The interstate commerce commission knows
it's place in the new railroad administration. It
announces that this board, once powerful
enough to strange the carriers, has set aside
all its orders which mi ght interfere with the re-

An interstate commerce commission disposed to
help instead of to hinder transportation would
have been extremely useful when the roads

IRON AND BLOOD

Few people know that every
courageous, red-blooded person,
such as our own soldier boys
at the front, has within his
body fifty grains Of iron, or as
much as is contained in an ordi-
nary "tenpenny" nail. To be
brave, courageous and active
one must have good, red blood.
Our men OF iron are men with
good blood, good circulation and
an active liver. The poor, weak

enough to go to war, is probably
unfit because of thin, wateTy
blood. 1t is easy to acquire

Senaior LenYoof's Election
IFrom The New York SUM-

In the election OF Representative Len

there is an even deeper Significance
than the answer 10 dlsloyalty- Nobody
could seriously question that on any
real les. tho people OF this country
would show themselves loyal perhaps
Ia one community quite 800 per cent.
perhaps IN some other only 90 or so
per cent, but overwhelmingly loyal
everywhere. But what the election OF
Mr.. Lcnroot shows particularly Is that
the voters Of the United States are conf
Ing 30 a realization OF the great truth
that self-go 'ernng people can MAKE
no greater mistake than 10 think that
because the country happens TO be at
war they must follow blindly its Chief
Executive IN whateNer'he does or wants
done
Thera Is never going 10 be the slight
est danger that IN war times q Demo-
cratic President Will lack the support
OF high minded Republicans IN his poll

is neyer going 10 be any danger that q
Republican President will lack tho sup-
port Of high minded Democrats. But
for one whole year. since this country
declared war against Germany, thera
has been grave danger that everybody
IN Congress, Republican as we'll as
Democrat. would become a mere puppet
OF The Chief Executive Ia the handling
not only Of war measures but Of all

The election Of Mr.. Lenroot points
tho way 20 a balancing UP OF The two

We ought 30 see an end OF the condition
