K A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 26, 1917. TO FEEL NEUTRALS WHO HELP BELGIUM Koncombatants Get Needed Grains in Return for Trans portation of Food to Suf fering Little Country. (By AMoclated Press.) Washington, Aug. 25. Belgium will get food quickly and neutrals will have some of their wants supplied through an agreement entered into today by the food commission and the governments of the neutral Eu ropean countries. It was decided to let thirty or more Dutch ships sail at once from an At lantic port carrying grain owned by the Netherlands government on con dition that the greater part of the cargoes shall be used for relief of the Belgians. Swap Wheat for Rye. It was also announced that the Swedish mission had sold at cost 552,000 bushels of wheat in this coun try to the Belgian relief. The wheat, which was bought by the Swedish government last January and had been in elevators ever since, will go iorward immediately. In return the Swedish government will be allowed to ship 270,000 bush els of rye of the new American crop, which will be available in September or October. Negotiations between United States officials and represen tatives of the neutrals have been in progress for several weeks. Proposal was followed by counter proposal un til at one time it looked as if a work ing agreement was an impossibility. The needs of all the European neu trals have been laid before the food commission and complete statistics furnished regarding supply, consump tion, exports, imports, manufacture and per capita requirements. Norway Gives Ships for Food. Norway's case has been presented by the mission headed by Dr. Nanscn and complete accord has been reached, it is understood, regarding commodities to go forward to that country immediately. Norway needs foodstuffs and has ships to barter and jlic is willing to devote 1,000,000 tons to the service of the United States if she can get food in return; It is un derstood that this offer in part has been accepted. One of the propositions made by Holland was to turn over to the use of the trade of the entente allies a large share of her merchant fleet, on condition that the ships go without any such proviso. Holland main tained that it would be almost com mercial suicide to risk ner snips, as it might cut off her immense colonial trade. , , One-Third for Holland. Chevalier Van Rapoard, the Neth erlands minister, presented the claims and needs of his country and nego tiated until the proposition finally given him by Mr. Hoover was of Secretary of Interior Lane, With Son, Who Soon Leaves for Front &X f Jt I the? i ikS hJ 2 jTT 'i L' "i cs 1 ! rsiir v. . v w i s7 V ' ' wwiim in. lamnimimie an t. ....... jj.u.i. j.ji an SCV SAME ATOHIS. eign flag but with American charter to engage in the coastwise trade. What arrangement is to be made to meet the needs of Switzerland and Denmark could not be learned today, but the general understanding is that a certain amount of the old crop wheat with some fats will be allowed to thsee countries as well as to Nor way, Sweden and Holland. . In every case a promise is obtained from the neutrals that no material furnished them under this agreement is to be re-exported to countries with whom the allies are at war.

American Training Camp in France, Aug. 25. Medill McCormick, con-grcssman-at-large from Illinois, who is visiting the American expeditionary force here, had a narrow escape from serious injury thU morning from the explosion of a trench bomb inadvert ently thrown in his direction by a soldier practicing war maneuvers. M McCormick was following closely at the heels of a squad of trench "clean ers" when the bomb exploded almost at his feet, throwing stones and earth about him. The congressman's injuries, how ever, consisted of nothing more than scratches on his face. Later, accom panied by Major General Sibert's aid, the visitor toured the entire camp and then returned to Paris. Mr. Mc Cormick before his departure said concerning his observations at the American camp: "We have made, of course, only a beginning, but a fine beginning. The men are working in sharo rivalry with their instructors, a splendid division of Alpine chasseurs. "Our troops ar enthusiastic and ex tremely anxious to know the measure of support they are receiving from the people it home, without which they know they can accomplish nothing.

Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St Elizabeth's Hospital, New York; 'and Former Health Commissioner Kerr, of the City of Chicago. What Senator Mason Says- CHICAGO, ILL. GENTLEMEN: I have often said I would never recommend medicine of any kind. I believe that the doctor's place. However, after the hardest political cam paign of my life, without a chance for a vacation, I had been starting to court every morning with that horrible tired feeling one cannot describe. I was advised to try Nuxated Iron. As a pioneer in the pure food and drug legislation, I was at first loath to try an advertised remedy, but after advising with my medical friends, I gave it a test. The results have been so beneficial in my own case, I made up my mind to let my friends know about it. and you are at liberty to publish this statement if you so desire. I am now 65 years of age and I feel that a remedy which will build up the strength and increase the power of endurance of one at my age should be known to the world. Yours very truly, -J S . Senator Mason's statement in regard to Nuxated Iron was shown to several physi cians, who were requested to give their opinions thereon. Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physi cian and Medical Author, said: "I heartily endorse Senator Mnon'i statement in regard to Nuxated Iron.. There can be no vigorous Iron men without iron. Pallor means ane mia. Anemia means iron deficiency. The kin of anemic men and women is pale; the flesh flabby; the muscles lack tone; the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, despondent and melancholy. If yon wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a rip old age, you munt supply the iron daficiency in your food by using some form of organic Iron Nuxated Iron just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. Kerr ef the City of Chicago says: "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving and strength-building effect, and in the interest of publis welfare 1 feel it my duty to make known the results of its use. ' I am well past my threescore years and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron I feel it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this . country." Dr. K. Saner, a Boston physician, who has studied abrosd in great European medi cal institutions, said: "Senator Maaon is right. As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. , "Not long ego a man esrae to me who was early half a century old and asked me to i- ' ' ' s I Vfftrtttt to match. $21.9S SPUENDIDI.T PH8IGKSD QUKKN ANN DRESSERS Has meaaurr Jlxtl inches.

I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty snd as full ot vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact, a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret, he ssid, was taking organic iron Nuxated Iran had filled him with renewed life. At thirty he was in bad health; at forty -six he was care-worn nad nearly all in. Now at fifty, after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face besming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely neces sry to enable your blood to change your food into living tissue. Without It, no mat ter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a eonseqiirnce you become weak, pale and sickly rooking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron." Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Kliiabeth's Hospital. New York City, said: "I have never, before given out any medical information or advice for publica tion, aa I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case ot Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss In my duty not to men tion it I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish Quickly to inereate their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy."

Mason, Senator from Illinois, was elected to the 60th Congress in 1887, to the 61st Congress in 1891 defeated fo the B2d Congress. 1892 elected Sena tor to the SSth Congress, 1897 to 1903." Senator Mason is now Congressman fromvthw State of Illinois. Senator Mason's championship of Pure Food and Drug legislation, his fight for the, rural free delivery system and his strong advocacy of all bills favoring labor and the rights of the masses as against trusts and combines makes him a national figure at Washington and endeared him to the heart of the working man and the great masses of people throughout the United States. Senator Mason haa the. distinction of being one ot the really big' men of the nation. His strong endorse ment of Nuasted Iron must convince any intelligent thinking reader that it must be a preparation of very great merit and one which the Senator feels is bound to be of great value to the masse of peo ple everywhere, otherwise he could not afford to lend hie name to it especially after hi strong advocacy of pure food and drugs legislation. ren-.edr In nurlr ill forms of tnd!loe ss well a. fir uittum run-down onditliait.
