BELIEVED HUNGARIAN REVOLT STAGED TO FRIGHTEN ALLIES
Special to Th« Nome Nugget by The Associated Profit;.
PARIS, Aprilt.—Reports reaching the French government indicate
that the Hungarian revolution was staged largely with a view to frightening
tin* Allies with the idea that Germany might also disintegrate in a similiai
manner if the Allied peuce demands were not in accord with German ideas.
Investigation of the Hungarian situation by Allied representatives dis
closes that the revolt is far from being as threatening as indicated in the. first
reports of the uprising »Tnd also reveal convincing signs of German manipula
tion and connivance.
Government officials are convinced that the llungairan revolt, was due
at least partially to the maneuvers of Count Karolyi. former Austrian premier,
in conjunction with a certain movement by the German government tending
to make it appear that the Hungarian situation was about to be duplicated
in Germany unless the Allied peace demands were considerably modified in
Germany’s favor.
A majority of the officials express the view that the Hungarian revolt
movement was aimed directly at the Allies with a view to bettering peace
terms in Germany’s favor.

Doctor Says Ordinary Nuxated Iron
Will Make Narvous Rundown Poo
pla 100% Stronger in Two
. Week’s Time in Many
Cat- .
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 ooffee or other
stimulants are what keep them 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
is supplied the multitude cf danger
ous symptoms disappear. I have seen
dosaaa of nervous, rundown people
who are ailing all the time, double
and even triple their strength and en-1
durance and entirely get nd of every!
sign of dyspepsia, liver and other
trouble In from ten to fourteen days’
time simply by taking tron In the'
proper form. And thl* after they had

owe it to yourself to make the follow
ing teat: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk without 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 ilesh on
your hpnes. But you must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated like nuxated iron 1
you want it to do you any good,
otherwise It may prove werse 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, la nearly

ALASKAN WHALE FISHING IS !
STILL VALUABLE INDUSTRY!
Associated Press Service.
I jrXBAi:. Alaska,—The romance of:
I whale fishing is still existing with
all its ancient thrills, according to Cap
tain (1. Barling, un experienced whal
er and owner of a licet of whalers near
| Port Armstrong. Alaska. Here, the
United Suites Whaling company is op
erating under the superintrndenry of
Captain Barling.
This veteran hunter has a high re
gard for the sperm whale for several
reasons. Primarily it is one of the
'most profitable big ocean mammals to
bag. The sperm whale, unlike many
of the other species, has a big throat
aperture. In the stomach of one cap
tured recently was found the follow
ling; one devil fish with feelers twelve
feet, long, the creature being 23 feet
across when head out; two sharks,
one 12 and the other right feet
long; and an endless variety of small
er fish. According to the captain,
these were alt in a state of good pre
servation indicating that the whale
was feeding at the time it was taken.
The gender “he” is correct in speak
ing of sperm whales of the Pacific
Coast waters, “It is one of the wonders
of the Pacific”, said Captain Barling,
“Why no females have ever been taken
in this ocean.”
We have killed around 25<J sperm
whales at this station since it was es
tablished in 1912, and none <»f them
have been females. 1 have hunted
whales from Panama to the Arctic, ami
have neither heard of nor seen ;i fe
male", said this old whaler.
“The sperm whale is like a camel
too”, said the captain, “It seems that
| they store oil in a tank for future use.*
just as a camel stores water. Some
times those tanks are nearly empty,
and again they .are full. The size of
the creature therefore is not necessar
ily ah indication of the amount of oil
that may he found.”
The average amount of oil found in
the tank is 1.5 to 30 barrels. The
blubber also produces many barrels of
a good grade oil.
The sperm is the favorite game
hunted by whalers. Bui many othe**
varieties are sought and captured.
Among those commonly taken at Port
Armstrong are: Sulphur bottoms that
measure up :•» 90 feet in length; Fin
hacks sehul attain a length of 50 to i*»0
feet, as do also the sperm whales, and
hum back that run around 23 to 30 foot
in length. They will all average a
ton or more to the foot of length. A
big sperm whale is valued by those
who capture him at from $3,000 to
$5,000
Most whales have a small throat and
and are provided with gill
bones that serve as stra. lers to let the
.water out and keep the small fish in as
they open their mouths and close them
again when feeding on schools of small
fish, such as herring. But the sperm
whale is got thus supplied. On ' the
other hand, it has teeth, ivory ones... in
its lower jawsbut the upper part of its
mouth has nothing hut gum sockets
into which the teeth of the lower jaw
fit when the mouth is closed. These
teeth are ground up and form the raw
product out of which compound ivory
billard balls are manufactured
The whales captured at this station
are all made, into fertilizer after the
oil, whale bone, and ivory had been re
moved. There is one other whaling
station- located ^it Akutan, near Uni
mak Pass, Alaska, and it is understood
that they arc preparing to freeze the
choicer cuts of whale for human con
! sumption.
