DOCTORS Give
REASONS FOR
SPRING FEVER
Explain Its Real Meaning

"The name Spring fever" said we'll
known physician in conversation the 9th
err day, sis misnomer and is largely
figure of speech used to describe the pc
culiar lassitude that SO many people com
plain Of at the expiration of our winter
months. 1t is physiological condition
well known to the medical profession,
and is not fever at all, but general
letting down of natures forces, particu-
larly the nervous centers, due to the def
| cheney of iron and phosphorus, both of
which are absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of bodily vigor.
"Of course" he continued, "the excess
sive meat eating, the loss of green vege-
tables and of oxygen, of which there is
so little in the average heated house, all
play their part. The result is that ma
ture is calling for an increased output
, of the vital forces during the winter
months, and this demand means more
phosphorus and iron. For it is these two
potent remedies combined, which are ma
lures armament in her defensive war
fare. With the advent of warm weather,
the pores act more freely and the heart
slows up, and that peculiar lassitude
which we call spring fever is manifested.
"And the remedy, doctor?" an inter-
ested listener asked. "Why, my dear sir,
the remedy for these starved nerve and
blood centers is Phosphated Iron. But
there is no reason why we should ever
reach this point, if we would, from time
to time, take that well-known remedy,
Phosphated Iron, and 50 maintain the
physiological balance, as shown by our
color, our sense of well being, push and
activity, all of which are necessary to
make life worth while"
And the doctor was right.
Special Notice.-To insure doctors and
their patients receiving the genuine
Phosphated Iron, we have put in capsules

tablets or pills. Insist on capsules.

and horses, on both of which subjects he
is an expert.
The key to Lord Decies' success as a
censor, however, is probably that he has
succeeded in convincing all classes of
lrishmen, whether Sim Fein or Orange
men, of his absolute impartiality and
fairness TO both sides. One of the best
tributes to his popularity is that he is
occasionally made the subject of news
paper jokes. He has pasted on the walls
of his office some of the extraordinary
letters and clippings which have reached
him. In several OF them he is jocularly
addressed as "his royal highness, the lord
high executioner Of copy, Dublin"
Lady Decies, his wife, was Vivien
Gould of New York.

IRON TRADE REVIEW

Cleveland, O., August S.-CSpecial)
 The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Distribution, more than production, IS
 the present steel problem, Washington
 now points out. This version or the
 situation coincides. with the opinions
 repeatedly expressed by leading pro-
 ducers It was emphasized erfectiVeiy
 this week, when Ship Director Schwap' seeking. 250,000 tons to be added dur ing the next three months to his pre- cautionary supply, was compelled to content himself with 66,000 tons. In sharply pairing the ship directors de- mands. the war industries board con sidered the 100000 tons already in the shipping boards reservoir an ample insurance against winter contingencies The tonnage of plate and shapes re- quested could be supplied 1t indicated
 only at the expense of other branches bof war production incidentally. the tonnage in resarve property appor- toned and distributed is sufficient to build 3000,000 tons of steel ships. The striking fact was brought out that the present deliveries of plates and shapes. | for army, navy and commercial needs represented only three per cent or the tonnage going to the ship programme The remainder is being absorbed by the railroads, allies and neutrafs.
 This seemingly disproportionate divis- ion of mills output accents and desire of the government authorities to round out their plan of automatic distribution so that all essential purposes may be served promptly, production is making fine record The restricting effect of the | intense heat has been less than usual owing to the loyalty of employees in stick | ing to their tasks This has been par ticularly true in the coke regions.
 The blast furnaces in July turned out more pig iron than any similar month in history The output was 2,4ll,59S tons, a gain of 99,540 tons over June. The number of furnaces now in blast, 56i' | is the largest ever known under war conditions of modern production. The | lake fleet moved 10.659,2o3 tons of iron ore in July. This is the greatest ton mage handled of any July in history and brings the movement to date up to 2S.- eos, ,933 tons.
 Al surprising price development Is the news that the implement manufacturers
 may receive a concession of $5 ton
 under the government maximum levels
 on the steel they receive. Furthermore
 this special allowance is to be retroac-
 tive. dating from July 1. Just why sucn
 a concession has become necessary oi
 advisable has not been made.

 Salvador, owned by J. B. Haggin. had accomplished marvellous feats as a 2 and 3-year-old. There seemed to be no limit to the speed of this amazing son of Prince Charlie-Salina, and Haggin, grant ing the pleas of racing enthusiasts, con- sented to send Salvador in an attack held by Raveloe.
 The track wasn't in any really excel lent shape the day that Haggin elected to have Salvador race against time-but Haggin. rather than disappoint the huge throng, elected to run him.

There was no change in the standing or the first two teams in each league as the result of vesterday's games. Both Boston and Cleveland won in the Ameflcai' while in the Tener circuit New horh and Chicago suffered reverses. CleVe- land opens a four-game series with Chi cago today and the Red Sox are idle. To- morrow the Tanks will journey to Boston for a quartet of settos.
 It would appear that the Indians thave a tougher job in disposing of the White sox thaa Boston has of trimming Miller Huggias' crew, for the former worlds s champions arc going at fast speed now, while the Tanks haven't won series in goodness knows how long.
 Both the Red Sox and Indians have zi more games before the curtain lals Cleveland plays II of her 21 on the roaa' while Boston has 19 of her N at nome In addition, the Red Sox have the aooeo advantage of being scheduled against weaker teams. After the four-game series with Chicago in Cleveland Lee Fohi wlii hit the raiis and match his scaIpers against New York for three games ooS- ton for three. Washington for four, Pnha- delphia for three, Chicago for two ana then wind up the season with double bill in St. Lcuis.
 The Red Sox will play New York fous games. Chicago three, Cleveland three, St. Louis four, Detroit three, Fhiladel- phia two and the final contests will be fought in New York on Labor Day. II Boston wins 1S of her remaining H games Cleveland will have to take IS and lose but three, which is well nigh impossible, playing on the road. On the other hand if the Red Sox manage to cop but \ games their rivals can grab the gonfalon by taking two-thirds of their 21 con- tests.
 The official standing in each league Is not available but it's pretty safe to figure Boston as the Cubs opponents in tht big series.
 There seems to be a merry fight on in each league for the fourth position or ths bottom rung of the first division. This year all clubs in the upper four VII share in the worlds series dough anf competition is getting warm now tha the classic is decided upon. Four clubs Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Brooklyn ant Boston, in the National are not hairs breadth apart. The Reds and Phils ar' the favorites, however, for fourth in thu league.
