Ordinary Nuxated Iron viii Make Deli

Stronger in Two Weeks Time
In Many Cases.

New York, n. Y.-Most people foolishly
seem to think they are going to get renewed
health and strength from some stimulating
medicine secret nostrum or narcotic drug,
said DIR. Sauer a specialist of this city,
when, as a matter of fact, real and true
strength can only come from the food you
eat But people often fail to get the
strength out 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 condition they
know something is wrong, but they can't
tell what, so they generally commence doc
toring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble
or symptoms of some other ailment caused
by the lack of iron in the blood. This
thing may go 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 nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two weeks.
Then test your strength again and see for

One hot summer night, a heavy rain
came up suddenly over New York, and
the spectators at the ringside of a
fight in Madison Square garden had to
flee to avoid the downpour through an
open skylight in the roof just above
the roped square.
Billy Gibson, matchmaker for the
Garden, hustled around and got the
skylight closed, and then the fight
went on. It was a rotten fight. At
the end Of the second round a fellow
in the first gallery lifted his voice and
bawled:
Hey, Glib. Git that skylight open

but sit by the cot side and glover at

afraid of him.
When Muriel learned that she was
to 60 home with her father in the
near future she was heartbroken.
Promise me you'll come too, nurse"
she pleaded. And Nurse Winifred, to
save the child a week of h~eartbreak,
promised that she would.
She broke the news to the father
the next day. He only glared at her
morosely. She found herself wonder
ing whether he would know how to
care for the child, whether there were
any women in his family. He was a
maker of stained glass, she had
learned, and lived in two or three
poorly furnished rooms in an unfash-
ionable, rather Bohemian part of the
town. Still, a father has rights. But
Nurse Winifred felt that it would be
scandalous to let the child go to a
home where there would be no woman
to care for it.
Il suppose you will get someone to
look after the child" she suggested.
Il am capable of looking after her."
answered the father.
But you want a woman to care for
her. You can't look after a child

The nurse retired, completely baf-

all day, and cried most of the night.
Then she arrived at her decision.
When the father came she told him
plainly that she was willing to give
up her spare time to the child. She

Kendall the Real Joke.

The State Board of Education of
New Jersey has reversed the decision
OF Calvin N. Kendall, state com
missioner of education, who decided
that two boys who came collarless
to the Merchantville school were not
decently dressed.
Last September a Miss Sarah ].
Rogers sent two boys home because
their mother refused to make them
wear collars, and the local board
and Commissioner Kendall decided
that the teacher was right. Now
the state board decides that the
boys mother was right, and regrets
that the matter should have gotten
into the newspapers.
Instead of deploring the publicity,
they should have welcomed it, and
dismissed both the Rogers woman
and Commissioner Kendall. T h e
former is too observing soul to
travel loose in this world, and the
latter can easily be replaced any day
by any one of thousands of men who
don't wear collars on hot day if
they don't feel like it.
Apparently Kendall is the real
joke.
