Not long ago man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked me
to give him a preliminary examination for
life insurance l was astonished to find him
with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and
as full Of vigor. vim and vitality as a young
man; in fact young man he really was.
notwithstanding his age. The secret. he said,
was taking iron-nuxated iron had filled
him with renewed life. At 80 he was in bad
health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly
all in-now at 80. 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 it, no matter how much or what you
eat. your food merely passes through you
quence you become weak. pale and sickly
looking, just like plant trying to grow in
a soil deficient in iron. II you are not strong
or well you owe it to yourself to make the
following test See how long you can work
or how far you can wax without becoming
tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of
ordinary ruxated iron three times per day
after meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you have
gained. | have seen dozens of nervous, rum
down people who were ailing all the while
double their strength and endurance and en-
tirey rid themselves 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 few
cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature
for the red coloring matter in the blood of
her children. is. alas! not that kind of iron.
You must take iron in form that can be
easily absorbed and assimilated to do you
any good, otherwise 1t may prove worse than
useless. Many an athlete and prize fighter
has won the day simply because he knew
the secret of great strength and endurance
and filled his blood with iron before he went
into the affray: while many another has gone
down in inglorious' defeat simply for the

Demand for Sugar in Paris
Falls Off as Cards Installed

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Paris, May 15,-The demand for
sugar in Paris has fallen to one-third
of what it was before the card sys-
TEN was adopted. Advocaes of the
system conclyde from this result that
the cards Have imposed frugality.
They ask for the extension of the sys-
TEN to meat, bread, coal and gasoline.
1t is asserted, however, that this re-
duced demand for sugar is not neces-
sarily due to decreased consumption.
Most housewives, anticipating, the
introduction of cards, had laid in a
supply that will last another month
or more. A great many retail dealers,
groeers, bakers and butchers are in
favor of the card system in prefer
ence to meatless days and other re-
strictions that disturb the routine OF
business. They contend that it is the
only effective means of effecting real
and substantial economies. Meatless
days, they say, would result in con-
siderable wastage through the disor-
ganization of shipping during the
heated season.

In closing here are few don'ts:
Don't expect to avoid these troubles

Don't expect too much from an old
carburetor designed for 76 gasoline
when you are using 81. Get a new
carburetor.
Don't neglect to have the inlet
valve stems snug fit in the cylinder
guides, since any unnecessary clear
ance here will mean the sucking of
pure air into the cylinders.
Don't fail to have all gaskets a
perfectly alright fit on all manifold
connections. To test these gaskets
squirt gasoline on them while the
motor is running throttled down.
Should there be any leaks the admis-
sion OF gasoline into the manifold
through the defective gasket will i'm
mediately change the engine speed.
Don't be too eager to install a de-
vice to save money on gasoline con-
sumption until competent carburetor
man is satisfied that the carburetor

which may help poor carburetor will

fectiy designed and do more harm

DUAL BELGIUM IS
BEING DISCUSSED
Talk of Autonomous Flanders
is Heard in Belgium, Hol-
land and in Ger
many.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.
The Hague, Netherlands, April 80
The interview of the self-styled coun'
Gil of Flanders with the German
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-Holl.
veg, with the chancellor's proclama.
tion of a forthcoming autonomous
Flanders in dual Belgium, is being
eagerly discussed in all its aspects in
Belgium, Holland and Germany.
The idea, as defined by DR.. Frans
van Cauwelaert, one of the best
known Flemish leaders, is to'split up
Belgium into two administrative units
under the crown-a Flemish or Meth
misunderstanding portion, with Brus.
sells as its capital, and Walloon or
French-speaking half, with its capital
at Namur. The German authorities,
without waiting to see what the war
may bring forth, are planning to put
the administrative separation into eff
feet.
The department of education has al
ready been split i'll two and the ma
jority of the other ministries-justice,
the interior, the department of trade,
industry and agriculture-are to be
similarly treated, one group remaining
at Brussels and the other going to
Namur.
The political department." which
has the oversight of the food supply,
as carried out by the Belgian relief
commission, will remain undivided.
Divide on Languages.
The German press argues that it
will be comparatively easy to carry
through the proposed separation of
the Flemish and French-speaking pop
uations, the language frontier having
persisted for 1000 years.
With virtually unanimous voice the
Flemish and other Belgian leaders in
Holland join in mercilessly condemn
ing the deputation that thus went to
the capital of the enemy OF their
king and country. Several we'll
know Flemings hail the event as for

