LEVANT FULL OF WRETCHED WAR VICTIMS Doleful Beyond Description Is Condition of Constanti nople Refugees. AMERICANS GIVE AID CONSTANTINOPLE, July 15. (By Mail) —With Constantlcople so filled be yond its capacity with thousands of un derfed, ill clothed, destitute refugees that many of them have no other place to lie down at night than dirty alley gutters, the constant stream of homeless families that steadily makes Its way for the metropolis is overflowing into the adjacent territory. They have been coming in apparently unending procession for months. With the renewed military activity of the Greeks and the Turkish Nationalists their number has been increased by added thousands who have fled from villages near the lines to esepae Turkish exc-es. At Ismidt, about twenty-five miles across the Bosporus, on the peninsula to which it has given its name, a little band of American relief workers, of which a Mis souri girl Is a member, are being worked night and day to care for approximately twenty thousand refugees. About two thirds of this number are Greeks, the rest Armenians, with children forming a large fraction of both groups. XKRVOrS DRAIN IS HEAVY. The drain on the energies of the work- ' ers of the Near East Relief Is severe, so severe that Miss Sabra C. Bradley, a , niece of Judge David 11. Harris, 823 Court street, Fulton, Mo., in all of her < two years service In the war regions of ! the Levant declares that she has never j experienced such a situation. And she has served with the relief organizations j In the districts of Asia Minor that border I on the Black Sea, where the Near East j Relief has found its most difficult prob- j lems. Proper shelter and bousing, of course. , Is out of the question. Not only are present buildings lacking to care for such a vast army of refugees, but funds j and materials are not available for the j constructs nos new ones. Just beyond Ismidt are the hunting lodge and stables of a former Sultan. Abdul Azziz. They are more than half a century old and in sad Lick of repair, but to the hundreds of Greeks and Ar menians gathered in them, they repre sent greater luxury than they ever did to the comfort loving Sultan and his gay I courtiers, who sported there in the gold en days of the Turkish Empire. FOOD SCARCE AS SHEI.TER. Food is as scarce as shelter. Miss Bradley tells of children who walk daily j Into Ismidt and the adjoining town of ! Derlndje for the allowance of milk that I the relief organization supplies them. In more fortunate lands fond parents would I not trust many of these tots on legs Judged to have not yet grown strong enough to support their tiny bodies. Every doy, according to the Missouri girl, there comes an appeal from each of the countless villages nearby, appeals for food from famished mouths, or cloth ing to protect almost naked bodies from the bitter weather. Rags, so tattered that they are little more than shreds, dirty and ill smelling, form the only garments that most of the refugees possess. It is the rainy season and the roads are Httle better than big pools of mud md nauseating slime. Conditions in side wretched hovels, of necessity called ■wines, are not much better. During the ' ?arly activities of the allies against the Turkish Nationalists, when the Nation- j ilist movement was just beginning, the i Peninsula of Ismidt suffered severely from subsequent bombardment and few boildings remain intact. Through huge holes gaping in the wails and roofs the water flows In. UOO FAMILIES IN MISERY. These conditions are best Illustrated by that of the village of Rahmieh Keuy. it the head of the peninsula, described by one of Miss Bradley’s co-workers. Here 1.500 families exist in the utmost misery. I'ndernourished snd worn by I undiminlshing hardship, they are easy | prey to innumerable diseases that flour- I ish under such conditions. Demands upon physicians of the Near East Relief ; ind upon the store of medicines, accord- j trig to this worker, can hardly be tilled. F*lm time to time, all too Infrequent- j ly from the necessity, old clothes sent ! out from the United .States reach the re- j lief unit in the district. “We are almost trampled to death by I the rush of half-naked wretches that dash for us when we distribute these clothes,” Miss Mradley declares. “To those that w are able to clothe the gar ments are better than medicine. To one village where we took a shipment for distribution we Included in, the bundle some children’s clothes. We were met by the usual rush of refugees and tne clothes disappeared rapidly. At last only the baby clothes were left. Upon inves tigation we found that not a single baby among the relatively large number that we had found there previously remained. Th*y had ail died from exposure and lack of proper care.” WOMAN, 6*. BEARS 13TII CHILD. BLAND. Mo., Aug. s.—Mrs. Amanda Martin. tiS years old. has presented her husband with a fine healthy boy.

INDIGESTION. NER VOUS PROSTRATION. ETC.. WHEN ITS SIMPLY IRON STARVATION OF THE BLOOD. Many women believe they are weak and nervous as a result of ape. worry and overwork; they think that their disturbed digestion, headaches, heart palpitation, shortness of breath, pains across the hack, etc., are due to some serious di sease instead of the real cause—iron star vation o! the blood. This is proven by the fact that when many of these same women take organic iron for awhile all their alarming symptoms quickly disap pear and they become strong, robust and healthy. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food iuto liv ing cells and tissue. Without it noth ing you eat does you the proper amount of good—you do not get the strength out of it. If you are not strong and well do not wait until you go all to pieces and col lapse in a state of nervous prostration, but take some organic iron—Nuxated Iron—at once. But be sure it's organic iron and not metallic iron which people usually take and which is made merely by the action of strong acids on suia’l pieces of iron. Organic Ni'XATKIt IKwN is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach. lentils and apples tliii it often increases the bodily and men tal vigor of weak, wornont women in two weeks' time. Beware of substitutes look for the word "Nuxated'’ on every package and the letters V I on every tablet.
