IRON fine FOR
BLEEDING GUMS
If Troubled With Sore, Bleeding
Gums, Use This Mouth Wash
The Dentist Uses.
GOOD FOR CUTS AND SORES.

Any person troubled with sore,
bleeding gums, which oftimes are al
most too sensitive to touch, will be
elated after rinsing the mouth with
a half-and-half solution of water and
natural iron, known as Acid Iron
Mineral' which may be secured at
most every drug store.
Dentists use it to stop bleeding
and as a mouthwash when extracting
teeth and it is perfectly harmless. 1t
acts as germicide and antiseptic as
we'll as g splendid healing agent.
For cuts, this same natural iron is
fine. Pouring a little on the spots
stops bleeding and prevents soreness
and fostering. Thousands of people
troubled with old sores never healing
have found the solution in Acid Iron
Mineral, which being highly con-
centrated form of natural iron makes
a superb external remedy.
Go to the nearest drug store and
ask for bottle of Acid Iron Mineral.
If druggist hasn't it, send 81 to the
Ferrodine Chemical Corp, Roanoke.
Va, for a large bottle.
NOTE: For piles, ulcers, sores
and skin affections, the Ferrodine
Chemical Corp. has perfected an oint-
ment consisting of this highly con-
centrated natural iron and soothing
medicinal elements, which combined
makes this ointment u1eXcelled. Ask
your druggist for a fifty cent jar of
"A-I-M Ointment" or send direct. Ad.

FEED OUT YOUR HOGS
SIX WEEKS EARLIER

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready of the market six weeks
earlier and to save six weeks feed is
an item that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is con-
ditioner for hogs. 1t keeps their
system clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without fall
ing a prey to the usual diseases Of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder is not stock food. It's
straight medicine, and we took the
agency because it enables you to feed
out your hogs much earlier. G. R.

Judicial Asides

(Girard ~ The Philadelphia Ledger
| hate to rob anybody Of a compliment
even one mistakenly interpreted, but here
goes.
Judge John NJ. Patterson occupied the
bench at the recent Lyceum Institute trlai
of John Jasper for the murder Of Edwin
brood When closing the case the handsome
Judge pleased the participants in the trial
very much by saying:
81 learned some interesting things tonight
which | never knew before"
But Judge Pstterson's mind dwelt on quite
another theme than that unsolved Dickens
mystery. He had found In the desk behind
which he sat a copy Of the Jewish "Seder,' OF
Passover service, which he read through for
the first time and found most absorbing.
Which recalls an incident | witnessed in
the United States Court room during the
Standard Oil case arguments. Justice John
Harlan sent note to one of the other JUS
tees on the bench.

hind Attorney General Wickersham, and
when he sat down after closing the govern

bacco"

No Joke

II has been the habit Of corporations
under the jurisdiction Of the Public Ser
vice Commissions to obey some orders
issued by those bodies, but to pretend COM
pliance with others, only to ignore them
practically, or to fight them in the courts
A good part of the public has fallen into
the notion that the commissions are joke
That opinion on the part of public and
corporations ought to be revised in the
light of recent events in Brooklyn, where
the superintendent of transportation OF
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has
been prosecuted by the District Attorney
for failure to obey an order of the local
commission, has been convicted by jury
and duly sentenced. 1t Is probably the
first time corporation official has been
convicted of crime under the penalty
clauses in the law in any state having a
public utilities regulation statute.
The law in this state has not all the
teeth it might have, for court interpreta-
tions have gone against some clauses which
its drafters believed would strengthen the
hands of the commissions. But this case
is evidence that where officialdom has the
will to compel obedience the orders of the
commissions for the benefit of the public
need not be mere empty words. What
must be hoped for in many more cases is
a persistent determination to compel
obedience, if necessary, by resort to Grim
inal prosecution of those responsible for
ignoring remedial orders. If the commits
sions furnish that, and the prosecutors CO.
operate with them, the law will be serv-
ing it's full purpose, and the skeptical
public and cynical corporation managers
will lose the idea that the commissions are
"a joke.

Undermining the Federal Building

Grief will be restrained and intermlt-
tent over the widening cracks in the Fed
eral Building. If the new subway could
actually achieve the complete undoing of
that Early General Grant monstrosity 1t
would be pardoned all its sins. Mean
time, the opportunity of Congress widens
with the cracks. Real money will be
needed to save the old structure if it is to
be saved. Why not make the long hoped
for move, build such modern structures as
are needed and rae the old, disintegrating
mausoleum to the ground?
The land in question belongs to the city
in point of fact. The Federal government
would be performing only graceful duty
if it withdrew its worst of all possible pub
lie buildings and restored our City Hall
Park to its proper size and dignity. The
gain to the City Hall, our best public mon
ument surviving from the past, would be
Unreasonable. More power to the subway
excavators and more light to Congress.

