White House Door Closes a Bit

President Harding has been com
PEELED To swing the open door of
the White House an inch or two
toward the closing point. Ii may not
be necessary TO move IL any farther,
but If the influx of visitors maintains
its present current the door may go
within n foot or two of the fast shut
point.
A good deal was written In the first
days of the Harding administrators
concerning the o%pen-door policy.
Seemingly everybody who came to
Washington, and everybody was a null
titude, had received the informas To-
that the White House doors were to be
fastened back. OF course, the OPEN
door policy of the White House con-
Germs itself largely with persons who
want TO SCI. the President on business,
but II also was intended that within
proper limitations the general public
would be received in the office build
ing between certain hours.
Every day in the week, except Sun.

found out that this general public

British Miners Still Out.

London.-While the coal strike on

to be observed in London regarding

Nothing would provoke more serious
industrial trouble than an attack on

Marriages in England Set Record.

London.-There was a boom in mar
riages in England and Wales last
year, when nearly 100000 couples were
wed. This easily constitutes q record,
says the Encouragement. For the
three years preceding the war the an
nual average was only $4,000, and on
ly twice has the 100000 mark been
passed-in 1915 and 19l9-when, ow-
ing to the recruiting cry Of single men
first" the marriages in the second half
of the year went up with a bound and
eclipeed all previous figures.

Randolph. Mass-Several hundred
houses were damaged, scores of per
sons were thrown from their beds and
injured and hundreds were panic
stricken by explosions that wrecked
the plant here Of the United States
Fireworks company. The explosions,
of which there were al least four, were
followed by flames that razed twelve
buildings. Fire apparatus responded
from many nearby cities and towns.
The explosions we're heard in Boston,
fifteen miles distant.

Consolidation Seems Certain.

1t seems certain that all the various
bureaus of government which have
been trusted with the work of soldier
relief will be speedily consolidated in
one bureau, and that scattering work
will be a thing of the past. The new
organization will be under the direct
charge of one of the assistant secre-
taries Of one Of the great departments
of government who will give virtually
his entire time to the work.
1t is not believed today that the
bureau which grows out of the con-
solldation will be compelled to look
after the matter of pensions. There
was an intimation that pensions. as
such, would be placed under the con
troll of the new organization. but the
belief seems to be that such an addi-
tion to the work would cripple the
machinery and delay immediate steps
for relief of conditions as they exist.
1t is moi the intention of the Amer
lean Legion to recede from its de-
mands for permanent hospitals. Mon
ey has been appropriated for new hos
pitfalls, and it Is the intention of the
Legion to stand by its guns in this
matter, although there have been ut
tempts to make it retreat from It's
position.

guess, but ! think it Is fairly safe to

Physician Explains Who
Should Take Nuxated Iron
Practical Advice on How to Help Build Up
Great Strength, Energy and Endurance

Lack of iron in the blood not only
makes a man a physical and mental
weakling, nervous, irritable, easily
fatigued, but II utterly robs him of
that virile force, that stamina and
strength Of will which are so neces-
sary to success and power in every
walk of life," says DR.. James Francis
Sullivan, formerly physician of Belle
vue Hospital Outdoor DepL). New
York, and the Westchester County
Hospital. 1T may also transform a
beautiful, sweet-tempered woman into
one who Is cross, nervous and irri-
table. I have strongly emphasized
the great necessity of physicians max
ing blood examinations of their weak,
anaemic, run down patients. Thou
sands of persons go on year after year
suffering from physical weakness and
a highly nervous condition due to
lack of sufficient iron in their red
blood corpuscles without ever realiz-
ing the real cause of their trouble.
without iron in your blood your food
merely passes through the body some
thing like corn through an old mill
with rollers so wide apart that the
mill can't grind.
FOR want of iron you may be an
old man at thirty, dull OF intellect,
poor in memory, nervous, irritable and
all run down. while at so or go with

MANIAC SLASHES
WOMAN TODEATH
IN orgy OF RAGE.
Long Island Police Seek Mad
man Who Slew Widow, so,
In Her Home.
By international News service.

NEW YORK. June ga maniac.
whose distorted mind gloats upon
violent death and blood. Is being
sought throughout the length and
breadth OF Long Island today, fol-
lowing the brutal murder of Mrs.
Minnie S. Bartlett, fifty-year-old
widow of a wealthy New York mer-
chant, in her home at West Hemp
stead, L. /.
when the gashed and battered
corpse was found II was believed
robbery was the motive. Later. when
the police found money and jewels
in the house and after the medical
examiner hau viewed the body, the
theory was advanced that the wo-
man was killed by a madman.
Mrs. Bartlett had been shot three
times and stabbed In the neck. Her
left arm. both legs and face had
been siashed with keen knife or
razor. Her clothing had been torn
to shreds. 1t was evident the wo-
man had made a terrific struggle
for her life and the murderer had
continued to rain blows upon her
body even after life was extinct
The Bartlett mansion is in an iso-
ls.teo district and no one has yet
oeen found who heard any cries COM
ing from the building.
In his wild frenzy the murderer had
gone from room to room smashing
furniture and tearing up clothing.
Many excellent finger prints were
obtained by the police. The murder
er's hands had become covered with
blood and traces of his fingers were
found on many articles In the house.
The slain woman was the second
wife of George w. Bartlett. Their
marriage was the result OF a ro-
nance which begun when Mrs. Bart
lett, then trained nurse, nursed
Bartlett through an attack of Ill
ness. Mrs. Bartlett had long feared
burglars and was trying 10 sell her
house. 1t was learned that a rousn-
looking, shabbily dressed man had
called yesterday morning to inquire
about the purchgfe of the place.

organic iron-Nuxated Iron-and not
metallic iron which people usually
take. Organic iron-Nuxated Iron-is
like the iron in your blood and like
the iron in spinach, lentils and ap-
pies, while metallic iron Is iron just
as IL comes from the action OF strong
acids on small pieces of iron filings
and Is therefore an entirely differ
ent thing from Nuxated Iron. Nux-
ated Iron represents organic iron in
such a highly concentrated form that

spinach, one quart of green vege-

IMPORTANT POINT
Must be Determined by the United
States Supreme Court

The courts arc to be asked TO de-
eide whether the owner of liquor le-
gally acquired before the Volstead
Act became effective and now tied ZIP
in dstillery warehouses has the right
to withdraw it for personal consump-
ton.
The test case which is expected to
be carried through the United States
Supreme Court will involve the posi-
bility of withdrawal of approximately
70 per cent of all liquor now stored
in distillery warehouses. The case is
planned by wealthy resident OF Cali
forna to whom Prohibition Commits
sioner Kramer has denied a permit
for the withdrawal of barrel of
whisky said to be owned by the Cali
fornian, and now stored in Kentucky
warehouse.
