resume the diplomatic battle over the Italian claims on the Adriatic, as Italy
can gain no advantages by holding aloof and trusting to possible 11:iIiI:• i• v oe
ucpation of the disputed territory to uphold her chums.

rived in Rome and the two had a friendly con• e••.vita.a. Page •:<*“t* said he
deeply regretted that the present strained situation has arisen but believed
that the situation has been greatly aggravated by the criticism of the Italian
newspapers, which, he asserted, is based on a wrong interpolation of President
Wilson's attitude toward the Italian claims.

menting on the altered document in a tone which hears little indication of

"Is somewhat disappointing". Tin* lead of the Loeuvre is followed by others
who comment on the covenant in terms indicative of no great approval. A
writer in the Echo Du Paris who speaks for the Nationalist’s condemns the
covenant in the declaration that: “The League of Nations is dead before its
birth.”

Doctor Says Ordinary Nuxatcd Iron
Will Moke Nervous Rundown Peo
ple 100% Stronger in Two
Week’s Time in Many
Cas>. .
NEW YORK, N. Y.—“One glance
is enough to tell which people have
iron In their blood,” said Dr. E. Sauer,
a Boston physician who has studied
widely both in this country and
in Great European medical institu
tions, in a recent discourse. They are
the ones that do and dare. The others
are in the weakling class. Sleepless
nights spent worrying over supposed
ailments, constant dosing with habit
forming drugs and narcotics for ner
vous weakness, stomach, liver or kid
ney disease and useless attempts to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stimulants are what keep then? suffer
ing and vainly longing to be strong.
Their real trouble is lack of Iron in the
blood. Without Iron the blood has no
power to change food into living tis
sue and therefore, nothing you eat
does you any good; you don't get the
strength out of it. The moment iron
te supplied the multitude cf danger
ous symptoms disappear. I have seen
doaen* of nervous, rundown people
who are ailing all the time, double
and even triple their strength and en
durance and entirely get rid of every
sign of dyspepsia, liver and other
trouble In from ten to fourteen days'
time simply by talcing iron In the
proper teem. And this, after they had
in some oases been doctoring for
meath without any benefit
U are not strong or woll you
awe it to yourself to make the follow
ing test: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk withe ut be
coming tired. Next take two five
grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron
three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see for yourself how much
you have gained. There is nothing
like good old iron to put color in your
cheeks and sound, healthy xlesh on
your bones. But you must take iron
in a form that can bo easily absorbed
and assimilated like nuxated iron i
you want It to do you any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than
.useless.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. E. Sauer, is one of the
newer organic iron compounds. Un.
like the older Inorganic iron products,
it is easily assimilated, does not in

upset the stomach; on the contrary, it
Is a most potent remedy, in nearly
