Pure NATURAL
MEDICINAL IRON
NATURES tonic
Used Externally, Is Both Heal
ing Agent and Autiseptic, and
Stops the Bleeding Quickly.

For thirty years doctors, physicians,
surgeons and the public generally have
been discovering new uses for medic
innl iron. known as Acid Iron Mineral,
which. like rad!um, is another phe-
nomen OF Natures beyond the chem
lists power to initiate.
Druggists have asked us to inform the
public on the uses Of this highly con-
centratcd. economical. medicinal iron.
Some OF It's uses are as follows:
First, Acid Iron Mineral makes n
pleasant, powerful, unusual tonic for
building up weakened, nervous, amaze
mic people Of all ages, and n teaspoon
full taken in n glass of water nakes.a
delightful. inviGorating tonic for blood,
kidneys, stomach and digestion, and
thousands Of tests prove 1t the best
treatment so far known for uric acid,
rheumatic pains and aches, and i'm
poverished blood. 1t helps the stom-
ach stimulate the appetite, and is al
most certain relief for indigestion.
Externally. Acid Iron Mineral, II
poured on Il cut or wound, stops the
bleeding instantly and acts as a heal
ing agent, besides being n wonderful,
powerful germicide and a%ntiseptic.
abrasions need nothing else to effect a
speedy relief, preventing soreness and
fostering.
Dentists use Acid Iron Mineral. dilut-
ed, as n mouth wash and antiseptic

bleeding gums 1t Is a splendid medi-
cine.

The above are q few Of the many
uses Of highly concentrated Acid Iron
Mineral, which is now tested. bottled
and sold by the Ferrodine Chemical

three forms, calcium, sodium, potas-
sum, magnesium and free s%ulphuric
acid. Ia non-alcoholic, Is not a patent

He spent most of his money in
costly attire, bought an automobile
and never opened a law book. Uncle
Abel sized him up desolately, dis
cerned that Cecil would not make
eVein "a competent copying clerk, but
kept on with Cecil, hoping the open
ly exhibited Partially would bring
his favorite Walter around to terms.
Quietly, strictly devoted to his
businesses, Walter pursued the even
tenor Of his way. He was determined
to build from the ground up, and
humble as was the employment of
carrying pole and links through the
mud and in all kinds of weather, he
loved the long tramps, he enjoyed
being amid natures woods and by
ways, and he was learning important
rudimentals Of the line of labor he
expected to make his life work.
Cecil Archer called his automobile
"The Hummer" It was snowy,
speedy and deserved the designation.
In his own mind Cecil considered
himself "a hummer" In the course
of time he came to know Miss Marsh.
She struck his fancy completely.
Walter, who spent two evenings in
the week in her company when he
was in town, was away on some i'm
portant business. Cecil rather
amused her. In an unadvised mo-
ment she consented to accompany
him to a musical entertainment.
Thereafter his attentions became
persistent. g.
Leonie had become a trife piuued
at a circumstance concerning Wal
ter. She learned that he had come
to town one evening, had visited his
uncle and had left early the next day,
without seeing her. They were not
engaged, still she resented the negi-
gence. Hence the buoyRnt beliefNon
the part of Cecil that he had "cut out

Exports of Sugar
To Nations Allies

Some sections of the United
States are temporarily short of
sugar because the Nation is part
tally filling the imperative needs
of the allies and is supplying sugar
for its troops in France. In 1917
the United States has exported
over 1S times as much as it had
averaged in the three years preced-
ing the war.
The worlds sugar crop for 1916
II was nearly 100000 tons less
than that of 1928. A greater
shortage, however, affects the
European allies because their own
production has been greatly cut,
and prior to the war Germany and
Austria exported each year ap-
proximately 1,722,000 tons. In
prewar times England received 81

goods can be obtained from the
Red Cross in single garments only
upon individual request; or if in
bulk, then upon the request OF a
commanding officer. How great the
need is best evidenced by the fact
that in addition to the hundreds of
thousands of knitted articles pro-
duced by our Red Cross chapters
in the last few months we have
been compelled to purchase $50,
900 extra sweaters alone, to meet
the insistent demand made upon US
by our men for them. We are
sorry that we. had to do any pur-
chasing at all, because we know
how much the soldiers and sailors
of this country prefer the sweaters
and other articles knitted by the
women of this country.

women who are now knitting to
keep on knitting"

per cent of her total sugar supply
from the central powers, which is
now supplied from the United
States sources.
While European allies are being
materially aided with sugar from
the United States, they are far
from getting more than their share
at the expense of the citizen who
once in a while may have to drink
his coffee unsweatened. The aver
age consumption of sugar per
capita in England before the war
was more than SO pounds a year.
Now the maximum limit is 26
pounds, with some likelihood of
that being unobtainable. In
France the limit is Is pounds per
capita; in Italy II pounds.
The average consumption of
sugar per capita in the United
States is still about 80 pounds.

The Need of Economy
And Saving

When we put million and a
half soldiers in the field, we with
draw those men from productive
enterprises. They do not while
they are actually in training or in
service produce anything. They
do, on the other hand, consume
much. There is nothing more eX-
pensive on earth than to support
and maintain a great army in the
field, especially if it is on the fight
ing line. The attrition of supplies
and everything else is tremendous
ly great when we have a fighting
army in the field.
America is the one great remain
ing storehouse in the world sup
plies and credit. We must main
tain and make effective as possible
our own soldiers and the soldiers
of those nations who are fighting

Statement From Red
Cross Headquarters

Harvey D. Gibson, general man.
ager of the American Red Cross,
has authorized the following state
ment:
"a great number of inquiries are
being received by the Red Cross
from women knitters throughout
the United State as to whether
they should discontinue knitting.
"The Red Cross, therefore, de-
sires to place before the women of
this country its conception of the
knitting situation. AS is we'll
known, it is the policy of the Red
Cross to supplement so far as it
has the power the efforts of the
army and navy, in conserving the
health and comfort of our soldiers
and sailors.
Sweaters and other knitted ar
ticles are designed primarily for
warmth. They certainly are not
ornamental. Therefor it must
follow that when there is an al
most UNIVERSAL demand on the part
of our soldiers and sailors for
sweaters and other knitted articles
the demand is a real one. Such
articles, therefore, can only be
classed as equipment, supplement
ary though they may be, to thai
furnished by the army and navy
And they undoubtedly constitute
equipment that will add greatly t.
the health and comfort of our mer
under conditions generally me
with.
"The Red Cross knows that tn
soldiers and sailors want sweater:
and other knitted articles. These

Soulp gathers about Miss Annie Mae Wal thall, sister of MT. Henry Walthall, who plays the part of Mrs Dana. Miss Wal thall has a great many friends all over the south who have watched her career with interest, and she has quite come up to the expectations of those who pre- dIcted for her a success on the screen.
 The Truant Soul' is a stirring, grip ping sort of thing, intensely interesting from start to finish, and it holds an ad- dience, both for the story and the com pete and effectual manner in which it is produced.
 A brief sketch of ''The Truant Soul reveals one John Lancaster, a genius ii surgery, who has formed the habit of taking morphine. The habit finally grips him to such an extent it tells on his work In an effort to rid himself of it, he enlists the aid of young trained nurse and going to the sanitarium found- ed by his father, the two set themselves to fight it out. After q few months they win the battle, becoming engaged. Lan- caster strong in his new manhood, sets out to perform the first operation since

 In The Truant Soul' MT.
