Men must be full of energy, strength
and endurance to do this kind of work
Often these kind of men are spoken OF
as red -blooded men and there is more
in this red blood idea than most people
think.
1t is the iron in the blood that gives
great strength, endurance and abundance
of health
When iron is lacking in the blood the
person is pale, languid, tired and feels
unable to proceed with the daily work.
These kind of people after they have

the rosy pink of health comes back to
the pale cheek, the tired eyes become
bright with life and vitality and the
muscles and vital powers respond so that

The public, however, is cautioned
against taking iron preparations which
upset the bowels, and by causing con

Lack Of Revenue From
A m eric an Tourists
Brings Exchange Down

London, Aug. 50.-One of the
greatest causes of the falling of the
exchange between America and
Europe is the lack of revenue from
American tourists. Before the war
Americans touring Europe spent
an average of $400,000,000.
Sir George Paish, leading British
economist, we'll known in America,
declared in an interview with Uni
versal Service. Until tourists and
sightseers again flock to Europe.
in full measure, spending money,
the exchange will not regain its
normal level.
with the revenue derived from
tourists, Europe in the past has
been able to pay England for her
exports and she, in turn, has been
thus enabled to give America gold
for purchases made in the United
States. Until the circle is again
completed-it has been broken for
five years-the exchange will re-
main low and uncertain.
This flow of American tourists
into Europe must be resumed as
soon as possible. The battlefields
in France and Italy should attract
thousands, perhaps millions, of visi-
tors from the United States. Their
expenditures will held France and

Comedy Star Badly
Injured When Movie
Bomb Explodes

Harold Lloyd, comedy star, who
as a member of a stock company
played Omaha several years ago,
was seriously injured recently when
a movie bomb from which he was
lighting a cigarette exploded. He
was badly burned about his face,
chest and body. One of his eyes
was seriously injured.
Mr.. Lloyd was rushed to hospi-
tai where the thumb and forehnger
of his right hand had to be ampu-
tated.
The photographer and his assist
ant, who were in the room, were
thrown to the floor but escaped in
pury. The bomb looked like COM
bination of harmless paper, and in
appearance was the kind generally
used in producing smoke. How
ever, it was loaded.
Mr.. Lloyd is expected to be able
to continue his career.
His comedy pictures are shown
nearly every week at the Strand
theater in Omaha.

H. c. |. NEARER
JUDGMENT DAY,
OFFICIALS hint
Vigorous Punitive Action
Promised by Department Of
Justice if Retail Prices
Don't Drop.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Unless re-
ductions in wholesale food prices
resulting from sharp breaks on the
produce markets are passed on to
the consumer, vigorous punitive
action will be taken by the Depart
ment of Justice, it was said today.
Officials said the lower wholesale
prices should be reflected on the re-
tail market in the near future.
Prohteering in sugar virtually has
cased, according to Judge Ames,
assistant to the attorney general,
in charge of administering the food
control law. Elevent cents, he said,
now is accepted as the just price
by dealers throughout the country.
Many Causes of H. c. L.
High cost of living which the
government now is seeking to COM
bat are due primarily to the cur
tailment in the production Of nearly
all commodities, boarding, prohteer-
ing and imitation of currency, the
council of national defense said in
an exhaustive report sent to con-
gress and made public today
through Secretary Baker, chairman
of the council.
Suggestions for meeting the sit
uation include stimula ton of pro-
duction; repression of boarding and
profiteering; improvement in the
methods of distribution and market
ing and the dissemination of more
exact news concerning probable fu-
ture national requirements.
Gross profteering in the wool and
shoe industries through conscious
curtailment of production was al
legged.

GERMANS,
PALMER SAYS
Attorney General Comes Back
at Senator Who Held Up
Former Appointment.

