PRESIDENTS REPLY

The President replied:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary: I have your
letter of February 20 and concur In
your Judgment that General Pershings
repeated requests that you should visit
our expeditionary forces in France
should be complied with. I believe
that it will add to the morale, not only
of our forces there, but of our forces
here, to feel that you are personally
conversant with all the conditions of
their transportation and treatment on
the other side. and I believe that it will
be serviceable to all of us to have the
comprehensive view which you will
bring back with you.
Il sincerely hope that your journey
will be safe. We shall look for your
return with impatience, because your
guidance is constantly needed here.
Cordially and sincerely yours.

BAKERS LETTER
Mr.. Bakers letter follows:
February 20. 1913
MY Dear Mr.. President: Il have had
repeated cablegrams and letters from
General Pershing urging that I visit our
expeditionary forces in France, and as
our plans have gone forward I have
come more and more to realize the need
of an actual inspection of ports, trans
portation and storage facilities and
camps of our overseas army.
"Of course, We are constantly having
officers of the several armies returning
from France with information and rec
concentrations; but they frequently serve
only to illustrate the impossibilty of Sc
curing complete view of the situa-
| ton by any other course than a personal
inspection,
In addition to this the relatives and
friends of our soldiers are deeply con-
cerned to know the conditions under
which these soldiers live and the envir-
onment in which they find themselves.
1t will be of importance if I can give
comforting assurances as the result of
an~actual visit to the camps; and 1t may
be that / can suggest betterments as
the result of our experience here where
great encampments have been built up.
and most wholesome and helpful en-
vfronment provided with the co-opera-
ton OF all the helpful and sympathetic
agencies which the people of the COIN
try have placed at our disposal.
The various reorganizations in the
war departments have now progressed
, to place where feel that they will
proceed uninterruptedly with their task
and can, with more comfort than
would have been possible at an earlier
time, be absent for brief time am
writing, therefore, to ask your consent
/, to my absence long enough to pay a
hurried visit to France for such an in
spection trip as have herein outlined.
MY plans would carry me to France
and include thorough inspection of
our ports lines of transportation and
communication and camps, with brief
visit to Paris and London. Respect
I fully yours,

iron as tonic, strength and blood

Careful investigation by physicians
among druggists and patients has re-
vealed the fact that there are thou
sands of people taking iron who do
not distinguish between organic iron
and metallic iron and that such per-
sons often fail to obtain the vital en-.
ergy. strength and endurance which
they seek, simply because they have
taken the wrong form OF iron. They
seem TO think iron is iron ON the
same theory that potato would be a
potato whether cooked or raw. en-
tirely ignoring the fact that the cook
ing process makes certain important
cellular changes in the potato that
renders 1t far more easy of assimila-
ton by the blood and tissues. No
one would hardly expect to derive
the same strength from eating raw
potatoes that he would from eating
cooked potatoes, yet according To the
opinions OF physicians who have made
! careful study Of the subject, taking
raw, unprepared, metallic iron Is a
god deal Ike eating raw potatoes.