In the History Class

"The World" tries to persuade US thai
we don't know American history because
we said that Lincoln involved the country
in war after the attack on Fort Sumter
Our neighbor holds that Lincoln did moth
ing to bring about state Of war. But
Lincoln certainly made war a certainty
when he called out $4,000 volunteers to re-
store the sovereignty of the Union. There
would have been no war-certainly not IN
1861-if he had overlooked the attack on
Sumter and had started in on two years
diplomatic correspondence with the Con-
federate authorities with the purpose oil
dissuading them from making further at
tacks of the same nature.
Lincoln accepted war when cause tor
war was given him. 1t was an act of Will
and resolution on his part. He had the
other choice-that of avoiding war and
paying the price of avoidance. War can't
be forced on President who is too proud
to fight" We fear that "The World" has
not read American history since 1914 with
critical attention.

ing trade with the neutral ports of Hol-
land and Denmark. On this point the
supposed sufferers are the best judges.
The "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant"
thinks Great Britain has, of course, a
perfect right to counteract the activity OF
German submarines, and if she succeeds
oeutrals will also have reason for satisfac-
ton" The "Telegraaf," of Amsterdam
likewise observes that, whatever the Ger
mans may pretend, there is no question OF
blockading neutral ports, and adds:
When We see that the German govern
ment has in fact declared the seas OF the
entire world "a danger zone," and that II
assumes the right of torpedoing all ves-
sells. enemy or neutral, which are en- route
to or returning from an Allied harbor, this
new measure seems the least that the Brit
ish Admiralty could take, and we are only
surprised that such measure was not de-
cided upon long ago.
The Germans may not be able to distin-
guish between British precautions and
German aggressions, but it is matter
that offers no difficulty to Germany's po-
tential victims.

"Illimitable Patience"

In an improving homily on Lincoln's
Birthday "The Evening Post" solemnly ad-
iured the thoughtful people of this peace
full and long-suffering land "to pray that
double portion of his illimitable patience
NAV be given to them and their rulers"
Surely our rulers are not so quick tenn
pered that they must turn TO an lmper-
feet peacemaker as an example. The
double portion required Of them in these
DAYS was the actual possession Of Fletcher;
hero, the inimitable Monsieur Lapel, arch
type of all modern pacifsts. Hear him
reason on the rewards of illimitable pa
tience:
have been Eliminating with myself
What honor a man loses by a kick.
Why, what's kick?
For they that stand upon their honor most
When they conceive there is no honor lost
As, by a table have invented
For that purpose alone, shall appear plainly
Which shows the vanity of all blows al
large
And with what case they may be took on
all sides,
Numbering but twice over the letters PA
THENCE
From PA to CE-I doubt not but in small
time
To see a dissolution of all bloodshed
If the Reformed Kick do but once get up.
If we are not yet hardened by custom
let us by all means pray for the spirit not
of Lincoln, but of Monsieur Lapel, the
model of patient sufferers in a good cause

Danger Zones

In a dispatch TO "The New York Times
Mr.. o.. X. Davis, who has had abundant
opportunity 10 sound the sentiment Of in
fiuential men in Berlin, sums up their ar
guments for the new Sperrgebiete, or
blockaded zones, as follows:
One nation has just as good right to pro-
claim war zone In the open sea as the
other. England began by laying war zone
in the North Sea, they say. Now Germany
merely does the same thing in other waters.
When the British Admiralty first gave
warning Of the dangers TO be encountered
in the North. Sea it was not without pro-
viding for the safety Of neutral shipping.
Indeed, had it not been for the warnings
given by British cruisers neutral mer-
chant vessels would already have been de-
stroyed by the mines scattered indiscrimi-
nately in the open sea by the Germans. II
was TO guard against the growth Of this
manifest peril and 10 insure the safety Of
peaceful commerce on the high seas that
the prohibited area was established.
Possibly, however, the Germans are
thinking Of the area proclaimed two or
three weeks ago and apparently hamper

Lost Opportunities

tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: rejoice that we have the opportunity
Of reading the clesn-cut, courageous articles
you are publishing in The Tribune upon the
great war, with particular reference to the
issues most intimately concerning this ma
ton. You have done much to strip the veil
Of meaningless words" from the various
communications which have passed between
the governments, revealing to the man in the
street the naked facts.
What opportunities this government has let
slip to distinguish itself, for all time!
Blessed as no nation has ever been blessed,
favored at the very hands of the Almighty
with truly enormous resources, her history
a priceless possession, with wars waged for
inalienablc rights, for freedom on land and
sea, for the oppressed and distressed; the one
great neutral, yet with such antecedents,
such a history, such resources, such profess
sions of profound affection for humanity
silent in the face of Belgium's wrongs, pas

