DOCTORS MAKE
IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT
They Take The Public In Their
Confidence.

RELIABLE physicians believe that
broken down nerve tissues need not
d pracer but builder like Phos.
phates and Iron. To get these essen
tlal food tonics to the nerves has
long been the big question
"A successful physician says, "Phos-
pnated Iron is an especially adapted
discovery that has solved the prob.
lem OF giving Phosphates and Iron in
such a way that the nervous system
can actually take hold OF it.
Another, an equally important mis-
sion OF Phosphated Iron is to build
up anaemic (thin, weak, watery)
blood by charging it with good health
giving Iron
A leading doctor says, "Phosphated
iron is the best Iron tonic that l have
ever prescribed, its results are re-
markable.
Strengthening the nerves, building
up their starved tissues and recharg-
ing weak, watery blood with the great
health restoratives, Iron and Phos-
pilates is the mission of Phosphated
Iron. You who are nervous, weak,

to substitute pills or tablets, insist on

SEES GERMANS
PUT TO ROUT
Former Iowa Newspaper Man In Let
ter Home, Says Foes Hope Of
Gain Turned to Defeat
by Y. S.

IOWA CITY. Iowa, Aug 23.-Eight
different German divisions, including
the famous Twenty eighth. have been
in the line against the American
troops on the Chateau-Thierry front
writes Lieut.. Conger Reynolds, for
mer professor of journalism At the
University Of Iowa in a letter to Presi-
dent w. A. Jessup.
"A letter was found on one mem
Der of the Twenty eighth division"
he tells, "iii which they boosted Of
their intention to cut the Americans
to pieces. The result Of that inten-
ion was that the German division got
terribly crushed and gained not a
foot. The American in France feels
q new spirit OF confidence now"
Lieutenant Reynolds declares. Where
before we hoped that we could do as
well as our allies. we now know that
we can do as well. If not better. To
me the outlook seems more hopeful
than 1t has since the collapse of Rus
STA" This letter was written June
I2S.
"It used to be easy to keep track
Of the American participation, but it
| is no longer. In March we didn't
count much on casting up the relative
strengths. But our troops that we are
training in quiet sectors are now Of
the first-line forces. The American
arrivals are sufficient to Offset the re-
serve that Germany gained from Rus
STA. The Germans surely can't win
now Our winning is another matter
which anybody who knows war on
this front does not look for immedi-
ately.
'I had the good luck to be in tt, in
so far as a mere conducting officer
can be in it, during the afternoon that
notable advance in the Bots de Belleau
and against the Bouresches. During
the succeeding days I was close in
the rear of the fighting that followed
and received impressions that will
last always of the magnificent spirit
with which the Americans were max
ing good in that first big test Of bat
tie"

Not Expected to Change Results.

Leaders of both the democratic and
the republican party say openly that,
even If placed on the ballot in No
vember, these candidates nominated
in contravention to the war work idea
have no chance of election.
Having no opposition does relieve
a candidate Of much work and time
spent in a campaign, and this was
much appreciated by those who are
very hard at work, as on the exemp-
ton board and the like, or making
many patriotic speeches and working
in every way to help win the war.
This new action Of the county cen
trail committee will change this stu
alton at least, and the candidates are
much interested in it.

County Central Committee Decides to
Attempt to Put Candidate up
for Every Office in the
County.
INTEND TO FIGHT IT OUT
Take Issue with the Attorney General
on the Legal Decision That
Primary Closes the
Ballot.

The democratic county central com
mittee, at meeting held at West
Point, formally and finally decided to
fill the entire ticket by filing nomi'
nations Of the party for every office
on the ballot in Lee county.
This was on the advice Of State
Chairman Reynolds who sent down
the opinion of lawyer that the at
torney general Is mistaken when he
ruled that the primary closed the bal
lot, and nominations may not be
made by convention If not made al
the primary election.
The state chairman intimated that
If the party fails to get its men
placed In the election, 1t will begin
legal proceedings to test in the
courts the question of law involved
by proceedings against those declared
elected by the election boards.

Are Determined to FIJI It.


The Lee county central committee
resolved to file with the county audi
tor the nominations made by its Fort
Madison convention. All but one OF
these published his withdrawal soon
after that convention, but the central
committee says these Withdrawals are
not in legal form and are inefect1ve
But Il any Of these attempted can
didates do withdraw by legal notice

fill the blanks thus left by the county

If this were carried out, it would

the candidates nominated by the

Attempted Reciprocal Action.
The situation in Lee comfy has be
come rather mixed up on account OF
several reversals of ideas following
in sequence
The republican county convention
decided that in these war times poll
tics should be adjourned. 1t adopted
the principle that good man II
office, doing his share of war work
if a democrat, should not be opposed
at the polls next November. Accord
ingly, it omitted to nominate candi
dates against such democrats.
The democratic county convention
in session in the same town at the
same time, discussed this idea also

Some delegates to it say that the
