S. on Sound Basis of Fi nancial Preparedness (By AmeetitOw Free*.' WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.—Amend ments to the federal reserve act. design ed to place the United States on a thor oughly sound basis of financial prepared ness for whatever the future may bring during the continuance of the war and after its termination, have been put into definite for;n by the federal re serve board and soon will be introduced in congress. The chief unforeseen financial prob lems winch the country has faced since the wa r started have resulted, board of ficials believe, from the huge gold im portations which have tended to upset former economic and financial condi tions and the recommendations for new legislation are aimed principally at con trolling loan extensions based on the gold accretions. Amendment of the act, said a state ment issued by the board today, "seeing necessary to enable us to deal effectively with the new international problems which seem destined to play so impor tant a part in our domestic lite. The banking system of the United States should be prepared to meet effectively two conditions of opposite character — one. the excessive and uncontrolled in flow of gold; the other, the excessive and unregulated outflow of gold. The amendments proposed are design ed to provide means for controlling an over-extension of loans based on new accretions to our gold stock and to pro vide for the mobilisation and concen tration of the gold holdings of the United States so that the flow of gold back into Europe. or to South America, or to the Orient may be arranged with out forcing any violent contraction of loans or causing undue disturbance to legitimate business. WOULD RELEASE GOLD. Os necessity technical and detailed in their wording. the amendments, the statement continues, are designed to en able the federal reserve banks to with draw gold from actual circulation while enabling member banks at the same time to release gold which at present Is tied up in their own vaults. The amend ments are based upon the theory that all of the Individual banks should strength en the gold holdings of the federal re serve banks. The country's holdings of gold are not used most effectively when they are in the vaults of a large number of banks scattered all over the country, but its greaiest use would come from concen trating it to a greater degree in the vaults of the federal reserve banks, where it can be effectively protected when not required and effectively used w+ien needed. Th member bank does not require gold with which to supply the ordinary demands of Its depositors so much as currency. “It is from this point of view that the federal reserve board has proposed that congress increase the required re serves to be maintained by member banks with the federal reserve banks. November 17. 1916. the cash hold ings of all member banke wqye about (615.000.000. Under the proposed amendment $250,000,000 of this amount would be transferred to the federal reserve banks. Hence the board be lieves that ultimately the law should require of member banks no more than that they should maintain specified bal ances with the federal reserve banks in amounts adequate to supply the nec essary reserve basis, and that the fed eral reserve banks must have sufficient reserves of gold with which to protect all obligations, but that there should, however, be no legal requirement as to the amount of currency that a member bank should carry in lts«own vault. WOULD BROADEN POWERS. 'This is a matter of business judg ment that might well be left to the discretion of each member oank. It was thought, however, that if this principle were carried into full effect at this time, the step might be con sidered too extreme, particularly under present conditions, and nothing should be done that might tend to a further release of reserve money. "A minimum amount of currency that the member banks should be required to keep in their vaults is, therefore, prescribed. The amount suggested is 5 per cent of the demand deposits, ao that the total requirements—cash and reserve—will remain practically un changed.” Nine other amendments, of minor im portance. most of which are related to operation of the one outlined above and designed to broaden the powers of the board in times of emergency, are in cluded in the recommendations. Among them are measures which would per mit non-member state banks and trust companies to utilise the clearance sys tem of reserve banks, and admit to as sociate membership mutual savings banks without capital stock, under cer tain conditions. Two Months After War Three Million Workers In England Will Be Idle LONDON. Jan. 14. — it is estimated that between six and eight million per sons now employed by the government, half the warge-earning population of the United Kingdom, will have to be discharged at the end of the war. according to the report oi the committee on labor problems after the war. All these workers will not be discharged simultaneously, but it is probable that within two months after peaea has been declared, some two or three million workers will be turned off. Regarding the army demobilisation, the committee calculates that the rate of disbandment cannot exceed five thou sand daily at which rate six months would be occupied in demobilising less than on* million of the huge army. Mexico Gets Ammunition From U.

They say that both Carranza and Felix Diaz adherents are obtaining arms and ammunition in this I manner. The passengers also said that attacks ' upon trains by bands of rebels are of almost daily occurrence. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1917 MRS.

