NEW YORK, N. Y.-Snce the re- markable discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate" as the French call it, has taken the country by storm. It is conservat1vely estl- mated that over three million people annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from it's use by both phy- scians and laymen. So much so that doctors, predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beau- tiful rosy checked women and viz GGous iron men.
 Dr. Ferdinand King, New York physician and medical author, when interviewed on this subject said: There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means iron defici- ency. The skin of anemic men and women is pale. The flesh fiabby. The muscles lack tone; the brain flags and the memory fails and often they be- come weak, nervous irritable, de- spoadent and melancholy. When the iron goes from tine blood of women, the roses go from their checks.
 >"In the most common foods of Am erica the s.arches sugars, table syrups, candies. polished rice, white bread, soda, crackers, biscuits, mac- ttTOnl, .jDdBctsi, taplOCst, od6o, oiiuss, degerminated 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 70 preserve your youthful vim and vigor to ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form or organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt"
 "FOrmer Health Commissioner, Wm. R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced hts health giving strength building effect and in the interest of the public welfare, l feel it my duty to make known the results of its use. 1 am well past three score years and want, to say that l believe my own great physical activity Is largely due today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron, feel 1t is such a valuable rem cdy that 1t ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country"

THREATENS TO QUIT.
John w. Titcomb Wants Salary as Fish
and Game Commissioner Doubled.

Rumors have been rife in Montpelier
for two days that State Fish and Game
Commissioner John w. Titcomb of Lyn.
donville has resigned but the rumors
were denied by Mr.. Titeomb and at the
executive Office. 1t is expected, however
that on Governor Graham's return from
Springfield Mr.. Titcomb will notify the
executive that he is not a candidate for
reappointment at his present salary of
ST 500 and that he has accepted posi-
ton to supervise the fish hatcheries and
fish culture work of another state at a
salary said to be $4,000 annually. While
the name of the state where Mr.. Tit
comb has accepted the position has not
been made public, it is said to be one of
the largest and wealthiest states not
only of the East but of the entire ma
ton, and to be located near enough to
Vermont so that the commissioner could
easily visit his former home.
II the bill TO increase the salary of the
fish and game commissioner. to $1,000 an
nually becomes law, Mr.. Titcomb will
probably, If reappointed, remain in his
present position. The bill is now in the
hands of the House committee on state
and court expenses, who are not expected
TO report it favorably although an in
crease of $500, bringing the salary to 81
000 may be recommended. Although the
vote of the committee has not been an
nounced, one member has offered to lay
odds of 10 to | that the salary will not
be increased as desired by the present
commissioner.

An Anti-Drug Crusade.

New Hampshire has every reason t.
welcome the federal crusade which has
been undertaken against the illegal sal'
of habit-forming drugs in this state. II
has been apparent for some time that
victims of the drug habit, prevented by
strictly enforced laws of Massachusetts
and other neighboring states from OBJ.
tanning the wherewithal to appease their
unfortunate craving, were coming to New
Hampshire for relief-and finding it
Habitual drug-users in Boston have been
quoted to the effect that they could ac'
quire their fayorite "dope" in New Hamp-
shire when they could not get it any
where else. 1t has been extremely diff
cult for city and state authorities to
erase this stain from the good name of
our states, since practically the only
method of detecting offenders lay in the
discredited and despised "spotter" sys-
tenn.
The federal government, however, has
its own effectual means of getting at
such matters. has list of all drug
licenses, and it can trace with compare
tive ease every internal revenue stamp.
Through the medium of the department
of justice, it has the machinery to do
that very thing-and the machinery is
always at work. Hence the virtual as
surance that the federal crusade just
launched in New Hampshire will be
pushed into the most remote and obscure
recesses of the drug trade throughout the
state, and that persons who are prone to
the weakness of their fell
low mortals by providing them with this
means OF swift degradation will be
brought to justice. That New Hampshire
both state and local, will be
found cooperating TO the limit of their
ability with the federal officers in this
benefcent work is a foregone conclusion.
Not only is it for the interest of New
that she should be relieved OF
the ignominious reputation Of providing
a hsrbor for INSCRIPTIONS drug dealers,
but she owes il to herself TO aid in every
possible way in discouraging the migra-
ton hither of habitual drug and
all this apart from the obvious peril to
BUR own people. especially the younger
element. who might be drawn into the
horrid whirlpool of the drug habit. More

BOOMING THE BIBLE SCHOOL.
Much Interest Shown in Talk BY w. c.
Pearce of Chicago.

| An audience of Barre men, women anC
children who are interested in Sunday
school work, assembled last evening al
the Hedding Methodist church to listen
general secretary, dean of the training
school, and superintendent of the adult
division of the international Sunday
School association, discuss in a most in
teresting manner the methods in build
ing up the Sunday school to-day.
The meeting was opened by prayer Of
fered by Rev. b. j. Lehigh, pastor of the
Baptist church, after which Mr.. Pearce
was introduced by Rev. Charles A. Boyd,
secretary of the State Sunday School
association.
His subject was the organization and
growth of the organized adult Bible
school movement in North America. Mr..
Pearce came to Barre on a tour which
he is making through the six states of
New England, and which carries him
through nine counties in the Green noun
tain state The chief object is to add
100000 men to the enrolment in adult
Bible school classes throughout New
England The speaker opened his re-
marks by telling in very impressive
way that the Sunday school work was
not meant for women and children alone,
and instead of letting the children lead
in this great work, the men ought to
take an interest and become the lead
ers. He said that the women would not
stay away ii men were there. That it
is greater task for women to GO to
church than it is for men was argued by
the speaker, in that men have nothing
to keep them away from church, while
women have their domestic work to do.
He stated that the work is nation
wide, as we'll as directing its courses
throughout the Canadian provinces. As
Mr.. Pearce travels from forty to fifty
thousand miles yearly, covering every
state and province of the United States
and Canada, he has an opportunity to
watch and get an insight into the
growths of the different classes, and he
gave several startling instances of the
vast increases some organizations have !
had since he has been connected with |
The nationwide Sunday school work. In !

The impression that teamwork is the es-
,ential point and in order to get team ,
work, one must first mobilize, by getting |

Bible thus starting organization; and
hat organization is what is most de-
tired, as men OF to-day are looking up
o and working for organized bodies.
After discussing the organization of a
lass. the speaker went on to tell of the
Iandling of successful class, and
ermed such an order as a standard
lass, it having divided leadership. He

NO TIP FROM BOILING.
Broker Connolly Refused to duplicate

", the Washington broker who, on Dec

brokers, an accurate resume of the presi
dents peace note 10 hours before it wa:
published, failed in two and a half hours
of grilling examination by the congress
sional inquisitorisl committee yesterday
to name the exact source of his informa'
ton. However, he specifically exonerated
his partner, R. w Boiling, brother-in'
law of President Wilson, from all blame
for the "leak" on the note.
To the best of his knowledge, Mr.. Con-

gathered in his office and deductions he
had made from a speech he heard Prcsi-
