TO EXPEDITE FOREIGN MAILS
BY AID OF AEROPLANES
Pacifio News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Expedition of
foreign mails, both In-coming and out
gdng, by utilization of tUe aeroplane
is entirely feasible, according to of
ficials of the Postotnce Department.
P'ans are now being made for dis
pi tching several bags of flrst-elass
mi ll by aeroplane in pursuit of mail
steamers which may have left port
a day, or even two days, previouslv,
the bags to be dropped on the vessels
deck from th'1 aeroplane, which should
then return to land. In this manner
letters posted a day after the fastest
mail-carrying liners have left their
b r*hs may get aboard and reach their
foreign destination at the same time
that the regular mail which closed
many hours earlier is delivered.
It is not at all impossible, it Is
said, that in the near future the big
gest liners will curry aeroplanes,
which will take flight from the ships'
dtek hundreds of mlle3 out at sea and
ca'ry to the shore the most Important
mall, arriving many hours in advance
or the mother ship.
Officials point to the daily mall ser
vice that has been maintained for two
months by aeroplane between Colum
bus and den. Pershing's fled head
qLurters, a distance o approximately
200 miles at an average speed of more
than 56 miles’an hour. Any immed
iate consumatlon of the department’s
plans for utilizing aero lanes to carry
mails is not expected, they admit, be
cause the entente powers have con
traded for the maximum output of
the aeroplane manufacturing plants
in this country for practically all of
next year. But officials are confident
that conditions will not have returned
to normal more than a few months be
fore aeroplanes will regularly bo
cairying mails between land points
between which railroads are forced
by bodies of water or mountains to
widely detour.

New YorK, N. Y.—In a recent dis
course Dr. E. Sauer, a Specialist who >
has studied widely both in this coun
try and Europe said: If you were ft
make an actual blocd test on all peo
ple who are ill you would probably be
greatly astonished at the exc edingl.
laige number who lack iron und who
are ill for no other reason than the
lack of iron. The moment iron is sup- I
plied all their multitude of dangeroui |
3ymtoms 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 I
starvation, people become generally !
weakened, nervous and ull run down j
and frequently develop all sorts of
conditions. One is 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 worse thun foolishness
to take stimulating medicines or nar
cotlc 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
tolls you. If you are not strong and
well you owe It to yourself to make
the following test. See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becom'ing tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
incuts for two weeks. Then test your ]
.tiengih uguin and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I
have seen dozens of nervous
run down people who were
who were ailing all the time double,
and even triple their Strength an.,
onuurance and entirely get rid of their
.ymptoms of riysp p»iu, over no u..it,
roubles in from ten to fourteen days'
lime simply kty taking iron in th
..roper form, and this, after they ha
in some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any bene
.... iou can talk as jou please about
all the wonders wrought by new rem
edies, 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 flesh on your
bones. It is also a great nerve and
stomach strengthener and the best
blood builder in the world. The only
trouble was that the old forms of In
organic iron like tincture of iron, iron
acetate, etc., often ruined people's
eelh, upset their stomachs und were
not assimlluted and for these reasons
they frequently did more harm than
guud. but with the discovery of the
newer forms of organic iron all this
has been overcome. Nuxated Iron
for example is pleasant to take, does
not Injure the teeth and Is almost
Immediately beneficial.
NOTE.—The manufacturers of Nux
ated 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 uny man
1 oi 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 die- |
pensed in this city by Lomen Bros.,
successors to Butler, Mauro & Co.,
and all other druggists.

According to recent reports valu
able deposits ot tungsten bearing
minerals have been found to occur in
several localities In Yukon territory.
The financial statement recently
issued by the Bank of Pstersburk
shows the deposits to be $143,938.20 ■
gain of $27,042.69 since the last quar
ter.
Wlille coming down Tonsina hilt
recently, Ernie Bryson, a driver for
thi Northern Commercial Company,
was severely injured when the wsgoi
overturned on a sharp turn.
At a recent election held in Juneau
the people by a vot* ot 109 to 22
voted in favor of taking the adjacent
tide lands into the City. Forty or
ll'iy families occupy the lands to be
taken in.
Thos. Higgs of the Alaska Engineer
ing Commission at Fairbanks, is »x
pteted to make a trip outside thie
winter and will come over the railroad
route from the interior to Anchorage
and Bewaid.
Simon David of Circle, was recently
convicted in the commissioner's court
ut that place of selling liquor without
a license and sentenced to serve six
months in the Fairbanks Jaill.
T. K. P. Keegan, Henry Brice and
U D. McDonald, of southeastern Alas
ka, have formed the Alaska Coast
Fisheries Company and will engage
in n general fishing Industry. The
company will muko a specialty of
putting up salmon in gloss cans.
P has been figured by a Seward
mathematician that if all the subjeotta
of military age of the belligerent na
tions now working on the government
railroad went home to fight, they
would make more than^a regiment,
but would he fighting against each
other.
It is reported that Ben Nornil haJ
mrde an important strike of antimony
and sliver at the head of the Forty -
mile river. Samples sent to the out
side for assay gave returns of |116
per ton of antimony and a good per
centage of silver. The lead Is said
to be 18 feet In width.
The Fairbanks News-Miner at*tea
that no camp In the Interior ha* a
blighter future than the Tolovana.
Five miles of pay is said to have been
lncuted and the mining men are con
fident that great undiscovered arous
of rich gold-bearing ground will be
uncovered next year
A petition signed by 300 fisher
nun of Juneau was recently present
ed to tho city counciil of that place,
asking for tho establishment and
maintenance of a landing place for ;
the boats of the fishermen. They
state that conditions at present are :
intolerable and unless remedied they
will be forced to remove to some
other city.
It is amusing to note tho friendly
spats between Seward and Anchorage
as to which is tho terminal of the gov
ernment railroad. Seward trium
phantly points to the fact that no ves
sels will get into Anchorage for the
next five or six months as conclusive
proof that the new railroad town is
barred by nature from making any
cla'ms as the terminal city. In both
Seward papers, however, are accounts
of a gigantic snowsllde, estimated to
contain 60,000 yards of snow, which
has closed the line to traffic, and
which will not be removed until next
spring because another one is likely
to occur at any moment. This, to an
unbiased outsider, would seem to take
a great deul of weight from Seward’3
claims, and leave the railroad with
out any terminal whatever. It may
be someday that tho advantages of
Valdez as a terminal point for the
! railroad to the Interior will be recog
nised. With a pass of less than 2,000
feet to cross and with no steep grades
or deep cuts, the Vaidez route i3 the
logloal one. Tho harbor Is the best
piotected on tho coast.
