Nuxated Iron Makes Strong
Vigorous, Iron Men and Beautiful
Healthy Rosy Checked Women
DR.. Howard James, late of the
Manhattan State Hospital of
New York md formerly Assist

Hospital, says:

Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to chance food into
living tissue. Without it, no matter
how much or what you eat, your food

the strength out of 1t, and as a conse-
quence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking. just like a plant trying
to grow in soil deficient in iron. A
patient of mine remarked to me (afteI
having been on six weeks course OF
Nuxated Iron), 'Sny, Doctor, that there

IF you are not strong or we'll you

or how far YOU can walk without be-

tablets of nuXeted iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. From my own

OUR BOYS AT THE FRONT

The following tribute to the spirit
Of the boys who are "off to the 'front.'
and to their mothers, wives, sweet
hearts and friends, so accurately re-
fleets the feeling here in st. Francois
county that we reprint it in its en-
tirety from the Piedmont Banner:
The Banner finds much that is low
able in the people during this tense
time of preparation for-we know not
what.
The fine spirit of the young men,
the fortitude of the fathers whose sons
are going to war, the holy calm of the
mothers, the absence of all hysteria-
these are symptoms that never ap-
peared before with any people or in
any war.
Could self-restrafnt be possible in
any country other than America? Is
it not product of the years of educa-
ton and enlightenment that have gone
before?
The war is less than six months old
for US; yet no town, nor village, nor
rural settlement in Wayne county but
has already sent some of it's bravest
and best manhood to the training
camps.
And now, these other boys, our Ma
tional Army quota, are leaving US.
We know them, how noble and SPLEEN
did they have been all their lives, and
we are sure that no other community
in Uncle Sans dominions could pos
sibly send finer boys than ours.
Yet we are making no great commo-
ton about our gifts to the nation.
We are burning no Roman fires. We
are releasing no spread-eagle oratory.
With us there has been very little
weeping, and absolutely no buster
and no heroics.
This calmncss of the people means
something. 1t means that deep in the
hearts of those who are sending their
hottest offspring to the altar of ma
tons, is quiet, almost subconscious
determination their sacrifice shall not
be in vain.
There is no anger yet toward Ger
many-only a resolute spirit of get
ting ready for battle-a telling of
sons good bye without much tear
shedding. Yet there is weeping in
the silences of the heart, and there are
mute prayers in those solitudes of self
where only God reigns.
The anger will flame up later, if
casualty lists begin coming in with our
boys names heralded there as victims
of mad Kings dream of world en-
pire.
And that divine anger which will
then sweep over Missouri and all
America, volcanic in its fervor, will
mean the overthrow of many a
throne, and the burning up of many
sham institution that helped to make
this thing possible.
In that moment Americans will
know, at last, that they are in this
war to win.

UNITED STATES BONDS


The United States Government is
sues bonds in two forms: ~ Bearer
bonds with interest coupons attached,
commonly called coupon bonds; ~
bonds registered both as to principal
and interest. Liberty Loan Bonds are
issued in both bearer and coupon
forms.
Bearer or Coupon Bonds.
A bearer or coupon bond is payable
to the bearer, the holder, the title
passing by delivery. The Treasury
Department does not require proof of
ownership when such bonds are pre-
scented for payment or exchange, the
holder thereof being recognized. Such
bonds may be bought and sold with
out formality and without indorse-
ments of any kind. Attached to bear
err bonds are sheets of coupons or cer-
tifcates of interest. One of these
coupons becomes que each interest
payment date and should be detached
by the owner of the bond and cashed
at his bank or presented to a Treas
ury Office for payment.
Registered Bonds.
A registered bond is payable only
to it's owner or his order, and can be
transferred only by being properly
endorsed and assigned by the owner.
The bond has inscribed on the face of
it the name of the owner or payee,
and such fact is recorded on the books
of the Treasury Department against
the particular bond indicated. The
change in ownership Of registered
bond is effected by the original payee
indorsing and assigning the bond, US
ing the form on the back thereof in
accordance with the regulations of the
Treasury Department. Such assign
ment must be made before an officer
designated by the Treasury Depart
ment, and such officer must certify
thereto and affix his official seal. The
officers who are authorized to witness
assignments are indicated in a note
printed on the back of the bond. Gen
orally speaking, certain judicial and
Treasury officers and executive Off
GERS of Federal Reserve and National
Banks are authorized to witness as
signments.
When the owner of a registered
bond disposes Of it and has properly
assigned it, it should be forwarded at
once to the Secretary of the Treasury
for transfer on the books of the De-
partment. The bond so forwarded is
cancelled and new bond in the name
of the new owner is issued and sent to
the new owner by registered mail.
The interest on registered bonds is
paid by means of checks drawn by the
Secretary of the Treasury on the
Treasury of the United States, such
checks being issued on the day inter,
est is due. They are sent by mail to
the owners of the bonds.

