State House Chat

1t is denied by those who know that
the next addition In the efficiency line at
the State House will be the installation
of compressed air whistle to sound the
opening and closing hours, hence we has
ten to relieve the anxiety of one of the
popular clerks-not a girl nor on the sec
ond, third or fourth floors. But-there
can be seen a very fine illustration Of one
in the catalogue issued by the same COM
pany that supplied the time clocks. If you
care to investigate. call on Supt. Brown.
1t is also not true that the members OF
the Highway Commission staff have been
ordered to respond hereafter to numbers.
That tag with a number on 1t is only the
scheme Of one of the boys in the drafting
room to remember their clock numbers
until they become fixed in each ones
mind, and not decoration, although
worn suspended around the neck and con-
spicuous on account of its size.

there seems to be a desire or negligence
to evade the law in regard to having all
animals. over six months of age. which
they sell tuberculin tested before they are
delivered to the purchaser and . transfer
made through the livestock sanitary COM
missioners department. Many buyers do
blood animals over six months Of age OF
Maine breeders that these animals must
be tuberculin tested before delivery. un-
less such a test has been carried out
under the directions of the livestock san
itary commissioner within one year OF
the sale. The law reads as follows: Sec
ton II Up. L. 1917. Chap. 25): That all
persons selling pure blood cattle, or cattle
represented to be pure blooded, for breed
ing purposes, shall, before delivery, make
a report to the livestock sanitary COM
missioner, upon blanks furnished by him
upon application, stating the number of
cattle sold. the age and sex and to whom
sold. and before delivery thereof such
cattle shall be tested with the tuberculin
under the direction of, and a certificate
Of health given by the livestock sanitary
commissioner. unless such test has been
carried out under the direction within one
year; but this provision shall not apply
to calves less than six months old. Such
certificate of health shall be delivered to
the buyer by the seller. Whoever vio-
lates any provisions OF this section shan
be punished by fine not less than SIS
or more than $50 for each offense."
Some breeders claim that many Of their
Il o~ty> ~
Is tuberculin tested or not. but the law is
imperative that they shall be tested II
over six months Of age.
Under the cooperative free method Of
testing the work is going ahead at a
rapid pace and those who have had their
herds cleaned up should be very careful
in buying a registered pure blood that it
comes from a tuberculin tested herd

SUCCESSFUL PLAYER
HAS SEEN ADVERSELY
Louis Mann Was Member of a
Stranded Company.

Like most successful players, Louis
Mann has had his share Of adversely.
At one time in his early career. he
was a member of a company that
also included Cyril Maude and E. H.
Southern, and this now distinguished
trio of theatrical celebrities. who
today are not only eminent, but
wealthy men as well, one bright
morning found themselves with their
fellow players, stranded. Mr.. Mann
confesses he has done his share of
transforming, and he uses the word
literally, not in the sense applicable
to the company playing the very
smaller communities, but to a COM
pany that went from place to place
where theaters were almost unknown.
the performances actually being
given in barns, and often the players,
before the time to portray their var
ions roles had to carry lumber to the
building temporarily comandeared for
Thespian temple and erected the
stage that later they were to tread.
Among the creditable things Mr..
Mann has done for the American
stage was the discovery and partial
development of the two exceedingly
fine actresses-Elsie Ferguson, and
Emily Ann Wellman. Both had their
early training under Mr.. Mann's di-
rection and they attribute much of
their success to his fine dictatorship.

SAYS that Henceforth He Shall Not Be Without 1t

Probably no remedy has ever met
with such phenomenal success as has
Nuxated Iron-Over three million peo-
pie annually are taking 1t in this
country alone. to say nothing OF the
vast number who are using 1t In
France, England, South America and
other countries. II 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 Nannini. a prominent
Catholic clergyman, recommends II 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 q
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. Grandfleld
strongly indorses and recommends 1t
to the tens of thousands Of civil serv-
ice employees who know his name and
signature. Sarah Bernhardt-"the Dr.
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.
e. Mason says the results he obtain
ed from its use in his own case were
so beneficial that he feels II 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 II 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
1t 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. Jacques, 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, hsg-
gsrd-lcoking patients.
