Country Facing Better Times, Says Houston

The country is better off today than it was
three months ago, and the business world is feel
ing it's way with increasing confidence and with
the conviction that the worst has passed." David
F. Houston, secretary of agriculture and later
secretary of the treasury in the Wilson admin
istration, said in commenting on the second sur
veysof national conditions just completed by a
Baltimore bank.
'"The country has successfully borne the
strain caused by most notable drop in prices,
particularly of vast volume of materials,
and has weathered trying period of iquida-
tion," Mr.. Houston commented.
confidence in business circles is slowly
spreading, and the country is working back to a
more stable condition. What the survey dis
closes should be an encouragement to us all to go
forward with confidence, though not with reck-
lessuess.

Good Evening
Ey Fey x. MouIton

People seem to have d very absent
minded way OF leaving bombs lying
around where perfectly innocent per
sons can kick them and set them off,
This habit has been growing FOR some
time. Years ago we rarely heard of
a bomb and when one was found it
created quite sensation in the news
papers, but latterly they have been
almost as plentiful as Fords and it is
nothing al all to pick one up in the
street car or on the street. Some
people are SO fond of them that they
carry them around in their pockets
like a bunch of keys or a tin Of to-
bacco. 1t is quite dangerout to bump
against anybody these days and
people generally try to walk far apart.
1t is even perilous to shake hands with
a stranger when introduced because
if he is shaken up too much he is IL
able to explode and blow up the place.
This fondness for explosives is laid
to the war and is said to be one OF the
minor effects of that great conflict.
We are firmly of the opinion that We
have had enough war to last Us for a
good many years and we are further
OF the belief that any man who wan
ders around in these times with a to-
mato can full OF INT in his coat
pocket should be pinched.
The Greeks have lost "a full divi-
sion" to the Turks, according to the

not yet gone dry.

neither of these things was mentioned

A CAUSE Of
WOMEN'S ILLS
WOMEN OFTEN THINK THEY HAVE
HEART TROUBLE. INDIGESTION. NER-
vOUS fROSTRATION, ETC., WHEN ITS
SIMPLY IRON STARVATION OF THE
BLOOD.

Many women believe that they are weak
and nervous as result of age, worry and
overwork: they think that their disturb
ed digestion, headaches. heart palpita-
ton, shortness of breath, pains across
the back, etc. are due to some serious
disease instead Of the real cause-iron starva-
ton OF the blood. This is proven by the fact
that when many OF these same women take
organic iron for awhile all their alarming
symptoms quickly disappear and they become
strong. robust and healthy. Iron 10 absolutely
necessary to enable your blood to change food
into living cells and tissue. Without 1t nothing
you eat docs you the proper amount Of good
you do not get the strength out Of it.
If you are not strong and we'll do not wait
until you go all to pieces and collapse in state
OF nervous prostration, but take some organic
iron-Nuxated Iron-at once. But be sure it's
organic iron and not metallic iron which people
Usually take and which is made merely by the
action of strong acids on small pieces OF iron.
Organic NUxATED IRON is like the iron in your
blood and like the iron in spinach, lentis and
apples and it often increases the bodily and
mental vigor of weak, wcrnout women in two
weeks time.
Beware OF substitutes. Look for the word
iSuxated" on every package and the letters n.

She has a won derful bamboo nose flute which was presented to her by an old chief that she declares produces the most delicate and beautiful music in the world. The pareu or native dress is in her collection, while interesting novelties are numbered in gifts given Miss Renick.
 It is not surprising that attentions cinating as she was in her teens when she left here seven years ago, she is even more attractive today.
 ''In the old days" as she terms a few seasons ago, as debutante of the season she took part in Country club plays. It was in a play directed by the late Maitland Davies that her talent was discovered. and MT. Da- vies advised her to adopt the stage as her profession. A later offer from Ed Redmond was accepted in the spirit of adventure, but Miss Renicl1 took her work seriously and soon won recognition as one of the par ticularly brilliant young actresses on the coast.

 Only in California a few days from the South Seas where she took the leading role in The Lagoon of De- sire" which was filmed in that in terestiug country, Miss Renick had many flattering offers, but the desire to spend the holidays at home, cou- pied with that of appearing before a Phoenix audience, led her to sign with Brandon Brothers for a months engagement at the Elks theater.
 Her stage appearance will not give Phoenix it's first opportunity to greet her, however, for the charming little actress has consented to entertain the guests of the Woman's club at its benefit bridge this afternoon.

 Bits of news, social gossip, music and stock reports are drawn into the station from all parts of the world.

HOME TALENT WINS
 LAURELS ON STAGE

A large audience was at the School of Music last night to witness the double bill' presented by home tal- ent under the auspices of the Broth erhood of American Yeomen. The little curtain raiser, "A Woman's Mo-" presented before the main play let, was mirth provoking in the ex- treme and showed the exceptional light comedy talent of Mir Harvey and Miss Marston and the versatility of MT. Melee and Miss Hoopes. MT. Lines and Miss Taylor came in for their share of the laughs. Far from being amateurish, the actors gave the impression of being professionals.
 Mrs. Doulton's Orchids" a clever little playlet, was the feature of the evening. Miss Betty Palmer made a most distinct hit and demonstrated her undoubted histrionic ability. Nor can Miss Mariot Fields be over looked. for her work so far surpassed her former efforts as to establish a wholly envious achievement for this promising actress.
 Miss Alice Chapman, as young married woman, showed much ere ative ability for the character of a serene and loving wife. Orley Isles, the leading man and lover of the fair Miss Maynard. gave the audi enee a most delightful surprise with his earnest desire to get information regarding a sincere proposal. Will Melee again took laurels as a faith full young husband, and Phillips Max well Harvey proved himself a worthy exponent of a gallant young lover.
 Three acts of vaudeville were pre- scented between the acts. of which the feature was Allen Willard with his ukulele harmonies. John Girand, a talented eccentric dancer. was seen in the clever dance By Jingo.' To the heavenly harmonies of a vibrant violin, Miss Beatrice Harvey played "Minuet in C. which took the au dience back to the starry skies of Budapest.
