2 .Win the War First, Then Prohibition, Slogan WASHINGTON. Dec. B.—Win the war first, then prohibition'* is the slogan Womans CTiristian Temperance union delegates carried when they left for their homes at the close of their annual convention. Step® were taken to learn whether the American soldiers in France are being supplied with pure water and en deavor will be made to prevent them from being given a wine fr beer ration. The convention opposed sending of cigar ettes and tobacco to the soldiers, but decided to make no protest to the war department, because tobacco is not an official ration. . Intensive campaigns for prohibition in Florida. California, Ohio. Nevada and New York during 1918 were determined upon in an effort to aid raitification of the federal amendment when passed. KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicant* for Insurance Often Rejected An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason •why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble .s so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose ap plications are declined do not even sus pect that they have the disease. » Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that - bas been very successful in overcoming these condi•Sens.

Name Address HOOVER TO GOT FOOD i PROFITS TO NORMAL MARGINS OF 1914 ■ Early Termination of Profiteer ing in Distribution of Food stuffs Is Hope of Adminis tration Under License Plan WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.— Early termi nation of profiteering in the distribu tion of foodstuffs is the hope of the food administration now that most of * the staple food commodities have been • put under license. In most instances average normal profits of the pre-war period will be used as a basis for de termining what reasonable margins should be. In cutting to about normal margins the food administration will proceed under a recent order Issued by President Wilson conferring on Food Administra tor Hoover powers given the president in the food control act. This order di rects the food administration to find the normal profit that obtained In food stuffs transactions in the period prior to July 1. 1914. when business was under free competitive conditions. The provision of the act dealing with profits reads: "Whenever the president shall find that any storage charge, commission, profit, or practice of any licensee is un just. or unreasonable, or discriminatory and unfair, or wasteful, and shall or der such licensee, within a reasonable time fixed in the order, to discontinue the same, unless such order. which shall recite the facts found, is revok ed or suspended, such licensee shall, within the time prescribed in the order discontinue such unjust, unreasonable, discriminatory and unfair storage charge, commission, profit or practice, the president may in lieu of any such unjust. unreasonable, discriminatory and unfair storage charge, commission, profit, or practice, find what is a J? 8 ?’ reasonable, non-discriminatory and fair storage charge, commission, profit, or practice, and In any proceeding brought in anv court such order of the presi dent shall be prima facie evidence.” Bakery Products to Be Controlled by License All concerns in the United States en gaged in the manufacture and sale of bakery products of all kinds will, be ginning Monday morning and for the entire period of the war. operate under licenses by the United States food administration. The federal food administration for Georgia, through Dr. Andrew M. Soule, state food administrator, Saturday an nounced the rules and regulations which will govern the manufacture, sale and delivery of bread, rolls, crackers and various other products classified under the hackery licensing system. It Is hinted that the license of any one who fails to carry out the spirit of these regulations will be revoked, and consequently his business place closed. The regulations strictly forbid the bakers or others who handle the bakers’ products from indulging in any prac tice which might lead to a monopoly of the trade. It forbids any one from hoarding quantities of bakery products. It forbids waste as well as forbids any baker, allowing a retailer credit for any unsold bread or bakery products. With regard to the manufacture of bread, rolls and other such products, the food administrator has compiled a list of specified weights, or multiples there of which shall be net weights, unwrap ped twelve hours after baking. The use of sugar and milk In baking Is limited. • Bread may be manufactured in two separate sizes, one to be known as the 16-ounce unit, which shall not run over 17 ounces, and the other in 24-ounce units, not to run over 25 1-2 ounces. Rolls shall weigh, unwrapped, twelve hours after baking, not less than one ounce nor more than three ounces each. • Standard weights prescribed shall be determined by averaging the weight of not less than twenty-five loaves of bread of any one unit, or five dozen rolls of any one unit, and such average shall not be less than the minimum nor more than the maximum prescribed. The regulations limiting the use of sugar afid milk in dough baking pre scribe that for each 196 pounds of any flour or meal or other such mixture used, the amount of sugar shall not exceed three pounds, if cane or beet sugar, and shall not exceed 3 1-2 pounds, if corn sugar. When sweet ened condensed milk is used, the li censee in determining the permitted amount of sugar shall deduct the add ed sugar content of such condensed milk from the net amount of other sugar and act under the same limita tions. Milk, for each 196 pounds of flour or meal, must not exceed six pounds of fresh milk from which the butter fats have been extracted. The old-fashioned sweet rolls are probably a thing of the past, for under the regulations, bakers are forbidden to add any sugar to bread or rolls during the process of baking, or after they have been baked.