Dr.. Buffers Simple Solution

Every friend of Columbia will be de-
lighted to have President Buffers ridicu-
lousy simple exoneration of the university
in the matter of Count Ilya Tolstoy's re-
ported rejection from the university's lect-
ure halls. Said he in some general advice
to alumni relating to nothing in particu-
lar:
/ want to give you a word Of warning.
Columbia University suffers good deal
from time to time from attacks of what may
be called "inhammatory journalism" The
only counsel | have to give you Is never to
believe anything you read in the news
papers about Columbia unless you have
personally seen it, and then believe only
half Of it.
The general public, having only the word
of "inhammatory journalism" for the re-
pulse of Count Tolstoy, will, Of course, be
glad to accept DR.. Buffers direction and
refuse to believe a word of what has
been printed concerning it. The counts
Moscow lecture was not boycotted on
Morningside. 1t was, in fact, actually de-
livered on the Columbia campus. No right
of free speech was interfered with by any
body. No Columbia professor Numbered
and Columbia University was not made
fool of. Professor John Dewey, who char
acterized the supposed action as regret
table," will, of course, retract; the lnterna-
tional Club of Columbia will at once call
off its meeting of protest.
To forestall criticism, we conclude with
a frank confession that, upon Mr.. Buffers
own theory, we have no right whatever to
believe that he said word of his speech,
quoted as it is from the journals of New
York. Perhaps he didn't. We certainly
hope that he didn't. For it seems to US al
together too much like the kind of nom
sense that really infammatory journals
would place in the mouth of college pres
ident whom they wished TO make ridiculous.

the tenement house committee of the

Il both, and it has merit on both counts
This Tenement House Commissioner
Murphy has promptly recognized, and the
fire and safety authorities Of Philadelphia
where a similar campaign is being con
Quoted, approve it heartily.
The high board fence keeps light and
air out Of back yards. II seems TO have
an unhoIy affinity for rubbish, which fire.
auently collects at It's base in amazing
quantity. This constitutes fire hazard

NOT A CATHEDRAL AGE
Hence Let Us Have a Sightseeing Tower
Atop the Cathedral
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The new Cathedral of St. John the
Divine should have one great tower instead
Of four smaller ones for the following rea-
son: Such tower, looming up, would be
for all time the highest point in the greater
city, and the extraordinary advantage of that
fact should be utilized to the full. From that
vantage could be seen one of the most glori-
Gus outlooks in the world.
In full view would be all the greater city
the harbor, the Sound, far up the Hudson,
long vistas of Westchester County, New Jer-
sey and Long Island. It.would be one of
the main detectives in New York of tourists
from all parts of the country and from all
parts of the world.
The architectural problem involved would
doubtless be easily solved by the architect,
Mr.. Cram. All that would be necessary
would be series of openings or balustrade
surrounding the tower at the highest point
in harmony with the design, and system of
elevators.
When one remembers that the Woolworth
Tower has now an average of one hundred
and seventy thousand visitors a year, three
quarters of whom pay for the privilege, one
can have an idea Of the enormous revenue
that could be derived from this infinitely
greater opportunity to see the mighty city.
That revenue could be applied to the support
Of a great hospital or to other charities of
broad appeal.
This is not a cathedral age Religious
impulse is placing the emphasis on social
service and foreign missions rather than on
cathedral building. Few of Us enthuse over
the cathedral either as a religious aspira-
ton or religious necessity.
To equip the tower for the purpose men,
toned would render genuine public service
and give big impulse toward finishing the
work. JOHN A. WADE.

"THE WAVE OF BLOOD LUST"
MiIitarist Hysteria as Seen by Paeihst-
Business Methods in World Crisis

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The wave of blood lust let loose OF
late, especially in the daily press, has moved
me to thus take your time.
Have war profits completely turned the
heads of our so-called leading citizens and
the papers which they control? / see nc
other reason for the militaristic hysteria with
which we find ourselves surrounded.
Is not the most sensible course that oil
going to the last limit of patience and endur-
ance to prevent hostiities and then go fur
Their?
To use the argument unanswerable, "What
would modern business methods indicator
Let US develop the idea.
II cannot be gainsaid that these methods re-
uuire the utmost as to strict correlation be-
tween the means and the end. In other
words, the test is: "Does it work.
Apply this to war.
Does it work?
As understand it, the crisis facing US now
Is owing to our proper demands that Ameri-
can non-combatant lives be ssfeguarded on
the seas.
Let us declare war. Let US conquer the
enemy. And from that time are American
lives safe from harm? Are they? Do they
possess any greater degree Of safety than be-
fore the war? think that the history Of ma
tions to date would indicate that they are not
II the enemy is crushed, will it not rise
again with fostering memories and prepare
to get even? History answers: yes"
Has war accomplished its purpose?
At the most we get a guarantee, written on
ia scrap of paper"
as it good business"
| leave the readers Of this passes the cen
sor) to answer and to call to vision the dead
in numbers inconceivable-the millions OF
dollars worth Of misspent labor
In Gods name, then, let US remain cool
and if there is another way out. let US take
il and refuse to be stampeded by the false
patriotism of those who may well profit from
the nations travail.
And in this connection, permit me to sing
highest praises for Henry Ford, who offers
his all TO our government without profit
If all muntion makers should do likewise
there would be less loud cries for the blood
of another people. And it is the people
who supply that blood, and not the "gov'
eminent" upon which war is declared
So let us aid our President in his endeav'
ors to keep peace and honor. OSMOSIS.
