DRY ARMY IS BIG LAUGH TO HIJACK CREW AT ECORSE Largest Rendezvous for Rum Runners in United States, BtiXFA Service npTl CORSE. Mich., Sept. 25. I ti! Hijackers’ paradise down in L 1 Hogan's Alley here wriggles a derisive thumb to the end of its whisky-tinted nose. The alley Is laughing its head off at attempts of Uncle Sam and the State authorities to stem Its $2,000,000 weekly traffic In Canadian booze with the aid of armed patrols. Hogan's Alley is the rendezvous of the country's biggest bootleg ring. It has no conscience, and enforces its commands with everready automatics. The alley intend to stand Its ground. Down along the water front you can see where the alley does Its business. A long array of ratinfested shacks house the vassals of the ring. It is here Detroit’s “blind pig" proprietors come to place their orders for the “stuff.” They always pay cold cash. The alley allows no credit. Swift motor boats, answering code signals from the “other side" do the hauling. But the booze may be delivered from any landing point within 100 miles. Breaking up the alley's operations is proving a formidable ta^k. State troopers, deputy sheriffs and squads of other law enforcement officers assigned to the job admit this. Their efforts have slowed up the traffic a little. But the flood still continues. Instead of landing at Ecorse. as heretofore, the ring simply does Its business there and make# deliveries at Grosse Point and Anchor Bay. Likewise, there are countw Lift Off-No Pain! I Doesn’t hurt one bit! Drop a little “Freezone" on an aching corn, in stantly that corn stops hurting, then shortly you lift it right off with finger*. Tour druggist sells a tiny bottle of “Freezone” for a few cents, sufficient to remove every hard corn, soft corn, or corn between the foes, and the foot calluses, without soreness or irritation. —Advertisement.

from the blood of I women the roses go from their cheek*. They oecome weak, irritable, and nervous because food tor the nerves can only be supplied through the blood and when the blood Is thin and anaemic, the nerves are improperly nourished. The nervous mother or housekeeper is highly irritable, forgets where she pots things, and often cannot remember what she started to do. At night she often has a “good cry” aDd excuses it by saying it is a relief far her nerves, when it means a high state of nerve force exhaustion. Often her nervousness and irritability is a strain on her children and may help to wreck their delicate nervous systems. Medical science and chemistry have proven that NERVE FORCE IS A DISTINCT SUBSTANCE. SIMILAR TO YOUR BLOOD. It is the most important fluid in your body. It Ces life to your nerves and force to your in If yon cannot think right if your memory toils, if you are irritable and easily upset trifling things annoy you. look into your nerve force. When yonr nerve force becomes weakened, all the vital organs of your body lose their normal strength and vigor, and as a result all kinds of alarm ng symptoms msy appear From the pains across the back one woman thinks the has kidney trouble; another may think her spine is injured because of the tender spots which may occur thereon. The dull, heavy pain in the lower part of the head or the back of the neck leads another to think she is going to have paresis. Sleeplessness and nervous irritability, heart palpitation and indigestion are very common symptoms. Some people are born with a very small amount of nerro-vital fluid, because the nerve force has been squandered by the lives led by their ancestors. Others use up their Derve force faster than the body can make It. but in every case, your nerve force j your capital in! ife. and when it is gone v our capital M gone, the same as if you had lost or squander of your capital in business When you lack

Down in the alley, where rummers’ gold is the lure, life comes cheap. Crossing and doublecrossing Is the rule of the game. Many a hijacker has been robbed of his "roll” by a preying confederate. Those who resist meet a common end. Their bodies are dumped into the river. Os the victims the alley simply says: “Yep, they bumped him off. His luck was cold." / Hoosier Briefs ET out your pencil and |f_j pad," said Lafayette TrafI -| fleman Joseph Smith to a reporter at a downtown corner. “Here comes a horse and buggy.

Arthur Spurgeon of Frankfort, ran into the rear of a flivver the other day.

