In view of the immense possibilities of such a development the • periments at Juneau is a notable one and will undoubtedly attract keen terest in practically every section of the Territory. NOT ALARMING Despite the bodeful clamoring of League op posers that the great United States will lose its precious independence and become in some sort a pliant tool and accomplice of the scheming diplomats of Kurope if the treaty is accepted in its original form, the rejection of all but one of the four reser vations so far considered by the senate body suggests that the undesirable prospect is apparently frightening no one, unless it be those among the small group of republicans who first discovered the allegedly deadly flies in the League ointment. After all the frenzied denunciations uttered by this wonderfully dis cerning bunch, it would seem that not even the most thick pated Senator in congress could fail to realize the frightful; danger of accepting the treaty without first subjecting it to a liberal doctoring and shearing to remove the snares which the puissant I^odgc, the ambitious Hiram and others have as sured their less endowed compatriots are concealed beneath the fair seem ing provisions composing that seemingly beneficent document. After having the cunningly concealed pitfalls laid hare before their very eyes and after having their auditory nerves strained to the point of debility by the warn ing floods of oratory loosed by the self annointed seers on the republican side, it is passing strange that every man jack In the senate has not joined the chorus of treaty denunciation and lent his assistance to the noble and vociferous effort to save the country made by the several republican gentle men whose Solomonesque discernment has enabled them to spot the hidden , dangers and reveal their portent. One would think that even the benighted democrats who accept the Wilsonian dictuins as the last word in earthly wisdom would conceive at least some apprehension over the revelation that unreserved acceptance of the treaty will permit others to monkey with our independence, drag our sons, willy nilly, off to foreign wars, etc—even tho the mighty Woodrow has himself assured them that it is “all right." It appears, however, that there are few out3?de of the Argus-eyed Txxlge. the perspicacious Cummins, the discerning Simmons, the aspiring gentleman from California and a few others of lessor eminence, who are suffi ciently alarmed at the dangers to hasten to the task of rendering the treaty innocuous to America by the simple process of shattering the traps with an amendment and nailing a reservation over the holes where some venemous danger may lurk concealed. Rejection of three out of the four reser vations so far presented seems a plain indication that the calamity howling of the Lodge group has left no deep impression on the minds of the njajorlty and also suggests that the treaty is due to receive a fair hearing and a square deal. This is as it should be. Signs are not wanting that a large portion of the treaty opposition is simply an attempt on the part of certain republicans to play politics without regard to consequences. The dis|K>sition to adopt a course of rule or ruin with respect to tin* League, of Nations is also so palpably apparent in the nttitude of many of its opponents that it is a matter for sincere congratulation that the bulk <>f the senate membership has not permtted itself to- he stam peded l>y the ill sustained objections of the opposing elements. Regardless of defects, the league should not *>e discarded until it is proven to be unalterably inmical to our interests—something that the re publican opposers have so far failed to do despite five months of continuous denunciation. PEN POINTS OF THE PRESS It is probably human nature for one to underestimate a neighbor's Intelligence and to be a trifle overgenerous in estimating one’s own. Don’t make much difference whether times are good, bad or indifferent, little Dan Cupid and the old stork are always on the Job. "Cooking food for men doesn’t get us the vote," says Mrs. Pankhurst. No. but it sure does land the voter. Women do a lot of funny stunts when it comes to wearing apparel, but we can’t accuse any of them <>f wearing goatees or chewing plug tobacco. President Ripley of the Santa Fc says the railroads are suffering from l« <- much economy Come to think of it, that’s Just what’s the matter with us. Young Rockefeller outlines the .straight and narrow path to a large and robust Sunday school class almost every week, and does a real good job at it. If we should fall into a bed made up «.f rose leaves and mlllion-dollar bills, we could do that. too. Judging bv some of the extreme styles one moots up with nowadays, the lady who does stunts on the trapeze in the circus is over dressed. A teacher asked a little boy at Sunday school what he knew about Moses, to which he replied: "Please mam, tills is my first Sunday hero and I don’t know anybody.” An angel is a celestial creature who, in default of definite information, of til.'

Y.—"One glance la enough to tell which people have iron in their blood,” said Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied widely botii in this country and in Great European medical Institu tions, in a recent discourse. They are the onee that do and dare. The others are in the weakling class. Sleepless nights spent worrying over supposed ailments, constant dosing with habit forming drugs and narcotics for ner vous weakness, stomach, liver or kid ney disease anil useless attempts to brace up with strong coffee or other stimulants are what keep them suffer ing and vainly longing to be string. Their reel trouble is lack of iron in the blood. Without iron the blood has no power to change food into living tis sue and therefore, nothing you eat does you any good; you don’t get the strength out of it. The moment iron is supplied the multitude of danger ous symptoms disappear. I have seen dozens of nervous, rundown people who are ailing all the time, double and eveu triple their strength and en durance and entirely get rid of every sign of dyspepsia, liver and other trouble in from ten to f urteen days* time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for month without any benefit. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the follow ing test: See how long you oan work or how far you can walk wlthcut be coming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinar) nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Than test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. There Is nothing like good old Iron to put color In your cheeks and sound, healthy &lesb on your bones. But you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbsd and assimilated like nuxated Iron 1 you want It to do you any good, otherwise It may prove warse than NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by Dr. E. Sauer, Is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Un like the older inorganic Iron products. It is easily assimilated, does not in jure the toetii, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the oontrary. It is a most potent remedy, lu nearly all forms of indigestion, s well ss for nervous, run-down conditions. The Manufacturers have such great sonfi dence in Nuxated Iron that they of fer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cajinot take any man or woman under 00 who lacks iros and increase their strength 100 per cent or over In four weeks’ time pro vided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and enduranca in ton days’ time. It is dispensed In this city by Loinen Bros.
