AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN IN
 FIGHTING TRIM
They Keep To The Top
 Notch of Health.

The spirit of the times demands perfect health and nerves, and keep ing 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. It is trying to work on your nerves and forcing yourself that wastes your strength, runs you down, gives you those restless nights, less of appetite and indigestion, when you get up in the morning as tired as when you went to bed.
 There is no sense in anyone being victim of i'll health, poor blood over work, 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 Iron the red blood and nerve builder, and it will also put you on your feet, make you feel like live one. It produces results that last. that's what counts no 'ifs' about 1t.
 To insure physicians and their pa tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only Doanot take pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.

BRITISH "BLIMP" BLOWS UP HUGE
 HUN U-B0AT
Dirigible Fires Depth Bomb That Creates Havoc on
 Submarine.

London, Nov. 9-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Out from a dense fog streaking the sea shot a small dirigible called "blinp", manned by three Allied flyers. Di- rectly in front of them mile away, was a U-boat with it's coming tower and decks well out of the water, says an account of one of the most success full encounters of a British aircraft with a German submarine.
 Opening out his engine to its full capacity, the pilot steered straight for the German craft, many of whose crew were on deck. They had seen the airship approaching and immedi- ately brought a quick-hring gun into action. With shells bursting about them, the airmen pushed on and soon were within effective machine gun range.
 The observer used his gun to such good effect that with one drum he ac- counted for the submarines gun crew. Thereupon the Germans, without waiting to rescue their wounded, be- gan hurriedly to submerge.
 Meanwhile the wireless operator of the "blinp" was busy sending out ur- gent signals to various patrol boats and submarine chasers known to be in the vicinity.
 Climbing to a height of about 1,5Oo | feet, the pilot now got ready to use the machines heavy bombs. The U- | boat, although submerged was still easily visible, and taking careful aim l through his sights the "blimp's" gum ner pulled the trigger of the releasing l gear.
 The airship, released of a heavy weight, shot up like an express eIeva-
 tor in a New York skyscraper, but careless of it's movements it's occu- pants hung over watching the bomt sink swiftly until it struck the water perhaps 200 feet ahead of the target
 When it's fuse came into action, g
 flash of lightning seemed to Til
 through the dark depths of the ocean
 and peculiar brown, cloudy mass en.
 veloped the fore part of the U-boat 4 It seemed ages before the effect O.
 the explosion reached the surface
 Then, like a geyser, the water sho
 into the air. In the center of disturb
 ance the gaping hull of the submarin,
 slowly appeared and its crew could b.
 seen leaping overheard.
 By this time two British moto launches were racing to the spot, bu they fortunately were far enough ava, to escape the effects of terrific ex , plosion which now occurred Tn magazine of the U-boat had bee, l fired, and with a succession of might } detonations the whole craft was liter } ally blown to pieces.
 The occupants of the "bHmp'' wer badly shaken, but they escaped with l out injury.

ORGANIZED LABOR WILL NOT ACCEPT
 WAGE REDUCTION
Secretary Morrison Says Stand ard of Living Must Not
 Be Lowered.

Washington, Nov. 26.---Reduction of resent wage scales in the United tates will be opposed by the wor,i CTS, rank Morrison, secretary of the , Anerican Federation of Labor, said a a statement dealing with recon truction as 1t affects labor. Any de- rease in wages will mean Q lowering If living standard, he said and this gorkmen will resist.
 Regardless of the wishes of indi- 1duals or groups" said MT. Morri- on, "any reduction of present wage .cales in this country will be opposed " the workers, who will not accept wage reductions for the simple rea.- on that this procedure will lower heir standard of living. And by tandard of living I refer to substan- ial food, clothing, housing, and all leceSsaries to a we'll ordered life.
 "TIhe cost of living Is not theory Ath the workers, it is @ plain un- arn1shed tale,' that cannot be ex- lained away by sophistry. The Unit d States bureau of statistics shows hat living costs are mounting higher nd higher Its report for August, hts year, shows in increase of 3 per lent over last July, an Increase of 15 ger cent. between August last year md August this year, and an increase 70 per cent. during the five-year ,eriod between August, 1913, and Au- 1lst, 1918.
 '-The right to live comes first, and workers will resist any attempt to re- tuce their living standards, in view f present costs, even though some
 nployer talks of capturing the mar .ets of the world.
 'I am hopeful that the best thought
 mong employers and other clements our citizenship Will agree that lothing will create more internal tur- noil than a denial that the highest 'ossible living standards for workers 2, the first requisite for the America we dream to have.
 ''The e1ght-hour day should be ac,
 opted by every manufacturer, mol nly because the transition to a peace 'asis may be orderly through the 1 utck assimilation of workers, but foI i he larger reasons that have so often 'een advanced in favor of a shorter york day"
