PLAIN NATURAL
IRON BEST TONIC
Costs but Fraction What Weaker
Preparations Sell Fora Spoonful
In a Glass of Water Dose.


The absolute proof that medicinal
iron would help the blood and
strengthen people wonderfully has
caused many chemists to perfect more
or less efficient iron toncis and more
or less efficient tablets.
For most people, however, the
writer would say that just plain high
ly concentrated Acid Iron Mineral is
better, far cheaper and stronger and
goes from two to six times as far.
A bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, kept
handy and teaspoonful poured in
glass of drinking water after meals,
makes a delightful, very unusual and
highly beneficial tonic and strength
ener, and if the blood needs enriching
It would be hard to find
anything u.. does it better or rids
the system Of rheumatism and kim
dred ailments quicker than just plain
concentrated Acid Iron Mineral,
which is the name for non-alcoholic
natural iron.
1t also has beneficial effect upon
appetite and digestion, and the kid
neys soon show its effects.
(Note:-) AIM does not act as a
laxative and should one be needed to
stimulate the liver or bowels good
laxative tablet like AIM Liver Pills
is recommended.

LONE FISHERMAN BOARDS
U-BOAT AND KILLS TWO
British Destroyer Comes to Rescue;
Submarine and Crew Taken

Baltimore, Md.-The daring and de-
sperate fight of British fisherman, in
which he killed the commander and a
member of the crew of a German sub
marine, is told by British naval man
Who is visiting in this city.
The fisherman was alone in his tiny
craft a few miles off the coast of Eng
land when suddenly the coming tow
er of U-boat shot up near him, and
then a brace of shots blew the small
craft into splinters. Fighting for his
life in the sea the brave fisherman had
nearly abandoned hope when his foot
touched the deck of the submarine,
again coming to the surface.
He improved his foothold. The con-
ming tower opened and the U-boat
commander thrust out his head. 1t
was his last thrust, for the frenzied
Britisher, realizing that he was to die
anyway, made a flying tackle and
careht the U-boat chief around the
neck
Hanging ON like the proverbial
British bulldog, he was fast choking
the life out of the Hun when a mem
Der of the U-boat crew came hurrying
up the ladder of the coming tower.
But the daring Englishman was not
daunted. He had jerked the Hun
commander half way out of the con-
ming tower, and, seized with an in
SEPARATION, snatched that worthys au-
tomato from his belt and fired down
into the coming tower at the new
conner, blowing out his brains. An
other shot finished the captain.
At that particular stage of the pro-
ceedings a British destroyer hove in
sight and, coming speedily up, cap
tured the U-boat and its crew, and
rescued the English fisherman. The
Hun commander was buried at sea-
as was the other chap, whose brains
the fisherman had scattered

Mr.. Frank H. Spencer is in receipt
of the following very interesting let
ter from his son, Alton G. Spencer,
who is with an American Aero Squad
ron in England:
England, September 8, 1918.
Mr.. Frank Spencer:
Dear Dad:
Received your letter the other day
and | should have written sooner but
have been putting it off and have al
so been working pretty steady since
l have hit England.
| hope you are feeling better and
am also glad the insurance papers
were received by Opal all right as
haven't heard from her since she got
them. The insurance don't cost so
awfully much and as you say is n
mighty good thing. I only wish that
l could have come down while l was
in the States but we left both places
tain we were to go across so soon
Had a fine time coming across, al
though it got tiresome as the mischief
after three or four days out. 1t was a
little hard getting accustomed to
sleeping in hammocks and being toss
ed about but we were getting used to
it by the time we got across.
We have been to two or three dit.
ferent camps and are now settled pc e
manently at an English flying fie'l
Where we are now there are OF "
three American Squadrons, that IS
only about four hundred men. We
are all working at our different trat s
and are getting accustomed to tie
English methods of working | am
now working in the engine repair de-
partment, repairing engines. Mostly
everything they use over here are the
Rotary's. They have quite a few ac-
cidents and so you see we have plenty
of work. We have it right nice over
here, living in barracks. We are IN
British rations and don't get quite as
much to eat as we did in the Stat S,
but take it it as a whole we are set
ting along fine.
Everything is different here thar it
is back home, seems to be old fashion,
ed. We spent two or three days IN
trains and have seen quite a bit of
| England. One amusing thing over
here are the trains. The engines
would make good sized dinkeys and
their cars are about the size of ours
but are divided into compartments
| holding eight people each. All the
time we have been here ! haven't seen
but two or three wooden houses. Ev-
erything is made of brick, wood is so
scarce.
The English people sure treat us
royal and we get along with them
quite well, although they have a lot
of different ways than us. We are
called Yanks every place and are
looked upon as quite a novelty
Don't know how long we will be in
England and the way the war looks
now, don't look like we will be need
ed across here much longer. We can't
write as much as we would like on ac-
count of the censorship, so will close
for this time. With love,
ALTON.