Your starving nerves must have nerve food or something to supply increased nerve force, the same as a starving man must have bread to make new flesh and muscle. For centuries sciance searched for a nerve force food. At last a celebrated French physician brought to the attention of the Pariß Academy of Medicine a remarkable product which contained the principal chemical constituents of active living nerve force, in a fcrm which most closely resembles that in the bfoin and nerve cells of man This wonderful product was later combined with organic litmandothervaluablelngredientsunder the name of “Nuxated Iron.” so that today true artificial nerve force ready to be transformed Into active living nerve force, the moment it enter* the body, may now easily be had-simply by taking two tablets of Nuxated Iron three times a day, with or after your meals. ORGANIC IRON, CONTAINED IN NUXATED IRON. IS LIKF THE IRON IN YOUR 81-OOD, and like the iron in spinach, carrots, lentils and apples. It pot only quickly enriches the blood, but it also stimulates the blood to manufacture a greatly Increased sappi y of new nerve force, so that N u xa te<Vl ron not onl v feeds artificial nerve directly to the nervo and brain cells, but It Indirectly Increases the production of nerve force through tbe medium of the blood. Manufacturers’ NOTB-Millions of peopla are using Nuxated Iron. From the remarkably beneficial results which it has produced, the manufacturers feel so certain of Ma efficacy that they guarantee satisfactory results to every purchaser, or they will refund your money. If you are weak, nervoua or run down, get a bottle of Nuxated Iron today, and if within two weeks you do not feel that it has Increased your nerve force, and made you feel better and stronger in every way. your money will be refunded. Look for the word "Nuxated” on every package. Sold by lal! druggists. —Advertisement.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Robert Koran, newspaper correspondent, accompanies the Theodora Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1 !•<>!. They arrive at. Mombattsa. tba “gateway to British East Africa.” and then make the railroad journey to the first camp on the game-crowded Kapiti Plains With Colonel Roosevelt are liis son. Kermit, and three scientific members of his staff —Major Edgar A. Mearns. Edmund Heller and J. Allen Loring. After a wonderfully successful shooting trip in the Sotik country, the expedition camps for more hunting at a farm called Saigai-Sai. Going next to Naivasha. the party meets with continued good sport. They are at Nairobi during race week, where Roosevelt is paid every conceivable honor. Now be is giving the main address at the Railroad Institute at Nairobi before a large audience. “1 believe this country has a great agricultural and industrial future,” he says. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “/ r K 1 I hopo that you will ulY ways keep in mind that a I J real white man’s country can inly be built up by making the opportunities favorable for the actual home-maker. It is the actual settler, not the speculator, who should be encouraged. The prime need is for the settlers who will make this country their permanent home and think of it as such; and it is on this account desirable that the largest possible proportion of these men should live on farms which they themselves own, and make their living from the soil. ‘There Is another point, gentlemen. So far I have your full support. Now I am going to speak at the risk of not receiving your suppfl*t. In making this a white man’s country, remember that not only the laws of righteousness but your own real and ultimate self-interest demand that the black man be treated with scrupulous justice that he lie safeguarded in his rights, and helped upward and not pressed downward. "Brutality and injustice are especially hateful when exercised on the helpless. I have no particle of patience with the sentimentalists. I think that sentimentality probably does more harm to the individuals for whom it is invoked than brutality itself. “The native tribes hereabouts are of course, hopelessly incompetent to better themselves or to utilize this country to advantage without white

leadership and direction, and proggress among them will be the work not of years, but of many generations. You must occupy a position of unquestioned mastery and leadership; but, for your own sakes as well as for the sake of humanity and morality, you must exercise that leadership and mastery with a deep sense of all the responsibilities which it entails.