FOR THE GIRL WHO WISHES
TO TAKE A COURSE
IN TRAINED NURSING

If a girl thinks she is patriotic she
can show it in no better way than by
taking a course in nursing.
Her most important requisites are
good health, moral character, and
a natural talent and love for the work
Without these no girl need undertake
the training.
Possessing these qualifications and
at least a good common school edu-
cation, the next step will be to Sc
lect the hospital which should not be
a city hospital as they are run with
an eye to economy in the nursing
force as we'll as in many other things,
so there will be much more work Tor
each nurse than in other hospitals
Also every disease known to medi-
cal science is treated in the city hos
pitfalls, while in many hospitals no
contagious diseases are treated.
When the hospital is chosen a re-
quest for application sheets should be
sent to the superintendent. These
should be carefully filled out and re-
turned. If approved the applicant is
placed on the waiting list and will have
to wait until notified, which may be
several months, weeks or days.
While waiting she should get four
print or bingham dresses and make
in simple style with neat collars and
cuffs, which may be of white if de-
sired, and about six plain white ap-
rons, also one street dress. Too much
stress cannot be placed on procuring
well fitting, low rubber heel shoes. 1t
will be best to get two pairs so that
the feet may be rested by changing
shoes. A shoe that binds the least
bit or is too loose will cause untold
misery in the way of corns and bum
ions. If the prospective nurse never
used her feet before she certainly
will be compelled to do so now. She
may suit her own taste and pocket
book in the quality and quantity of
Undertaking.
After the two months of probation
airy work is ended the hospital will
direct in purchasing the uniform.
During the probationary period,
board, washing and ironing are free.
After being accepted a small wage
is paid each month, increasing a lit
tie the second and third year.
A respectful, pleasing obedience to
all who have their training in charge
will certainly be a great help in win
ming the goal.
If she sees anything out Of order or
going wrong she should keep her
own counsel and report Immediately
to the chief nurse or superintendent,
Notwithstanding she may have been
told by the nurse she is working un-
der that it is not her duty to make
reports. The chief nurse or superin-
tendent will be grateful for any real
information from a probationer as
well as anyone else.
Having the proper qualifications and
following the above named rules it
is not possible to fail.

DON'T WRITE DUMDUM LET
TIERS TO YOUR SOLDIER

Mother! Sweetheart! Sister! Here's
new way to "do your Bit, equally
as important as knitting gray wool
socks for the recruits or cutting brand
ages for the Red Cross:
Write a cheerful letter to your SOL
der!
Having its origin at Chickamauga,
the South's greatest rehabilitation
center, this vogue (for it has found
favor, much as the American god
mother to the French soldier fad),
is bounding into popular favor. 1t is
accelerated by these advantages-it is
based on facts, it strikes at an imper-
ative need, and obtains obvious re-
suits.
The facts are these: Fully 80 per
cent of the letters received by the ar
my men convey, instead Of good cheer,
tale of petty woes and imaginary
grief.
There's a vacant chair at the ia
BILE, George"
"Poor sisters gone to work to help
support us since you went away"
GLOW we need your strong, broad
shoulders to help US bear the burden" "
Mother is sick. Father sprained
his little finger, and poor little Johnny
is down with the measles"
These are the typical dumdum let
tiers to boys in camp. Ninety per cent
of them are better left unopened. And
herefrom springs the new service.
"Shield the boy from the trifing
cares and worries of home," urge the
officers. "Tell him how proud you are
of him, how fine you know he is doing,
how happy you all are.
Soldiers, like schoolboys, particu-
larly the young ones that are out in
the world alone for the first time,
look forward to letters from home
with eagerness," said a veteran ma
jor. "If they carry a morbid tone, he
Immediately imbibes it, drinks it to
the dregs and broods. Either that, or,
as with some dispositions, he becomes
reckless and careless.
"On the other hand, a CHEEKY letter
encourages him and sends him forth
with a will to lick a regiment single
handed.
EITHER way the effect is contagi-
GUS
"Despondent, the trooper is reduc-
ed to one-half efficiency. His spirit
spreads to the squad, to the company.
He becomes discouraged and dissatis-
fled with the service. Gloom letters
are responsible for more than half of
the assertions"
So it is that the Importance of a
troopers mail is recognized by army
officers far and wide, and at Chicka-
manga the new chit" is set in motion.
1t has already gone so far that stu
dents at the officers training camp
are receiving daily epistles, even from
the fair ones they do not know, each
carrying a little inset of joy. The re-
suit is general cheerfulness and thor
ough endeavor throughout the camp.
Write a cheerful letter to your SOL
der" is the slogan.-EXchange.

