"A really beautiful woman is al
ways a healthy woman" remarked
ono Of our noted beauty specialists.
for true beauty comes from the blood
and strong, steady nerves."
Rich, red blood, the fountain Of life
and youth, shows itself in a clear, rosy
skin, solid flesh, fine form and keen
bright mind. Red blooded women,
with strong nervous vitality. are
sought after by men; they are the
hope and leaders Of the world.
American women lead the world in
health. beauty and intelligence. and
their number is increasing. They have
learned the value OF Iron and Phos-
pilates in keeping them in perfect con-
dition.
1.-THE number Of weak, pale, tagged
out, run down and nervous women is
bound to decrease rapidly, once the
power Of Phosphated Iron becomes
more generally known" said a lead
ing doctor. There is not reason
in the world why women should not
be strong, happy and Joy to look
upon when the remedy is at hand
"PhOsphated Iron has accomplished
wonders with my patients. 1t has re-
stored health. vitality, strong nerves
and happiness to whole families. It's
the healthy. red( iron blooded, strong.
phosphate-fed nerved men and women
that enjoy life and lead in every work"
Think it over!
To insure doctors and their patients

allow dealers to substitute pills or

Will you please give an outline of
the prohibition law to be put in force
here April 2?
Also whether an old age pension law
has been passed by the government or
the state of Ohio.
"A Number of Your Readers
The state prohibition law which was
passed by the state legislature Feb 8,
1917, and which becomes effective
April of this year, is described as
An act prohibiting the manufacture,
sale, gift, advertisement or transpor-
tation Of intoxicating liquor except for
certain purposes and under certain
conditions"
The provisions of the act make 1t
illegal for any person in the state to
dispose OF any intoxicating liquor
which may be in his possession, or to
keep liquor for the purpose OF selling
it,
Manufacture of wine or cider for
domestic consumption is not prohibit
ed, and provision is made by which
druggists may sell intoxicating liquor
for medicinal purposes. Prescriptions
for Intoxicating liquor may be written
only by physicians in good standing
and must contain the name Of the
physician, the date and directions for
use. Druggists who wish to sell in
toxicating liquor are required to file
applications with the clerk of the cir
cult court.
Any person convicted Of violation of
the act will be punished by fine OF
not less than $50 or more than $3.50,
and imprisonment in the county Jail
for ten days. The law provides for
the punishment Of prosecuting attor-
ney who does not enforce the act, and
states that where the prosecutor re-
fuses to put the law into effect, the
attorney general of the state has the
power to do So
The word intoxicating liquor as
used in the act, means all malt, vinous
or spurious liquor. containing so much
as one-half of one percent of alcohol
by volume, and all mixtures, whether
patented or not, likely or intended to
be used as beverage
There has been no old age pension
law passed by the government or state
legislature

Americanism to any illusioned scheme of interna-
tional good
1t happens that in all the altruistic schemes
there is only one certain result which will attend
the success of pacifist enthusiasts and Illusions
The pacfist, if he is successful in congress as ne
is in the administration, will produce weak
United States. They require that If the lnterna-
tional scheme should fail the United States
should be in the worst possible form to receive
the failure.
We are certain that the opinion Of Americans
is not represented in such enthusiasts, In such
policies of weakness, in such DISTRICT of the et-
fects of strong Americanism. The pride OF
Americans in their nation is not mixed with fear
of it, of its purposes and principles. That pride
does not contain fear of Matchmaking devices. II
the people are told frankly that they cannot have
universal service because this service would in
crease the vigor of their Americanism we are
sure they would have no use for the objections to
the national protective scheme. Yet this is pre-
cisely the fear of the altruists and pacifists.
They insist upon abating national emotions as
dangerous emotions.
The support which Senator New of Indiana
gives universal service represents more than the
opinion of an intelligent man considering the
needs of the United States It represents sound
American opinion, and the political expression of
this opinion is not true when it expresses timid-
ity and fear and when it opposes the protective
scheme of universal service, which we believe the
country will adopt gladly if congress will give it
the chance.
We believe the people have sounder views
than many of their political representatives,

Support for Americanism

freedom, was that it reaffirmed in his mind the
necessity of permanent military policy III the

political management and office have given him
the steady, clear perceptions which keep sens-

Senator News advocacy of universal service
is more than the advocacy of needed scheme of

of political thought in the middle west. We are
convinced that the enthusiasm which is aloof
from popular thought is the enthusiasm for peace

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Secretary Bakers Visit to the Front

The visit of Secretary Baker to the west
our military establishment which he never could
have gained from reports submitted by American
officers.
An inspection Of the vast war machinery
which America has transported and set in motion
in France will tell him as nothing else can where
the weak spots are. It will also inspire him with
a new conception of the task that confronts US.
Secretary Baker has been bitterly attacked at
home for the delay that has characterized some
of our preparations. but even his most acrid OPP
ponents have never accused him of being slack
er or a lazy man. The secretary has worked
harder than any man in his department. Dis
patches from France show that he is putting the
same energy and untiring zeal into execution
there.
Front line trenches have no terrors for him,
and the explosion of a German shell near his au-
tomobile the other day did not deter him from
carrying out the inspection he had planned in
that sector of the line.
When he returns to the United States, ne
will bring with him message which all Amerl-
cans will be glad to hear. Our boys are giving
good account of themselves in their fighting with
the Germans. Secretary Bakers presence among
them will enthuse and inspire them. 1t will let
them know that the folks back home are thinking
of them and are doing all they can to supply them
with the essentials of warfare. We are anxl-
ously awaiting the message that Secretary Baker
will give us. Reciprocally he ought to inspire the
non-combatants with the report of his visit.
