thing from organic iron. Organic iron is
like the iron in your blood and like the iron
in spinach, Ientils and apples. It may be
had from your druggist under the name of
NuXated Iron.
Nuxated Iron represents organic iron in such
a highly condensed form that one dose of it is
estimated to be approximately equivalent Gn
organic iron contenD to eating one-half quart
of spinach, one quart of green vegetables or
half a dozen apples. It's like taking extract of
beef instead of eating pounds ofmeat.
Over 1900, 900 people annually are using
Nuxated Iron. 1t will not injure the teeth nor
disturb the stomach. A few doses will often
commence to enrich your blood and revitalize
your wornout, exhausted nerves. Your money
will be refunded by the manufacturers if you
do not obtain satisfactory results. Beware of
substitutes. Always insist on having genuine
organic iron-Nuxated Iron. Look for the
letters N. l. on every tablet. At all druggists
in tablet form only.

Nature put plenty o. iron in the husks ofgrains

the alarming increase, in recent years, in amaze

If you are not willing to go back to nature
then you should eat more such on-containing
vegetables as spinach and carrots and reinforce
them by taking a little organic iron from time

When the provision giving un-

He therefore proposed n clause

Owing 10 his opposition this
amendment was dropped, and a
prohibition Tin Article 201) for
six months was adopted to provide
for possible danger until the war
was out Of the way.
Lansing Agreed With Wilson.
While the President was absent
in America, we find Mr.. Lansing
taking exactly the same attitude
regarding the distinction between
military and commercial uses of
these new inventions:
"As long as aeroplanes existed
which could be used for CONNER
cial purposes, they could always
be converted into military ma.
chimes. The problem presented
the same difficulties as that con.
nected with horses which could be

uses of these instrumentalities
and that while Germany should be
prohibited from continuing their
military development, their eco
nomic use should not and could
not be prevented; and that if tenn
porary Determinations against
Germany in the use of commercial
aeroplanes were necessary. until
peace should be established, a
definite time-limit should be set.
The Americans saw In such per-
manent prohibitions only an in
definite extension of military con-
troll and a continuance of the mill
tary spirit. They were for getting
the war over. and the normal
methods of peace reestablished as
soon as. possible.
Five Great Nations Questioned.
This difference was vividly
illustrated in the argument on
March 17th Of the proposed Arti-
Gle IS OF the dir terms. which pro-
vided that Germany be prohibited
until the signature of the final
Treaty of Peace" from manufac-
turing or importing aeroplanes or

in the separate commissions, there
was an unusual unity of purpose.
1t was not planned beforehand,
nor dictated from above; it was
American. The President again
and again declared that he was
only setting forth American prin
ciples and recommending Amer.
lean practices; and ii was true not
only Of him, but of the Americans
generally And il will be this
unity of general purpose, however
balked by necessary compromise,
rather than the petty and tenn
porary differences OF method, Or
the personal anta&onisms, that
history will endeayor to explain.
Thus Mr.. Lansing, in the Council
of Foreign Ministers, General
Bliss in the Supreme War Council.
Baruch or Lamont or Davis or
Hoover in the Supreme Economic
Council, and Haskins or Lord or
Seymour or Beer or Young in the
various commissions, struck the
American note, and set forth, in
general, the same principles that
the President was standing for in
the Council of Four. This has
been one of the most impressive
conclusions that has arisen from a
complete and careful examination
Of the records. And these larger
principles and traditions remain
the same whether Mr.. Wilson or
Mr.. Harding sits in the White
House; they are those governing
ideas which represent the genius
Of the race and are above and be-
yond partisan quarels and tenn.
porary changes in administration.
This unity of purpose, on the
part of the Americans. as well as
the difference of view between
the Americans and the other
Allies, was illustrated in many
ways in meeting the problem OF
these new instrumentalities OF
war. The other Allies attempted
persistently to do two things in

but still II did not 60 far enough.

said that ''the British. italian.
Japanese and French representa-
tives had asked for the addition OF
a clause, providing in the treaty
for a much longer prohibition.
"This proposal" he remarked,
had bcen opposed by the Amer
lean representative" (who was
General Patrick.
He then presented the Council
with the report OF the Commission
showing exactly the position taken
by each OF the Ave great nations
regarding this most important
problem. The question put to
each was as follows:

in Germany and all other enemy
states?"
Here are the answers:
GREAT BRITAIN: Yes, for a
period long enough to dissi-
pate the very extensive air
industry now existing In
Germany and all states which
became our enemies by rea-
son Of the war. This period
should not, In its opinion, be
less than from two to five
years.
FRANCE: Yes, for twenty or
thirty years, a period re-
quired for the destruction of

What Other Allies Wanted.

First, not only to take awny all

but TO deprive her. for long time
at least. OF all aircraft--literal,y

Second, TO give the Allies the
right to fly over and alight In

allowing Germany no reciprocal
rights. She was, thus, not only tc

but crippled moro or less perma'

They maintained that this was 8

they insisted that q distinction bt

that the Americans were a whit
less positive in their view that
Germany be completely disarncd
in n military sense. They sup
ported the following most sweep
ing provisions in the Treaty:
1.-The armed forces of Germany
must not include any military,
naval or air forces. No diri-
gible shall be kept" (ArticIe
1887.
What they wanted TO avoid was
long-continued, irritating inter-
ference with the economic life of
the enemy nations-which they
believed would lead speedily to
future wars.
Much the same problem arose
in connection with the use of
poison gases. They were all
agreed on an absolute prohibition
of the military use OF gases:
Poison Gas Prohibition.
The use of asphyxiating.
poison or other gases and all
analogous liquids. materials or
devices being prohibited, their
manufacture and importation are
strictly forbidden in Germany"
But the other Allies wished TO
go much further. They wished to
compel the German government TO
disclose her chemical processes
and secrets; and even to permit
the Allied governments Ito in
spect all plants used for the manu-
facIure" of such chemicals.
The British strongly supported
this contention-and were sec
onded by France. 1t came up
first on April 18th in the Council
of Foreign Ministers-the Little
Five"-where it was strenuously
met by Mr.. Lansing. In setting
forth his opposition he said "hc
expressed the views of President
Wilson"
las q mstter of fact" he con-
tinued, 1.-The communication of de-
NdiiS ttiSJAhS W iltuiltdi Dl OtbS-
ses really constituted an economic
question rather than military
one. and since. the use OF asphyxi-
ating, poisonous, or other gases
land all analogous matters or de-
vices had been prohibited, includ-
ing their manufacture and i'm
portation, he thought that was
sufficient safeguard without ask
ing the German government to put
the Allies in an effective posses
sion of all their chemical process
ses, including the production of
substances from which such things
could be made =. (he) expressed
the view that all the processes
could be covered by the term

4 The Five not being able to settle
the problem--even after much
heated discussion--they referred
it TO the Council of Four where il
came up on April 2Sth. Here IT
was vigorously supported by Mr.
! Lloyd George. He said that che
was advised by Lord Moulton that
the Germans were three years
: ahead of the Allies in these mat,
ters."