Washington, Aug. 30-A. Mitchell
Palmer, whose nomination as at
torney general was confirmed Friday
by the senate, came back vigor-
ously Saturday at Senator Freling-
huysen, republican, New Jersey,
leader of the forces in the senate
which had for a number of weeks
held up confirmation of the nomina-
ton
Charging that Mr.. Frelinghuysen
was constantly active i'll behalf of
German property owners in the
United States during the war and
attempted to influence legislation
which would affect a diversity to
companies in which he personally
was interested financially, the at
torney general gave a detailed ac-
count of alleged activities of the
New Jersey senator while this coun-
try was at war with Germany.
mo American interest has asked
for any investigation of the allied
property custodian" Mr.. Palmer
declared. "No American interest is
complaining. The Germans are
complaining very severely. Sena-
tors Frelinghuysen and Calder are
pleasing Germany in this business.
They have received special mention
bv the German foreign office for
their activities, which Germany
hopes may result in the Germans
getting all their property back"
Mr.. Palmer declared that Senator
Frelinghuysen was not really an
tagonistic to him but to the trading
with the enemy act which ne had
administered, and "he has been
especially against the Americaniza-
ton Of the industrial concerns in
America owned by our enemies and
heretofore used in hostile way
against this country's interests"
In liquidating the business of
German-owned insurance compan-
les, Mr.. Palmer said he received
patriotic cooperation from all ex-
cept one American company which
had reinsurance contracts with the
enemy corporations.
The only American insurance
company that stood in the way,
therefore, of the final and complete
liquidation of German insurance
companies in the United States"
Mr.. Palmer said, was the Stuyve-
SAINT Insurance company, of which
the president is Joseph Frelinghuy-
sen of New Jersey"

OMAHA MAY HAVE
BIG NEW HOTEL TO

Vice President of $l0O.0OO,00O
Corporation Here to Look

A new hotal for Omaha, to cost
S,sOO,OO0 and eclipsing anything in
this line in the middle west, is being
figured on by the John Nee. Bow
man interests. a Sl000O0,OOO hotel
corporation of New York City.
James Woods, vice-president of
the giant corporation, arrived in
Omaha yesterday and is looking
over the situation. He was the
guest of honor last night at dinner
given at the Omaha Athletic club
by Rome Miller, who is an old
friend of his.
Would Cost $3,5O0,O0O
1--WE would not consider a hotel
costing less than $3,5O0,000 for
Omaha" said Mr.. Woods. The cost
of erecting hotels has risen enor-
mously so that at present we have to
figure on $4,000 per room for the
bare building, without furniture or
decorations. Our proposition in
Omaha would be for hotel of 400
rooms. At $1,000 per room this
would cost $2,000,000 for the bare
structure, without the expensive
decorations, carpets, furnishings and
SO on, which the John Nee. Bow
man corporation make a most inn
portant part of all its structures.

liminary survey of the Omaha field,

with Omaha's unmistakable and
tremendous growth, especially in re-
cent years. it looks to me as though
there is a demand here for another
large, first-class, up-to-the minute
hotel. We have already $75,000,000
worth of hotels now in operation.
Omaha, so far as I have been able
to examine the field, looks very
promising for one of our hostelries."

REPEATEDLY CHEERED
Greeks Also Appear Before
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and State Their
Peace Settlement Claims.

Washington. Aug. 30,-(By The
Associated Press) - lmpassioned
protests against the league Of ma
tions were presented on behalf OF
American Irishmen today at hear
ing before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee.
In series of dramatic appeals
which repeatedly drew cheers from
the crowd jarnming the committee
room, the spokesmen declared the
covenant sought to pronounce a
death sentence on the aspirations
of the Irish people and to fasten
forever upon Ireland what they
characterized a yoke of British op-
preston.
Among the speakers, who said
they voiced the sentiments of more
than 100000 Americans of Irish
origin, were Frank P. Walsh of
Kansas City, Michael J. Ryan of
Philadelphia and Edward F. Dunno,
former governor of Illinois. men,

who sought to get a hearing for
Ireland at Versailles. An opening
statement was made by Daniel F.
Cohalan, justice of the New York
supreme court, and the legal aspects
of the covenant as they affect Ire
land were summed up by Bourke
Cochran, also of New York.
Greeks Also Appear.
Representatives of various Greek
societies also appeared before the
committee today and made a state
ment of the claims of the Greek
people regarding the peace settle
ment.
Outright rejection of the peace
treaty was asked by the Irish speak
ers, who charged that under the
covenant Great Britain would re-
ceive a guarantee that no outside
nation ever would help Ireland gain
her independence. The domination
of the British fleet over the seas,
they also declared, would be made
SO complete by the treaty as to be
a direct menace to the United
States.
In the Versailles negotiations,
Walsh. Ryan and Dunno declared,
President Wilson's ideals ali were
brushed aside by the other powers.
At the open session. when the
league covenant was approved, they
said, delegates in all parts of the
hall tried to make protest, but were
silenced by the steam roller meth

the conference.
Paint Gloomy Picture.
Of conditions in Ireland where
the commission spent some time,
the three speakers painted a gloomy
picture. Civil law had been sus-

homes searched without warrant,