TWINS KILL 520.000 WGIITH OF LIKE STOCK Negligence of Owners Results in Central’s. Killing 1,862 Animals in 9 Months WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. B.—Food animals valued at $20,000 were killed by the Central of Georgia railroad dur ing the first nine months of the current year, according to the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce. In the nine-month period 1,862 head of stock were killed by the railroad, which is an average of one animal for every mile of track owned and operated by the Central. No otner railroad the country has killed anything like so many cattle Concerning the destruction of liva .stock by railroads, the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce today is sued the following: Through the negligence of live stock owners food animals valued at S2O 00b were killed on the tracks'of the Central of Georgia railroad during the first nine months of this year, according to a statement of the vice president and gen eral manager of that road. One thou sand eight hundred and sixty-two head of stock were needlessly wasted in this manner, the average value of which was approximately >lO to >ll per head. Fine dairy cows and beef cattle were In cluded, as well as hogs, sheep, geese, etc. During those nine months one ani mal was killed for every mjle of track on the Central of Georgia ami If that figure can be accepted as a basis for estimating the loss for the entire co in try, the destruction of food animals on the railway tracks of the United States during the first nine months of this year can be put at $2,760,000, or $3,630,- 000 for the whole year. “That is a very serious loss to the country and its allies at this time,” said Secretary Redfield In a statement issued by his department today, “and gives point to the opinions recently expressed by Mr. L. W. Baldwin, vice presided! and general manager of the Central of Georgia railway, and published in the Savannah Morning News.” Mr. Bald win's opinions are here reprinted in part: “For the nine months up to October 1,. of this year, there were killed on our tracks 1,862 head of stock, the aver age value of which is approximately $lO to sll per head. Some of these are fine dairy cows and beef cattle and other head include hogs, sheep, geese, etc. “In practically all of tthese 1,862 In stances, the owners of the stock have allowed the animals to roam upon or near the railroad right of way. and with the characteristic right of dumb ani mals, they do not know how -to protect their own lives, but rush pell mell in front of our locomotives, and then the engineer has little chance to avoid strik ing them. After it is killed the animal is not considered fit for food, and even though the owner received compensation from the railway to cover his Individual loss, so much food has been lost which would benefit the country at this time.” One American Sailor Killed in Seaplane, Announces Admiral WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. —Vice Admiral Sims reported to the navy department today a seaplane accident in tfie war zone in which one American sailor was killed and a gunner’s, mate injured.

