INVENTOR OF ZEPPELIN
A|RSH|P PASSES AWAY
Count Zeppelin Died Thursday
at His Home in
Germany
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON March Count Zeppelin
is dead, according to a dispatch from
Berlin, received by Reuters Telegram
company. According to a Berlin tele-
gram transmitted by Reuters AmsteI
dam correspondent. Count Zeppelin died
Thursday at Charlottenburg, near Ser
lin, from inflammation of the lungs.
Count Ferdinand Zeppelin became ia
nous at the age of 20 as the builder of
the worlds first practical dirigible bal
loon. on his 18TH birthday he navigated
his Goth airship TO celebrate the occa-
sion. But before he had achieved tame
he had devoted a half century of his
life. exhausted his personal fortune of
$75O,0OO and sacrificed a brilliant ca
reer as a German cavalry leader in
conquering the ar.
Emperor William recently proclaimed
Count Zeppelin to be 1.-The greatest Ger
man of the twentieth century" AS a
token of appreciation he conferred upon
him the exalted order of the Black Ea-
gle. the highest honor in the emperor's
power.
1t was in the United States that Count
Zeppelin made his first balloon asceu-
sion. 1t occurred while he was follow
ing General Carl Shurz i'm the civil war
army. captive balloon in use for mill
itary observations by union troops
greatly interested the young German
officer, and he was taken up in it in
1863.
He electrified a skeptical world N
1908 by staying aloft for 81 hours in
the fifth airship he had built. and by
sailing it in a straight course for dis
lance of nearly 900 miles. Emperor
William. and all Germany, in fact, hailed
him as "the conqueror of the air"
The morning newspapers print long
obituaries of Count Zeppelin, whose ca
reer is reviewed in most instances dis
passionately and in some cases with
tributes to his patriotism and persever-
ance. Justice is done by the writers to
the remarkable development of the Yep
pelin airship as a travelling machine. al
though the achievements in aerial nav
igation associated with Count Zeppelin's
name are ascribed TO his engineers rath-
er than to himself.
The reputed ambition of Count Yep
pelin to lay London in ruin and his al
legged confidence in the ability of his
machines to achieve this object are re-
called, while failure to realize such an
ambition is regarded by some of the
writer's as a sufficient ground on which
to base the statement that Zeppelin's
career of strange vicissitudes ended in
dissolution and defeat at one of the
lowest points i'm his fluctuating for
tunes. His least appreciative commen-
tator says:
His chief feat is that he killed or
wounded 1900 British citizens, mostly
noncombatants, by disloyal means ami
gave Germany her greatest disappoint-
ment of the war"
The vituperative vein, however. is in
conspicuous in most of the reviews. in
one OF them it is contended that Count
Zeppelin realized his ambitions to an
extraordinary degree and that with the
help of his engineers he developed a
machine which is unique in some re-
spects and which since the. war ex-
ploded the fallacy that the giant rigid
airships are useless

New York, y. VT is conservatively
estimate ted that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from it's use both by
doctors and laymen that number OF
physicians in various parts of the coun-
try have been asked to explain why they
prescribe it so extensively, and why ii
apparently produces so much better re-
suits than were obtained from the old
forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below: y
DR.. King. a New York physician and
author, says: 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 fiabby. The muscles
lack tone, the brain flags and the memory

choly. When the iron goes from the
blood of women, the roses go from their

In the most common foods of America
the starches. sugars, table syrups' can
dies polished rice. white bread, soda
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti
tapioca, sage, farina, degerminated corn
meal, no longer is iron to be found. Re-
f1ning 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
water in which our vegetables are cooked
is responsible for another 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.
Dr.. f. Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied widely in both this country
and in prominent European Medical In
situations says: LAS l have said hun
dred times over, organic iron is the
greatest of all strength builders. If peo-
pie would only throw away habit-form-
ing drugs and nauseous connections and
take Nuxated Iron. l am convinced that
the lives of thousands of persons mighS
be saved who now die every year from
pneumonia. grippe, consumption kidney,
liver and heart troubles, etc. The real
and true cause which started their dis
eases was nothing more nor less than a
weakened condition brought on by lack
of iron in the blood.

was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary eXamna-
