steamers will keep up a regular
schedule of five day sailings both
from San Francisco and from Port

day sailings, as there is more demand

Some of tne soldiers at Vancouver
barracks have gained the impression
that social hygiene workers are trying
to make military camps appear as
menaces to the morals and health of
the communities near which they are
located. .
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. "Thero is no safer place for the
young man than in the United States
army, - ne saia.
Other social hyelene workers de.
clare that their purpose Is not of-
iensive Dut defensive.
Want Co mm unities Cleansed
For instance, John McCourt, special
representative of the war department
in vice prevention and law enforement,
"a mat no cnarges against the mor
als of the soldiers generally have been
made. 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. Desimone, editor of the Skirmish
er, in submitting a proof copy of the
editorial, a final paragraph of which
reads:

"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."

says: "I have taken Nuxated Iran
myself and experience its health

in the Interest of the public welfare I
feel it my duty to make Known tne re

Iron is absolutely necessary to enable

tissue. Without it. no matter how
much or what you eat, your food mere

how far you can walk without becom-v

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.

the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I
