Take Nuxated Iron, If You Want
Plenty of "Stay- There" Strength
Like an Athlete!
City Physieian Says II Makes
Delicate, Nervous, Rundown
People Stronger I'm Two
Weeks Time, In Many Cases.

N OSr people foolishly seem to think
they are going TO get renewed health
and strength from some stimulatll
medicine. secret nostrum or narcotic
drug. when, As . matter Of fact, real and
true strength can only come from the
food you eat. But people oftea fail to
get the strength out Of their food because
they haven't enough iron in their blood
TO enable It TO change food toto living
matter. From their weakened, nervous
condition they know something il wronI,
but they can't tell what II you are
not strong or wel, you owe 1t 70 yourself
TO make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next take
two hIerain tablets Of ordinary Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals for
two WeekA Then test your strength again
and see for yourself how much you have
gained. Numbers Of nervous, rundown
people, who were ailing all the while
have most astonishingIy increased then
strength and endurance simply By taking
iron In the proper form. But don't take
the old forms Of reduced iron, iron acetate
or tinctme Of iron simply to save a few

that can be easily absorbed and assim-
lated. like Nuxated Iron. II you want Il
to do you any good, otherwise Il nav

lete or prize fighter has Won the DAP
simply because he knew the secret Of
great strength and endurance which
comes from having plenty Of iron In the
blood, while many another has gone down
to inglorious defeat simply for the Iack
Of iron.

BOY AWARDED $1,000
AS result OF BITE
George ]. Smith Was Attacked by
Neighbor's Collie.

The old English low which entities
every dog to at least one bite and
after that, If he still bites. classes
him among wild animals was upheld
by a jury yesterday in Justice Gould's
court when 1t brought in a verdict
for 5000 damages in favor of eight
year old George J. Smith against Mrs.
Lena Malnati and her daughter. Mrs.
Malnati Walton, alleged owners of
the dog.
George was bitten on the leg on
September "a, 1915. while playing
about the Malnati house on East Cap
itol street. The testimony showed
that the animal a collie, had bitten
several person before he sunk his
fangs in Georges leg. Mrs. Malnati
denied that her dog had bitten the
youngster and testified that he re-
ceived the cash in his leg from piece
of glass. Attorneys O'Donoghue and
Alexander appeared for young Smith
while Attorney L. NJ. Levin defended

JAPS MAY WITHDRAW
TROOPS FROM RUSSIA

Moscow, April 1O.-Early withdrawal
Of japanese troops from Vladivestak
was fOreshadowed, by implication, in
statement given out here by the
japanese diplomatic mission which as
suTes the people of Russia that the
landing was not in the nature of an
Occupation" or an expedition" but
had a purely local object. This object.
the statement adds, is expected to be
attained shortly.
The statement comes at a moment
when intense excitement prevails
throughout Russia over the action of
Japan and Great Britain in landing
forces at Russia's great Asiatic port.
Protest has been filed by Foreign Min
ister Tchitcherin TO the allied diplO-
mats.
German armed penetration of Fin
land continues. Occupation of HelS-
ingfOrs is expected at an early date.
The trend of opinion both in Russia
and Finland appears to confirm the
theory advanced in these dispatches
some weeks ago. that Germany pro-
poses to bottle up Russia at Archan-
gel, as she already has cut her of
from independent access to the Baltic
and Black Seas.

Ofterdinger's Former Employees Can
vass Local Retail Merchants.

Driving rain all day yesterday in
terfered but little with the drive that
the girl cigar and cigarette makers
on strike at Offterdinger's began that
morning on the retail tObacconists Of
the District in an effort to win them
over to their cause and declare a gen.
eral boycott on goods manufactured

A committee composed OF Nellie
MarCeron, May Quinn and Charles
Kruse, started the City-wide canvass
of dealers and by noon reported at
headquarters that five prominent re-
tailers had taken sides with the strik-
ers and had acquiesced in their re-
quest that they refuse to handle on
terdinger's products.

the Cigarmakers' international Union,

WAR HAS INCREASED
BUSINESS OF PLAY"
Number of Fairgrounds and Money
Spent Greater.

The Year Book for 1917 about TO be
issued by the Playground and Recrea-
ton Association OF America, an or
SanizatiOn taken over bodily by the
Commission on Training Camp Activi-
ties, reveals the fact that the ''Busi-
ness of Play" for both children and
adults has increased instead Of d.
minished on account of the war. This
increase has amounted to eighteen per
cent in the number OF Fairgrounds
operated. and to fifty per cent in the
amount of money spent-$6, $4,000.
Many things in the statistics SUBJ
mitted for the year show an awaken
ing in America to the importance of
recreation centers. Nearly 1900 men
and women were employed to direct
play at recreation centers throughout
the country, and three-quarters of a
million of boys and girls daily
swarmed in the play centers. Aver
age evening attendance throughout the
country was more than half a million
young people. There were 700 school
buildings used for play after school
hours. 200 public bathing beaches. 400
public baths and 800 swimming pools
were in use. and 1900 Fairgrounds and
neighborhood recreation centers were
maintained during 1917

POOLING SHIPS
ADDS TONNAGE
OF 100000
Americas Trans Ocean Car
go Space Increased by
Careful Planning.

The equivalent of more than 10000
tons Of new shipping was added to
Americas transatlantic war mer-
chant marine in March by inter
department and interallied co-ordina-
ton through the Ship Control Conn
mittee.
The Shipping Board announced last
night that the quantity Of cargo sent
across from America in March as
compared with February had in
creased 20 per cent, with a total or
2.762, ,6C5 dead-weight tons OF shipping,
comprising go vessels, under control
Of the committee.
with this co-oTeration of the War
Department, Shipping Board and the
British authorities, it is expected the
increase of efficiency in April com
pared with February, will reach 30
per cent.
The vessels affected are mainly
American, the figures being 322 ships
of United States registry. thirty-three
neutral steamships taken over, and
thirty-five neutral steamships under
charter.
The virtual addition Of sixty-eight
ships by increasing the efficiency of
the 500 available by 20 per cent was
effected through systematic leading
methods, by predetermination of the
character Of cargo, manner of storage
and routing foF unloading at different
ports; by pooling allied. American
and neutral vessels in emergency, so
as not to have ships idle waiting for
eargoes; by speeding shipping af-
fairs in organized detail and clearing
vessels oftener and more quickly.
II was stated, however, that there
was no actual pooling of ships and
facilities as a general policy, but only
where emergency indicated such a
course to save time and tonnage.
