His room in the Hotel Oilion. where he receives visitors, is decorated with pictures of famous bat tles, and the windows themselves over look the historic Place de la Concorde. The headquarters building, in the Rue Constantin—Pershings "office”—is a simple one of two stories with a gable room and windows trimly fitted with awnings, its general architecture being reminiscent of American army barracks quarters.

You Can Tell The People Who Have Iron in Their Blood —Strong, Healthy, Vigorous Folks Doctor Says Ordinarily Nuxated Iron Will Make Nervous, Rundown Peo ple 100 Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks' Time In Many Cases. NEW YORK, N. Y- —"One glance is' enough to tell which people have iron in j their blood," said Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this country and in Great European medical Institutions, In a recent dis course. They are the ones that do and . dare. The others are in the weakling class. Sleepless nights, spent worrying | over supposed ailments, constant dosing with habit farming drugs and narcotics for nervous weakness, stomach, liver or kidney disease and useless attempts to ; brace up with strong coffee or other stimulants are what keep them suffer ing and vainly longing to be strong. Their real trouble is lack of iron in the blood. Without iron the blood has no jx>wer to change food into living tis sue and therefore nothing you eat does you any good; you don’t get the strength out of it. The moment iron is supplied the multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. I have seen dozens of nerv ous, rundown people who were ailing all the time, double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of every sign of dyspepsia, liver and other trouble in from ten to four teen days’ time simply by taking Iron in the proper form.

June 16.—(Via Lon don.) —Representatives of the German press were told yesterday, at the regular weekly press conference in Berlin, that the arrival of American troops In note worthy numbers In the European theater was to be expected only In 1918. The general staff lecturer also took the ground that the American forces should be treated as a negligible quantity in the general reckoning, owing to the dif ficulties of finding sufficient tonnage for transportation and supply. The newspaper representatives also were told that a new Russian offensive was highly improbable, but that artil lery and aviation activity and reconnoit ering raids indicated a new French of fensive. The British also were certain to try their fortune again, but no sur prises In offensive methods were ex pected from either the French or the British. Germany’s situation was described as absolutely secure, and German victory was certain, owing to the relentless working of the submarine. Heavy esti mates of French and British losses were supplied to furnish encouragement to the readers. England’s losses In fifty days of the spring offensive were placed at 225,000 men, from thirty-four divi sions engaged. The same proportion was applied to seventy-two French divisions, producing an estimate of French losses of more than 400,000. The correspondents were told that the purpose of the air raids on England was to keep in the Islands trained men of the aerial corps and guns for defense, and that the submarine warfare also served to weaken the British offensive by keeping from the front men and guns required to arm merchantmen. Berlin Says Submarine Sunk by American Ship Was Not German Boat AMSTERDAM.

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 for yourself how much you have gained. There is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and sound, healthy flesh on your bones. But you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want It to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by Or. E. Sauer, is one of the newer organic iron compounds. i’nlike the older inorganic iron products. It is easily assimilated, does not in jure the teeth, make them black, nor ni>sef the stomach; on the contrary, it is n most potent remedy, in nearly al! forms of indigestion, as; well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The Manufacturers have such great confidence ini Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit SIOO.OO to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under Ho who lacks Iron and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks’ time provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money If it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days’ time.

Censorship’s Heavy Veil Hides National Drama Being Staged in Spain LONDON, June 16. —Behind the heavy veil of the Spanish censorship another national drama may be occurring. Vague reports of an assumption of power over the whole nation by the army have been received here. No direct word has come from Spain in four days. "When the censorship curtain dropped last crisis was seen between Premier Dato and the army leaders, and one of the last dispatches received di rect from Madrid quoted Dato in denial of a report that the Bilboa garrison had revolted. It was the demands of the army leaders which precipitated the crisis resulting in the fall of the Ro manones cabinet, but it was supposed that these had been adjusted when Pre mier Dato took hold. Spain has been a hotbed of German propaganda and all British newspapers today attributed much of Spain’s in ternal dissentions to Prussian agents. GENERAL WOOD SPEAKS TO CROWD AT JESUP JESUP, Ga..

Governor Joseph A. McCord, of the At lanta Federal Reserve bank, stated that the $58,000,000 mark had been passed. “We cannot give the exact figures yet." he said. "It may be twenty-four hours before the sum total can be told. We are literally swamped with applications and our force will have to work far into the night and perhaps Sunday.” Whatever the sum total may be, the success of the Liberty Loan In the southeast already is assured. So. too. Is the success of the loan in Atlanta, which furnished $5,115,850 of the dis trict total, which is more than the city’s quota, based on its banking capital. The central loan committee In charge of the sale of bonds in the southeast is jubilant over the loan’s success. A meet ing was held at noon Saturday, at which W. C. Wardlaw, St. Elmo Massengale and other leaders expressed their utmost satisfaction at the result. This section, they pointed out. was somewhat handicapped because It is an agricultural section, and the time for explaining the purpose of the loan was too short to penetrate Into all districts, because, too, of Atlanta’s recent fire and other drains on the pocketbooks of her people.

June 16.—The fish pond may soon rival the hen house on the farms of America. The bureau of fisheries is supplying fish free to those who want them and have the facilities to breed them. In spite of the heavy demand, the bureau wants more applicants to make fish breeding, like chicken fancying, a pop ular occupation. Every year expeditions collect young fish for distribution from the overflow waters of the Mississippi and its tribu taries. The kinds best suited for pond breeding are baas, crappie, blue bream, sun fish and yellow cat. Carp is rec ommended only as food for the other fish. According to the circular issued by the bureau, pond fish breeding should be undertaken only for home supply. Raising fish for sale is too large an undertaking for beginners. Constant war must be waged on tur tles. snakes and fishing birds. Pike and pickerel are cannibals and should be kept out of ponds. Any fish are can nibals if food is scarce. The decrease in numbers as the Ash grow’ up is startling. A two-acre pond stocked with fresh hatched fry may have 10,000 yearling bass or 20,000 year ling crappie the first year. By the sec ond year this stock may be halved by cannibalism and the yearlings will be gin to eat the fry hatched the second year Enough will survive however to keep the stock of adults at the figure which the pond will support It is best to turn some of the yearlings loose in public waters.
