From the Congressional Directory published by the
United States Government-"Wm Z. Mason, Senator
from Illinois, was elected to the 50th Congress in
to the 51st Congress in 1S91-defeated the Sind
Congress 1s92-Elected Senator the 55th Congress
1897 to 1903"
Senator Mason is now Congressman from the State
of Illinois,
Senator Mason's championship of Pure Food and
Drugs legislation his fight the delivery
system and his strong advocacy all bills favorng
labor and the rights masses as against trusts
and combines made him national figure Washing
ton and endeared him to the hearts Of the working
man and the great masses of people throughout the
United States Senator Mason has the distinction of
peing one OF the really big men of the nation. His
strong endorsement of Nuxated convince any
intelligent thinking reader that it prepara-
ton Of very great merit and which the Senator
reels is bound to be Of great value the
people everywhere otherwise he could afford to
lend his name to it especially after his strong
cacy of pure food and drugs legislation.
Since Nuxated Iron has obtained such an enormous
sale-over three million people using it annually
other iron preparations often recommended as a
substitute for it. The reader should remember that
there Is vast difference between ordinary metallic
iron and the organic iron contained Nuxated Iron
therefore always insist having Nuxated Iron as
recommended by DR.. Howard James. formerly Resi-
dent Physician of New York City Hospital and As
sistant Physician, the Manhattan State Hospital of
New York; DR.. Schuyler c. Jacques, Visiting Surgeon
of St Elzabcths Hospital, New York, and other ply
sicians. In this connection DIR. Howard James says
Iron to be of the slightest value the human sys
tenn must be in a combination which may be easily
assimated In the of metallic salts Of iron, iron
acetate etc. II is very doubtful sufficient actual iron
be taken and incorporated into blood to be
of any service especially in view of the disadvantages
entaed by it's corrosive action upon the stomach

however, deal with iron in organic combination

NEW YORK SUN REVIEW.

New York, April 25.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
In anticipation Of a forward swing
under the impulse of the United States
Steel quarterly report and the action
of the corporations directors in de-
claring an extra dividend of per cent,
which took Wall street by surprise, a
fair volume of buying orders account
lated overnight. The execution of these
orders put in motion a buying move
ment which the short interests were
quick to sense and they promptly hur-
ried to cover, thus accelerating the up.
ward trend in the most active trading
of any session for several days past.
Intervals Of liquidation however, i'm
parted tidal motion to the course of
pricesc. For example, United States
Steel and Utah Copper, which were the
most in demand, opened at moderate
advances, reacted fractionally again
advanced, this time over a point for
Steel and some 3 points for Utah,
yielded at midday and in the afternoon
were up with Steel above 115.

GOVERNMENT ASKED
TO FURNISH SEED

The following is a copy OF the reso-
luton adopted by the city council re-
garding intensified agricultural crop
production:
Whereas, there are only about 80
days to plant foodstuff for which there
is such a demand, we believe the best
means to obtain results is for congress
to temporarily take possession of all
the uncultivated land in government
projects where guarantee is not given.
Seed should be furnished by the gov
eminent, the same to be paid for with
out interest in November We believe
power must be given the proper super
intendent to force all teams Except
fire horses and express teams) tractors
tools and all available equipments into
service, paying current wages. We
would respectfully ask consideration of
the advisability Of taking volunteers
from the militia for 80 days, paying
them current wages plus their salary.
I'VE fully appreciate the debt all
reclamation districts owe the govern
ment, but there are so many poor peo-
pie on the projects that we hope the
government will be able to furnish seed
and act Immediately"