sympathized In our own west. "But I also have a most profound sympathy for the government officials, for I, too, have been a government official. If you will consult the newspapers of my own land, you will find that there are a great number of persons who cun dissemble any liking for me. "At the risk of seeming to preach, and because of the sincerity of my belief in you and the earnestness of my wisn for your future welfare, I want to lay stress on two things especially. "In the first place, the similarity in so many respects of your conditions here to what I saw in the west nearly a generation ago. This is especially true of your failures and of the effect every failure pro- i duces upon the prophets of evil and the men of little faith. In anew country like this you have to try experiments, and that means you have to make occasional failures. "Thirty years ago, out west, in a certain very large tract of land —a tract larger than all Britain—l saw settlers come swarming in utterly unprepared to cope with the peculiarities of the climate and yet certain that a golden future lay immediately ahead of them and would come of its own accord. “Boom towns w-ere built where there was nothing whatever to support them, and men who knew nothing of farming, or else knew otdy about farming in countries of regular and abundant rainfall, started to farm in every dir ction on every knd of soil. ‘Jve years later th£ towns were deserted or had shrunk to a house or two eaclj; and the immense majority of the farms had been abandoned. A decade passed, and men who knew the conditions and were willing and able to work hard, who knew about dry-farming and irrigation, came there; and now the land has a solid and lasting prosperity. "Again, I once saw a whole region condemned from the standpoint of the sheep-man, because a company without much money, but wth more money than experience, had tried various fatuous experiments in sheep farming, which, in my own immediate neighborhood, included the atj tempt to run a good sized flock with an ex-tqlegraph operator as shepherd and two Newfonudland dogs in place of collies. Nevertheless, sheep are a source of profit in that country at this moment. Don’t, therefore, get discouraged if there are some failures; and remember that, on examination, the pessimist will usually be found not to be a very competent creature. “Let the people here noto be discouraged.

tled in Virginia, for years things were so bad that they started clearing out, and they had to get their provisions , from abroad. Mortality occurred sufficient to cause a panic in any colony. The history of these colonies was checkered with disasters, considerably more than this protectorate will ever have to face. “The second thing 1 want to say is to the individual settler himself. The Government can do much, in various directions, but the one allimportant factor in the success of each individual settler must be that individual's own character and capacity. If there is any point as to which he can make the Government better and more responsive to the needs of the settlers, it is his duty to work for the achievement of these ends. But he can set it down as an absolute certainty that a pound of complaint won’t help him as much as an ounce of real effort to do his own business well. What he has to face is the need for genuine hard work—work that needs special training and capacity. "It is the farmer, the man who grows wheat or cotton, breeds sheep or cattle —which ever it may he — the man who makes his profit out of the wool or the meat, or a dairy or fruit or some other product of the soil, upon whose success theipermanent success of this country must depend. The discovery of paving mineral deposits would be a good thing —but with much stress on the good —but it would be of no consequence from the standpoint of your permanent well-being when compared to the welfare of the farmer; for a sudden boom, and a few great fortunes, in no shape or vvfiy take the place of steady and permanent growth among those who come to take possession of the soil, and to leave it as an inheritance to their children who are to grow up in this country. "Now, a farmer’s business is just as much a science as any other's. Nobody would think that a farmer could over night turn bookkeeper or lawyer. Yet, in every new country, many people drift in who seem to think that bookkeepers and lawyers, and men who have never done a stroke of real work for a living at all, can suddenly become successful farmers. A quarter of a century ago I met any number of such men in the west. They were generally young fellows from the Eastern States or from England, who perhaps had never done any work at all, or who had perhaps not been over-suc-cessful as clerks or in some other sedentary occupation. “They would come out there with a small capital which they would proceed to invest without any knowledge; they would half-heartedly and feebly try to work at something

totally alien to them; and then, unless they had exceptional stuff in them, they would sag behind in the race of life and gradually become what we called ‘remittance men' — that is to say, shiftless creatures who lived on whatever their families were able to send them. "Since I have been in this country, I have known more than one young man coming hither with live hundred or a thousand pounds, and no experience whatever in his past which fitted him to become an £ast African farmer If any such man consulted me, I should tell him that the best thing he could do with his money was to put it safely away somewhere for at least two years; and meanwhile to remember that a social and sporting life must be considered purely as play and never allowed to interfere with work, and that he had his whole profession to learn. "Therefore, the wise thing for him to do was to go out on some farm kept by some real farmer and ask to Vie allowed to work for his keep, remembering always that unless he worked very hard, very steadily and with much intelligence the man who let him work for his keep would make a losing bargain, "If then, the young man stood the
