 You have nightly spent hours at this arduous work, and your invari- able cheerfulness and comradeship have done much to reconcile us to our lot of serving behind the fighting front.

Say That Ordinary Metallic Iron Prspara- Strength Power and

With the threat to her druggist be- cause he sold her substitute for genuine Nuxated Iron, the tonic, strength and blood- builder, one woman has set in motion a wave of indignation over the country against a practice which offers such countless dan- gers to the health and welfare of the public. This woman claims that instead of obtaining increased strength and improved health as she had with the true Nuxated Iron, she was seriously upset and in fact became i'll as result of using the substitute. Such instances as these have led physicians men, toned below to emphasize that health off clals and doctors everywhere should eau ton the public against accepting substitutes for Nuxated Iron. Those who feel the need of strength and blood builder should go to their family doctors and obtain a pre- scription calling for organic iron-Nuxated lron-and present this to their druggist SO that there may be no question about obtain ing the proper article. But if they do not

.IRRECONCIL-ABLE
 FEELING LESSENS
Orlando May Call Italian Parliament Before
 May 6.

Paris, April 25-A distinctly more hopeful and less irreconcilabIe feel ing prevailed at Italian headquarters today. No longer was there talk of breach with the Peace Conference, but instead it was said:
 All may be settled within a fort night. Premier Orlando has gone to Rome to consult parliament. There after, we shall see"
 Peace Conference circles were in- clined to believe today that an annie able solution of the Italian incident was in the making.
 For one thing, Italy has shown her desire to maintain good relations with the Allies by the fact that the Ita1- ian delegates remaining ins Paris will continue to collaborate in the work of the Inter-Alied commission not pertaining to the actual work of the peace conference.
 It is thought possible that Premier Orlando may call the Italian parIia- ment together at an earlier date than May 6, as previously fixed, and that he may be back in Paris for the opening of the negotiations at Yer sailles, which will not begin before | the first or second of May.

HAIL COLUMBIA"

While Francis Scott Keys Star Spangled Banner is now recognized as the national anthem of the Unit ed States, there are those who pre- fer the sturdy American spirit which breathes in the first of the republic s great patriotic songs, Joseph Hop kinson's Hail, Columbian The lat ter was composed in 179S, sixteen years before ''The Star SpangIed Banner" and it was considered the national anthem for years after Keys song was written.
 Hail, Columbian was first sung il public at benefit given at the Chest nut Street Theatre in Philadelphia for a young actor and singer named Fox This affair was staged on April 25, 1798, just 121 years ago to- day Joseph Hopkinson, the author was a Philadelphia lawyer, the sor of Francis Hopkinson, also a distin- guished lawyer and Jurist. The fath- CT had gained fame as a poet by writing ''The Battle of the Kegs,' ana the son inherited his poetic gifts Fox, the actor, was a friend of youns Hopkinson, and he appealed to him to write 8 song to be sung by Fox a his benefit. Answering to this appeal Mir Hopkinson wrote Hail, Colum. bia.'' It was received with great en thusiasm, and soon spread over tht whole country. The air was that O. the Presidents March," then ver1 popular.
 In an account of the song, the au thor wrote that it was composed a a time when war with France wa thought inevitable. Congress beini then in session in Philadelphia de Iiberating upon that important sub ect, and acts of hostility having act ually occurred. The contest between England and France was raging, ant the people of the United States wer divided into parties for one side O the other, some thinking that tn policy and duty required us to talk part with republican France as sh was called; others were for our con meeting ourselves with England, un der the belief that she was the grea preservative power of good principle and safe government. The prospec cf a rupture with France was exceed ingly offensive to the portion of tn people who espoused her cause, an the violence of the spirit of part has never risen higher, think not s high, as it did at that time on tha | question:
