"Droop" of Modern Guns. So long In front of the trunnions Is the modern gnn of 12-lnch caliber or more that the bending is said to be perceptible to. the eye. This "droop." as it is called, is due to the elasticity of the metal or imperfections of manufneture or design, and In some cases nns ,,,, fnrKi tn n-roppd hnK n inch, Doctors Bring in Important Verdict They All Agree Without Dissenting Voice Since the remarkable discoverv of the exceptional beneficial results from the use of Phosphaterl Iron in anaemia and general debility it is estimated that millions of people in the East ern States alone are taking it. Most astonishing results are reported by every physician who has prescribed it and all give it hearty endorsement. Leading Doctors have said its use would eliminate ail blood and nervous' trouble and give us strong, clear skinned, healthy, vigorous meu and women. Physiologists have known for years that there cannot be healthy good red blood and strong nerves where there is lack of Iron and Phosphates, that nine-tenth of all skin diseases are due to the absence of these two important elements. Specially Is this so in the case of women who so often have facial blemishes. One of our foremost beauty specialists said to our reporter: "Show me the woman with the healthy, clear, ruddy complexion. j velvety skin, bright eyes, exuberant spirits ana vigor, and you will find loads of Iron and Phosphates in her system every time." Doctors claim that pale anaemic women who have "that all gone look," dragging themselves around with no ambition, weak nerves, irritable and quarrelsome, can trace their condition directly to the lack of Iron and Phosphate in their systems. There is absolutely no excuse for their, suffering this way while Phosphated Iron is within their reach. Physicians have always known and the general public are finding it out for themselves that watery, thin blood is due to the absence of Iron and Phosphates and to correct this and obtain a healthy circulation which means life and all that it implies, namely, a strong, vigorous body and a correspondingly strong active mind, one must have these two elements in abundance. Leading Doctors all over the land are prescribing and giving their patients Phosphated Iron .is one of the standard remedies which they can look to to produce splendid results in all run down conditions. This valuable preparation is kept by every good druggist and if you will secure it today and take it according to directions it will not disappoint you. Special Notice To insure physicians and their patients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we put up in capsules only, so do not allow dealers to substitute any pills or tablets.

POTATO FAMINE JUST AVERTED

Richmond would have had a potato famine if the severe weather of the past week had continued to tie up freight. Walter Eggemeyer, of the Bee Hive grocery, said Friday, "Richmond has the cheapest potatoes of any city with-, in a radius of 300 miles." Potatoes were selling Friday for $1.85 a bushel. Last week they sold for $1.65. In Indianapolis, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota potatoes are bringing from $2.60 to $2.70. Many of the farmers in Wayne county have disposed of their potatoes while potatoes in freight trains held J up by the weather froze, thus making a shortage in the market. On The Screen "THE KILL-JOY." Out in the bleak and dangerous western desert, a little girl was lost when her father, travelling overland in search of health, died when he left the wagon in search of water. A few miles away there snuggled comfortably in the shelter of an oasis, a little village of men, all womenhaters, all sworn to enforce the town's law, making hanging the penalty for bringing a person of the opposite sex into the town. They called the town Contentment, and it fell to the lot of one of Contentment's citizens to find the child in the desert. Touched by her plight, he concealed her in his wagon, intending to smuggle her into j his cabin for the night, then before j aajDreai; lake ner to a nearby town where a few women lived. Other Contentmentites became suspicious by his actions during the unloading of the wagon. One suggested a woman. A committee was sent from the saloon to peep through the suspect's window. Its members saw a shock of biond hair on the pillow of the bunk.

WASHINGTON When a .woman loves, she is ready to make any sacrifice. That is the moral of "Her Solent Sacrifice." the gripping heart-interest photodrama in which Alice Brady, the Select Pictures star," will appeaer. at the Washington theatre . today. . Her loved one, an American artist, has great talents, but needi the support of some influential person to further his career. The arrival of Prince Boissard, an old roue, gives hecthe opportunity, and the unsophisticated little country girl promises to give herself to him in return for his aid to be the young artist. The Prince fulfills his part of the bargain, and in the meantime plies the girl with everj' luxury and attraction of smart Parisian society life. After the artist receives the Grand Prize, the girl carries out her part of the agreement by publicly acknowledging the Prince as her lover; but the Fate which watches over true lovers saves her from the greatest sacrifice. Through the Prince's Hindoo servant, the tangle is finally unravelled, and "the man and the maid" embarked together upon the blissful seas of matrimony. A Home Recipe for v Wrinkled, Saggy Skin The famoos aazollte lotion recommended bv beauty specialists for rtmovlnsr wrinkle and for reducing; distended pores, can easily be made at home.
