PERFECT HEALTH
HOW GAINED?
(BT DR. L. W. BOWERS.)
The late S. Weir Mitchell, M. D.. In
Ms book entitled "Wear and Tear," has
well said: "To insure perfect health
every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon o
muscle should take from the blood cer
tain materials and return to it certain
others. . . . This process in perfect
health is a system of mutual assurance
and Is probably essential to a condition
of entire vigor of both mind and body.'
Man is a millionaire many times ove
In the possession of blood cells. Woman
is not quite so rich, for scientists hav
proved that the normal number of red
blood cells in adult men Is five million
In woman four and one-half million to
the square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely
round in health, but in disease becomes
extremely irregular in shape. Every
one can be in perfect health and pos
sess the millions of rich red blood cor
puscles if he only knows how to go
about It. Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. advises every
man and woman to purify the blood by
observing nature's laws. In the firs
place. If your digestion is faulty an
the food you eat' is not properly as
simllated and taken up by the blood,
you need a tonic and digestive correc

'Years ago. In his active practice, Dr.
Pierce found that an alterative extract
of certain herbs and roots put up with

put the liver, lungs and heart into more
complete action. This medicine h
called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

nourishes the blood, and Instead of the
ill-shaped corpuscles, the person's blood
takes on a rich red color and the cor

JAMES W. GERARD, FORMERLY AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY (ON LEFT) AND ONE OF" HIS AIDES, PHOTO
GRAPHED IN PARIS UPON ARRIVAL.
'Mr. Gerard, after leaving Germany, passed through Switzerland and went to Paris. From the moment of his
arrlvtal until his departure, he was accorded the greatest hospitality. His stay in the capital was one ovation after
anothver. His entrance into any public building was the signal for hearty cheers and the singing of America's
National anthem. His stay in France was a pleasant one, after his unpleasant experiences in Germany.
After leaving France he went to Spain and thence to Cuba, whence he went to Key West yesterday tnd took a
train Dor New York.
Minister of Munitions Saya Embattled
Europeans Need to Be Reminded
of Ideals Set Forth.
PARIS. March 12. "President Wil
son's declarations of American policy
have been a moral refreshment to
France." said Albert Thomas, Minister
of Munitions, to the Associated Press
today. "America comes forward to
ward the end of the war with the as
sertion of ideals, of which the European
peoples, amid all the strain of combat,
of hatreds, of sufferings, of determina
tion for specific national aims, need to
be reminded."
'What do you think are the Imme
diate-effects of the American rupture
with Germany?" he was asked.
The hour that America Is actually
in the war," replied the Minister, "the
flow of supplies will be resumed at
full tide and will increase, and essen
tial credits will be easy. That is the
way It would seem now."
The active co-operation of the United
States In submarine chasing, in trans
port and In the supply of material and
money would contribute enormously to
shortening the war, said Mr. Thomas.

WAR MADE IN BOOKS
PRESIDENT OF FRANCE ADDRESSES
ASSOCIATION OF PUBLISHERS.
Germany's Activities Reejted and Dec
laration Made That Conflict
Affects Whole World.
PARIS. March 12. "Our enemies
made war on us through their books,
as well as through their commerce and
finance without a formal declaration,"
said President Poincare at Sorbonne,
in addressing the Book Congress. This
was the first assemblage since the war
of this association of publishers, writ
ers, artists and printers, which former
ly held annual meetings.
The gathering was to mark the re
vival of publishing activity and give
expression to the determination of
French literary and publishing inter
ests to protect themselves from en
croachments after the war.
"What this sanguinary war Is going
o decide irrevocably," said M. Poin
care, In concluding, is not only the
destiny of the nations engaged in it.
It is the entire future of the planet in
habited by man. In order that a new
world may live in peace and Joy it is
necessary; alas, that It be borne in suf
fering, but as long and .as cruel as it
may be, the suffering will pass and
the glory of Fiance will be eternal.
ITALY CURBING IMPORTS
Nation's Commerce Further Put Un

NEW TORK, March 12. Increased
restrictions have been placed by the

country, it was learned here today
through private cable advices. These
restrictions, according to representa

have no doubt been made in order to
place the commerce of the country still
further under government control.
The nrst order, limiting importations
to foodstuffs and other necessities, was
issued last May, and shortly afterward
similar restrictions limiting exports to
the exclusion of major necessities of
life were put into effect. The action of
Italy closely follows similar action
taken by Great Britain.
