WEAR ARMOR
IN TRENCHES
Iowa National Guard and New Army
of v. s. Will Wear Steel
Helmets and Body
Shields.

+; WASHINGTON, July IL The
Iowa national guard members and
the civilian youths who will be
drawn to furnish Iowa's quota in the
first draft army Of 100000 will be
equipped with special metal helmets
and body armor when they enter the
active fighting in the European war.
The war department already has
asked for bids on steel helmets,
which are worn by the men in the
trenches The metal is shrapnel
proof, yet Is made as light as pos
sible in order to be not uncomfort-
able to the wearer.
AS quickly as the helmets are
manufactured and delivered, the gov
eminent will let contracts for the re-
mainder of the body armor, which in
cludes a shawl-like coat which fits
over the shoulders and reaches to
the knees Of the soldier. The body
armor is a combination of thin sheets
of steel, and numerous layers of silk,
t all encased in a canvas or duck bag
to make penetration all the moro
difficult. 1t is flexible in order that
ton of the body.
The American forces now In
France have been QUILTED with head
and body armor by the British gov.
eminent, but the apparel will be re-
placed as quickly as the American
made product can be dispatched to
the front.
This reversion to the methods OF
medieval times is made necessary by
| the intensity Of trench warfare OF
the present day. Instances have &C
cumulated where the wearing Of the
armor has resulted in a great saving
of life in the terrific warfare that is
being waged today.

brought on by lack OF iron In the
blood.
On account Of the peculiar nature
OF woman and the great drain placed
upon her system at certain periods.
she requires iron much more than
man to help make up for the loss.
Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food inlo
living tissue. Without It, no matter
how much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good. You don't get
the strength out OF it. and as con.
sequence you become weak, pale and
siclly looking, just like plant trying
to grow In soil deficient in Iron.
II you are not strong or we'll you owe
1t to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or
how TAR you can walk without becom-
ing tired. Next take two five-grasn
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. I have seen dozens OF nerv-
GUS. rundown people who were ailing
all the while double their strength
and endurance and entirely lid them
selves of all symptoms of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles, in from ten
to fourteen days time simply by TAX
ing 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 demand
ed by Mother Nature for the red cox
oring matter in the blood OF her chill
dren is, alas! not that kind OF iron
You must take iron in form that
can be easily absorbed and assim-
Hated to do you any good, otherwise
It may prove worse than useless. !
have used Nuxated Iron widely in my
own practice in most severe aggra-
waited conditions with unfailing re-
suits. l have induced many other
physicians to give 1t a trial, all OF
whom have given me most surprising
reports in regard to it's great power
as health and strength builder.

the Fit. Madison Democrat which
says:
The letter received by the local

The letter urges that each member
secure his uniform and be ready to

ments for the formation Of the unit
have been made, and the sailing date
is likelty to be announced very soon.
The unit has been com pletely out

ments, bed clothing and other things
necessary for the field work by pr.
vate subscriptions and by the Red
Cross society. to which the local
medical society gave a large SUM to
be devoted to the Or. Clarke unit.
The delay in sailing has been oc.
casioned by the delay In some Of the
members of the unit closing their
personal affairs and securing their

of the staff signify their readiness
the party will sail for the battlefie1ds

concerning the finding of this de-

Il has been discovered that the

20 decided that a law which long
bed been a dead letter could not be
revived and enforced.
THE decision was written by Judge
Charles Mason way back in the for

find that it applies perfectly to the
blue law situation in Iowa today.
They declare that the supreme

the majority, doesn't reverse itself,
must decide that the blue laws of
Iowa are non-effective, and are not
snforcible.
And it is insisted that until the

Judge Nichols Found It.
Judge Edmund Nichols, formerly of
Perry, Iowa, and now leader of the

Mason decision so vitality affecting
/ the blue laws.
Judge Nichols formerly was on the
bench of the fifth district in Iowa,
serving from 1903 to 1910, when he
resigned to go west. He was re-
garued as one of the best lawyers in

In personal letter to Frank M.
Hoeys, editor of the Perry Tribune,
Judge Nichols disclosed his discovery

reading of the blue law agitation in

WardS Drought TO trial for their share
in these transgressions, pleaded that
1t belonged not to them who were
instruments in the hands of supreme
power to determine what laws were
recent or obsolete, expedient or hurt
full, since they were all alike valid
so long as they remained unrepealed
by the legislature. "-Hume's History
of England.
But this plea neither awaited
them with their judges nor with pos
terity. They were consigned to dis
honored graves, and their memories
have ever since been coupled with
judicial infamy.
at is true, that public opinion
would frequently be very unsafe
guide for judicial decision. The
fluctuating feelings of the multitude
frequently operated upon by moment
airy excitement, by prejudice or by
caprice. would very improperly be
adopted as the standard Of truth or
sound reason.
Safe to Follow.
"But where the same opinions are
concurred in for centuries, and after
passion and prejudice have wholly
subsidized, such opinions are always
founded in truth and justice. and can
more safely be followed than those Of
the most learned and able Judges.
Fortified by this authority, we
pronounce 1t contrary to the spirit Of
that Anglo-Saxon liberty which we
inherit, to revive, without notice, an
obsolete statute, one in relation to
which long disuse and a contrary
policy had induced a reasonable be-
lief that it was no longer in force.
IF custom can make laws, it can,
when long acquiesced in, recognized
and countenanced by the sovereign
power, also repeal them.
. Such has been the case in the ex-
ample now before US.
1--WE feel, therefore. justified in
declaring that the act of March 3,
1907. so far as it would have gone
to authorize the removal Of the in
habitants of this territory, or their
as criminals, Is wholly
imperative and void; that 1t has been
repealed by long nonuse; by the en-
actment of other and 1rreconcilable
statutes; by the establishment of an
opposite policy. and ! the legislative
recognition Of widespread and long
cSldUllSueu CuSCOluS Among the peC-

compatible with such an operation of
this statute.
IF this measure can be sanction
ed, then is there nothing to prevent
congress from laying these snares by
generalization and beguiling the I'M

design Of filling the Golfers of the
public treasury, thus introducing in
to this republic a practice which
