Says that Henceforth He Shall Not Be Without 1t

Probably no remedy has ever met
with such phenomenal success as has
Nuxated Iron-Oyer three million peo-
pie annually are taking it in this
country alone, to say nothing of the
vast number who are using il in
France, England, South America and
other countries. 1t has been highly
indorsed and used by former United
States Senators and members of Con-
gress; physicians who have been con-
nected with well-known hospitals
have prescribed and recommended it:
Monsignor Sannini. prominent
Catholic clergyman, recommends 1t to
all members of the Catholic Church.
Former Health Commissioner VIM. r.
Kerr, of Chicago, says it ought to be
used in every hospital and prescribed
by every physician; DR.. N. H. Horn
stine. for ten years connected with
the Department of Public Health and
Charities, of Philadelphia, says the
administration of Nuxated Iron in a
number of stubborn cases where other
tonics had utterly failed, only served
to convince him absolutely of its re-
markable and unusual power; former
First Assistant Postmaster General of
the United States c. P. Grandfield
strongly indorses and recommends it
to the tens of thousands of civil serv-
ice employees who know his name and
signature. Sarah Bernhardt-'the Di-
vine Sarah" the worlds most noted
actress, has ordered a large quantity
sent to the French soldiers to help
give them strength, power and en-
durance.
Former United States Senator VIM.
Z. Mason says the results he obtain
ed from its use in his own case were
so beneficial that he feels it should be
made known to every nervous. run
down man. woman and child. The IA
nous Cyclone" Davis. member of
the Sixty-fourth United States Con-
gress, says the effect of Nuxated Iron
on him was almost magical, that after
taking 1t nothing seemed to tire him
out no matter how strenuous it might
be. DR.. A. ]. Newman. late police
surgeon of the city of Chicago, and
former house surgeon Jefferson Park
Hospital. Chicago, says Nuxated Iron
has proven through his own tests of
it to excel any preparation he has
ever used for creating red blood,
building up the nerves, Strengthening
the muscles and correcting digestive
disorders.
DR.. Schuyler c. Jaques, visiting
surgeon st. Elizabeth's Hospital, New
York, says he has never before rec
commended any remedy to the public,
but that in the case of Nuxated Iron
he would feel he were remiss in his
duty not to mention 1t. Dr. Ferdi-
nand King, New York physician and
medical author, says that in his re-
cent talks to physicians on the grave
and serious consequences of iron de-
ficiency in the blood of American
women he has strongly emphasized
the fact that doctors should prescribe
more organic iron-Nuxated Iron-for
their weak. rundown, nervous, hag-
gard-looking patients.

DR.. E. Sauer. Boston physician
who has studied both in this country
and great European medical institu-
tions. said: "Nuxated Iron is a won
derful remedy. Not long ago a man
came to me- who was nearly half a
century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination for
life insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of a
boy of 20, and as full of vigor,
vim and vitality as a young man; in
fact, a young man he really was, not
withstanding his age. The secret, he
said, was taking iron-Nuxated Iron
had filled him with renewed life. At
80 he was in bad health; an 46 he was
careworn and nearly all in-now at

but it will come. The reward may be
delayed. but 1t will not be denied. The
very fact that Quartus' service. has
beeaA unrecognized here will secure him
recognition hereafter.
The last day has come and all are
gathered before the Judgment seat.
Quartus listens for certain well-known
ones to be called out for special dis
tinction: James, the first to suffer
martyrdom; Barnabas, who gave away
his possessions; Luke. who wrote the
Acts of his Lord; Paul, who blazed a
trail through the heather world. In
stead he hears his own name called,
and answers in surprise, Lord, when
saw Thee hungry and fed Thee? or
athirst, and gave Thee drink? When
saw / Thee a stranger. and took Thee
in? or naked and clothed Thee? or
when saw I Thee sick and in prison,
and came unto Thee?" And the King
answers: 'Inasmuch as you did it
unto one Of these, My brethren, even
these least. you did 1t unto Me-" Quar-
tus won his reward, not by rendering
some great service. but by being q
brother.

