Freneh Are Satisfied With 8uccaaaaa In Waat Between Muaa and Lo t ralna Frontlar. London.?Two gateways Into Hun gary still remain barred, despite the tremendous Russian hammering and as the Beskld Pass is the less import ant of the two strategically, a further adaance Into Hungary hangs on the possession of Usok Pass, where the Invaders are meeting with stubborn opposition. Several days ago the Rus sians captured a position which gave tbem command of a road leading to the rear of Ussok Pass, but since then the Teutonic Allies have checked the movement. The Importance of the Carpathian operations is Indicat ed by the half-hearted actions along the rest of the long eastern front. The people of the Dual Monarchy are said to be greatly cheered by the number of German reinforcements passing through Budapest on-the way to tbe Carpathian front to take part In the operations, which are now be lieved to be in charge of the German General Staff. The whole situation in the East pivots (hi Usok Pass where the Aus tro-German forces are in such great' strength that the efforts of tbe Rus sians to reach the Hungarian Plains are likely to be prolonged. In the west the French apparently are satisfied with their recent suc cesses between the Meuse and the Lorraine frontier and claim only to have come in contact with the Ger man entanglements in this region. Official German reports assert that determined attacks by the French re ports assert that determined attacks by the French have been repulsed along this section.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency Williams were made de fendants In proceedings begun In the District of Columbia Supreme Court by the Riggs National Bank of Wash ington. D. C., which alleges tpat these officials hare combined and conspired to wreck the bank. Temporary and permanent injunc tions to halt the alleged conspiracy, and to prevent the Comptroller from making what the bank charges are unlawful demands for special reports of various kinds, are sought from the court. One portion of the prayer seeks to restrain John Burke, treasurer of the United States from payment Into the treasury of 15,000 declared to be due the bank as interest on 11.000,000 of United States bonds deposited with the Comptroller against Its note cir culation. This Interest was withheld to cover penalties of $100 a day for the bank's failure to make certain reports. Once paid Into the treasury, only an act of Congress oould get the $5. 000, out and Justice McCoy granted a temporary Injunction on this phase of the case.

IRON A FACTOR IN HEALTH 8clenc? Has Proved That It la Highly Naceatary in tha Production of Rod Blood. Iron shpuld play an Important part In pre pa riii a meals. It Is essential In the making of red corpuscles of the blood and is directly concerned wjth the processes of oxidation and reproduction The Iron of the food enters the cir culation and la deposited mainly In the liver, the epleen and the hone marrow. Iron may be taken aa a medicine and 8tlmulatea the production of hemoglobin and red blood corpueclea. but If la better to get It If poeetbie directly through food and water. The amount of Iron needed appeara to #S varied with different Individuals, depending on tho nature of their work, diet and other conditions, gay* an ex change. Careful experiments havo shown that the average mah under | normal condition* raqulrea about Of- J teen milligram! of Iron per day. The average woman If suppose^ to require about elght tenthi aa much food aa a man and the aama proportion of Iron will suffice. A child that needs half ' aa much food requires the same pro portion of Iron. Aa long aa Infants are drinking milk they, get only a small amount of Iron, 1 but ft Is Interesting to know?abat a certain amount has been stored In tbslr systems at birth to tide them 1 over antil they get a diet that con tains Its share of Iron. Beefsteak and l some vegetables are rich In Iron. In maat the Iron exists largely as hemoglobin, due to the blood con tained tn the muscular tissue. Iron In combination with protein matter Is found In considerable quantity tn grains. String beans, navy dried beans, spinach especially, cabbage and dried peas are rich In Iron. Among the fruits that have plenty of Iron are dried prunes, apples and raisins. Borrowed money soon begins to look like borrowed trouble.
