"When win the war come to an end?
When will the United States send over
troops? How strong is the German In
fluence in the United States?"
These and other similar questions are
being asked in the trenches in France,
according to a letter received by Mrs.
Charles B. Harris from her son, John
C. Piatt, who Is with the American
Ambulance Corps "somewhere la
France."
The young Portland man gives a
graphic description of everyday life
BE ERECTED WHEREVER AMERICAN
at the front. He Is stationed In a
little village two miles from the Ger
man line and day after day he hears
and sees the German shell fire. No at
tempt has yet been made to storm the
village, however.
i
German Shells Short.
"This !s a very picturesque little vil
lage which has been almost deserted
by the civilians," says the young man
In his letter home. But, of course,
it Is full of soldiers. It is situated on
a little hill and is in full view of the
Germans, a couple of miles away. They
haven't fired on it since March, though;
they are too hard up for ammunition.
They fire at anything they see on the
road leading up to it, though, so it
is all screened off with sticks and
brush.
"I was the only one stationed at that
position and It would have been pretty
lonely if It hadn t been for the fact
that one of the telephone operators
spoke English very well. The telephone
station is situated In a dugout in the
ground. It is a central station and is
connected with everything from the
front-line trenches to the general's
headquarters.
All three of the operators live right
by the switchboards and even do their
cooking down there. In fact, they in
vited me to eat with tliemandwe really
had a fine meal. We had some de
licious country sausage that had been
sent to the men from Normandy. It
certainly seemed odd to be sitting in
a dugout eating country sausage while
messages were coming in from the
trenches, a few kilometers away."
Work Foil of Pleasure.
In another part of the letter the
writer gives an intimate description of
life on the battle front and refers to
the bed bugs which Infest the build
Ing where he is at present living. He
states, however, that he likes the work
as the days are tilled with interesting
and exciting events.
I slept in an old French farmhouse
and had a back room all to myself,"
he states in the letter. "It had a line
old French bed In It and I sank into
the thing with great pleasure, but when
I awoke in the morning I found myself
all bitten with bedbugs and had to
douse myself with eau de cologne every
nv minutes.
"During the afternoon two German
aeroplanes were being shelled by the
French artillery right over my head.
It Is a pretty thankless Job, though,
as about one shell In 8UU0 is a hit.
"We have fine quarters here at 'C
and are living In the college. We have
fixed up the old schoolrooms very com
fortably and have been cleaning up
industriously this morning, as the Gen
eral is coming this afternoon for In

cape Requests of Friends, Draws
Police Attention.
It was a difficult problem, which con.
fronted James Tenaglea, whose home
was somewhere In "Little Italy." when
he decided to change his place of resi
dence. There was a reason, too, for he
had eight bottles of wine and he did
not know just how to convey the bot
tles safely to his new domicile.
Tenaglea had numerous friends, and
if they should, discover him transport
ing the eight bottles down the street
in broad daylight they would insist on
a "party" on the spot. At least, that is
how Tenaglea had it figured out.
The young Italian then had an inspi
ration. He would niove the liquor at
night. The result was that he set out
Friday night down the street with the
eight bottles in a. basket, trying all
the time to keep in the shadows as
much as possible.
The eagle eyes ef Police Sergeant
Sherwood and Patrolman ' Williams
"spotted" him zlg-zagging about .in a
guilty manner, and they "ran him in"
for violating the phohibitlon law.
After Tenaglea told his story in Mu
nicipal Court yesterday he was dis
missed by Municipal Judge Stevenson
on motion of Deputy District Attorney
Ryan, And Tenaglea left the: Police
Station with his precious wine and a
smile reflecting the sunshine of Italy
upon his face.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE AGAINST THE SO-CALLED
TWO -PLATOON SYSTEM
1 The fire hazard will be increased, not decreased, by the
double-platoon system. (See report on measure by committee
on fire prevention National Board of Fire Underwriters.
2 All authorities and impartial investigating committees report
that if the two-platoon amendment carries, some of the out
lying companies must be discontinued. Is yours one of them?
(See report Portland Ministers' Association and Firemen's
Two-Platoon Committees' own report.)
.3 Taxes will be increased $171,000 a year over the $601,025 now
required to maintain the - Fire Department. (See special
report National Board of Fire Underwriters.)
4 Fire Prevention Bureau work, which has reduced the fire
losses from $1,800,000 to $275,000 and number of alarms from
1960 to 734 per twelve months, will have to be stopped. Chief
Jay W. Stevens appeals to you not to allow this to be done.
Don't repudiate him, his work and his judgment. -
5 Our Fire Chiefs are unanimously opposed to the bill, because
they say it will demoralize the department by cutting down
the number of men on duty, especially at night, and closing
up some of the fire houses.
6 TheT)ill puts many details of management into the hands of
the men instead of the chiefs, thereby decreasing efficiency.
7 The bill will take from city authorities the right to fix salaries
of firemen. Every other city employe, including policemen,
is subject to it.
8 Instead of getting a decrease in insurance rates there will
be an increase because of an undermanned fire department.
9 This is no time to make these radical changes. Other cities
are taking extraordinary precautions against fire. Should
Portland weaken its fire department while the country is at
war and danger of conflagration is imminent everywhere?
Why, at this time, deprive the National service of a large
number of able-bodied men?
10 The National Board of Fire Underwriters in a special report
on this bill advise strongly against it.

