an my opinion the greatest curse
TO the health and strength OF Amerl-
can people of to-day is the alarming
deficiency of iron in their blood. Iron
is absolutely essential to enable your
blood to transform the food you eat
into muscular tissue and brain. IL IS
through iron in the red colorlnG mat
ter of the blood that life-sustaining
oxygen enters the body. Without
iron there is no strength, vitality and
endurance to combat obstacles or
withstand severe strains. Lack OF
sufficient iron in the blood has ruin
ed many a mans nerves and utterly
robbed him of that virile force and
stamina which are so necessary to
success and power in every walk of
life.
Wherefore, strongly advise those
who feel the need of a strength and

SHIP TONNAGE SUNK
VERY HEAVY IN 1917

Washington. Feb. 14.-Ship tom
mage sunk by submarines in 1917
was nearly three times as great as
the total of production in the United
States and Great Britain during that
year
This was disclosed today by the
announcement of Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer in
the British house of commons. that
Great Britain produced only l,1G3.-
474 tons of shipping last year. The
output in the United States was 901,-
22S tons, making total combined
tonnage of 2.064.6s7. while sinkings
by submarines last years generally
are reckoned at 100000 tons.
While complete figures on con-
struction in Japan, Italy, France and
other nations in 1917, are not yet
available. officials here do not be-
lieve their aggregate equalled the
total of the United States. II that is
the case, submarine sinkings more
than doubled all new tonnage pro-
duced.
The output of ship tonnage in the
United States in 1918 has been var
iously estimated at from 2,500,000
tons to 100000 tons, with ship
ping board officials confident that
at least S.5OO,00 tons will be COM
pleted. No estimate of Great Brit
aims output has been received. but
that country is expected to mater
tally increase its 1917 figures.
