean camp sites.
Consequently publishers in cities
near the camps have offered to CO.
operate in the enterprise by printing
the editions-fcur pases of which will
contain matter OF general interest
and special articles sent out from
New York City. and the remaining
four will be filled with locals from
the training centers.
Noted pen artists. such as James
Montgomery Flagg. have volunteer
ed their services in illustrating the
paper.

Iron Is Greatest of All Strength
uiLders, Says Doctor
Secret of the Great Endurance and Powers Of Athletes

strength and endurance and en-
tirely get rid 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. You must take iron
in form that can be easily abb
sorbed and assimilated. like Nux-
ated Iron. If you want it to do you
any good, otherwise 1t may prove
worse than useless. Many an ath-
lete or prize-fghter has won the
day simply because he knew the
secret of great strength and en-
durance and filled his blood with
iron before he went into the affray,
while many another has gone down
to inglorious defeat simply for the
lack of iron.
NoTE.-Nuxated Iron, recommended above by
DR.. E. Sauer, is one Of the newer organic iron
compounds. Unlike the older inorganic iron
products. it is easily assmlated. does not iniure
the teeth. make them black. nor upset the stom-
ach; on the contrary. it is a most potent
remedy in nearly all forms Of Indigestion as
well as for nervous. rundown conditions The
manufacturers have such great confidence In
Nuxated Iron that they offer to forefit $1,000 to
any charitable institution il they cannot take
any man or woman under 90 who lacks iron and
increase their strength 100 per cent or over In
four weeks time, provided they have no serious
organic trouble. They also offer to refund
your money il it does not at least double your
strength and endurance in ten days time. II IL

OF NATIONAL ARMY
Fioovers Experts Organize and
Train Mess Cooks.

HOW best to feed the national army
or $4,000 men when they are all in
their cantonments. was discussed at
conference yesterday between rep
resentatives of the War Department
and the Food Administration. One of
'ne principal subjects under discus
sion was the elimination of waste.
rood Administrator Hoover. quar-
termaster Gen. Sharpe and Surgeon
zen. Gorgas were among the principaI
speakers. In attendance were profess
sors from number of the foremost
colleges in the country, and experts
on matters of sanitation and food
stuffs.
The problem of waste In camns
which 1as proved particularly bother
some IN the officers training camps.
Is not expected to- afford much dir
hculty. The training camps are not
under the control of the War Depart
meht IN this respect and most of the
waste there has been due to the lack
or skilled management in the handling
OF food. In the new army canton
mcnts the preparation of the food will
be in the hands of trained mess cooks
who have been prepared for their
duties by special courses in army
cooking schools
A permanent committee shortly will
be named TO deal with the feeding of
the men in the cantonments.

NAVY and SHIPPING
BOARD COMPROMISE
Program Arranged to Expedite Con-
struction During the War.

A complete working agreement has
been reached between the navy and
the Shipping Board, 1t became known
Yesterday. whereby there is no con-
nict over their respective building
programs.
The agreement follows no definite
line, 1t Is not written nor verbal but
II is operating to prevent any clash.
Rear Admiral Taylor, the navy con-
structlon chef, and Rear Admiral
Capps, head of the Emergency Fleet
corporation, are cooperating TO such
an extent that the agreement was
possible.
The sense OF the agreement Is this:
The navy shall have such ship-yards
as are commonly regarded as gov
ernment yards-such as Newport
News. Fore River, Cramps, New
York, and few others. The Ship
ping Board will not attempt to get
these yards to work on merchant
ships, except when the navy saws
the word. In return, the navy will
not attempt to secure construction
OF naval vessels at other yards.
These shall be turned over complete
ly to the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion.
The further agreement has been
made that yards which are building
merchant vessels shall be permitted
to complete the steamers already
under way.
1t also became known that it was
under this agreement that Secretary
Daniels recently felt able 20 ask
Congress for money to construct ls0
additional destroyers. The agree
mcnt gave the navy leeway to get
the destroyers built, while no com
plants have been made from the
Shipping Board that its program of
merchant building is not progressing
satisfactorily.
