What every soldier most needs is
tremendous stay there" strength,
power and endurance, with nerves of
steel and blood of iron. To produce
this result, there is nothing in my
experience which i have found so
valuable as organic iron-Nuxated
Iron. says DIR. ii. b. Vail, formerly
Physician in the Baltimore Hospital
and Medical Examiner. A large
quantity of this valuable product
was sent to the French soldiers by
Nine. Sarah Bernhard. l took NuA-
ated Iron myself TO build me up aft
er a serious case of nervous exhaus-
tion. The effects were apparent
after few days and within three
weeks 1T had virtually revitalized
my whole system and put me in a
superb physical condition.
If General Gibson's advice were
followed and every soldier who goes
70 the front carried a package of
Nuxated Iron In his kit, | am sure
that the men would not only be bet
ter, stronger fighters, but that we
would have far less sickness in the
Army and much less work for the
Red Cross and Army Hospitals to
do. Time and again | have pre-
scribed organic iron--Nuxated Iron
and surprised patients at the
rapidity with which the weakness
and general debility We're replaced
by a renewed Keeling or strength
and vitality.
General Horatio Gates Gibson
says Nuxated Iron has brought back
to him in good measure that old
buoyancy and energy that filled his
veins i'm 1S47 when he made his tri-
umphant entry with General Scott
into the city of Mexico and that he
attributes the fact that he Is hale
and hearty in his 91st year, after an
active military life with service In
both the Mexican and Civil Wars
largely to his recent use of this
Wonderful product.

RUSSIAN CZAR ADVOCATES
Gar Nicholas Abdicates and Grand
Grand Duke Michael Becomes
Regent.

Petrograd.- The emperor of Russia
has abdicated, and Grand Duke Mi
chael Alexandrovitch, his younger
brother, has been named as regent.
The Russian ministry, charged with
corruption and incompetence, has been
swept out of office One minister,
Alexander Protopopoff, head of the in
terror department, has been killed, and
the other ministers, as well as the
president of the imperial council, are
under arrest.
A new national cabinet is announc-
ed with Prince Lvoff as president OF
the council and premier, and the other
offices held by men who are close to
Russian people.
For several days Petrograd has been
the scene of one of the most remark
able risings in history. Beginning with
minor food riots and labor strikes, the
cry for food reached the hearts of the
soldiers, and one by one the regiments
rebelled, until finally those troops that
had for a time stood loyal to the gov
ernment took up their arms and
marched into the ranks of the revolu-
tionists.
The president of the duma, Michael
V. Dodzianko, was the leading figure
among the deputies who unanimously
decided to oppose the imperial order
for dissolution Of the house. They
continued their sessions, and NJ. Rod
zianko informed the emperor, then at
the front, that the hour had struck
when the will Of the people must pre-
vail.
The emperor fastened back from
the front, only to find that the revolu-
tion had been successful, and that a
new government was in control. The
empress, who, it is alleged has been
influential in the councils opposed to
the wishes of the people, is reported to
have fled or to be in hiding.