BALTIMORE AMERICAN.

New York, Oct. S.-Search for the
plant of the I. A. Gillespie Loading
company at Morgan, N. j., simultan-
eously with the beginning of prelim-
mary work of reconstructing the plant.
A steady downpour of rain and the
exhaustion of explosives enabled both

pected to exceed S25,000,000.
Only "a bodies had been taken from

RED CROSS LISTS NURSES
Graduates and Others Needed by
Army, Navy and Local Hospitals
to Care for "Flu" Patients.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Every graduate
nurse, every pupil, practical nurse,
midwife and hospital attendant who
can possibly do nursing or assist in a
sick room, is being listed this week by
the American Red Cross at the request
of Secretary of War Baker and Sur
geon General Gorgas This applies not
only to continental United States. but
to all the territories and insular pos
sessions, and to American Red Cross
chapters in China, Japan and all parts
of the world.
The army and navy are in great
need of more nurses, and the govern
ment wants to know just what mate
rial it has, and how many nurses may
be withdrawn without putting civilian
welfare into too great peril.
The need of definite knowledge is
emphasized by the epidemic of Spanish
influenza which is sweeping over the
country and causing a greater de-
mand than ever for nurses.

WILSON CREETS
BRITISH ADMIRAL
Admiralty Board, Headed by
yrst Sea Lord, Arrives in
Washington.
Dimes WITH THE PRESIDENT
Sir Eric Geddes Pays High Tribute to
the United States Enlisted Men
confers With American
Navy Chiefs

Washington, Oct 9.-An admiralty
board headed by Sir Eric Geo-
des, first lord of the British ad-
miralty, arrived in Washington as
the guests of the navy depart
ment The party came in response
to an invitation extended by Secretary
Daniels to Sir Eric to return the visit
to England of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt of the navy department. Sir
GeddeS said:
'For the last 10 months we on our
side have had the opportunity OF see
ing your navy at work, and am
voicing the opinion not only of the
British navy and the British nation,
but of the whole of the allies when /
say that your sailors, no less than your
gallant troops, have won the deepest
admiration.
Stewardship, technical skill, endur-
ance, ingenuity and good fellowship
all of these we knew we could ex-
pect from the United States navy, and
it is these very qualities in degree
far exceeding our anticipations which
have endeared your officers and men
to us all.
"The dauntless determination which
the United States has displayed in
creating a huge trained body of sea-
men out of landsmen is one of the
most striking accomplishments of the
war. Had it not been effectively done
one would have thought it impossible"
The fact that the admiralty vessel
which brought the party to the United
States flew the admiralty flag may
have significance. Never before has
this ensign been flown out of British
home waters. 1t means that a board
of the admiralty, vested with full pow
ers to make decisions for the admir-
atty which need not be referred for
confirmation, was on the ship.
Admiral Benson, chief of operations,
escorted the visitors to Washington.
Sir Eric took luncheon with Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House.
At the conferences all matters in
volved in the joint effort of the allies
and the United States to crush Ger
man naval power and also to make
safe the seas for troop transports were
discussed
The only incident of the trip across,
Sir Eric said, was also a good Omen.
About twenty-four hours out, a young
American eagle alighted in the radio
aerials of the ship.
