THE “KULTURED” VON HINDENBERG
AMERICANS WOMAN’S PICTURE
General von Hindenburg's lastest
picture shows that;
"He drinks copiousy.
"He eats tremendously.
“He talks only of himself.
"He's brutal even to Ills own sol
diers."
This word picture of the German
general was made by an Amriecan
woman who was compelled to wait
upon his at meals when he made her
home 'in Russian Roland his head
quarters.
Mine. Laura Turcynowicz, formerly
Miss Blackwell of New York, (led to
this country with her children after
suffering every conceivable hardship
during the German invasion of her
hom«i The noted American beauty
(presumably for reason) docs not give
Hindenburg’s name in her narrative,
but she names the town and gives
marks of positive identification and
terms him "The Great Man."
She is the first American woman who
has seen and actually waited upon the
German general since the terrible de
vastation of Roland began. In “When
the Rrussinns Came to Poland," just
published by G. I*. Putnam's Sons,she
gives this account of what she saw
while nursing her children, frightfully
ill with typhus, in what was then her
own beautiful home, but it is now
completely ruined and its contents
destroyed or stolon. She says:
The Greet Man Arrives.
The next day, Friday, the Great
Man was quartered on us, the staff
officers finding some other place lo
sleep, coming only to meals.
1 had hoped to be let alone, that i‘.
would not be necessary to serve; but
1 was not allowed that luxury. It was j
necessary to serve eoftoe and look ,
pleasant doing so. The Great Man
paid little attention to me except to
greet me courteously. I could have
done with less courtesy if he had given
different orders to the army.
All the misery, the awful orders,
came from him, the "Shreeklichkeit"
we were face to face with. By his
orders, the prisoners were cruelly da
. privet! of food and the levies were
laid upon the people. 1 do not think
i soldiers meant anything to him as
men, they were simply creatures of
his will, to serve his ends.
It is said that all great men are ego
tists. This one certainly was. We
were so absolutely in this man’s power.
And he was so ruthless!
When a man’s personality weighs
down those about him with a hopeless
depression, in Poland they say, ‘‘he
sits on my head." It is a wonderfully
expressive phrase. The Great Man
"sat on my head" very heavily. lie
jdrank copiously (in fact I have never
[ seen such a capacity for schnapps,)
I ate tremendously, and his ony topic of
conversation was about what he had
done or was about to do.
Children’s Horrible Suffering.
The days went by without rest for
me. I was a machine, night after
night, with my patients—how pitiful
they looked-—little gray shadows of my
darling hoys. They never stopped
talking, only their voices grew weaker
each night meant a battle with death.
I ‘used to stand over them and say,
"Dearies, you must not leave your
mamusia—you must get well—your
father must have his boys!"
Front 3:30 until f> it was impossible
to count the pulse. I could only pour
a few drops of black coffee into the lit
tle mouths, so hideously disfigured by
typhus sores. Near this dreadful dis
ease lay my little daughter, nervous,
hardly speaking at all. She was not
the same girl. She had escaped so
far. Rut breathing the same air with
them, how could she escape the typhus
despite all my care in disinfecting ?
The Germans were not afraid to re
main in my home because they had all
been inoculated. Finally the Great
Man went and 1 was heartily grateful,
for his atmosphere of almost inexor
able power to crush us was almost
too much to bear. It was as if a
black cloud had been cleared from our
horizon; though we still felt the effect
off the orders given to the army, still
wo did not have to look at him or

Great Man's Selfishness
During the few days he was under
my roof, many delicate dishes had ap
peared upon my table but no. one bad
asked me if 1 had the necessary food
to give my children. The Great Man
was served from a "feld kuche" with
the more substantial dishes and I had
to provide an entree or two. One day
the food in the "feld kuche" went sour
and 1 hud to provide the whole meal.
No wonder 1 was glad the “ Colos
sus” went—whenever I looked at him
I seemed to hear bones being cracked
j and ground in to powder. No tiny dc
' tail, nothing that could make the
townspeople suffer was too insignifi
cant to be turned into an order and
signed by the Great Man. In fact he
| brought so much "kultur” into Poland
j that the Poles were almost extermin
ated by it.
We were not the only ones who felt
the weight of his fist. The German
soldiers were treated with extreme se
verity, though given the greatest li
cense to harm and fill the unfortunate
people with fear. It did no good to
complain of any outrage—for outrage
| was ordered and encouraged anil re
; warded. The soldiers were forbidden
to show sympathy.
