Colonel Dennis says that there are Cal- gary, with a total population of 60,000, sent 16,000 soldiers to the front. What then might Chicago yield ?

TE THE GREAT TONNAGE PROBLEM. >a ---- One of the Most Vital Questions in the World To-Day. How long can Allied shipping with- stand the hideous submarine sap at its tonnage? This is the question 'on the answer to which hinges the very fate of world freedom. Let us look at the facts. At the outset of the ruthless subma- rine canipaign, Vice-Admiral Capelle announced that 1,000,000 tons a month would bring England fo her}: knees. It is generally coneded that, in the last ten weeks, the submarine 'has done its worst because the sub- mersible fleet has been increased by the ition of the supersubmarine. Jet. e average loss per month exceeded 450,000 tons of Bri- ish shipping, and it was John Bull's boats the Germans have set out to eli- minate. . Up to the 1st of June Great Britain On May 1, ac- cording to Lord Curzon, she had more than 15,000,000 tons of shipping in vessels of 'this unit and over. She month for the next six months and still have 9,000,000 tons left if she did "| not build a single new ship in the 'meantime, Looking at it from another angle, if in her rdthless sub- constitutions | FL EFIRS, Se3Fz +12 = td tion: mn send for them." ; RI SEAT HARVESTERS READ THIS The best way to the Harvest Fields of Western Canada is by the Canadian | Northern Railway, whose lines serve the newest and most productive dis- tricts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this country and sald: "If you weére to make an actual blood test on all people $pe exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied all their multitude of danger- ous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and there- fore nothing you eat does you any good; ou don't get the strength out of it. our 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 stafvation, people be- come generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develap all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; an- other is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk; some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can't sleeb at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical ower and endurance. In such cases it s worse than foolishness to take stimu- latin medicines or naracotic drugs, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the ex- pense of your life later on. No matter what any one tells you, if you are not strong and well you owe it.to yourself to make the following test. See how who are ill you | s.

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. have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were alling 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 proper form, and this, after they had in some cases been | doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please {about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, 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 strength- ener and the best blood builder in the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc., often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. 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 im- mediately beneficial. NOTE: The manufacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbginded confidence in its potency that they authorize the announce- ment that they will forfeit $100.00 to any charitable Institution if they cannot take any man or woman under sixty who lacks fron and Increase their strength 100 per cent. or over In four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble.