SAVED S25, 100000 FOR HEIRS

In 1916 at least S25,O00,O00 belong
ing to this country's widows and min
ors was saved from swindlers by
bonding companies which had become
surety upon the bonds Of Administra-
tors, Executors and Guardians.
An estimate to this effect, based on
National Surety Company records,
has been made public by Oscar L.
Halle & Co., the company's local
agents.
Some remarkable frauds were pre-
vented last year by the vigilance of
surety companies.
Fascinated by foreign fnancier,
wealthy widow was prevented by a
surety company from investing $685.
900 estate in the bonds of a South
American republic which soon after
repudiated its debt.
Grossly deceived by a promoter,
another widow was saved from sink
ing her $4,000 inheritance in certain
oil wells which have never been known
to flow.
Deluded by bogus Registers Office
seals and stamps, third bereaved
woman was kept from investing her
$4,000 heritage in real estate to
which the dishonest salesman had no
title.
Swindlers have even been found to
be following Surrogate Court pro-
ceedings in order to obtain the names
and addresses of heirs who seemed
easy to victimize.
Many fraudulent heirs and claim
ants have also been discovered and
dealt with by the surety companies.
Estates worth $10,000,000,000 are
being protected by surety companies
in the United States today.

Once, upon an evening dreary,
Sat an editor, world weary.
BY warming blaze whose CHEEKY
Sparkles failed to reach his soul.
Every ounce of force expended
On the gruelling DAY just ended,
Imply sat he, nor attended
To the cracking of the coal,
To the suffering blaze cracking
Of the too-eXpensive coal.
Long he sat there, never stirring,
Hearing nothing but the whirring
Wings of dead dreams oft recurring
Like old ghosts to haunt his brain.
For his head was aching, aching,
And his every nerve was shaking
And he knew that ne was breaking,
Breaking down beneath the strain.
Meath the cruel, fierce unending
Torture of the daily strain.
Thus he passed the hours, unheeding
How the time was speeding, speeding
And his presses, gluttons, feeding,
Would be crying out for more.
Thus his good wife found him sitting
When she sped her home from knit
ting,
From the tireless band Quitting
Soldiers on a distant shore;
On a devastated, ravaged,
Goddess, greed-denuded shore.
whats the cause of this depression?
Tell me quickly, for expression
Will relieve your gloom. Repression
Only makes the matter worse.
Turn the lights onl Poke the fire;
What if coal is going higher!
Let's have cheer or we'll expire.
You're as gloomy as a hearse,
AS a drear, dark, crepe-enshrouded,
Toward the graveyard creeping
hearse."
Reused to words, the lonely sitter
Thus replied in accents bitter:
"God forgive me for a gutter,
But l know that l am through.
All the weary years of striving
| have borne the driving, driving,
For the ultimate arriving,
For a dream that can't come true;
For an empty, vain deluding
Dream that never can come true.
"Many men have clambered DER me,
Going up to fame before me,
And no gratitude they bore me
Though they drained me of my all.
But you've never heard me grumble
Of my lot, obscure and humble;
For above the workday's rumble
| have ever heard the call,
Heard the sweet, seductive music,
Heard the Turing of the call"
AS he spoke his head sank lower.
"But tonight my heart is sore,
For | know that nevermore
Will that music lure me on.
Fame has been too long in coming,
