NEW YORK, n. Y.-Since the re-
markable discovery OF inorganic iron,
Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate,' as the
French call it, has taken the country
by storm. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that over three million people
annually are taking II in this country
alone. Most astonishing results are re-
ported from its use by both physicians
and laymen. So much so that doctors
predict that we shall soon have a new
age Of far more beautiful. rosy-cheek-
ed women ana vigorous iron men.
DR.. Ferdinand King, a New York
Physician and Medical Author, when
interviewed on this subject, said:
There can be no vigorous iron men
without iron. Pallor means anaemia-
Anaemia means iron deficiency. The
skin of anaemic men and women is
pale; the flesh habby. The muscles
lack tone; the brain fags and the
memory fails and often they become
weak, nervous, irritable. Respondent
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood Of women, the roses go
from their cheeks.

lea, the starches, sugars. table syr-
ups, candles, polished rice. white bread,
soda crackers, biscuits. macaroni. spa

silly methods of throwing down the
waste pipe the water in which our
vegetables are cooked, are responsible
fer another grave iron loss.
Therefore, IL 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 Of organic iron, just as you
would use salt when your food has

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
1ess), is much better than the most ex-
pensivc soap or anything. else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
1ather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves It
fine and silky, bright fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap.
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months. +

With some comment coming from

alleged Mrs. De Saulles suffered, the
fact her mind may have been affected
by the heat. will be brought out.
Mrs. De Saulles had just passed
through three of the hottest days in
the history Of New York. She is said
to have suffered sunstroke within
the last few years.
These facts together with the
taking of her four year old son by
De Saulles will be pointed out as the

The law recognizes the defense
of emotional insanity" Miss Pugh
said today. II am convinced Mrs.
De Saulles was woman whose VOL
ent emotions were aroused by the
loss Of her child. The tragedy is an
apparent elimination of series OF
events, sufficient in themselves to
destroy a woman's reason.
Mrs. De Saulles slept late today

ROBERT CASEY
IN ACCIDENT
Fl. Madison Boy Was Returning From

Robert Casey, son Of DR.. and Mrs. J..
M. Casey, and a prominent young man
of this city, had narrow escape
from fatal injury at midnight Satur-
day night when the automobile which
he was driving missed connections
with bridge on the Fort Madison
Montrose road about two and one-half
miles west of the city, and plunged
down a twelve-foot embankment bad
ly damaging the car, says the Fort
Madison Gem City. Mr.. Casey was
thrown clear of the wreckage and
escaped with minor bruises.
According to the story told by the
young man, he was on return trip
from Keokuk where he had spent the
evening. The solitudeness of the
evening and the strenuous activities
of the hours previous, combined with
the slow and tedious drive home,
proved too much of a strain on his
physical endurance and before long
the young man was dosing at the
wheel. His first knowledge OF the &C.
cident came when he felt himself
slipping off into space.
Young Casey fell clear Of the ma
chine and after realizing his fortunate
escape hiked it on foot to Fort Madi-