the "activist" group that has been CO.
operating with the Germans and stig-
matize their action as high treason"
Permanent dependence of our
Flemish people on Germany would be-
token the slow but certain loss of our
languages, our economical independ-
ence and our hereditary liberties"
declares DR.. van Cauwelaert, who is
a Catholic member of the Belgian
chamber, while Arthur Buysse, lib
eral member of the chamber, says:
"On the day that Flanders shall again
be free the council Of Flanders and
activism will cease to be. The Flem-
ings will demand that German insti-
tutions shall at once disappear with
the German commanders. The over
whelming mass of the Flemish pop
ulation 'entertains at least as much ha-
tired towards the activists as towards
the Germans"
Camille Haysmans, member of the
Belgian chamber and secretary of the
socialist internationale, declares: "The
of the council of Flanders
are nobodies and represent nothing
and nobody" Only one or two iso-
lated and feeble voices are raised
here in behalf of the suggested auton-
omous Flanders under the German
aegis.

PROBLEMS OF ITALY
AFTER WAR CLOSES
Reclamation of Land, Improv-
ing Agricultural Methods and
Better Means for Trans
portation Proposed.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Rome, April 30.-The prosperity of
Italy after the war depends upon the
solution of three great engineering
problems, in the opinion of Prof.
Luigi luigi, president of the Italian
Society of Civil Engineers. These
problems, he stated in an address
here this week, are: The reclama-
ton of marsh lands, the irrigation of
semi-arid tracts and the more COM
plete utilization of water power, espe-
cially in the production of chemical
fertilizers for the soil.
The chief interest of the United
States in Professor Luiggi's program
is found in his statement that it will
require large sums of foreign capital,
some of which Italy hopes to draw
from America.
During the last five years of
peace" said Professor Luiggi, "nearly
100000 of the best elements of our
rural population left their native vii
lagos to seek better conditions of la
Dor across the Atlantic, or, worse
still, in middle Europe. This excess
OF emigration is drawback to the
progress of Italy and of the Latin
races, as France has no increase at all
in her population, while the Teutonic
races increase very rapidly.
TO reduce emigration it is neces-
sary to offer to intending emigrants
work better paid and in healthier con-
ditions. This can be done by develop
ing the natural resources of Italy,
many of which are still lying dormant
or are not yet completely utilized.
by improving agricultural meth
DDS. putting in cultivation land that
now lies idle-either through excess
of water or for lack of fit-that is, by
draining marshes and irrigating many
semi-arid regions, especially in the
south, lands now almost sterile would
be blessed by the most luxuriant
crops. Also hydro-electric power
should be utilized better for the pro
duction of nitrates and other fertil-
izers and for developing many indus
tries connected with agricultural
products.
There should also be better means
OF transport, by rail, by road and by
water. The sanitary and social con-
ditions of the rural centers of popula-
ton should be improved by better wa
ter supplies, better sewage, better
housing and better schooling.
"All these problems involve numer-
GUS and important engineering works
and require large initial outlay of cap
ital, to be refunded. including yearly
interest, in about thirty to fifty years."

Parisians Are Talking
Of New "NationaI Shoe"

Paris, May 28.-All Paris is talking
of the national shoe"-a uniform
style of economical footwear intended
to cheaper prices and save leather.
The government is considering a
project of this kind but it is not so
comprehensive as the general public
supposes. 1t is proposed to adopt a
uniform style of cheap shoe for the
benefit of refugees and people in mod
est circumstances who are unable to
pay 50 francs a pair. Expensive shoes
with high tops for women will still
be made for those able to pay for
them.

