made at the capitol that $53S,000 is
now available in state trust funds,
with which to fill applications for loans
and that the total probably will ap-

ment board meets

Why the Applause.

1t was his first play, and he was as
nervous as man sitting in a dentists
chair while the dentist is laying out
the instruments he intends to use.
After the curtain had rung down on
the second act there was long ST.
lence. Then came a wild outburst of
applause.
"Hooray" cried the playwright,
dancing a hilarious jig behind the
scenes.
"What are you hooraying about?''
asked the leading man.
'My play. It's success. Don't you
hear the applauseT
Certainly hear it, but it isn't for
your play. They're applauding be-
cause the manager just announced that
your piece will be taken off tomorrow
night to make way for new musical
comedy by the author Of ''The Girl
From Piffleburg."

He Saw Napoleon in Russia.

The war correspondent Of the Wen

records that while passing through Vol
hynia he met villager of Karpilovka
who saw Napoleon on his way to Mos
cow in 1912. The man had recently
celebrated his Observation-Disclosures

his longevity so remarkable is that he

SPECIAL NOTE.-Dr. E. Sauer, a WELL
known physician who has studied widely
in both this country and Europe, has been
specially employed to make a thorough
great strength, power and endurance OF
Jess Willard, and the marvellous value Of
nuxated iron as strength builder.
NEW YORK.-Upon being inter-
viewed at his apartment in the Colon
ial Hotel, Mr.. Willard said: eyes,
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 I have often TAX
en- nNxated 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 I am sure that I should never have
been able to whip Jack Johnson so
completely and easily as I 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 ruxated iron to restore
strength and vitality even in most COM
plicated chronic conditions
Not long ago man came 10 me who
was nearly half a century old, and
asked ne to give him a preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was
astonished to find him with the blood
pressure of boy of 20 and as full of
vigor, vim and vitality as young man
in fact, a young man he really was,
Notwithstanding his age. The secret
he said was taking iron-nuxated irCn
had filled him with renewed life. At
80 he was in bad health; at 4e care
worn and nearly all in. Now at SO a
miracle Of vitality and his face BEAM
ing with the buoyancy of youth. AS I
have said hundred times over iron
is the greatest Of all strength builders.
If people would only throw away pat
ent medicines and nauseous concoc-
tons and take simple nuxated iron,
am convinced that the lives of thous-
ands Of persons might be saved who
low die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, consumption. kidney. liver and
heart trouble. etc. The real and true

BURN TWO PULLMANS

The American Film Company, Inc,
paid $4,000 for the Pullman cars
that are burned up after the sensa-
tional wreck scene in 1.-THE Sequel
to the Diamond from the Sky"
A, new Pullman car costs $4,000,
and it represents about the last word
in car construction, aside from a few
of the royal palaces on wheels con-
structed for private owners in this
country and for royalty abroad, but
what caused the sale Of two high
class Pullman coaches for motion
ton picture uses, was the fact that
they were wooden cars.
OF course a steel car Is of no use
for train wreck purposes in motion
picture work. The spectacularity
of burning wreck would be lost
completely in case steel cars were
tossed into the ditch. The steel car
will buckle and twist but it will not
burn.
