Ordinary Nuxated Iron VIII Make
Delicate, Nervous, Rundown PeO-
pie 200 Per Cent. Stronger In
Two Weeks Time In Many


NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
foolishly seem to think they are
going to get renewed health and
strength from some stimulating
medicine, secret nostrums or
narcotic drug. said DR.. Sauer, well
known Specialist who has studied
widely both in this country and
Europe, 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 1t to change food into
living matter. From their weaken
ed nervous condition they know
something is wrong but they can't
tell what, so they generally COM
menee doetorIng for stomach, liver
or kidney trouble or symptoms of
some other ailment caused by the
lack of iron I'm the blood. This thing
may go on for years, while the pa
tient suffers untold agony If you
are not strong Or well. you owe 1t
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 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 gain

run down people who were ailing
all the while, double their strength
and endurance and entirely get rid

In Wednesdays article
showed you where the ma
tiOnal income of $46,00O,-
OOO,0GO COMES FROM. An
even mere important ques-
ton is WHO GETS 1T?
The first big question is:
What do the wage and salary
earners get--the millions of work
ers who primarily produce the ma
tons wealth?
There are 24,000,O00 of them,
and with their families. they con-
stitute TWO-THIRDS of the total
population, yet their aggregate in
comes are only s15,000,000, 600
less than ONE-THIRD of the ma
tional income.
The farmers, including owners
and tenants, get about "a ,000,-
600, 000-less than ONE-FIFTH
of the total, after deducting in
terest and taxes.
The lawyers, doctors and other
professional men, who derive their
incomes from fees, receive about
$900,000,000.
The other $26,000,000,000 OF
national income-more than 90
per cent-goes to the bankers,
merchants, manufacturers and
property owners.
We lack the necessary data
upon which to base even an ap-
proximate division among these
various classes, but we know that
the bulk Of it goes to stock and
bondholders, and that only COM
parative small part to the indi-
viduals who conduct their own
private businesses.
Except in a few lines, the in
dependent small business man is
practically extinct. Look, for eX'
ample at manufacturing, where as
long age as 1909 EIGHTY PER
CENT of all products were made
by corporations!
Even in retail trade, the last
stronghold of the small business
| man, enormous inroads have al
ready been made by the depart
ment store and the chain store. y
WHO OWNS THESE COR.
PORATiONS? There are
hundreds of thousands of
stock and bondholders, many
of whom are salaried people
and few even wage earners,
but the holdings of the ma
jority are relatively insignifi-
cant.

Gen Obregon admitted lie

absolute control Is concen-
trated in the hands of a few
thousand multi-millionaiie
fully one-half of whom live
ON that little nub of rock
known as Manhattan island.
There lis a fiction industriously
circulated that the stocks, partic-
ularly of the great corporations,
are very widely distributed.
The United States Steel corpor-
alton, with more than 100000
stockholders, is always cited az
the supreme example of this dem
ocratic" ownership. Very we'll.
Let us look at the steel trust.
You don't have to take my
word, for in 1911 the steel trust
filed as an exhibit in the 'disso-
luton suit" table showing ex-
actly how it's stock was distribu-
ted.
At that time the corporation
claimed 100,343 stockholders, 3d.
230 owning common stock and
Go, lib preferred stock.
Take the common stock first
there were just 1868 stockhold-
ers with 1000 shares and over,
but they owned $35S,946,000, or
10 per cent of the common stock,
while the 22,799 holders of less
than 25 shares owned only 4 per
cent.
Similarly, only ASP holders of
more than 100 shares of preferred
stock held 3S per cent, while the
1915 holders of less than %
shares owned only II per cent.
Taking all the steel trust stock,
common and preferred together
less than ONE-AND-A-HALF PER
CENT of the 100000 stockhold-
ers OWNED FIFTY-SEVEN PER
CENT Of all the stock.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May L..
The burden of further nego-
tiations regarding the presence
of American troops in Mexico has
been thrown on Carranza. The
cabinet threshed out Carranza' S
latest demands and it is expected
there will be no reply to the de-
facto head.
1t is believed the troops will
not be dithdrawn until the Dor
der is considered absolutely safe.
Officials have little faith that

WHY CHILLY WEATHER
: + BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores are closed and
uric acid remains
in blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should cat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue. exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water. .
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
means of freeing the blood of this
inpurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and ~ muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast.~eacl morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles. @~~sst
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matlsm.. Here you have a pleasant ef-
fervescent lithia- water drink which
overconres uric acid and is beneficial to
your kidneys as. well. sH -. ..-

Mr.. Carmody's judgment, have any
influence upon this selection? lis it
possible that all good motive, all hon.
esty of purpose, is confined within

and his supporteds join issue. State
ments against performances recon-
mend Judge Carmody as comedian
or a hypocrite.
While those democrats supporting
Mr.. Perry in this contest have only
reverence for old age and respect
for this fearless exponent of demo-
cratic principles, they sadly deplore
and firmly resent the advantage he
seeks in employing seniority as a
basis to tear down the party he has
so long professed to sustain. Pro

pany gray hairs, while senility and
self-righteousness are yet to be class
