Nervous Wreck
Now Live Wire
Makes Everybody Sit Up
and Take Notice

One of our big league ballplayers
had been going back for some time,
no matter how hard he tried he
could not get his old-time Pep and
Ginger into the game, it was uphill
work all the time. He was one of
those honest, Woodworking fellows
and it finally got his goat" his
nerves went bad, he commenced to
run down, could not eat or sleep and
kept steadily slipping. Doctors and
medicines were of no help.
One of his many admirers said
to him, why not try Phosphated
Iron, everybody is boosting it."
Grasping at the last straw, the
poor fellow took a try at it. The
way he came back was an "eye
opener" he was there in every de-
partment of the game, his nerves
were like iron, he could hit the ball
and was, no time getting back to the
three hundred mark, while his base
running and fielding were great.
Discussing the matter with our
reporter he said. would you believe
it, I could feel the Iron charging my
blood with health and strength
while the way the Phosphates
steadied and renewed my nerve
force was almost too good to be-
lieve. Phosphated Iron took hold
of me right from the start and sure
did make a new man of me, and
you can bet carry good supply
on all my trips"
Doctors will tell you that you
must have plenty of Iron and Phos-
pilates in your system IL you want
pure red blood and steady nerves
of iron. Every one who is ruI
down, nervous, tired and has that
''all in" feeling should try Phos.

Escadrille Spad 3S,
Secteur Postal IL.
June IL, 1918.

Dear Mother:
You remember in my last letter I
remarked on how narrow our land
ing field is and how near came to
taking the wireless outfit along on
one of my getaways? Well, those
wires will not bother me any more,
for they were most thoroughly and
efficiently removed this morning.
AS / remarked when mentioning
those wires before, Some day some
one will get off going crooked and
then look out" And that was the
very thing that did happen.
1t was one of those unexplainable,
miraculous accidents, where every
thing was smashed and nobody hurt,
= for when he hit the wires his tre-
mendous speed swerved him into a
pine tree, knocking down the pine
tree. The Spad crashed into small
barracks and when l came running
out to see the cause of the crash
nothing could be seen of that Spad
but the tail and half wing sticking
out the roof. The pilot, seemingly
none the worse for wear, was being
led around by two men. rubbing a
bruised leg and picking glass out of
his face. Outside of cuts on his
lace CduSS0 ny HIS SOS5lSo "a VanAhot
the pilot was not hurt; neither were
the four men who had been sleep
ing in the barracks. although they
did have to dig one man out of the
debris. 1t was at very early hour
in the morning $3.50 a. No., so you
can imagine the surprise of those
four peacefully-Sleeping men when
the Spad dropped in via the roof.
Enough to Wake the Dead
There being several escadrilles
here, each has his turn at early pa
troll work. Whether we have it or
not matters not at all as far as
sleeping is concerned, for the tre-
mendous racket caused by the many
planes getting off would wake the
dead. One gets used to these noises,
though, and soon learns to distin-
guish the meaning of different
noises. For instance, 1t is quite easy
to tell by the sound of the motor
when the plane has left the ground.
as it makes quite a different sound
while running along the ground.
Thus I heard this particular plane
go off, roar over our barracks and
then came a dull crash and every
one crawled out to investigate. A
shovel was needed more than an in
vestigation. This morning we had
the early patrol and were routed
out at $50 a. M. only to find we
could do no work on account of the
bad weather. There were to be six
machines to start. Only five got off,
and they came right down again on
discovering the clouds at 900
meters.
Getting off the ground myself, I
chased around hunting the patrol
leader and finally saw him down on
the ground. his motor refusing to
start, so l chased the others around
the "piste" hunting the substitute
leader. But one after another they
all went down, and, having chased
them all down, so to speak. started
to climb through the clouds to see
how thick they were. After climb
ing several hundred meters and still
no end in sight I came dowr
through again, fearing of losing my
self. My motor began missing then,
p so came down and landed, my pro-
peller stopping as I leveled out tt
land When 1 wanted to know why
every one else came down, the uni
versal verdict was "mauvais temps

RECONSTRUCTION
COMMISSION IS
URGED upon us,

LONDON, Nov. %. Correspondence
of the United States are urged by the
directors OF the American chamber of
commerce In London to endeavor to in
quo the United States congress prompt
ly to create an American reconstruction
commission to deal with the economic
relations between America and Great
Britain. This proposed commission, as
serts the statement issued by the direc-
tors OF the American chamber Of COM
MERGE here, should contain a strong
representation of men of sound expert
ence and Judgment In matters Of foreign
policy and trade, and should have au-
thorlty to proceed to act at once with
similar bodies OF Great Britain and 9TH
er countries at wal with the Centray
powers.
Tit time has come for the business
communities of the United States to
prepare to formulate an after-war pol
ICY, says the statement, The American
chamber is prompted to make his rec
ommendatlon because It believes the
establishment Of friendly trade relations
between English speaking peoples and
the removal Of all business distrust and
suspicion are essential in a successful
and permanent league of nations,
Inc chamber also points out that the
restrictions which have been imposed
upon Americas trade with Great Brit
ain have led to the belief in one coun-
TRY, that they directly benefit the 9TH
err This situation, the chamber says,
inevitably raises the issue with Great
Britain. Nothing" It's adds, would
suit Germany better than to breed dis
cord out of them. Nothing. this cham
Der believes, Is more important to the
future or the world than good-natured
adjustment OF these issues between the
English speaking peoples
II Is mono too soon, says the cham
Der, for the United States and its allies
10 agree upon a plan for the equitable
disposition Of all raw material so as
to reconstitute the stocks depleted hy
the wastage OF war and by the criminal
folly of German submarines.
Another matter urgently calling for
joint action Is that OF dual income tax
assessment" says the American cham
ber's statement. Not only does the
present situation work uniustified hard
ship on individuals of both n%attonalities
but It also practically prohibits the en-
ployment Of capital Of one country in
the enterprises OF the other, and is
thus a strong deterrent to all co-opera-
ton between them in the work OF re-
construction"
One OF the first purposes to be aimed
at In the proposed after-war trade re-
construction should he the restoration
OF private initiative and business, saws
the American chamber. The chamher
however. realizes that government cor.
troll over virtually every form OF ar-
tivity can not be realized immediateI,
upon the end of the war, but II asserts
that the revival Of private enterprises
is OF supreme Importance to the flu
ture.
