P0nzlS Bubble Recalls

Some 200 years ago the British
and French governments were victims
of these hasty wealth schemes, when
they undertook to eliminate their
unfounded national debts by backing
ventures with companies who were
to exchange their stock for the out
standing unfounded government debt,
in consideration of exclusive trade
rights in certain parts of the world.
During the ten years that the
South Sea proposition fourished up

the company. At one time the con-
Germ had capital of nearly $3.50, 000,-
900, and it's stock was forced up
1850 per cent. Nearly every one
in Great Britain invested in this
venture, and when the crash came,
thousands of families were ruined.
About the same time as the South
Sea affair, John Law, a Scotsman, in
duced the French government to try
a similar plan of wiping out it's ma
tional debt. ALI France was in an
orgy of speculation, and the stock
in the Mississippi company increased
twenty times in value. The crash
came sooner than did the collapse of
the South Sea bubble, and vast num-
bers of people in France were ruined.

u. S. OUTLINES
IT'S TERMS FOR
MEXICAN STUDY

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 17.-(By the
Associated Press.)-President Will

agrees with the terms set forth in
a proposal from Secretary of State
Colby on this subject, according to
a message sent to President de la
Mexican high commissioner to the
United States, now in the American
capital, says the Excelsior today.
Secretary Colby'S proposition, &C.
cording to the newspaper, was
1. That North American lives and
property be respected.
2. That. indemnities be paid for
eigners who suffered during the rev.
8. That the Carranza DEGREES
which are found to be confiscatory
be abrogated.

this government" according to a
state department official. 1t is true
that the three conditions-respectf for
American lives and property, indem-
mites paid foreigners who suffered
during the revolution, and deroga-
ton Of the confiscatory DEGREES of
Carranza are among the conditions
laid down, but performance of du-

Extracting rosin and turpentine
from the Douglas fir is the latest
effort to increase the waning sup
ply of naval stores in this country.
The southern pine-"the land Of tar,
pitch and turpentine''--may have to
yield it's hitherto unchallenged SUI
premacy to other species Of wood in
the forests of the west.
The United States forest service
has issued a permit to a concern in
Portland, Ore, to extract pitch from
100 acres of Douglas fir on the Ump-
qua national forest. This turpentine
company is considered as having
undertaken a bit Of pioneering, which
may ultimately open new sources for
naval supplies and likewise enhance
the value of the Douglas fir. Fur
thermore, the project has for its pur-
pose, the utilization of trees that
have been wrenched from their bear
ings by storms, the rosin being re-
covered from the cracks and seams of
the Douglas wood.

Iron--for consider it one of the foremost
blood and body builders, the best to which
I have ever had recourse"
DIR. James Francis Sullivan, formerly
physician of Bellevue Hospital Outdoor
Dept.) New York and the Westchester
County Hospital says: II have strongly
emphasized the great necessity of physicians
making blood examinations of their weak,
anaemic, rundown patients. Thousands of
persons go on year after year suffering
from physical weakness and a highly nerv-
Gus condition due to lack of sufficient iron
in their red blood corpuscles. To supply
this iron deficiency and to help build strong,
healthier men and women, better able phys
ically to meet the problems of everyday
life, I believe physicians should at every
opportunity prescribe organic iron--Nux-
ated Iron-for in my experience it is one
of the best tonic and red blood builders
known to medical science"
If you are not strong or well, you owe
it to yourself to make the following test:
can walk without becoming tired. Next
take two fve-grain tablets of ordinary Nux-
ated Iron three times per day for two weeks,
then test your strength again and see how
much you have gained.

You cannot expect to forge ahead in life
with plenty of energy and power if your
blood is thin and watery any more than
you can hope to run an automobile on
water instead of gasolene. 1t takes pure,
red blood-rich in iron-to keep the human
machine working right. Without iron your
every action lacks power, your red blood
corpuscles die by millions, the strength goes
from your body and you drop among the
weaklings and failures.
"But when such men and women supply
the right kind of iron to their blood, a
most surprising change often takes place."
says DR.. John J. Van Horne, formerly Med
zeal Inspector and Clinical Physician on the
Board of Health of New York City. "The
weak, colorless blood which had been NOV
ing sluggishly in the veins becomes rich
and red and courses through the body, build
ing healthy tissue, giving renewed force and
increased strength. Without this rich, red
blood with plenty of iron in it, there can be
