business-it is the influenza. A house
wife is more likely to come uptown
to shop if she is sure that she will
not be thrown into contact with large
group of customers"
The Attitude of Business Men.
c. o. Soldiers. chairman of the COM
mittee of business men, said:
Business is no doubt suffering. Yet
b. if it were in my power to lift the ban
| don't know that / would do it. The
fear of influenza does keep people
from town. Ii seems to me il the
children were not brought. and that il
people came only on business and not
to visit, it would make lot of differ
ence. j believe that if people know
they are protected by a quarantine
they would sooner come than If they
know they are not
Up. Hetzler remarked that the COM
mittee of business men did not come
to dictate to the Board of Health but
that they came to confer with them TO
see if they could not help out and to
give suggestions that would tighten
the business restrictions and yet not
be of any danger. He said that they
came to present the business mans
viewpoint, the Board of Health could
not know that as well as they.
.'We wanted to meet to suggest
something and to have something sug-
gested to u.s." he said. I'VE have not
an antagonistic view. We do not wish
TO impair health"
Mr. Hetzler suggested that the bus
mess men would be glad to help sup
ply more adequate hospital facilities
to help stamp out the disease. By
quarantining those members of the
family who have the influenza in
hospital, for which he said one of the
barracks might be used, the disease
might be kept down. since it is direct
contact that causes its spread"
A. j. Estes said that the one thing
that had aroused the business men
was the siX-tO-a-store regulation. The
larger stores felt an imposition. How
ever" he said. 1.-The business men came
not to dictate but to confer. They
only wish to see what can be done
with the help of the Beard of Health. |
1t is important that the customers act !
quickly and get out of the store. If
we do not allow customers to stay too |
long, if we keep our stores well VEN
tilated and fumigated, if the children |
were eliminated and the one interested /
in the shopping comes alone, believe
We could have more than six custom |
ers at one time in the larger stores. |

Although Germany lost the last Of her

ments OF Germans most familiar with
the conditions, have been failures. One
Of the reasons for this has been the
German cruelty to the native inhabi-
tants. Emperor Williams words to his
troops setting out TO occupy the Chin
ese province Of kiaochOw are not likely
TO be ever forgotten: use your
weapons in such a way that for a thou
sand years no Chinese shall dare to

Secretary Dernburg In 1908, reviewing
the conquest of German East Africa In
the Reichstag, said that the German
campaign, apart from losses IN lighting
and by disease. caused the death OF lo,-
600 natives from starvation.
Another reason has been that German
colonization schemes were not modelled
after those OF other civilized nations.
Germany was not looking for overseas
homes for actual settlers from Ger

The nerves of the body are
not unlike the telegraph system
at the Front. The millions of
nerve filaments are like a net
work Of wires that keep all the
trenches in close sympathy and
communion. Food supplies and
reinforcements are dispatched
here and there and so the nerves
send increased blood and nour-
ishment where 1t is most re-
quired. The nerve cells guide
the heart and stomach. BY this
means the stream of blood la
den with nourishment is sent
to every part of the body.
So 1t is that the blood feeds
the nerves. If blood is impov-
erished, we feel nervous-sleep-
less - "fidgety." The blood
needs to be built up. There
should be about fifty grains of
iron in the body, or as much as
is contained in an ordinary "ten-
penny" nail. If we lack iron in
our blood, we are pale, anemicl
with no vim. We are nervous

American or Britt h capital to finance
the commercial union Of the Orient and
Occident by new and speedier routes,
terminating possibly IN the new Jewish
State OF Palestine, under inter-Allied
protection Just as the opening Of the
West absorbed Americas energies after
the Civil War. so the opening OF Cen
trail and Western Asia may follow the
world conflict. A railway line uniting
the Medite e,ranean with MesopOtamia

should be pushed through Persia TO
the Caspian Sea to head of German am
bltion lately diverted TO that region.
There It should be linked By steamers
with the great Russian Central Aslatio
systems, the Turkesian and Caucasus
lines. The construction Of this trade
route would foil Germany's designs to
-monopolze Asiatlc trade by the Black
Sea route and would remove that trade
from the menace Of the Turk sitting
at the gateway Of the Dardanelles, which
he has held closed for three years.
