AMERICAN
WOMEN LEAD
THE WORLD
They Have Beauty, Health
and Brains.

"a really beautiful woman is always
a healthy woman" remarked one 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 a
keen, bright mind. Red blooded wom-
en-. 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
condition.
'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 a reason in
the world why women should not De

when the remedy is at hand
"Phosphated Iron has accomplished
wonders with my patients. 1t has
restored health vitality, strong nerves
and happiness to whole families. It's
the healthy, red, iron FLOODED, strong,

that enjoy life and lead in every work.

A tan, muscular figure stood up In

Not skin could have moved across

the valuable assets of HaughtOn foot

to give this years team some of his
time. Former Harvard football men,
now in service, it is hoped will help
out in the coaching all they can.
Although the candidates for the
team are not as big and formidable
looking as candidates for Harvard
teams in the past, many speedy col
lege and preparatory school stars are
out. Among them are the following:
Robert Hoffman, Harvard 10, and
Philip J. Phil5in, 20. who played in
oackfield positions on Harvard's in
formal eleven last year; James A Mac
Donald. right halfback on Harvard's
1921 eleven; Razz Porter. of Colby
academy fame; Frank Russo, also
rom Colby: D. L. O'Meara, football
md track man at Exeter academy; S.
:. Fisher and J. A Nickerson. also
former Exeter stars; Ed 8fulligan and
leo Hurley. both of whom were on
he Boston college football team last
year; Alfred Riley. the speed man"
rom Holy Cross. and many others.

/ IT was a hard blow for the profess
1 sional ball players in the deferred
draft classes, who have been working
in ship yards, to learn that all sports
would be abandoned by the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation. It was the
opinion Of the higher officials Of the
corporation that the workers were
devoting too much time to athletic
events, besides which there was
certain resentment against the kind
OF professionalism which was thriv-

IS not the intention Of the Emergency

TO do their full share of manual labor.
In other words, ball players who de-
serted their clubs last summer TO &C

yards got just exactly what was COM
ing to them.
