made on Febraury 10 of last year and
on January 81, 1917, by the Austro-

Austro-Hungary will henceforth OBJ
serve regarding the submarine war
and as to whittier the assurances
given by the Austro- Hungarian gov

In the course of negotiations about the
Ancona and Persia papers, have not
been nullified by the aforementioned
statement. The Austro-Hungarian
government is ready to make a clear
and definite statement so that these
doubts may be solved,
The Austro-Hungarian government
may be allowed first of all to discuss
briefly the methods employed by the
entente powers In waging submarine
war. because they are the starting
point for the intensified submarine
war begun by Austria Hungary and
her allies and also throw bright

which have arisen. When Great Bril-

elapsed since that memorable time
when she, in union with other States,
began to lay the foundation at The
Hague for modern naval war law.
Soon afterward the British govern

in order to consolidate the further
work of The Hague conference. espe-
cially in the sense of just arrange

and neutrals. These efforts aimed at
nothing less than the mutual establish

even in war times should embody the
principles of freedom of the seas and
the safeguarding of the interests of
neutrals.
Benefits Not For Neutrals
'Neutrals were not to enjoy these
benefits for long. Hardly had the

It began to break down the barriers

WHAT SENATOR MASON SAYS:

WHAT SENATOR MASON SAYS:
"I have often said I would never re-
commend medicine of any kind. 1 be-
lieve that the doctors place. How
ever, after the hardest political CAM
paign of my life, without chance for
a vacation, l had been starting to
court every morning with that hor-
rible tired feeling one cannot de-
scribe. 1 was advised to try Nuxated
Iron. AS a pioneer in the pure food
and drug legislation. 1 was at first
loath to try an advertised remedy,
but after advising with one of my
medical friends, I gave it test. The
results have been so beneficial in my
own case 1 made up my mind to let
my friends know about 1T. and you
are at liberty to publish this state
ment IL you so desire. 1 am now
sIxty-fivc years of age, and 1 feel that
n remedy which will build up the
strength and Increase the power of
endurance of mum of my age should
be known to every nervous, rundown
nnemic man, woman and child"
Senator Mason's statement in re-
gard to Nuxated Iron was shown to
a
ed to give their opinions thereon.
DR.. Howard James. late of the
United States Public Health Service,
said:
Senator Mason is to be commend
ed on handing out this statement on
NuXated Iron for public print. There
are thousands of men and women who
need a strength and blood-builder,
but do not know what to take. There
is nothing like organic iron - NuN-
ated Iron-to give increased strength,
enriches the blood, brings reses to the
cheeks of women and Is an unfailing
source of renewed vitality, endurance
and power for men who burn up too
rapidly their nervous energy in the
strenuous strain of the great business
competition of the day"
DR. King, a New York physic ian
and author, said: II heartily indorse
Senator Masons statement in regard
to Nuxated Iron. There can be no
lor. means anemia. Anemia means
iron deficiency. The skin of anemic
men and women is pale; the flesh
fIabby; the muscles lack tone; the
often they become weak, nervous,
irritable, Respondent and melancholy.
IN the most common foods of
America, the starches, sugars, table
syrups, candies. polished rice, white
bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca-
degerminated cornmeal. no longer is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron OF Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
by throwing down the waste pipe the
water in which our vegeIau,
cooked. are responsible for another
grave iron loss. 4

Senator Mason Now Says
Should Be Made Known Every Nervous Run
down. Anaemc Man, Woman and Child.
Opinion Howard James, late of the United States Public
Service who has prescribed and thoroughly tested
Nuxated Iron in his private practice.

Therefore, if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to ripe
old age, you must supply the iron de-
ficiency in your food by using some
form of organic iron-NuXated Iron
just as you would use salt when your
food has not enough salt"
DIR. L. Sauer, Boston physician who
has studied abroad in great European
medical institutions. said: Senator
Mason is right. AS have said a hun
dred times over, organic iron is the
greatest of all strength builders.
Not long ago a man came to me
who was nearly half a century old
and asked me to give him a prelim-
mary examination for life insurance
1 was astonished to find him with the
blood pressure of a boy of twenty
and as full of vigor. vim and vitality
as young man; in fact, young man
he really was, Notwithstanding his
age. The secret, he said, was taking
organic iron-NuXated Iron-had fill
ed him with renewed life. At thirty
he was in bad health; at forty-siX
he was care-worn and nearly all in.
Now at fifty, after taking Nuxated
Iron, a miracle of vitality and his
face beaming with the buoyancy of
youth. Iron is absolutely necessary
to enable your blood to change food
into living tissue. Without il. no mat

food merely passes through you with

get the strength out of 1t. and as
consequnce you become weak, pale
and siclkly looking. just like a plant
trying to grow in a soil deficient in
iron. If. you are not strong or we'll
you owe 1t to yourself to make the
following test: See how long you can

and it had been standing there about
ten minutes when tn freight train ran
into il.
The passenger fiagman testified that
he started back to flag four and a half
to five minutes before the collision
but the best information obtainable is
that he had a reached a distance of
only 500 feet from the end of his train
when the freight passed him. He con-
sequently failed adequately to perform
his duties and was evidently unmind-
ful of the responsibility of his position
and the seriousness of the situation"
Dispute About Signal
difference between the testimony
of the engineman of the freight train
and the front brakeman is shown by
report. The brakeman claims that the
signal, 1920 feet from the point where
the wreck occurred, showed the green
caution signal, while the engineman
asserts il was white. The signal To-
Gated 276 feet from the wreck showed
red, but 1t was too late to stop, the
engineman claimed at Mr.. Dohoney's
investigation.
Mr.. Dohoney recites the differences
between signals used at the point
where the wreck occurred and on 9TH
er divisions of the railroad and says
that the general installation of the
kind used on the Philadelphia division
would prevent many accidents that
now are attributed to the failure of
employees to properly observe signals
that involve colors."
"All the testimony was to the effect
that on the night of the accident a
heavy fog prevailed, and under con-
ditions of this character the operation
of trains is particularly hazardous"

Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts,

don't you keep Cascarets handy in

taken a cathartic, but they act thor

The Rev. DR.. Silas c. Swallow an
nounced yesterday that in celebration
of his 18th birthday he will give away
to relatives his fine library which has
been collecting for about seventy
years. The reason for this is that

years, and in removing to apartments
at 25 South Front street, they will

In discussing the value of sweet potatoes as q
food and money crop Mr.. NJ. c. Gay, whose instruc-
tive article appears elsewhere this page,
directs attention to a peculiarly important fact.
Last year. as he points out, Georgia produced some
seven and half million bushels of sweet potatoes
but of that number three and half million bushels
rotted while a considerable part of the remainder
was virtually wasted through improper storage
and marketing practices"
Here we have an example of the kind of ineff-
cheney against which we must be especially on
guard this year if Georgia is to do its rghtful part
in the great task of increasing and conserving the
country's food supply. There well-tried and
thoroughly simple methods of handling the potato
crop so that it will keep in excellent condition until
it can be marketed The United States Department
of Agriculture has designed storage house which
has proved to be unfailingly effective. The Georgia
College of Agriculture will furnish plans and blue
prints this house free of cost and in due season
will give out complete and definite information in
regard to harvesting storing grading and market
ing the crop.
Farmers and gardeners thus have ample assur-
ance of profting sweet potatoes IL they take
advantage of opportunities The food value of the
sweet potato is high it is growing steadily in the
favor of northern markets; 1t can be raised easily
and cheapIy; it will be especially valuable at a
time when the Irish potato crop will be in excep-
tional demand for the army and for expectation.

live on and should empower the people of the two
