 PENDERGASTS GREAT RUN
 Some magnificent trapshooting was done in the state championship events, In four states-New. Jersey, Michigan, Ne York and Pennsylvania-the win ner made perfect score. This was the third time in the same number of years that Pendergast made a perfect score in New York. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania it was necessary to make perfect score to win, for the runners-up made 99. Eleven state titles were won with 99 scores, 10 with 9S and eight with 97. There were three ties for the titles at 99, three at 9S and two at 97.
 It was in 1911 that the first records were kept of long runs and in that year 107 shooters bettered 100 straight. In 1912, Ills shooters exceeded 100. In 1913, 135 shooters bettered 100 and 1142 made scores over 50 straight and 12S over 100 straight in 1914 The figures leaped in 1915, when 2243 shoot, CTS bettered 50, 353 ran better than 75 and 195 bettered 100, total of 279t with scores better than 50 straight. In 1916 the figures were 3744, with 300S over 50, 557 over 75 and 2S4 over 100.

 use of organic iron as a tonic,
 strength and blood builder.
 Careful investigation by physicians among drug sists and patients has revealed the fact that there thousands of people taking iron who do not distinguish between organic iron and metallic iron and that such persons often fail obtain the vital energy, strength and endurance which they seek, simply because they have taken the wrong form of iron They seem to think iron is iron on te same theory that potato would be potato whether cooked raw. entirely ignoring the fact that the cooking makes certain important cellular changes in the potato that renders it far more easy of assimilation by the blood and tissues. No one would hardly expect to derive the same strength from eating potatoes that he would from eating cooked potatoes. yet according to the opinions of physicians who have made a careful study of the subject, taking unpre pared metallic iron is good deal like eating raw potatoes.
 Therefore. physicians advise those who feel the need of strength and blood builder to go to their family doct0rs and obtain prescription calling fo- organic hon-N Nuxated Iron-snd present this to i9er druggist 80 thai there may be no question do not wish to go to the trouble of getting d prescription for Nuxated Iron, then be to look on the label and see that the words NUXATED IRON printed thereon.
