The moment iron is supplied all their

loses the power to change food into liy-

eat does you any good; you don't get

dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble !;
some can't sleep at night, others are
sleepy and tired all day; some fussy

SHORT BALLOT is APPROVED
New Form Designed by Secretary Of

New Form Designed by Secretary Of
State Only 20 Inches Long.
st. Paul.-The shortest presidential
and state ballot in the history of Min
nesota and possibly in the United
States, has been approved as to form
by Secretary of State Schmahl. The
printing of 100000 copies has been
started. Samples Of these ballots to-
gether with those on amendments co
the state constitution have been mail
ed to county auditors for posting, as
required by law.
The new ballot will be 20 inches
long, compared with the 52-inch ballot
of four years ago. The shortening is
accomplished in the arrangement of
the candidates for presidential cleo
torates, as designed by Secretary
Schmahl, and this change it is esti-
mated will save the state from $500
to $1,000 in expenses of the general
election November Z.

Doctor Says Nuxated Iron Will
Increase Strength of Delicate
People 2OO% in Ten Days

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 nux-
ated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. 1 have
seen dozens of nervous, rundown peo-
pie who were ailing all the time double,
and even triple their strength and en-
durance and entirely get rid of their
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.
You can talk as you please about all
the wonders wrought by new remedies,
but when you come down to hard facts
there is nothing like good old iron to
put color in your cheeks and good
sound, healthy flesh on your bones. 1t
is also a great nerve and stomach
Strengthener and the best blood builder
in the world. The only trouble was
that the old forms of inorganic iron
like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc,
often ruined peoples teeth, upset their
stomachs and were not assimilated and
for these reasons they frequently did
more harm than good. But with the
discovery of the snewer forms of Or
ganic iron all this has been overcome.
Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant
to take, does not injure the teeth and
is almost Immediately beneficial.
NOTE-The manufacturers Of Nuxated
Iron have such unbounded confidence in
its potency that they authorize the an
nouncement that they will forfeit 500. 90
to any Charitable Institution IL they can
not take any man or woman under sixty
who lacks iron and increase their strength
200 per cent or over in four weeks time,
provided they have no serious organic
trouble. Also they will refund your
money in any case in which Nuxated Iron
does not at least double your strength in
ten days time. 1t is dispensed by most
druggists. If your druggist or general
store is without a supply. ask them to
get it for you.-Adv.

Linoleum Out of Carpet.

Clean the carpet thoroughly, then turn it worn side down and tack. It will be better to tack it right on the kitchen floor if you could get along without the kitchen for a few days. Otherwise, tack on some floor that will not have to be used every day. Then put on coat of any good floor paint, let dry thoroughly. finish with a coat of good linoleum varnish. This will give you floor covering that will be very easy on your feet, and i'm pervious to water so long as the paint lasts And the worn spots can be re- painted as needed. This will, of course, give paint color. After the paint and varnish have thoroughly dried the carpet can be rolled very carefully and loosely to move it to the kitchen, but the best way is to paint it right in the kitchen so that it will not have to be moved, for the rolling is liable to crack the paint and so make it less impervious to water.- Ohio Farmer.
