Astonishing Power of Iron
to Give Strength to Broken
Down Nervous People

iron three times per day after meals
for two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see for yourself how much
you have gained. l have seen dozens
of nervous, rundown people who were
ailing all the time double, and even
triple in strength and endurance 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 obtain
ing 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 strengthened and the best
blood builder in the world. The only
trouble was that the old forms of inor.
ganic 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
newer forms OF organic iron all this
has been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for
example, is pleasant to take, does not
injure the teeth and is almost imme-
diately beneficial.
NOTE-The manufacturers of Nux-
ated Iron have such unbounded conf
dence in its potency that they author
ize the announcement that they will
forfeit $4,000 to any Charitable Insti.
tuition if they cannot take any man or
woman under sixty who lacks iron and
increase their strength 200 per cent or
ever 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. It is dispensed in this city

HAVE PURE BLOOD
Hoods SarsaparilIa Makes Pure. Rich
Red Blood.

Your heart works night and day
without pause. 1t is the principle or
gan of the circulation of your blood.
1t is of the utmost Importance that it
should do its work well. The quail
ity and quantity of your blood have
much to do with it's action. If this
fluid is pure and abundant, your heart
and other vital organs act with more
energy than when it is defective in
quality or deficient in quantity.

reliable medicine, that has been sold
for forty years, for purifying the blood

Folk 200 Per Cent. in 7 Wo

NEW YORK. n. Yin recent dis
course DR.. E. Sauer, a well-known
specialist who has studied widely IN
both this country and Europe, said:
"If YOU were to make an actual blood
test on all people who are i'll you
would probably be greatly astonlshed
at the exceedingly large number VINO
lack iron and who are i'll for no other
reason than the lack Of iron. The mo-
ment iron is supplied all their multi
tude of dangerous symptoms d1sap-
pear. Without iron the blood at once
loses the power to change food into l1v-
ing tissue. and therefore nothing you
eat does you any good; you don't get
the strength out of it. Your food mere
" passes through your system like
corn through mill with the rollers so
wide apart that the mill can't grind.
AS a. result of this continuous blood
and nerve starvation. people become
generally weakened, nervous and all
run down, and frequently develop all
sorts of conditions. One is too thin;
another is burdened with unhealthy
fat: some are so weak they can hardly
walk; some think they have dyspep-

but all lack physical power and endur-
ance In such cases it is worse than
foolishness to take stimulating medi-
cines or narcotic drugs, which only
whip up your tagging vital powers for
the moment, maybe at the expense Of
your life later on. No matter what
any one tells you, if you are not strong
and we'll 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

crater's bottom, Captain saw there
more than a dozen frightfully wound
ed Germans, gasping for water and
several already dead from their SUI
ferings.
Trying to draw away, he answered
the German captain who had called
to him, saying that he did not wish
to kill them, that he could not do it
IN cold blood.
Then the Teuton Captain, his right
arm hanging in sfs,eds, chung to him
in despairation. He must kill them,
in Gods mercy he must. The hole
IN which they lay was not exposed to
the fire of the combatants, but the
Germans would never again attempt
the desperate charge in which they
had lost so heavily the afternoon be-
fore, and the French couId not move
from their impregable position. 1t
meant that he and all his men would
lie there until they died from thirst
or their wounds.
Captain \ mopped the clammy
sweat from his brow and thought of
the awful torture these men, enemies
though they were, must endure, and
then, deciding instantly, ordered his
man to carry the Lieutenant on his
back to the French lines and return
with as many hand grenades as he
could carry.
For nearly an hour he lay beside
the top of the crater, with only the
occasionally scream of a shell over
head to drown out the groans of the
Germans.
Then the Zouave returned, and with
muttering prayer they threw the
grenades down into the heap of Ger
mans until the last cries were stilled.

WEATHER NOTES
By Geo. I. Nixon, Observer, Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin.

The week ending July Is was the
most favorable of the season over
much of the central and north portion
OF the country, and all agricultural
operations made rapid progress. In
the corn-growing states cultivation
proceeded with little interruption and
the fields are now generally in fine
condition. The crop has also shown
considerable improvement in the nor
thern districts, where growth has been
much delayed by unreasonable wea-
Their.
In few sections the soil is becom-
ing dry, and rain would be beneficial.
At Grand Rapids, no rain has fallen
since July 1. Cranberries are in bloom
The feature of the week was the
tropical storm from the Gulf Of Mexi-
co, north-eastward into the south At
lantic states. This storm caused hea-
Wy rainfall and easterly gales.
As it approached the coast the wind
reached velocity of 40 miles an
hour. The rainfall from this tropical
storm was very heavy, especially in
Alabama. During 48 hour period
the rainfall at certain cotton region
stations in Alabama averaged eight
inches. At Clanton, Ala, it was 16.8
inches and a few stations measured
20 inches
Maximum temperatures were higher
than 80 in almost all parts of the
Mississippi Valley and to westward.
At Yuma, Arizona, a temperature of
115 was recorded.
Dallas, Texas, is reveling in a cool
wave with temperature below 70.
Heavy rain fell in the upper Wisconsin
Valley Friday night. Wausau record
ed 1.85 inches, and Merrill 1877 inches.

land farmers residing about three
miles east of Grand Rapids and their
son Verne came in Sunday morning
to spend Sunday as the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. G. J. Bose. They attended
church and spent the day and in the
evening Mr.. Boso, drove Mr.. Rowland
out to his place to do the chores while
the rest of the family remained in the
city. 1t was understood that Verne
Rowland, their son, was to bring the
horse and buggy down to the church
where the evening services were held.
Isabel Boso got in the carriage and as
Verne was unhitching the horse from
the tie post an automobile came along
and frightened the horse and he ran
away down Baker street turning on
Eighth and was running south. As
he passed L. Mathis house, Claire Ma
this and Walter Fluegel. of Pekin, III.
who were seated on the porch saw the
horse go by with the child in the rig.
They got into Clare's auto and fol-
lowed the runaway horse, and drove
along side of him about two blocks
on Oak street on Eighth when Wal
ter Fleugel grabbed the lines and got
into the buggy and stopped the horse
This act was cleverly done and who
knows but what it might have saved
the child's life as she was riding in
the buggy and at the mercy of the run
ming horse. The young men are to
be congratulated in the rescue and re-
ceived the thanks of the parents of
the child.
