The navy department has released
from office and si.o-: duty the regu'
lars of the navy and the reservists ana
has assigned them to active duty with
the fleet. Their places as clerks will
be taken by women wherever possible
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN. paymaster
general Of the navy, issued the order In
connection with this change in policy.
"Every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating, adds just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order. Every man Of every rank
and rating desires, of course. to get to
the firing line rs soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
mo man in the navy is willing In war
time to do anything that woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content in any part Of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work SO important In
Its nature that II cannot properly be
delegated to any person Of lesser rat
ing.
Wherefore II is requested and d.
rected that the officer In charge Of
each division Of the bureau Of supplies
and accounts make n careful and criti-
cal survey Of his personnel, both COM
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reServists but regulars as well.
and 1t Is to be distinctly understood in
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number Of men for duty at
the front"

PITY BELGIAN FARMERS
Germans Take the Grain and Then

through some mistake It cannot be de.
livered until paid for in cash.

Now, 1t Is a matter of common
knowledge that Germany from the first
has expected to whip France and Eng.
land, and then make rich America pay
the bill for the war. Let every farmer,
then, imagine the visit of a German

Discovery Of !ro9en Amazes Entire Nation
Remarkable New Element Restores Health and Vital Powers tn
Weak, Suffering People, Declare Scientist To Be
Placed on Sale in Macon, at Ed. M. Mrphev's

Few announcements in many years
have caused such widespread interest
in medical and scientific circles and
among the public ingeneral as that
recently made regarding the discov-
cry OF lrogen and it's relation to the
blood and general health of the HUI
man system.
The wonderful power of Irogen to
rebuild natural strength, health and
vigor is now attributed by physicians
and scientists to its bodybuilding
power. Irogen, they explain, regen-
crates human blood, for it, has been
demonstrated beyond the possibility
of a doubt that Irogen supplies Ma
ture with the element essential to the
formation of new blood.
The entire NATION has been amazed
over the possibilities brought to light
through the discovery of Irogen, and
rightly so, for this discovery has a
practical interest of f~ar-reaching i'm
portarce to tho public in general. 1t
is konwn that the world is literally
full of people whose blood is below
the standard of vigorous health and
whose strength and vital resistance
to disease is therefore very low. AL
most every household, it is said, con-
tains n or more persons whose vi
tally is below normal-not necesssar
lily invalids, but rather weaklings, who
are prone to disease and complaints
of every kind. To these Irogen will
prove of inestimable value in rebuild
ing natural strength and health
through regeneration of the blood de-
clare authorities.
Great interest has been aroused in
Macon since the discovery of Irogen
and much speculation has been made
