DISCOVERY OF
IROCEN AMAzES
ENTIRE NATION
Remarkable New Element Re-
stores Health and Vital
Powers, Declare
Scientists.

Few announcements in many
years have caused such wide
spread interest in medical and
scientific circles and among the
public in general as that re-
Gently made regarding the dis
coYery of Irogen and it's rela-
ton to the blood of the human
system.
The wonderful power or Irogen
to rebuild natural strength,
health and vigor of blood and
mind is now attributed by ply
sicians and druggists everywhere
to it's blood building power.
Irogen, they explain, regener-
ates human blood, for it has
been demonstrated beyond the
possibility of doubt that Iro-
gen supplies nature with the
element absolutely essential to
the formation of new blood.
The discovery of Irogen has
revived POPULAR interest in the
old question: What Is the life
of the body?" Scientists have
always claimed that the blood is
the life; that ii is the Immediate
scourcesof all nourishment and
strength for eve cry nerve muscle
and organ. They point to the
fact that when the body is rob-
bed of blood. as by hemorrhage.
it dies; that when the blood is
of poor quality the organs are
weak; and now they point out
that Irogep. which is known to
regenerateIthe blood, also re-
builds the strength aud vigor of
the entire system.
The entire nation has been
m a d over possibilities
brought to light throug h
the discovery of Irogen, and
rightly SO for this discovery has
practical interest of far reach
ing Importance to the public in
general. It il known that the
world is literally full of people
whose blood is below the stand
ard of vigorous health and whose
strength aud vital resistance to
disease is therefore very weak.
Almost eYerv household, it is
said, contains one or more per-
sons whose vitality is below
normal--not necessarily invalids

The Opposition To

matter of naturalization--or of

measures. seems to have been
exactly in accord with the At

adfninistration-at least insofar
as Senator Shields has had any
thing to do with it-or has had
time to think about it. It is
probable that he has not lost
many nights sleep over 1T.
The Attorney Generals view
of the especial matter of natur-
alization which is urged as a bar
to Senator Shields return TO the
Senate-appears to have been in
accord with judiciil pre- ;edents
and decision in naturalization
cases. 1t seems that Senator
kShields has been so unmindful
Of his duty as to agree with the
Attorney General and the law
books.
Neither this matter of nAtur-
alization, nor any matter of
naturalization has been before
the Senate, except in the pre-
sentatioR of record furnished

Senator Shields owed to the
Attorney General and to the
humblest citizen of Tennessee.

(By Fl. M. Doak)

just at this time when the
civilized world is engaged in q
great war and straining every
nerve and sinew to rid the earth
of Prussian domination, a sena-
torlal primary is to choose a
senator to succeed Hon. John X.
Shields. The popular view is
that he ought to succeed hlm-
self. No sound reason, or one
that will stand moments an
alysis. why he should not has
yet been set out.
Judge Shields was practicing
law at Knoxville when he was
elected to serve onNthe supreme
bench of Tennessee. None i'll
the state stood higher as man or
as lawyer. No judge ever left
the bench with a clearer record
for high judicial attainmepts or
with more of public respect for
him as man. Because of his
great ability and especially for
his profound knowledge of con-
stitutional law, he was chosen
by the legislature to- represent
Tennessee in the Senate of the
United States.
He is now q candidate TO sue
coed himself after years of SER
vice at trying time in which
he has so faithfully discharged
his duties that no criticism of
any public act of his is heard.
His senatorial record is beforethe
public. The senate journal and
the proceedings of that body
show how he has discharged his
duties, how he has voted upon
public measures and what laws
of public Importance he has ad-
vocated.
That record shows that he has
been warm, constant and con-
sistant supporter of the admin
istration in the one matter of
present Importance to the peo-
pie of America and to the peo-
pie Of Tennessee. His broad
practical knowledge of constitu.
tlonal law has been of the great
est valu at crucial moments re-
speeding measures Of the utmost
Importance, comforting enlarg-
ing and defining the powers OF
the President. 1t was of vital
Importance that such measures
should be enacted, of supreme
moment that they should be

jections. Just here Senator
Shields aid was invaluable. He
is known, trusted and relied
upon by the administration in
its vast work aimed at the de-
struction of Gefman oligarchical
military power for now and for
ever.
i So far as observation. reading
and hearing goes, but one public
opinion prevails in tennessee
That this is not a time\for poll
tics, nor a time for personal and
| private ambitions-that Sepator
Shields should be retained in
the Senate because he has done,
is doing and may be trusted to
go on doing his duty as a sena-
tor upon all lines-especially
upon the supreme and only line
of the slightest present impor-
lance. This view is along the
line of Mr.. Wilson's notion that
politics should be adjourned. Tc
this view but very slight dissent

AT END OF GLACIAL PERIOD
Geological Authority Makes Dedue.
tons From Shrinking of Great
Ice Cap at the South Pole. s.

DR.. Marsden Manson of San Fran
cisco, an eminent authority on geology,
points to the fact established by re-
cent Antarctic explorers that the great
ice cap is shrinking Froa this he
draws the conclusion that the gradual
subsistence of the Age of Ice of which
the polar lee caps are the existing
remnants, is still going on and that
we live, so to speak, at the tail end Of
the glacial period. He expresses the
conviction that the same succession
of geological climates has prevailed
in Antarctic as In other ATTITUDES. and
says that the evidence collected in re-
cent Antarctic explorations is corrobo-
rated by the comparatively recent M
covering of temperate land areas and
the progressive retreat of the snow
line to higher elevations in temperate
and tropical ATTITUDES and toward the
poles at sea level. He comes to the
conclusion that the disappearance OF
the lee Age is an active present process
and must be accounted for by activi-
ties and energies now at work He
considers it as proved that the rates
and lines of retreat are and have been
determined by exposure to solar en-
ergy and the temperature established
thereby and by the difference in the
specific heat of the land and water
hemispheres.

due To this demand for munitions that
