Canadian newspapers were in
structed not to publish reports of the
arrival of 2,700 soldiers with ma
chine guns just across the border
from Niagara Falls. The papers
were also instructed not to publish
the fact that guards at power

Warnings were sent to American

By Lizzie l.. Rath, Aged IA Years,
Route 3, Box II. St. Francis,
Kan. Blue Side,
There was base bail tournament
at St. Francis not long ago and we all
went to see Captain McMillen's flight,
Everybody rushed to the ball grounds,
where Captain McMillen was to make
his first flight. He was to go up
after the ball game, about noon. but
something was wrong and he didn't
go up until after the game in the after
noon. He made two flights Friday
and one Saturday, which was his last
flight.
The captain was interviewed prior
to his start. He stated the conditions
not the most favorable for the flight,
but expressed determination to make
the attempt. Upon leaving the ground
the machine seemed to be swaying
from side to side more than it should,
but took the air better than either of
Captain McMillen's two previous
flights the day before. After reaching
an altitude of perhaps 1000 feet the
plane righted itself and seemed to be
travelling smoothly. Veering little
to the southeast on turning north with
the wind, the captain evidently de-
veloped engine trouble. His exhaust
could be heard and was splitting until
it finally stopped, after which the ma
chine dropped rapidly until it struck a
vacuum. 1t came down so fast, in all
probability, it caused the captain ito
lose consciousness and the machine
was without guiding hand. The ma
chine came down head first. The cap

| am II years old and in the sixth
grade at school. My story will be
about our skunk farm.
Year before last my father received
a letter from man who wanted to
sell some fscentless skunks. And
SO we decided to buy some and have
a skunk farm. We have twenty-three
scentless ones, Some. are broad

pin stripe, some black with white
round spot on their heads and the best
with V shape ON their heads.
They eat anything cat will and
they like raw eggs very well. This

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Since the remark
able discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron
of Fer Nuxate," as the French call it. has
taken the country by storm. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that over five million per-
sons daily are taking it in this country alone.
Most astonishing results are reported from
its use by both physicians 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 vigor-
Gus men.
DR.. King a New York physician and author,
when interviewed on the subject, said
There can be no vigorous iron men without
iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means
iron deficiency. The skin of anemic men
and women is pale. The flesh flabby. The
muscles lack tome the brain flags and the
memory fails and often they become weak.

esses have removed the iron of Mother Earth
from these impoverished foods. and silly
methods of home cookery, by throwing down
the waste pipe the water in which our vege-
tables are cooked. are responsible for an
other grave iron loss.
Therefore. If you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor to ripe old age,
you must supply the iron deficiency in your
food by using some form of organic iron,
Just as you would use salt when your food
has not enough salt"

How Pansy Came.

\. Omaha. Blue Side.
Cupid, the god OF love, was mis-
chievous little fellow. One day he
was walking through heaven and
looked to see if he could findJany mis-
chief to do. When he came to Odin's
chair he sat down and looked over the
earth, but found nothing that inter-
ested him, until he happened to look
into the garden Of rich man,
He saw beautiful maiden hooking
up toward the sky watching the clouds
sail by, Cupid instantly fell in love
with her. She wore lovely velvet
robe of rich purple trimmed in red
velvet Her coat was of yellow velvet
piped in little braids of dotted velvet.
Cupid crept down from the chair
and went to his castle. When he ar
rived there he ordered his servant to
get a few of his belongings ready, as
he was going down to the earth.
When Cupid was ready he got in his
chariot and drove down to the earth.
He went to the rich mans garden and
saw the maiden still looking up at the
sky. He went up to her and said,
Beautiful maiden, have looked upon
you from the heavens and have loved
you. Won't you come back with me
and be my bride?" But the maiden
shrank away and whispered, Marry
you? Oh. no; | could never marry
you" This made Cupid angry and SO
he said, Because you have SO much
pride and love the earth better than
the heavens, | will change you into a
flower" He touched her and Instant
ly she became beautiful pansy. Her
velvet robes had taken their shape in
the petals. And SO to this day you can
see the beautiful face of the maiden
and see her robes, the velvet petals in
the pansy.

WINGED that the lives of thousands of per-
sons might be saved who now die every year
from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kid
ney, liver, heart trouble, etc. The real and
true cause which started their disease was
nothing more nor less than a weakened con-
dition brought on by lack of iron in the
blood.
Not long ago man came to me who was
nearly half century old and asked me to
give him a preliminary examination for life
insurance. l was astonished to find him
with blood pressure of a boy of twenty
and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a
young man in fact, young man he really
was, notwithst landing his age. The secret
he said, was taking iron-Nuxated Iron had

miracle Of vitality and his face beaming with
the buoyancy Of youth. Iron is absolutely
necessary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no mat
ter how much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without doing
you any good. You don't get the strength
out of 1t. and as a consequence you become
weak. pale and sickly looking, just like a
plant trying to grow in soil deficient In
NV "a Sou are hot strohR or Wen, you owe
II 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 how much you have COINED / have seen
dozens OF nervous, rundown people who
were ailing all the while double their strength
and endurance and entirely rid themselves
of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other
troubles in from ten to fourteen days time

doctoring for MONTHS without obtaining any
benefit. But DON'T take the old forms Of
