Pork cards will be introduced and the extra bread cards, which formerly were provided for foreign diplomats have been with drawn, except one for each head of a mission.

STORY A ROMANCE I’oePle With Stomach, Kidney, Blood, Rheumatic or Skin Affections. Relieved. Acid Iron Mineral (non-alcoholic, natural iron) is taken from a great deposit found upon a poor farmer’s place near Hickory, Mississippi and the story of this great gift of nature’s which made the farmer rich and the medical world richer, and makes it possible for people to quickly treat stomach, digestion, kidney, blood and rheumatic complaints at home, makes interesting reading. An old man while digging a mill race on the Horn Farm, ran across it. He was afflirted with an old fever sore and blood troubles which w-ere con sidered incurable. During the several weeks digging his feet and legs were wet each day as water gathered and he noticed that this water turned a reddish color caused bv mixing of water witli the vein of peculiar look ing mineral, almost like powder cas ing of rock and clay. The sore on his leg began to heal and by the time his work was com ( pleted his leg was sound jyid well. .

County Home Defense committees are to be called upon to distribute 5.000 large navy posters asking people own ing pinoculars, spyglasses and tele scopes to send them to the United Stales navy, where they are needed for cbstivers on the lookout for subma rine. On December 5 the New York State Defense Council Issued a bulletin ask ing public spirited people owning good glasses to send them to the navy de partment, and in response to that request many glasses have been for warded from New York. Among the glasses sent was a set used by Major Hiram E. Sickles, of Kinderhook, in three years of the Civil War, highly treasured since then by the wife and daughter of the major, but gladly sent to furnish “eyes for the navy” in its time of trial. The United States lens factories have not been able to keep up with the new demand for high class spyglasses, binoculars and telescopes, and it is due to this fact that the government appeals to the public for the glasses. In going through the submarine zones ships have to keep a sharper lookout than heretofore, and this increased guard means an increase in the number eye glasses used. When the great in crease in the number of ships in ser vice is considered an idea of the great need of the navy for "eyes” can be gained. Glasses sent to the navy and not considered fit for service will be re turned immediately. Those used will be returned after the war. John L. Sullivan, Pugilist, is Dead. WASHINGTON. D.