Easter Alter has received its reward
but the modest violet that bloomed in
the fence corner for the very Joy
OF blooming will be remembered by
its Creator. The decorated captain
who led the charge has received his
reward, but the private who marched
and fought and marked time and
did sentinel duty and all without
murmurings or questions, has his re-
ward waiting. The rich rabbis, who
dropped their costly gifts into the
treasury and listened to the excla-
nation Of the multitude, have re-
ceived their reward, but the poor
widow who dropped in her mites-all
the living she had-will be singled out
for special honor.
You would stand on the right hand
at the last day? You would enter the
Joy of your Lord? Be faithful. Be
a brother. Be Quartus.

EXCITED ADVANCE
 OF COTTON PRICES.
Better View of International Affairs and Weather Re-
 ports Send Prices Up

New York, May 17.-A more optimistic view of international affairs seemed re- sponsible for increased activity and an excited advance in the cotton market here today. All new crop deliveries made new high records for the season, with December contracts selling at 2Oc. or 54 points above last night close and ap- proximately $4.50 per bale above the low level of Tuesday. That delivery closed at 19.9Sc, and the general list closed very steady at a net advance of % to 53 points Old crop months were relatively easy, and it looked as though some of the old long accounts in July were being trans ferred into later deliveries
 Orders were pretty well divided at the start, and after opening l to points higher, prices eased off slightly owing to the favorable weather map Offerings were very we'll absorbed around last nights closing figures, however, and the market soon turned firmer on covering and Wall street and Liverpool buying On an advance of about 12 points the market met considerable realizing and there were reactions of several points "AouHu Illuudy on the favorable show ing of the detatiled weather reports. But the talk of improvement in crop pros pects failed to inspire any aggressive selling, and an active buying movement developed during the afternoon on the continued strength of the stock market, and reports of a decided improvement in Russia's internal affairs. Stop loss or ders were uncovered on q scale up with July selling at 2o.25c, October at 1889, and March to 20,1Sc, before the close, or 37 to o4 points net higher May was almost neglected, but sold 20 points above last nights final figures. Last prices were at practically the best point of the day large part of the buying on the ad- vance was credited to Wall street and western interests, and the more optim- lstlc View of general conditions was at tributed partly to the smaller amount of tonnage sunk by submarines last week. Early buyers were sellers on the after noon advance, but aside from realizing local brokers said they found few con tracts offering around the ring

Received Over w. E. CampbelPs Private
 Wire).
 New Orleans, May 1.-The cotton mar ket retained it's good tone today, making moderate advances on moderate buying.
 Offerings were restricted and shorts seemed to have about all the commit ments they desired for the time being The news from Russia was decidedly more cheerful, losses of tonnage this last week were far below expectations, and weather conditions did not show the inn provement which should have been seen Some rather optimistic statements were made regarding temperatures in the early part of the session, but the weather bureau stated that outside of Oklahoma and Texas the weather was still colder than the normal The forecast prom ised little change in temperatures
 Private crop accounts were bullish as ever in tenor and it begins to appear al most certain that this coming week the market will be forced to discount an unfavorable report on condition down to May 2 Even with the best of weather, there is not sufficient time for weeks Of unfavorable conditions to be offset.
 There is better feeling in the spot deuartment and any further improvement in this direction will quickly be reflected in the contract market.
 We advise purchases on any dips from pl esent levels.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, May 17.-Wheat slid rapidly downward in value today. hurried by re- ports that the United States government European allies to relinquish immense holdings of board of trade future de- livery wheat contracts purchased here and in other leading domestic grain cen ters. At the furtherest point of the break, prices were off as much as 16 cents but something of a reaction followed and the close. although unsettled, was at cents to il cents net decline, with July at $219 and September at s1.99 Other leading staples all shared in the setback, corn finishing cent to PA cents down. oats lower. 9s cents to % cents and provisions 121b6I15c to 55c.
 Bearish response of the wheat market to assertions of contemplated huge re- selling on the part of foreigners was in- stantaneous Open sales ran all the way from 7c to Is cents under yesterdays latest figures, and it was not until the last hour of the session that even slightly better prices could be obtained than were current at the outset.
 Announcement of a renewed embargo on wheat by Argentina seemed to count a little in helping prices to recover some what Crop conditions, however, were decidedly in favor of the bears. Besides, the arbitrary curtailment of trading privileges was still notable factor. Corn and oats were governed mainly by their necessary relation to wheat and by fay orable crop conditions. Big recent ex ports estimated at 1,500,000 bushels acted as a prop though to some extent for both of the feed grains.
 Houses with foreign connections were conspicuous on the selling side of pro- visions. Declines which ensued brought out fairly liberal buying for packers.
