American Manufacturer Explains How
Machines Made by His Company
HurdIed Teuton Trenches, Walk
Through Forests and CrawIed
Over She'll Craters.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The British
tanks the armored motor cars used
in recent assaults on German trench
es in northern France SO successfully
as to attract worldwide attention,
were built for the most part in I'LL
nois, in the form Of caterpillar trac-
tors, designed many years before the
war began to meet some of the diff
ficult problems of modern farming.
Except for their armor, their machine
guns and their crews, thousands like
th0n are in use today in the United
States, in blowing, digging bitches and
other labors less heroic than war.
Sold 1000 to British.
NJ NJ Baker, of the manufacturing
company, explained here that it was
machines made by his company that
bad hurdled German trenches, walk
ed through forests and crawled over
shell craters in the face of intense
gun fire.
eve have sold about 1000 catorpil-
lar tractors to the British govern
ment," said Mr.. Baker. eve have
had nothing to do with putting armoT
on them, or placing machine guns, but
some of our men at Aldershot, Eng.
land, recently were notified that the
British government intended to armor
some Of the tractors and use them for
work other than the usual towing OF
big guns.
Sent Some to Germany.
Germany had some of these trac.
tors before the war began, and al.
though I do not understand just how
it occurred, / believe she may have
received others since then. We have
sent some to France and some to
Russia. So far as | know, up until
the recent appearance of the motor
cars the tractors were used only to
two big guns

Ordinary Nuxated Iron VIII Make DEL
icate, Nervous, Rundown People
200 Per Cent. Stronger in TWO
Weeks Time in Many Gases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-MOst people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, Sc
cret nOstrum or narcotic drug, said
DR.. Sauer, well-known Specialist who
has studied widely both in this coun-
try and Europe, when, as a matter
of fact, real and true strength can only
come from the food you eat. But peo-
pie often fail to get the strength cut
of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable
it to change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condi-
ton they know something is wrong
but they can't tell what, so they gener-
ally commence dOctOring for stomach,
liver or kidney trouble or symptoms
of some other ailment caused by the
lack of iron in the blood. This thing
may 60 on for years, while the patient
suffers untold agony. If 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 ordinary
nuxatcd iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much yon have gained. / have
seen dozens of nervous, rundown peO-
pie who were ailing al the while,
double their strength aid endurance

Iron is Greatest of All Strength
Builders, Says Doctor
Secret of the Great Endurance and Pouuer of Athletes

and entirely get rid Of all symptoms
Of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles
in from ten to fourteen days time
simply by taking iron in the proper
form. And this after they had in
some cases been doctOring for months
without obtaining any benefit. But
don't take the old forms of reduced
iron, iron acetate or tincture Of iron
simply to save few cents. You must
take iron in a form that can be easi-
ly absorbed and assimilated like nux-
ated iron if you want it to do you any
good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. Many an athlete or
priZe-fghter has won the day simply
because he knew the secret Of great
strength and endurance and filed his
blood with iron before he went into
the affray, while many another has
gone down to inglOrious defeat simply
for the lack of iron.
NOTE-Nuxated Iron recommended
above by DR.. Sauer is not patent medt-
cine nor secret remedy; but one which i -
constituents is widely prescribed by emf
nent physicians eVeryWh1 re. Unlike the
oloer inorganic IRON prOuoctS, IL lS easily
assimilated, does not injure the teeth
make them black, nor upset the stomach;
on the contrary, it is a most potent reme-
dy, in nearly all forms OF Indigestion, an
well as for nervous, rundown conditions.
The manufacturers have such great con-
fidence in NuXated Iron that they offer
to forfeit $4,000 to any charitable insti-
tuition if they cannot take any man or
woman under 60 who lacks iron aE1 sG-
crease their strength 200 per cent or
over in four weeks time provided they
have no serious organic trouble. They
also offer to refund your money If it does
not at least double your strength and
endurance in ten days time. IT is dis
pensed by most druggists IF your drug
gist or general store is without a supply,
ask them to set it for you.-Adv.

GOLD is FLOWING TO AMERICA
Millions Sent TO Europe by United
States Before the War.

Paris, Sept. 19.-Max Hoschiller, in
an article in the Temps contrasts Am
erica's financial position now in re-
spect to foreign countries with what it
was before the war. The article says:
Then the United States was send
ing to Europe from $2OO,0O0,000 to
S900,000000 in interest on it's borrow
iDgs; $15O,000,O GOO to 5000, O0O,O00 spent
by tourists; $1OO,OOO,O 600 to $15O,OO0,-
600 to expatriates, and $20,000,000 to
S40,000,000 in ocean freights.
Since the war the United States
has imported $730,000,000 in gold and
has paid back a considerable amount
of its previous borrowings. The dol
lar now has replaced to a considera-
bic extent the old sovereignty of the
English pound abroad"

LEWIS DEFENDS DEMOCRACY

CAMPAIGN IN MINNESOTA.
Reviews Accomplishments of Admin
istration Since 1t Came Into Power
Following 1912 Election.

Minneapolis, Sept. 10. - Hamilton
nesota Democratic campaign at the
Pence auditorium.
After reviewing the conditions
which had obtained through long years
of Republican rule and which had re-
suited in the organization of the Pro
gressive party in the attempt to purge
the nation of it's curses. the speaker
briefly summed up the conditions OF
peace and prosperity, justice and gen.
eral welfare, which he said are the
rule today.
Discusses Tariff Question.
Senator Lewis then launched into a
review of the accomplishments of the
Democratic administration since it
came into power following the 1912
election.
Touching first on the tariff question,
attention was called to the result of
the European war on trade conditions,
particularly as regard imports. How
ever, "the Democratic tariff measure
produced in round measures" he said,
1926, 100000 more revenue in 1915, the
only partial peace period the present
administration enjoyed, than was pro-
duced under the Payne-Aldrich bill in
the complete peace period of 1872"
important Laws Enacted.
Next the creation of the Federal
Trade commission, provided to prevent
inequality in business was cited.
And this was followed by reference
to the Federal Reserve bank law. Both
of these, said Senator Lewis, were &C.
complishments of the present admins
tration. Then followed a query as to
any announced determination on the
part Of Judges Hughes, or his follow
ers, to repeal any of these measures.
Other accomplishments of the admin
istration to which special attention
was called included the farm loan bill,
the federal ship insurance and the es-
Enlistment of United States mer.
chant marine.
