Reliable physicians believe that broken down nerve tissues need not a bracer- but builder like Phos- phates and Iron. To get these essen tial food toonics to the nerves has long been the big question.
 A successful physician says, 'Phos- phated Iron is an especially adapted discovery that has solved the prob lem of giving Phosphates and Iron in such a way that the nervous system can actually take hold of it. ;
 Another, an equally important mis- sion of Phosphated Iron is to build up anaemic (thin, weak, watery) blood by charging it with good heafth- giving Iron.
 Aleading Doctor says, 'tPhosphated Iron is the best Iron tonic that have ever prescribed, it's results are re- markable.

IRISH ABLE TO
 DEFEND ACTION
 SAYS ). DEVLIN

Dublin, Sunday, April 21-Cby the Associated Press)-The bishop of Cloyne, addressing a large audience in Queenstown, relative to conscrip- tion, said the Irish were up against a powerful anl interruptions adversary who was without heart or sympathy for long suffering Ireland, but gave warning to avoid collision with the army forces of Great Britain and to beware of snares set to trap them into it.
 Nowhere does any disturbance or even excitement seem to have occur red either at the pledge taking meet ings or at numerous political gath erings at which conscription was de- Hounced in strong terms.
 Joseph Devlin, in a speech in Bel fast, said the Irish were in position of being able to defend their action on the notable precedent set by Sir Edward Carson and his friends by forming a revolutionary parry against the home rule bill.

To Properly Treat

Particularly where wrinkles are long and deep; the massage devotee is apt to rub too hard and too fre- quently. This loosens the skin, causes muscles to sag, aggravates the wrinkled condition-just the opposite result from that sought.

BOTTLE OF ETHER CAUSES PANIC IN PARIS SUBWAY DURING RAID;
 50 WOMEN AND CHILL LDREN KILLED

Paris, April 2S.---CCorrespondence of The Associated Press .)---Fumes of bottle of ether used to revive a faint ing woman, mistaken for asphyxiat- ing gas from bomb dropped by German raider, caused the panic at the Metropolitan Subway station in which 60 or more women and children were crushed to death or smothered during the Hun raid on the night of March Il.
 The crowd had remained outside the subway station waiting to hear the German bomb explode before taking to cover. A woman in the crowd feel ing i'll her husband held a flask of ether to her nose.
 What a sme1l,'' said someone. The remark, overheard back in the crowd, was taken to suggest gas. From that step to 'asphyxiating gas" was easy. In less time than it requires to tell it | the report went through the crowd that the last bomb that exploded was gas bomb. That caused mad rush of the crowd down the stairs of the subway station against doors opening outward. In the press the doors couldn't be opened until a score of children and two score women per ished.
 False lists of places where bombs fell were circulated, these presumably by agents of the enemy to work upon the morale of each different quarter. Fantastic stories were spread about the German aviators flying low enough lot toi, irtS n fro their machine guns upon the fleeing peo- pie. The fact is that not single German machine could be seen clear fly enough to identify it, yet the story
 worked upon the minds of impress
 sionable persons.
 The conduct of the audiences in the
 different places of amusement may ebe taken as indicative of the attitude of Paris toward the raiders. Few
 spectators left their seats when tht
 last raid was Announced toward tht
 middle of the performance.