Soldiers Worshipped Image.
One curious thing—the soldiers had
all sorts of articles stamped with the
Great Man's picture. I asked oho of
the orderlies if he felt it was quite
the tiling to use a handkerchief so
decorated ! The man told me "per
haps not,” hut that he thoroughly
agreed with his suspenders. Bright
red these were, bearing a tiny picture
of the Great Man, and of course, "Gott
strafe Kngland” . embroidered upon
them in flowing German script. That
legend seemed to grow upon every |
thing the soldiers used.
On the last day the Great Man was
with us, another Great Personage was
also there—a fat, beery scion of roy
a'ty, neither clever nor interesting.
The change in this /oung maji's ap
pearance was a distinct shock. As a
ffu'l I had often seen him in Berlin
with his father or some of his broth
ers or others of the family, and at
that time his extreme popularity (lie
was very much the people's favorite)
seemed easily explained by his good
1 looks and his charming manners. I
| know these made, at a distance, a
; greatly favorable 'impression upon m
And now—such a change! Was it due
to "Uulter" ?

Doctor Says ftnxated flron mill
Increase Strength of Delicate
©ecple 200% in Sen Days
In many instances—Persons have
suffered untold agony for years doc'
toring for nervous weakness, stomach,
liver or kidney disease or some other
ailment when their real trouble was
lack of iron in the blood.— How to tell.
N°w York, N. Y.—In a recent dis
course Dr. K. Sauer, a Specialist who
has studied widely both in this coun
try and Europe said: If you were to
make an actual blood test on all peo
ple who are ill you would probably be
greatly astonished at the exceedingly
large number who lack iron and who
are ill for no other reason than the
lack of Iron. The moment iron is sup
plied all their multitude of dangerous
symtoms disappear. Without iron the
blood at once loses the power to
change food into living tissue and
therefore nothing you eat does you
any good; you don’t get the strength
out of it. Your food merely passes
through your system like corn through
a mill with the rollers so wide apart
that the mill can’t grind. As a result
of this continuous blood and nerve
starvation, people become generally
weakened, nervous and all run down
and frequently develop all sorts of
conditions. One iR too thin; another
is burdened with unhealthy fat; some
are so weak they can hardly walk;
some think they have dyspepsia, kid
ney or liver trouble; some can’t sleep
at night, others are sleepy and tired all
day; some fussy and irritable; some
skinny and bloodless, but all lack
physical power and endurance. In
such cases, it is xvorse than foolishness
to take stimulating mediclues or nar
cotic drug, which only whip up your
fagging vital powers for the moment,
maybe at the expense of your life
later on. No matter what any one
tells you, if you are not strong and
xvell you owe it to yourself to make
the following test. See hoxv long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becom'ing tired. Next take
two live-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two works. Then tost your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. 1
J have seen dozens of nervous
i run down people who were
I who were ailing all the time double,
and even triple their strength and
endurance and entirely get rid of their
symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other
troubles in from ten to fourteen days'
time simply by taking iron in the
propel' form, and this, after they had
in some case* been doctoring for
months without obtaining any bene
fit. You can talk a* you please about
all the wonders wrought by new retn- ■
edit*, but when you come down to
hard facts there is nothing like good
old iron to put color in your cheeks
and good sound, healthy Mesh on your i
I bones. It is also a great nerve and
stomach strengthener anil the best 1
blood builder in the world. The only
trouble was that the old forms of in- I
organic iron like tincture of iron, iron j
acetate, etc., often ruined people's
teeth, upset their stomachs und were
not assimilated and fur these reasons
they frequently did mure harm than
good. But with the discovery of the
newer forms of organic iron all this
. has been (overcome. N'uxated lion
for example is pleasant to take, does
not injure the teeth and is almost
immediately beneficial,
j
NOTH.—The manufacturers of Nux
atod Iron have such unbounded con
fidence in its potency that they au
thorize the announcement that they
will forfeit $100 to any Charitable In
stitution if they cannot take any man
or women under sixty who lacks iron
and increase their strength 200 per
cent or over in four weeks' time, pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. Also they will refund your
money in any case in which Nuxated
Iron does not at least double your
strength in ten days' time. It is dis
pensed in this city by Lomen Bros.,
successors to Butler, Mauro A- Co.,
and all other druggists.
