FIND PARALLEL.
IN ELECTION
Not Since 1875 Has Voting Been as
Close, Iowa History Pro-
fessor Declares.

Not for forty years-since the
memorable election Of 1S76-has the
presidential election been as close
as the one just ended" declares DR..
Louis Pelzer, professor of history at
the State university.
The election of 1876 was not
settled until March, nearly four
months after the bailoting, and the
Intense excitement and feeling sub
sided only with the inauguration of
Rutherford Il. Hayes on March 4,
l277.
Newspapers on the morning after
the election in 1876 generally con-
coded the victory to Tilden. In that
year New York gave it's electoral
votes to the minority candidate. But
In every election since that time up
to 1916 New YoIk's great block Of
electoral votes has been cast on the
winning side.
Not since the two administra-
tons of Andrew Jackson, 1S29-1S37,
has any democratic president had
the privilege Of serving two consecu-
tive terms. Since the election of Lin
coin in 1861 there have been twelve
presidents. And in the period of fifty
six years ending next March there
have been but twelve years of demo

Mummefied Remains Of Unidentified

Several physicians have examined
it and declare it is the first mummi-

for the temperature in this part or
the country together with the humid

instead of harden. The spot where
the body was found is seldom visited,
and then only by duck hunters.

Nature for the red coloring matter In
the blood OF her children is. alas. not
that kind of iron. You must take iron
in form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated to do you any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than
useless. Many an athlete and prize-
fighter has won the day simply be-
cause he knew the secret of strength
and endurance and filled his blood
with iron before he went into the af-
fray; while many another has gone

as I ordinarily do not believe in 1t.
But in the case Of Nuxated Iron I feel
would be remiss in my duty not to

and given it to my patients with most
surprising and satisfactory results.
And those who wish quickly to i'm

and wonderfully effective remedy.
NOTE--Nuxated Iron, which is pre-
scribed and recommended above by
physicians in such great variety or
cases, is not a patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but one which is well
known TO druggists and whose ire;t
constituents are widely prescribed by
eminent physicians both in Europe
and America. Unlike the older inor-
ganic iron products, it is easily assinli-
lated, does not injure the teeth. make
them black. nor upset the stomach;
on the contrary. it is most potent
remedy in nearly all forms of indiges-
ton as well as for nervous, rundown
conditions. The manufacturers have
such great confidence in nuxated iron,
that they offer to forfeit $4,000 to
any charitable institution If they cam

Comb;ng Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
if not all, of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the. work.

Discovery in

NEW YORK, N. Y-Since the re-
markable discovery OF organic iron,
Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate," as the
French call 1t. has taken the country
by storm. 1t is conservatively esti.
mated that over five million persons
daily are taking it in this country
alone. Most astonishing results are
reported from it's use by both physi-
clans and laymen. So much so that
well-known doctors predict that we
shall soon have new age of far
more beautiful. rosy-cheeked women
and vigorous men. ....
DR.. King, a New York physician
and author. when interviewed on the
subject, said: There can be no Wig
orous iron men without iron. Pallor
means anemia. Anenia means iron
deficiency. The skin of anemic men
and women is pale. The flesh flabby.
The muscles lack tone; the brain Tags
and the memory fails and often they
become weak, nervous, irritable, des-
pendent and melancholy. When the
iron goes from the blood Of women,
the roses go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods Of
Am erica, the starches, sugars, table
syrups. candies. polished rice, white
bread. soda crackers, biscuits, mac
aroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina,
degerminated cornmeal. no longer is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron of Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
and silly methods of home cookery, by
throwing down the waste pipe the wa.
ter in which our vegetables are
cooked, are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore If you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
old age, you must supply the iron def
cheney in your food by using some
form or organic iron, just as you
would use salt when your food has not
enough salt"
Dr. Sauer, one Of the most widely
known physicians in this country,
who has studied abroad in great Euro
pean medical institutions, said: "As l
have said a hundred times over, or
ganics iron is the greatest OF all
strength builders. If people would
only throw away patent medicines and
nauseous connections and take simple
nuxated iron, am convinced that the
