The steamer Wasp, which turned turtle off the Florida coast a week or so ago and which was later towd into Pensacola, was righted and towed to the wharf, according -to advices re ceived here. A hurricane which struck the wes coast of Mexico on October 11 and raged for two days,' so far as can be learned took no toll of shipping, caus lag only minor damage The Grace steamship Santa Rita went througn the worst of it, but, according to a wireless received by Grace & Co., she was delayed but not damaged and will arrive two days behind ier schedule. Shipping men now understand th provisions of the new coastwise law and are going about their business as usual., A large number of sh p pers seem to think that it will bring in a rush of Japanese competition and that rates are liable to drop in stantly. This is not the case. To new law, which goes into effect ini mediately and was signed by Presi dent Wilson last Tuesday, providas that vessels flying the flag of an al lied nation may carry cargo and pas sengers on coastwise runs, providing they first obtain permission from the United States shipping board. The steamers F. A. Kilburn and Breakwater of the Emerald line are now on the San Francisco-Portland run direct. In future they will not call at Eureka or Coos Bay. The two steamers will keep up a regular schedule of five day sailings both from San Francisco and from Port land. There is a probability that ths r-.omDanv will put another steamer on the run, which will give regular three day sailings, as there is more demand for cargo space tnan can De niiea.

Consequently the soldiers are In censed. ' They point to the fact that men now in the "olive drab" of Uncle Sam but a short time ago wore civilian dress, engaged in ordinary occupations and living upon the aarrre plane and toward the same ideals as those whom they have left in order to offer their lives in defense of their country. They tell of the rigid, medical ex amination to which every man is sub jected before he is enlisted with the result that tiose found infected by social diseases are rejected. They' tell, too, of the frequent medical ex aminations end of the fact that a soldier who is found to have become infected with a social 'disease is de prived of his pay. while he is in the hospital being cured. Clean Morally and Physically The soldiers declare, therefore, that no cleaner body of men, morally or physically, will be foTind-than in the military encampments, and in this con tentionthey are not alone.. Professor Norman F. Coleman, recently-elected president of the Oregon Social Hygiene, society, who has been at work among 4he soldiers at Camp Lewis, paid high tribute to the ideal and manly qualities of the soldiers. during hig address at the annual meet ing of the society last Thursday even ing.

Tine desire is to secure coopera tion between communities and encamp ments, he said, and to cleanse com munities near encampments of dis reputable resorts that tempt soldiers into vice. Without this active cooperation, he declared, consequences may be serious; lor, wnlle every company of soldiers contains men of high ideals and moral courage, It also contains those who are susceptible to temptation. The Skirmisher, a paper published bv the soldiers at Vancouver barracks, is to contain a column editorial in it i uiituuiijig issue on tne suDjeci. Our boys have subscribed thousands erf dollars of their pay for Liberty bonds, and they will go out and fight, and die if necessary, for liberty," said E. G.

"In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, poiisned rice, wnite bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca roni, spaghetti, tapioca, eago, farino, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the IrOn of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods "of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water tn ' which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve vour vouthf ul vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron de ficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, jtist as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." Former Health Commissioner Wil liam R. Kerr of the City of Chicago says: "I have taken Nuxated Iran myself and experience its health giving, strength-building effect, and in the Interest of the public welfare I feel it my duty to make Known tne re sults of its use. - I am well past three score years and want to say . that I believe my own great physical activ ity is largely due today to my per sonal use of Nuxated Iron. From tny own experience with Nuxated Iron, I feel it is such a valuable remedy that it oughV to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this entintrv." Dr. K. Sauer. a Boston physician who has-studied both in this country and in great European medical institu tions, said: "As I have said a hun dred times over, organic lrorr is the greatest of all strength builders."

The secret, he said, wan taking Iron Nuxated Iron had filled him with re newed life. At 30 he was in bad health at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in. Now at 50. after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable yorrr blood to change food into living tissue. Without it. no matter how much or what you eat, your food mere ly passes through you without doing you any gooa. Tou aon t get tne strength out of it", and as a conse quence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant try ing to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourseir. to maxe tne following test: See how long you can work osl how far you can walk without becom-v ing tirea. ixext take two live-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained.

And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. Dr. Schuyler C. Jacques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New iYork Cltv said: "I have never before given out any medical informa tion or advice for publication, as I or dinarily 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 ray patients with most surprising and satisfactory rseults. And those who wish to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarxaoie ana won derfully effective remedy." Dr. James Louis Beyea. for 15 years Adjunct Professor in the New York Homeopathic Medical College, says: "As a physician I have always been opposed to prescrlbine advertised remedies, and for fifteen years, while Adjuhdt Professor in the New-York Homeopathic Medical College, I taught rny medical students that uch reme dies were generally valueless, but in ' inv case ui jxuxaiea iron severs tests made on myself and numerous na-ttents.-have absolutely convinced ms mat-iiiii a remecty or most extraordi nary merit and one which should i be reneraJly prescribed by all physicians.
