NEW YORK, March Ga possible
rejoinder to the last speech of the
German chancellor was seen today in
the following statement by Lord
Reading, in his address at the ff-
teenth annual dinner Of the Pilgrims
of the United States:
'The British empire is aggrega-
lions Of nations with power to rule
themselves"
This was considered significant in
view Of the chancellor's statement
that Germany was ready to consider
self determination when Britain ap.
piled 1t to her colonies.
Lord Reading spoke at length re-
garding General SHUTS, the South
African hero, pointing out that this

NURSES
r
One Thousand Per Month Is Not
Enough to FIJI Present
Needs Of the Red
Cross.
IBy United Press.l

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
American Red Cross wants able
bodied American women to go to
France as nurses.
The present enrolment of 1000
nurses a month, the Red Cross an
nounced, has become insufficient. Re-
cruiting must be Immediately stimu-
lated. Between 10000 and 10000
nurses will be required for the Amer
lean army alone, within a short
time" it was stated. Furthermore,
"the allies are depending on us to
supplement their own nursing lei
vices"
There are approximately 10000
registered nurses in the United
States today. or these $500 are
enrolled Red Cross nurses. of whom
a majority are in active service, ready
for mobilization or prepared for spe-
cifc service, it was stated.
Already, the Red Cross has
equipped and sent abroad 1,79O
nurses for service with the army and
navy nurse corps; has provided about
$500 nurses for home service with
the army and navy corps in camp and
cantonment hospitals; and has over
1000 nurses organized into units
ready for mobilization.
Besides these, ffty-sfx Red Cross
public health nurses are on duty in
the sanitary surrounding IAN
tonments; eighty-nine serving direct
ly under the American Red Cross in
France; twelve in Rumania; three in
Greece; and M in Siberia.
Army estimates are for 10000
nurses for each 1,000,O 900 men In the
field.
Red Cross & 1imits-lowered
since the war started-are from 81
to 40 years. In special cases, these
restrictions are waived.
Red Cross nurses on duty are en-
titled to the same government war
risk insurance as are soldiers and
sailors.

A KEOKUk MAN
HIGHLY PLEASED

my father is no longer i'll with
nervous indigestion and thanks Tan
lac for his present good health" says
Arthur J. Huele, who lives at 1906
Carroll street, keokuk.
Mr.. Huele's father Is George
Huele. Continuing, he says: Before
father took Tanlac he suffered a great
deal. Almost everything he ate dis
agreed with him. Gas formed and
made him miserable. He grew very
weak from lack Of healthy nourish-
ment. But Tanlac has changed all OF
this. He now has a fine appetite and
nothing seems to hurt him. His
sleep is sound too"

hundreds Of people. Mrs. Reeve Is a
strong advocate of Tanlac. For six
years she suffered with q swelling In
her arms and limbs and a very poor
circulation. AT times she entirely
lost the use of one arm and one limb,
There we're months that she could
not go up stairs unassisted. Her
family and friends were worried about
her condition. After taking Tanlac
for a few weeks her health returned.
This story is best told in her own
words. She says:
81 am sure Tanlac relieved me,
otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.
I tried about everything before |

Its Effects In tho human Body Are
Like Good OIL In Machinery;

We sometimes wonder IL the man
who first thought of tho automobile
got his idea from the human body.
Both generate their own power and
waste. A serious ailment of the hui
man body ts now styled "auto-intoxi-
cation"
Auto-intoxtcation has its origin for
the most part, In the Kidneys, stom-
ach and liver. ~Anto' means "Self'
and Toxin" means poison" so the
ailment might otherwise be termed
"Selfpotsonjng."
When the organs become weakened
from any aus they are unable to
throw off waste matter. A%uto-intoxt.
cation is largely responsible for low
vitality. poor circulation, tired feel
ing. catarrh Inc many other Ills.
Under These conditions the organs
become weak and the toxins-or act.
ual poisons-are permitted to gener.
ate within ones body.
Stomach and intestinal trouble and
affections of the mucous membranes
may. also, be termed auto-intoxication.
Tanlac was especially designed to
combat these ailments. Tanlac be-
gins its action by stimulating the
digestive and assimilative organs,
thereby enriching the blood and in
MIGRATING the entire system. Next,
Tanlac aids the stomach to thorough
ly digest food. thus permitting assim-
liable products to be converted into
blood, bone and muscle.
To the automobdlfst It might be
said that TaIlac acts as a spark plug

them going at proper speed.

Why Believe
in Nuxated Iron
Az a Tonic, Strength and Blood
Builder.
BY e. Sauer, M. D.

by Il. Sauer, NJ. D.
Probably no remedy has ever met
with such phenomenal succes as has
NuTated Iron. 1t is conservatively
estimated that over three million
people annually are taking it in this
country alone. 1t has been highly
endorsed and used by Former United
States Senators and Members OF Con-
gress; Physicians who have been
connected with well-known hospitals
have prescribed and recommended
1t; Monseigneur Nannini, a promi-
nent Clergyman, recommends it to
all. Former Health Commissioner
VIM. R. Kerr. Of Chicago, says it
ought to be used in every hospital
and prescribed by every physician.
DR.. A. J. Newman, late Police Sur
geon OF the City Of Chicago. and
former House Surgeon Jefferson Park
Hospital, Chicago, says Nuxated IRON
has proven through his own tests Of
1T to excel any preparation he has
ever used for creating red blood,
building up the nerves, strengthening
the muscles and correcting digestive
disorders.
DR.. James Francis Sullivan, for
merly physician Of Bellevue Hospital
Outdoor dep't.) New York, and the
Westminster County Hospital says
there are thousands Of men and
women who need a strength and
blood builder but do not know what
to take. In his opinion there is moth
ing better than organic iron-Nuxated
Iron-for enrich1ng the blood and
helping to increase the strength and
endurance Of men and women who
burn up too rapidly their
energy in the strenuous strain Of the
great business competition of the day.
If you are not strong or we'll, You
" 1t to yourself to make the fol-
lowing test: See how long you can
work or how far you can walk with
out becoming tired. Next take two
fve-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron
three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see how much you have
gained.
Note:-Nuxated Iron, which has
been used by former members of the
United States Senate and House of
Representatives. and other prominent
people with such surprising results
and which is prescribed and recon-
mended above by physicians Is not q
secret remedy but n which is well
known to druggists everywhere. I'm
like the older inorganic iron products,
1t Is easily asslmilated, does not In
lure the teeth, make them black o
upset the stomach. The manufac-
turers guarantee successful and en-
tirely satisfactory results to every
or they will refund your
money. 1t is dispensed by Wilkinson
q Co., and all good druggists.

II was almost a wreck be-

made me tremble for hours.

mine called. She had been taking
Tanlac and was well pleased. After
hearing her story I sent down town
and got a bottle. It proved to BIO
the greatest medicine I yer took. I
feel better today than ! have for SIX
years.
"All the swelling In my body has
gone down. l am now able to help
