"Get Strength, Vigor and
Nerve Force by Taking
BloOd-Iron Salts"
Says DR.. BOudousquie

New York-For many years physi-
clans and scientists have hoped that
some genius of the medical world
would discover a harmless compound
that would put increased strength and
endurance into the dilapidated bodies
of those who are delicate, nervous,
rundown, or lacking in healthy tissue
and power of endurance
Gabriel Boudousquie, NJ D., the
well-known New Orleans author, who
has travelled extensively in France.
Italy and Austria, says; ANY medical
compound to be effective in restoring
wasted nerve energy, lost strength
and health must contain ingredients
for eliminating the poisonous toxins,
for restoring the enervated nerve
cells and for increasing red blood cor
puscles. There is nothing that will
bring about these desired results more
quickly than ordinary Blood Iron
Salts, and 1 learned thr4 this re-
markable substance was Just what
my own enervated nerves, blood and
body needed. l now advise its use in
vast number of cases and it would
be a good thing If all men and women
ming to slow up would take Blood
Iron-Salts."

U. S. Flour Supply
May Be Cut IS Per Cent.
to Help Supply Allies
Rr ASSnciatcd PrsSS

Washington, Jan. 24-To create
large export surplus of flour for
the allies, the food administration is
considering a plan of forced reduc-
ton in -four sales all the way from
the miller to the consumer. Millers,
wholesalers, retailers and bakers
probably will be required to hold
their sales of flour down to 75 per
cent. of the amount now handled.
AS the allies are demanding from
10000 to 100,000,00O more bush
els of wheat, the food administration
has arranged to take over 30 per
cent. of Americas flour production,
out of which will be selected sup
plies for export.
Food administration officials be-
lieve the United States can give
Europe 90,000,000 bushels of wheat
made into flour between now and the
time the new American crop comes
in, without endangering the Ameri-
can supply.

Men commissioned as officers of
the Pennsylvania Reserve Militia met

the organization of the three regi-
ments of infantry and squadron of
cavalry to comprise the new state

General Beary, who also had ex-
planned details of the organization,
requirements of paper work" and
many details
Governor Brumbaugh in addressing
the officers said that the splendid
division given to the Army from
Pennsylvania was largely due to
work of National Guardsmen, includ
ing some of the men now in the Re-
serve Militia. The Governor said it
was important to maintain a force
iE the state for protection and to
maintain the supplies for which the
Government leans on Pennsylvania.

FARMERS ASK FOR |
GOVERNMENT AID
Believe That Special Effort
Ought to Be Made to Get
Men For Agriculture

Resolutions adopted by the State
Board of Agriculture at the joint
meeting of the Board and allied
bodies last night declaring that the
draft should be extended to include
people in all walks of life and that
if necessary to see that hands are
provided for the farms will be sent
to the national authorities at Wash
ington. Conferences of men active
in the Board were held to-day with
view to ascertaining what steps
should be taken to secure men and
representative farmers will likely go
to Washington.
The speeches at the closing session
of the Board and at the joint meet
ing dealt with conditions which
speakers declared would be alarming
on the farms this year. Predictions
of decreased production instead of
an increase as asked were freely
made.
John A. McSparran, master of the
State Grange, said that he hoped
ply labor for Pennsylvania's 21S,000
farms.
In his speech last night Mr.. Nc
Spartan said in part:
Last year the farmer took the
Government at its word and raised
q large crop under the direct prom
Use that the farm labor would not be
taken away, but instead of the Gov
ernment fulfilling that promise, the
towns were allowed to take credit for
a lot of enlistm ents that should have
been credited to the country, the
districts We're drawn upon in pro-
portion to population instead of in
proportion to the number of regis
trants and that took larger share
from the country than from the
city. Many Boards of Exemption
did take the farmers who were
promised exemption and all this af-
ter the farms had suffered an awful
industrial drain.
THE farmer is justly complaining
as the President admits, and can
not produce the coming season what
he did this last year, unless the
Government very soon gets awake
to the need of action and paroles
those who know how to raise food
back to the farms.
General Crowder has made splen-
did recommendation to Congress to
help the situation in his last report
as far as the army draft goes and
we hope that Congress will at once
pass the laws he requests to that
end. We believe, however, that
special efforts ought to be made to
get more men on the farms in view
of the serious danger of an actual
shortage everywhere next winter.
"All these adverse conditions have
tempted the farmer to make the de-
cision that this coming year he will
plant just what he can nicely handle
and harvest with the help he has
in sight. If the dire result of a
shortage would fall upon those who
are in careless indifference and in
efficiency saying that there is plenty
of help on the farms / would agree
that such a course were right, but
the hardship will come to the soldier
boy in France and the disgrace upon
us all if the war is prolonged and
our soldiers sacrificed for lack Of
food and munitions. We must pro-
duce to the extreme limit of our
ability without regard to price or
condition and at that our sacrifice
will be small in comparison to the
men who have to face the destruc-
ton of the battlefield in our behalf.

Professional palmistry is made the

Drew-IlllngtOn Sophy Fullgarney, a
manicurist, played
by Margaret Ellington, is engaged to
one "Valma," palmist. Sophy and her
girl assistants adroitly steer the wo-
men customers from their shop to the
nearby parlors of the handreading
Valma. Suspicion of Valma's "proph-
etic' powers is felt by most of these
customers, though the overplus of
credulity( makes them hope that
there may be something" in what he
tells them. Pinero very neatly dis
closes the fact that Sophy herself is
the most suspicious of Valma's occult
powers" To a silly nobleman, who
has been told by Valma that many
men are in love with her, the almost
too-downright Sophy explains, You
see, your grace, if a woman is pretty,
and Valma finds Venus girdle well
marked in her palm; and if he con-
cludes from other signs that she is
vain and light and loose; it isn't much
to suppose that there are a few hor-
rid men licking their lips at the
thought of her." Which would seem
to prove that the mysterious" VAL
mas deductions were based on rather
material data. John Drew and Mar
