DOCTORS GIVE
REASONS FOR
SPRING FEVER
Explain Its Real Meaning

THE name spring fever" said we'll
known physician IN conversation the 9th
er day, is a misnomer, and is largely Q
figure OF speech, used to describe the
peculiar lassitude that SO many people
complain Of 1T the expiration OF our win
ter months. Il is physiological condi.
ton well known To- the medical profes-
sion. and is not a fever at all, but a gen.
eFal letting down OF natures forces, par
ticularly the nervous centers, due TO the
deficiency OF. iron and phosphorus, both
of which are absolutely necessary for
The maintenance of bodily vigor.
"Of course" he continued "the exces.
sive meat eating. the loss of green veg.
ctables and OF oxygen, of which there is
so little in the average heated house, all
play their part The result is that ma.
ture is calling for an increased output of
the vital forces during the winter months
and this demand means more phosphorus
and iron. For il is these two potent rem.
edies combined which are natures arma-
ment in her defensive warfare. With the
advent of warm weather. the pores act
more freely and the heart slows up, and
that peculiar lassitude which we call
spring fever is manifested
And the remedy, doctorg" an inter
csted listener asked. "Why, my dear
sir, the remedy for these starved nerve
and blood centers is phosphatcd Iron.
But there is no reason why we should
ever reach this point, if we would, from
time to time, take that well-known rem
edy, Phosphated Iron, and so maintain
the physiological balance, az shown by
our color. our sense OF we'll being, push
and activity, all of which are necessary
to make life worth WHILE
And the doctor was right.

London, April 26-The British lost
nearly 1000 guns, between 1000 and
1000 machine guns and the total manu-.
facture of ammunition of between one
and three weeks since the present battle
in France begun, Minister Spencer Church
i'll, minister OF munitions, told the House
OF Commons yesterday. All these losses
have been made good.
The munitions ministry, said Mr..
Churchill, placed at the disposal of air

number of guns lost or destroyed in the
battle of France. There were now added
actually more serviceable guns as whole
and more of virtually every calibre than
there were when the battle began.

WIN WAR IN KITCHEN
New Slogan Of the People Of
Great Britain.
Bones Saved by the Housewives Are
Turned Into Munitions Of
War.

London-Save that old bone; 1t may
kill German.
This is the thought that flashes
through the mind of the English house
wife these days following an appeal
made to her to conserve all the old
bones from the kitchen, that they may
be used in the manufacture Of glycer-
in and then incorporated into bombs
and shells for the army in France.
The movement has the approval of the
minister of munitions.
The appeal to the housewife says
that bones will produce grease, which
yields glycerin for explosives; glue
for the making of airplanes and bone
meal, q fertilizer which increases food
crops and thus aids in the battle
against the German submarines.
For the bones which were formerly
thrown away or burned the housewife
Will receive one cent pound from
her butcher or margarine dealer, who
in turn will receive profit of one cent
n pound in turning them over to the
general collector, to whom fair prof
it also Is allowed.
From the enthusiastic response from
the women of England 1t begins to
look as If the plan to win the war In
the kitchen" will prove popular with
those unable to go to the front or
otherwise offer their services to the
government.

men from its research department to
make q careful survey of the former
saloon properties in the territory
bounded by Pennsylvania avenue
south, q street north, North Capitol

the city.
OF the $50 saloons, barrooms, ho-
tells, breweries and former wholesale
liquor houses, 1t was found that SO
were occupied by some legitimate in
dustry. Twenty-seven were being used
as cafes, oyster houses, restaurants or
lunch rooms; number were devoted
to soft drinks. Nine were supplying
the public with groceries. Other
places were being used as warehouses,
shoe stores, furniture stores, business
offices, automobile supply houses, bar
Der shops and places of amusement.
Only 3S of these $50 properties were
for rent. Quite number were being
remodeled for occupancy.