FOLLOWING SURVEY Twenty Thousand Persons Are Destitute and Probably One- Seventh of These Are Suf-’ sering From Wounds HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. B.—Four hun .sand persons were killed in the burning and destruction of buildings resulting from the explosion of a munitions ship in the harbor Thursday according to es timates tonight by officials. This esti mate, was made after a survey of the devastated district of Richmond, where acres of debris probably will not be cleared for a month. Working Halifax, however, has ceas ed to number Its dead and is directing its energies to the aid of the living. The actual number of lives lost may never be known, but for the moment the number is of secondary importance. The outstanding fact that has been faced by the local authorities with a courage that chalenges the admiration of their kinsmen from south of the bor der is that 20,000 persons are destitute and of the number perhaps one out of seven is suffering from injuries which in many cases are bound to prove fatal. Tonight the work of organizing the various relief units- into a workable whole with a general direction that would avoid duplication of effort and tend to the greatest efficiency, was well underway. Federal, provincial and Red Cross aid; supplemented by volunteer units from other cities and the United States were being utilized to the best advantage. The Massachusetts relief train which had been stalled much of the night in snow drifts near the Nova Scotia bor der, arrived today, bringing the first contingent of physicians, nurses and supplies. It was the first of several trains en route from the American side. More Than a Foot of Snow Falls More than a foot of snow fell last night. Today the storm passed and the weather was clear and cold. Street cars were stalled in the drifts during the night, but today the service had been partly restored. The day also saw the lighting system renewed in parts, and after darkness fell the city looked a little less black and forbidding. Fortu nately the telephone service is good, but there is a sombre significance in the re port of so many “dead” numbers. The water supply is causing the most concern. Emergency repairs are being made as fast as it is humanly possible, but the system was still seriously de ranged this evening. The property loss, variously estimated at from $20,000,000 to $50,000,000 probably will prove to be nearer the minimum figure. The search for bodies goes on methodically and hundreds are exposed in temporary morgues through which thousands continue to file, though there have been but few identifications. The clearing of the streets by the removal of wreckage of homes facilitates the re covery of bodies. Those engaged in this work are having many depressing and some disheartening experiences. When the blow fell little Lola Burns, the eight-year-old daughter of John Burns, of Granville street, was on her knees by her cot saying her morning prayers. The house collapsed. Hours later was found in the midst of the wreckage, hemmed in by fallen tim bers and surrounded by broken glass, but quite unharmed, still on her knees and praying fervently. Soldier Find* Loved One* Dead In a cellar at Richmond a soldier in uniform was seen digging frantically. It was private Henneberry, who had been overseas with the sixty-third bat talion and recently returned home wounded. “Here was my home,” explained the soldier briefly, while he continued to dig, “and 1. am sure 1 heard a moan a mo ment ago.” Others gave him a hand and presently from under a kitchen stove the pro truding ash pan of which had protected her, was revealed Henneberry’s eigh teen-months-old baby. Olive. Her wounds were superficial. But the pri vate’s joy was short-lived. A little more digging exposed the bodies of his wife and five other children. „At one hospital several children were listed as negroes from their general ap pearance. Later it was discovered that they had been white before the flames reached them. Word has come from St. John that more injured can be accommodated, there. Among the injured already in i that city the cases of twenty are criti cal. ’ Twelve hundred bodies remain in their tcy solitude in that blasted region of the old city into which entrance is bar red by armed guards. From that desert ed horror spot in the north end of the town no sound cornes tonight except the howling of the bitter Atlantic gale through skeletons of houses, and the oc casional thunder of a tumbling fragment of wall. All the dead, both identified and un identified. lie uncofflned tonight. There is not enough lumber in the town to warant using any of it for making cas kets. Some bodies are wrapped in sheets. Others have bits of rag drop ped over their faces. Call for doctors came from hotels to night where relatives of those who died here succubed to nervous strain and ex- . haustion after hours of gazing at dead faces frozen in expressions of agony, hunting “for the one dead face they > dreadfed to find. Food Resources Near End The food depots were nearly at the end of their resources. A system of rationing for all inhabitants of the city may be established. There is still food, but, with the city practically isolated, it must be careful conserved or famine might add to the hardships already un dergone here. When coffins for the dead come in. there must be many small ones among them. The casualties among the chil dren were frightful. More than two score little ones lie in the ruins of the protestant orphanage. While the sleet blizzard moaned through Halifax to night there were many sad scenes in the Academy of Music, in the churches and other shel ters which are devoted to caring for the 20,000 homeles.