specially employed to make a thorough
Investigation into the real secret of the
great strength, power and endurance of
Jess Willard, and the marvellous value Of
nuxated iron as a strength builder.
NEW YORK.-Upon being inter-
viewed at his apartment in the Colon
ial Hotel, Mr.. Willard said: "Yes, I
have a chemist with me to study the
value of different foods and products
as to their power to produce great
strength and endurance, both Of which
are so necessary in the prize ring. On
his recommendation have often TAX
en- nuxated iron and have particular
ly advocated the free use of iron by
all those who wish to obtain great
physical and mental power. Without
it am sure that I should never have
been able to whip Jack Johnson SO
completely and easily as did, and
while training for my fight with Frank
Moran I regularly took nuxated iron,
and I am certain that it was a most
important factor in my winning the
fight so easily" Continuing, DR.. Sauer
said: 'Mr. Wizards case is only one
of hundreds which I could cite from
my own personal experience which
proves conclusively the astonishing
power Of nuxs:ed iron to restore
strength and vitality even in most COM
Not long ago man came to me who
was nearly half a century old, and
asked me to give him preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was

Notwithstanding his age. The secret
he said was taking iron-nuxated iron

miracle of vitality and his face BEAM

have said hundred times over iron
is the greatest of all strength builders.
IF people would only throw away pat

tons and take simple nuxated iron, I
am convinced that the lives Of thous-

now die every year from pneumonia,

 The German government, there fore, considers herself from this time in war with the Portuguese govern ment," is the conclusion of a declara. tion handed by the German minister at Lisbon to the Portuguese minister, the Overseas statement says.
 "The German declaration" says the news agency, emphasizes the fact that this step was made necessary by the recent Illegal seizures of German ships in Portuguese ports, which is the gravest sort of breach of neutral. ity and of special treaties. Germany. therefore. is obliged to give up her former attitude of forbearance, which she had maintained because of Portu- gals awkward situation.
 "The declaration enumerates long series of breaches of neutrality by the Portuguese government, such as the permission or free passage to English troops through the colony of Mozam- bique, the permission given to Eng fish men of war to use Portuguese ports for a time exceeding that given neutrals; the permission given the English navy to use Madeira as a naval; actual engagements between Portuguese and German troops on the frontier of German Southwest Africa and Angola; frequent insults to the German nation by members of the Portuguese Parliament, who never were reprimanded.
 The declaration further points out that the seizure of German ships in neutral Portuguese ports on February 23 was an act against the law and the treaties concluded between Germany and Portugal"
