NEW YORK, N. Y. - Since the re-
markable discovery of organic iron,
NuXated Iron or Fer NuXate," as the
French call 1t, has taken the country
by storm. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that over three million people
annually are taking 1t in this country
alone. Most astonishing results are
reported from its use by both physi-
clans and laymen. So much so that
doctors predict tAat we shall soon
have a new age of Tar more beautiful.
rosy checked women and vigorous
iron men.
DR.. FERDINAND King. a New York M
Physician and Medical Author, when
interviewed on this subject, said:
There can be no vigorous iron men
without iron. Pallor means anaemia.
Anaemia means iron deficiency. The
skin of anaemic men and women is
pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles
lack tone the brain fags and the
memory, fails and often they become
weak. nervous, irritable. respondent
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood Of women, the roses
go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods of
America, the starches, sugars, table
syrups, candles. polished rice, white
bread. soda crackers, biscuits, maca-
roni, spaghetti. tapioca, sago, farina,
degermlnated cornmeal, no longer is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron of Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
and silly methods of home cookery, by
throwing down the waste pipe the
water in which our vegetables are
cooked, are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore, If you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and yigor to ripe
ticiency in your food by using some
form of organic iron, Just as you
would use salt when your food has
not enough salt"
VIM. r. Kerr, of the City of Chicago,
says: II have taken Nuxated Iron

Germans Stunned by Rapid
Progress of French Attack

With the, French Armies in
France, Oct. 25.-Comparative quiet
has succeeded yesterdays battle. The
Germans, astonished by the rapidity
and extent of the French success
seemed momentarily stunned, but it
is probably that they are engaged
in moving their artillery to the rear.
Prisoners arriving in driblets to-
day appear to have suffered great
privation from lack of supplies dur
ing the French artillery preparations.
The French aviation service is
greatly praised for it's work. During

The removal of civilians from

SENATOR WALCOTT, the junior
senator from Delaware, stands for
several important principles on
which the future Of this government
must 90 forward. and which are i'm
portant for the moral welfare Of all
the people. He stands for the bet
Ter moral standard Of the whole pop
ulation thru absolute prohibition Of
the manufacture or sale OF alcoholic
liquors. He stands for a world de-
mOcracy in government. He stands
for the principles of justice in trade
and all the attendant issues which
touch these subjects. But, Senator
Walcott so far has not stood for equal
justice for all the people in their
electorate rights. He has not align
ed himself with the forward and ire
sistable movement 10 be fair TO the
women OF the United States. which
will give them the right 10 represen-
tation at the elections in all the
states. In view Of the results which
have followed in the New York state
elections which gave the women the
franchise. and the action Of England
and Holland. both Of which have
adopted laws which viii enfranchise
the women Of those countries. the
United States will certainly adopt the
policy Of justice and right to all wo-
men. by giving them an equal right in
he law making Of the state and the 1
nation. Senator Walcott has an op-
lortunity 10 get in the front Of the /
,ause Of right and justice and bring
Delaware 10 the front in another
moral issue Of the nation. In the
.ext campaign, each of the leading
arties should unequivocably place
themselves on record favoring the
nfranchisement Of the women.

THE PRESENT condition Of busi-
ness is a matter for more than ordin-
ary concern to those who are engag-
ed in any kind Of business which re-
requires the employment OF any con-
siderable amount OF labor. The sit
uation is a source of anxiety for most
heads Of manufacturing enterprises,
and in this class is the printing bus
mess. With higher wages has come
a condition which is destroying the
and lessening effectiveness Of
the business management, and the
cause is the lessening interest in their
work by the men and women who are
employed at the increased pay. and
the result is less efficiency, which
Milford chronicle., 1917-12-07

shows plain in the less production as
well as in the lessened standard OF
the work accomplished. Increased
I payrolls, for lessened hours Of ser
vice. with greatly increased cost Of
materials used in the business. have
far outstripped the increase in prices
received for the work accomplished .
A little printed slip from a manufact-
urer which came in our mail this
week represents the experience of
many who are now active in business
in all parts OF the world. and as il is
especially applicable TO the printing
business il is reproduced as follows.

THE SENTINEL at Dover very
timely suggests that farmers must
retain their help thru the winter. and
attempt TO find work which can be
done even during the cold weather
about the farm. inducements should
be offered them to stay on the farm
and work whenever the weather will
permit during these months. It may
be true that on some farms there will
be little to do. but those who have
wood lots can clean them up, taking
out such trees as can be spared; and
those who have orchards can do their
pruning, and in general a large
amount Of work can be done during
these months. Farm hands are en-
titled 10 some vacation, but if they
work every fit day during the winter
they will still have leisure enough for
rest and recreation.

WITH CONGRESS in session again
President Wilson has in his message
made a statement Of the situation in
which this country finds itself after
the few months we have been taking
an active interest in the war. and
asks that Congress declare a state Of
war existing between this country
and Austria, the largest and closest
ally Of Germany. This will undoubt-
edly be acted upon by Congress at an
early date. and possibly Bulgaria and
Turkey will be included in the declar-
alton. President Wilson will receive
the undivided support OF Congress for
the prosecution OF the war, which will
be the greatest war in
which the United States has ever
been involved. This is a great coun-
try, but we VIII find that it takes

IN YOUTH patriotic feelings swell
the hearts Of the people and carry
them TO the front in action. This is
evident in the numbers Of students
who volunteer their services to the
country in all wars and occasion for
the enrolment of men for public de-
fense. This world-war in which the
United States is allied for the prin-
ciples Of democracy. and justice for
all peoples, has drawn heavy from the
enrolment Of the colleges and uni
versities. and our own Delaware Col
lege has sent more than one hundred
Of her students and sons TO the var
ious branches of the army of the
United States. The effort to locate
each Of these men and TO enroll their
names upon the records Of the col
lege. is a work that should be com
pleted accurately, for in the future it
will make a bright page Of history.