LIVE STOCK SHOW

'The international Live Stock Show
is an event of more than ordinary i'm
portance to the average citizen this
year" says Thomas E. Wilson, presi-
dent Of Wilson & Company, "and ev-
erybody who can possibly do so should
visit it. The average person will get
some idea there of how the stock rails
ers of the country are studying and
working not only to improve the quail
ity but to increase the quantity Of
live stock on which the people depend
for large part of their food
"The idea of making the Show this
year sort Of a school for stock rails
ers is very good one The visiting
stockman will see the most modern
methods of housing and feeding cattle,
sheep and hogs, and he will go home
with some very helpful information a
long that line.
1T is good for the stock raisers to
get together in this way, and it is
even better for the stock raisers to
hold their show where they and the
packers can also get together. When
our company was organized our first
announcement was that we intended
to cooperate as closely as possible
with the stock raisers. We pointed
out at that time-nearly a year and
a half ago-that unless the supply OF
cattle, hogs and sheep was increased
the consumer would suffer. Today the
stock raiser and the packer are called
upon to supply the meat foods for al
most all the world. and in addition to
help conserve the supply of such foods.
In fact, conservation is more import
ant than anything else. The public
has responded splendidly to the meat
less day plan-but that in itself is
not the full solution of the problem.

The housewife and the cook are learn

The housewife and the cook are learn
ing how to use the cheaper cuts Of
meat and how to get better results
rom the meat supply Of the home. The
demonstration Of the best ways to use
these cuts should be one Of the most
interesting features of the show, and
should attract practically every house
wife.
But with all this the packers and
the stock raisers have to stand togeth-
er in the effort to increase the supply
Of live stock. I believe that a clearer
understanding Of our responsibilities
and an intelligent cooperation is 60
ing to help vastly. For that reason
believe that the International Live
Stock Show, bringing the stock raisers
here from all parts of the country, is
going to have a beneficial effect upon
the business and will be a direct help
to the consumer. That is why as many
of the general public as can do so
should make it special point to at
tend the show while it is on and get q
first hand knowledge Of the progress
that is being made IN the live stock
industry"

MINISTRAIlON

NATION Division

Recent statements in the press have
seemingly led to the widespread be-
lief that the United States Food Ad-
ministration has opposed the use of
cranberries and is advising the use Of
other fruits instead in making the
holiday sauces. Such is not the case.
The Food Administration is not urg-
ing the use of any other fruit in pre-
ference. to the cranberry in making
sauce or jelly. It has suggested that
as an emergency measure on account
of the pressure for sugar, preserves or
jellies that were put up during the
summer might be used in making
sauce now.
The Food Administration further
points out that corn syrup affords a
substitute for sugar in cooking cram
berries with only slight impairment
of flavor. Two-thirds sugar and one
third corn syrup may be used for the
jelly or slightly larger proportion of
corn syrup for the sauce.

WHY THE
CLOCK STOPPED

A big-hearted brawny son of Old
Erin migrated to America and after
coming to Milwaukee obtained job
on a farm in the county. The first
three mornings he was late in getting
up so the farmer for whom he worked
came to the city and bought an alarm
clock
Pat never saw an alarm clock before
and paid the strictest attention as he
was being shown how to turn it off IN
the morning after it had suddenly
aroused him from his peaceful slumber
The third morning the clock failed
to ring at a. m. and Pat slept until
nearly g. When he appeared in the
milking barn, the farmer was so an
gered that he discharged Pat imme-
diately. With a downcast heart Pat
went back to his room to pack up his
clothes. AS he sat on the corner OF
the bed thinking what next to do, a
happy thought struck him. He began
to take the clock apart. After taking
off the face and removing part of the
works Pat discovered large cock
roach dead inside of the spring. Rush
ing back to the barn he held the dead
cack-roach in one hand and the part
" dissected alarm clock in the other
and said to the farmer.
mo wonder the thing, stopped work
ing-the engineer died"
Pat is still "on the job"
