New York, \. Y.-It is conservatively
estimated that over three million penple
annually in this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing. results
have been reported from its both by
doctors and laymen. that a number of
physicians in various parts of the country
have been asked to explain why they
prescribe it SO extensively. and why it ap-
parently produces so much better results
than were obtained from the old forms of
inorganic iron.

Iron is absolutely necessary to enable

or what you eat. your food merely passes

Help Your City Gro1U

The billiards that are sweeping
the north and west are sending shrill
messages even as far south as Pensa-
cola, and today many flowers that
We're blossoming have been laid low
and many early gardens have been
nipped by the frost.
And for this reason, it is more
than ever necessary that every PEN
sacolian who takes a pride in the city
should lend his aid to the home and
garden contest, which is to make of
Pensacola a city beautiful.
But one month remains to enter this
contest. Send your names in at once,
and be one of the progressive men,
or women or children, to do your
part in making Pensacola the city of
beauty that it so easily might be,
and will be, if all lend their influence
to this movement.
For it must be remembered that the
prizes to be offered and the increased
beauty of the home are not the only
gains in the city beautiful contest.
Not only will each home be made
fairer and sweeter, but Pensacola as
whole will be a fairer and a sweete1
place in which to live.
It is not necessary to have a large
yard or a pretentious garden. A
little plot of ground, if it is carefully
tended, viii lhave just as good chance
to win a prize as the large garden
where the entire time of hired mar
| is consumed in caring for the flow
ers or vegetables.

as to meet every difference in OF