Sutton, 323 West Third street, Atlanta, was run over and killed by an engine beneath the Bellwood ave nue bridge last night about 11 o’clock. The Grady hospital was informed of the acctdent by someone who called over the telephone and said, “This is an engi neer. 1 just ran over a man at Bellwood avenue." When the ambulance got to the spot the man was dead, his left leg being severed and his right leg crushed. The body was left beneath the bridge until the coroner was notified and H. M. Patterson & Son, undertakers, were ask ed to take charge of it. An inquest will be held today. Inquiries at the offices of four rail roads running trains beneath the Bell wood bridge failed to get any informa tion as to what train killed the man. No further identification than the letters had been made up to a late hour last night. DuPont Officials Say Big Explosion Did Not Result From Any Plot (By Ai.jc'alad Press.) WILMINGTON. Del.. .<:>•, !(.—An of ficial statement today by the DuPont Powder company regarding the explo dton at its Haskell plant says that two men are missing and two are seriously injured. Seven others were slightly hurt. The atatement says the accident was caused by the explosion of a glaz ing barrel in which the finishing torch es are put on smokeless powder, and that an investigation has convinced the of ficials that there was no incendiary. The statement further says; “Reports to the company indicated that the ex plosion was more spectacular than harmful to the surrounding territory. While the amount of powder destroyed —about 460,000 pounds—was large, the loss will not interfere seriously with deliveries.** Senator Smith Gets Federal Aid for Show BY BAI.PH SMITH, WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Th. federal department of agriculture will co-operate in making a success of the Georgia land, show, to be held in Atlanta next month. Senator Hoke Smith and C. J. Haden, of Atlanta, called on Secretary of Agricult ure Houston this morning and obtained from him assurances of hearty co-opera tion. Before Drinking Coffee, You Should Consider Whether Or Not It Is Harmful “There’s a Reason” for POSTUM TEUTONS HARASSED NEARLY TO FRENZY BY BRITISH TROOPS Through Rain, Fog, Mist and Mud They Keep Pounding Away at German Line by Day and by Night 'By Associated Press.' WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Jan. 11.—(Via London, Jan. 12.)—Through reins, mist, fog and deep mud the British army is continu ing day by day to pound the German line. Although there has been no dis tinctly spectacular action recently, daily and nightly trench raids and the drum ming of the artillery have continued. These operations have yielded a con stant inflow of prisoners and have kept the casualty lists growing. According to the stories told by the prisoners the British tactics have harassed the Ger man troops almost beyond endurance. The last week has witnessed some typfcal so-called minor operations, cul minating with an attack before dawn today north of Beaumont-Hamel. This action brought the total of prisoners ■ taken in this area in the last three days to 300 and placed in British hands some I important sections of trenches. On Tuesday night the British attacked a desired section of the German lines, which was taken with a yield of 140 prisoners. The operations this morning drove the Germans from a position which they had held for some time and from which they could observe part of the British line. The attack was preceded by the usual artillery preparation which, as a matter of fact, had been going on for nearly a week but had grown particular ly severe in the last forty-eight hours. Just before dawn the British ‘went over.” Ahead of them, in that darkest I hour before the sun rose was the fiery [ curtain of shells from the guns far in | the rear. The sodden trenoh of No Man’s Land over which they plodded was lit by the glare of the exploding shells. As the barrage crept steadily forward the men followed it so closely that the spectator momentarily expected | them to be smashed by the fire of their own guns. Red rockets from the Ger j man trenches flashed signals for aid to i the defending guns in the rear, but the 1 counter barrage failed to check the ad- ■ rance. The German gunnery in this in i stance was described by the attacking ; officers as weak and erratic. The British soldiers encountered little [ resistance when they entered the shell- I torn trenches. The Germans had taken refuge from the terrific shell fire in the dugouts and communicating trenches, i The prisoners taken in this raid had been on the front line for a long while and appeared very much dejected. As soon as the captured trenches had been cleared of the last hostile fighter squads of engineers were sent in to consolidate and repair the new positions and before night the regular booming of the big guns told that the battle had once more settled down into its customary routine. EPILEPSY MASTERED? Eminent Phyzician Said to Have Pound a Permanent Cure. • NEW YORK. Jan. 15.—Advices from abroad state that the eminent Dr. G. H.

Hinshaw today issued a call for a meeting of the national committee of the Prohibition party to be held in Chicago January 16, 17 and 18, to plan a cam paign for the election of a "dry" con gress in 1918. "Both houses of congress, Hke the people as a whole, are, I believe, oppos ed to the liquor traffic,” said Chairman Hinshaw. “The national oomTrJittee will strive with the co-operation of the Pro hibition party to crystalize and focus this sentiment and embody it into a virile militant force. We expect to make national prohibition the issue of the con gressional campaign of 1918.” No Let-Up in Rome’s Fight for Armor Plant (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

Nuxated Iron to Make New Age of Beautiful Women and VigorouslronMen . Say Physicians—Quickly Puts Roses Into the Cheeks of Women and Most Astonishing Youthful Power Into the Veins of Men —It Often Increases the Strength and Endurance of Delicate, Nervous “Run-Down” Folks 200 Per Cent, in Two Weeks’ Time. A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY WHICH PROMISES TO MARK A NEW ERA IN MEDICAL SCIENCE NEW YORK, N. Y.—Since the remark able discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron or “Fer Nuxate,” as the French call it, has taken the country by storm. It is conservatively estimated that oyer three million persons annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonish ing results are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen. So much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beauti ful rosy-cheeked women and vigorous iron men. Dr. King, a New York physician and author, when interviewed on the subject, said: "There can be no vigorous iron inen without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale. The flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone: the brain fags and the memory fails and often they become weak, nervous, irri table, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of Amer ica, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated corn meal. no longer is iron to be found. Re fining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impover ished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. “Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron defi ciency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." Dr. Sauer, who has studied abroad in great European medical institutions, said: “As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away patent medicines and nau seous concoctions and take simple nux ated iron, I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver, heart trouble, etc. The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condi tion brought on by lack of iron in the blood- “Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examina tion for life Insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact, a young man he really was, notwithstand ing his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron—Nuxated Iron had filled'him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in. Now, at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth.

Without It. no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good You don’t get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become pale and sickly looking, just like a plant try ing to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ail ing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid them selves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles jn from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some eases been doctoring for months without obtaining any bene fit. But don’t take the old forms of re duced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas! not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.

And he has no "Rodey" to lead the audience in song, for theer is no. music here. But, like Sunday, Flynn uses humor as an anesthetic and drives his moral home while his audience is laughing. He burlesques rheumatism, stoopeo shoulders, bloated stomachs and other I physical deformities. i "Billy Sunday is willing to make a | monkey of himself now and then,” he ; says. "So am 1.
