PAGE FOUR NO LIQUIDATION OFU.S. HOLDINGS, SAYS DELBRUECK BERLIN, August 6. (By Asso ciated Press.) —Germany has not liquidated American private or busi ness property, Clemens \on Del brueck, acting Minister of Justice, told the Associated Press correspond nnt today. He declared that Ger many did, on March 4, 1918, issue a ruling whereby the liquidation was permitted because America already had done the same. While America carried out this liquidation measure, the minister said that Germany never did so, but on the contrary, merely regulated and administered American property. “When this administration is remov ed the Americans will have their free property again,” said Her. ' on Del- , brueck “In no single ease has Germany touched or violated American trade marks,” continued the minister. In the rase of patents we distributed licenses tor their use by Germans in five eases but we never declared American patents null or void. “American patents and trade marks might be limited in Germany by an act of January 3, 1918, if it lay in the public interest and a Ger man could have, under certain cir cumstances a license to use an Am erican patent. This order was is sued because America, long before had passed a similar law and operat ed tjn general. Germany was par ticularly hesitating in all these ques tions notwithstanding America pass ed a pretentious ’:.w of this kind, < becau-e G ?rmany hoped to be able i soon to resume friendly business re lations with the United States.” The Ministry of Justice quoted A. I Mitchell Palmer, former Alien Prop- ' eryt Custodian of America, as having ! declared in his report to the United 1 States senate in February last that Germany had done the same as Am erica in liquidating alien property but had always been a little ahead of America in doing so. “It is false to say Ihat Germany preceeded America and correct to say that Germany only used retalia tion,” said the minister. , GROCER UP AGAINST IT “I have been up against it for past 3 years suffering from pain in my > stomach and side until I was con sidering giving up my grocery busi ness. Doctors and medicin e did not help me. I heard of Mayr’s Won derful Remedy through a friend in Buffalo. The first dose gave me more benefit- than all the medicine I had taken before and am now’ feeling as well as ever in my life.” It is a simple"; harmless preparation that re moves th e catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the in flammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ail ment , including appendicitis.

(By Asso ciated Press.) —Th e food riots in Italy and agitations elsewher e on the Continent are focusing attention on the continued increase in the prices of food and clothing in this coun try. Public feling, judged by pro testing letters to the press and the talk one hears in restaurants and private homes, is mounting to the point of extreme indignation. News papers are devoting much space to this subject and warning the government that unless it takes ac tion to curb profiteering, trouble may b<> expected this winter. Th e gov ernment’s recent announcement that its present modified food control would be continued at least through the winter does not appear to have appeased the public, and the demand is widely made for a return to the strict wartime regulations. There is great discontent among small househoulders. One writes to a London paper complaining of high fruit and declaring ‘those who buy and sell seem to have gone mad jn their get-rich-quick craze and their impertinence in what they charge th e public is something gross.” The same writer, discussing the “extortion on clothing,” quotes the announcement made in the House of Commons the other day that the high price of woolen garments is not due to short supplies or government charges, and that the stocks of wool in this country ar e th e greatest ever known. “If that is so,” the writer com ments, “why are all woolen goods famine prices, and why does a man’s suit of clothes cost anything from eight to eighteen guineas (S4O to S9O) ? Why is the profiteering al lowed ? The Ministry of Munitions officials who made the announcement regard ing woo] said that the bulk of the responsibility for the high prices of woolen goods lay between th e man who makes the cloth and the dealer. H e said the government was consider ing action to prevent profiteering. AMERICUS SOCIAL EVENTS Department Conducted by Mrs. H. B. Allen. Office Phone 99; Residence, 466. MRS.

There is today a surprising number of persons who sutler from iron deficiency. Many a capable man or woman falls just short of winning because they don’t back up their mentality with the physical strength and energy which comes from having plenty of iron in the blood. Lack of iron in the blood not only makes a man a physical and mental weakling, nerv ous, irritable, easily fatigued, but it utterly robs him of that virile force, that stamina and strength of will which are so necessary to success and power in every w r alk of life. It may also transform a beautiful, sweet tempered woman into one who is cross, nervous and irritable.