Say Physicians Quickly Puts Roses Into the Cheeks of Women and Most Astonishing
Youthful Vitality Into the Veins of Men It Often Increases the Strength
and Endurance of Delicate, Nervous, "Run-Down" Folks 100
Per Cent in Two Weeks' Time.
Opinions of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. Howard James,

Hospital, and Wra. R. Kerr, Former Health Commissioner, City of Chicago.
NEW "TORK, N. T. Since the re
markable discovery of organic iron,
Nuxated Iron or "Fer Nuxate," as the
French call it, has taken the country
by storm. It Is conservatively esti
mated that over three million people
annuallv are taking U in this country
alone. Most astonisning reuu
cheeked women and vigorous iron men.
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New lork Phy-
slciaii and Medical Author, when inter
viewed on this subject, said: There
can be no vigorous iron nien without
iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia
means iron deficiency. The tskin of
anaemlo men and women is pale: the
flesh flabby. The muaciea ia.cn. wit,
the brain taps and the memory falls
and often they become weak, nervous.
Irritable, despondent and melRneholy.
When the Iron Roes from the blood of
women, the roses go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods ot
America, the starches, sugars, table
syrups, candies, polished rice, white
bread, soda crackers. blscultB, macaroni,
spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, deter
minated cornmeal. no longer Is Iron to
be found. Refining processes have re
moved the iron of Mother liarth from
these Impoverished foods, and silly
methods of home cookery, by throwing
down the waste pipe the water in
which our vegetables are cooked, are
responsible for another grave iron loss.
"Therefore, if you wisli to preserve
your vouthful vim and vigor to a ripe
old age. you must supply the iron defi
ciency in your food by using some form
of organic iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt." , ,
Former Health Commissioner, w m.
R Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says:
"I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and
experienced Its health-giving, strength
building effect and. In the interest of
public welfare.' I feel It my duty to
make known the results of Its use. I
am well past three score years and
want to say that I believe my own
great physical activity- is largely due
today to my personal use of Nuxated
Iron. From my own experience with
Nuxated Iron. I feel It is such a valu
able remedy that it ought to be used In
everv hospital and prescribed by every
phys'ician in this country."
iyr e Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied both in this country and
In great European medical Institutions,
said: "As I have said a hundred times
over, organic iron is tha greatest of all
strength builders.
'Not long ago a man came to me
who was nearly half a century old and
asked me to give him a preliminary
examination for life Insurance. I was
astonished to find him with the blood
Fressure of a boy of twenty and as
ull of vigor, vim and vitality as a
young man; In fact, a young man he
really was, notwithstanding his age.
The secret, he said, was taking iron
Nuxated Iron had filled him with re
newed life. At 80 he was In bad
health; at 48 he was careworn' and
nearly all In. Now at B0. after taking
Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and
his face beaming with the buoyancy of

merely passes through you without do
ing you any good. You don't get the
strength out of it and. as a conse
quence, you become weak, pale and
sickly looking, just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron. It
you are not strong or well, you owe It
to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets of or
dinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. I have seen
dozens of nervous, run - down people
who were ailing all the while double
their strength and endurance and en
tirely rid themselves of all symptoms
of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles
In from ten to fourteen days" time sim
ply by taking iron In the proper form.
And this, after they had in some cases
been doctoring for months without ob
taining any benefit..
Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques. Visiting Sur
geon of St. Klizabeth's Hospital. New
York City, said: "I have never before
given out any medical Information or
advice for publication, as I ordinarily do
not believe In It. But in the case of
Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss
in my duty not to mention It. I have
taken it myself and given It to my pa
tients with most surprising and satis
factory results. And those who wish
to increase their strength, power and
endurance will find It a most remarkable
and wonderfully effective remedy."
Ir. Howard James, late of the Man

Krooklyn State Hospital, said: "Nuxat