--. Scores of these people, dazed by shell shock, their brains curdled with the horrors they have undergone, are just coming to their senses. Many still have j no realization of exactly what happened • and their first inquries always are for their fathers, or their mothers, or their children. The relief workers have done their utmost to calm them. Some sit listlessly staring. Several have lost everything, their homes, all their world ly goods, their friends, and their famil ies. Theii lives have become as bleak as the cruel wind which whistles through gaps In the rough tar paper and board coverings over broken windows. There will be no church services :'n Halifax tomorrow. Every church that stands is filled with people that have no othet home and no money. Supplies of warm clothing, blankets and other comforts brought in by relief trains have already been exhausted, be ing rapidly distributed to survivors. The distribution was conducted in several school houses. Members of Suffrage Committee Are Chosen WASHINGTON; Dec. 8. —Democratic members of the new house' suffrage committee, headed by Representative City Physicians Explain Why They Prescribe Nuxated Iron T o Make Beautiful, Healthy W omen and Strong, V igorous Men NOW BEING USED BY OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY . Quickly Transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid cheeks of weak, anaemic men and women into a perfect glow of health and beauty—Often incteases the strength of delicate, nervous, run-down folks 100 per cent in two weeks’ time. New York, N. Y. —It is conservatively esti mated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a num ber of physicians in various parts of the country have been asked to explain why they prescribe It so extensively,, and why it apparently pro duces so much better results than were obtained frcin the old forms of inorganic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given below: Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, says: “There can be no vigorous iron men 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 they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca roni, spaghetti, tapioea. sago, farina, degermi nated corn meal, no longer is Iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished 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 deficiency In yonr food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use snlt when yor food has not enough salt. Dr. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon of the City of Chicago and former Bouse Surgeon, Jef ferson Park Hospital, Chicago, in commenting on Nuxated Iron, says: “It has been my par ticular duty during the past six years to assist in keeping Chicago's five thousand bluecoats in good health and nerfeet fighting trim so that they would be physically equipped to withstand all manner of storms and the ravages of na ture's elements. Recently I was prompted through an endorse ment of Nuxated Iron by Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York, to give it a trial. This remedy has proven through my own tests of it to excel any preparation I have ever used for creating red blood, building up the nerves, strengthening the muscles and correcting diges tive disorders.’’ Dr. E. Saner, a Boston physician, who has studied widely both in this country and in great European Medical Institutions, says: “As 1 have said a hundred times over, organic iron Is the greatest of all strength builders. If peo ple would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead of dosing them selves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and Our “Home Beautiful” Collection This massive collection is composed of twelve one-year TU ® shrubs and trees, of the varieties described below.

The reaFand true cause which started their diseasea was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition 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 examination for life insur ance. I was astonished to find him with a blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of v. vim and vitality as a young man: in fact, a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron— nuxated iron had filled nim with renewed life. At 30 be 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 fcis face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your filood to change food into living tissue. With out it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes thrugh you without do ing you any good, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and slckly-looking, just like a plant trying 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 w. becoming tired. Next take two fhre craln tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see bow much you have gained. I have seen dosens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while couble their strength and endurance and entire :y rid thebselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, irer and other troubles In from ten to four teen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without ob taining any benefit. But don’t take the old forms of red need 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 fnrm that can be easily absorbed and assimi lated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove norse than useless.

One man 47 years old who had practically worn himself out with stimulating medicines and nauseous con coctions came to me recently after 'a month's course of Nuxated Iron and declared, ‘Doctor, 1 feel as Dill of life and energy as when a boy of 21.’ When you compare a product like Nux ated Iron which is easily assimilated and does not Injure the teeth, with the older forms of organic iron products it in easily assimilated, the teeth and passed through the body without doing any good, it is not surprising that mil lions of people annually are now taking Nux ated Iron and physicians everywhere are pre scribing It.” NOTE—Nnxated Iron, waich is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, Is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older in organic iron products it la easily assimilated, does not Injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of in digestion as well as for nervous, rundown condi tions. The manufacturers have such great con fidence in nuxated Iron, that they offer to fcrfelt gIOO.OO to any charitable institution if they eannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks Iron, and increase their strength ICO 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. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists.—(Advt.)
