An effort will be made there to introduce

Dr. Grenfel has long held the theory
that the caribou might be inbred with
reindeer TO produce an highly efficient
draft animal, suitable for use along the
north coast. He was unable to give this
theory thorough test in Newfoundland,
The country selected as the new home of
the reindeer is remote from settled areas
and considered we'll suited for the pur-
pose. By agreement with the govern.

The Grenfell herd consists Of 300 ami

by the missionary IL years ago at st.

MEN And WOMEN
IN FIGHTING TRIM.
They Keep to the Top
Notch of Health

The spirit Of the times demands per-
feet health and nerves, and keeping them
up to the highest degree of efficiency.
Wise men and women have learned
that it does not pay to allow health or
nerves to run down and are quick TO take
advantage of natures greatest red blood
and nerve tonic, Phosphated Iron, the
minute they feel they are slowing up.
Whatever your WORK may be, there is
no reason why it should continue to tire
you; work should only use the right
amount of your energy. 1t is try
ing to work on your nerves, forcing
yourself that wastes your strength, runs
you down, gives you those restless nights,
loss Of appetite and indigestion, when
you get up in the morning as tired as
when you went to bed. There is 20 sense
in anyone being victim of i'll health,
poor blood, overwork, nerves or the blues
when Phosphated Iron will afford such
prompt and permanent relief.
All over the country men and women
in every walk of life lay their good
health, strength and nerves of iron to the
use of Phosphated I'm, the red blood
and nerve builder, and it will also put
you on your feet, make you feel like a
live one. 1t produces results that last,
that's what counts, no "if's' about it.
To insure physicians and their pa
tients getting the genuine Phosphated
Iron, we have put in capsules only. Do
not take pills or tablets Insist on cap
sules.

LACK OF SHIPPING
HURTS BUSINESS
Commercial Relations Between United
States and South America Are in
a Serious Condition.

Washington, D. G., July 3I.-Commer
cial relations between the United States
and South America are in q serious con.
dition because of the war.
The lack of shipping has caused de
crease in the amount of manufactured
goods to Argentina, and the factories
of that country are unable to meet the
demand. Some of the factories require
raw materials that have formerly been
obtained in the United States and have
been compelled to shut down or greatly
to curtail their forces.
The entrance Of the United States into
the war marked the end of extensive
shipping between this country and Ar
gentina Besides few steamships, some
sailing vessels still visit Argentina, ac-
cording ITO consular advice, but they are
so small that navigation ia dangerous
and they do not even approximate the
demands of commerce. The most needed
articles are heavy iron castings and
coal.
Argentine business men are greatly
concerned because some of the vessels
arriving at Buenos Aires have come in
ballast, caused, they say, by the fact
that they were sent away from the Unit
ed States hurriedly to get the cargoes
of products in Argentina that are need
ed In this country.
The United States has credit of $780,,
100000 in Buenos Aires which will be
increased, according to this information,
by $4O,000O00 to be used as basis of
exchange in trade. 1t is said this situa-
ton requires diplomatic arrangement
and that this is one Of the affairs to oc-
cupy the attention of Ambassador Neon,
who has just returned to Washington
after six months absence.
Materials from Argentina sought by
the United States and the other nations
at war with Germany include beef, sheep,
hides and wool, principally. According
to official figures recently issued by the
Argentine government there are S0,000,-
900 sheep in the republic as compared
with 43 100000 in 1914, the last year in
which figures are available. The wool
clip last year was situated at 100000
900 kilos, valued at approximately $780,
600 900. The exports of Argentine last year
aggregated about Sl75000000 and the
imports Slg0,O00,000. There were 3,000,-
900 head of cattle exported, principally
to the United States, England and
France.
To meet the situation caused by the
lack of ships the Argentine government
has decided to change several old war.
ships to merchant vessels and to buy
more ships wherever they can be found.
This is another of the problems with
which Ambassador Neon will deal
Similar conditions are reported from
Chile. Exports from the United States
of manufactured goods have been vir
tually suspended except on a limited
number of articles Complaint is made
that large number of vessels from the
United States arrive at Chilien ports
in ballast to bring nitrates to the Unit
ed States. Urgent requests have been
made to this country to permit those
vessels to carry cargoes OF needed conn
modities
