and thereby the lives of thousands
might be saved who now die every

cause which started their diseases
was, nothing more nor less than a
weakened condition brought on by
lack of iron in the blood.
Not long ago q man came to me
who was nearly half a century old
and asked me to give him a prelimi-
nary examination for life insurance.
| was astonished to find him with
as full of vigor. vim and vitality as
a young man: in fact young man
he really was Notwithstanding his
age. The secret, he said, was taking
iron-nuXated iron had filled him with
renewed life. At 80 he was in bad
health; at 46 he was careworn and
nearly all in-now at so, after taking
NuXated Iron, miracle of vitality
ana his face beaming with the buoy
ancy of youth.
Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food into
living tissue. Without ii, no matter
how much or what you eat. your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good and as a conse-
quence you become weak, pale and
sickly-looking, just like a plant try
ing to grow in a soil deficient in iron.
II you are not strong or well you owe
1t to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or
now 1ar you can walk with
out becoming tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals, for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you
have gained. I have seen dozens of
nervous, rundown people who were
ailing all the while double their
strength and endurance and entirely
rid themselves of all symptoms OF
dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in
from ten to fourteen days time sim
ply by taking iron in the proper form.
And this after they had in some cases
been doctoring for months without
obtaining any benefit. But don't take
the old forms of reduced iron, iron
acetate or tincture of iron simply to
save few cents. The iron demanded
by Mother Nature for the red color
ing matter in the blood of her chill
dren is. alas. not that kind of iron.
You must take iron In a form that
can be easily absorbed and assimilat-
ed to do you any good, otherwise ii
may prove worse than useless. Many

the day simply because he knew the
secret of great strength and endur-
ance and filled his blood with iron
before he went into the affray; while
many another has gone down In in

IZAAK WALTON DAY
FORLOCAL ANGLERS:
FISH ON THURSDAY

Anglers throughout America will
this week honor Izaak Walton's S
birthday. Thursday, August 8, is
the anniversary of Honest Izaak's"
birth. He first saw the light of day
in the parish of st. Mary's, at STAFF
ford, England. in 1853.
There will be no special observ-
ance in Harrisburg, but many vet
eran anglers in this city and vicin-
ity, always manage to be busy with
rod and line on August 8. The
American Anglers League of New
York has arranged for a special
celebration.
History of Izaak
Walton was buried in the floor
Of Prior Silkstede's Chapel in the
Cathedral, in Winchester, England
where also rest Jane Austen, novel
ist; King Egbert, Kink Canute, King
Edmund, and other ancient rulers
and famous personages.
The Rev. DIR. Preston-Joy of the
Cathedral sent out in 1912 an ap-
peal for subscriptions to a memor-

An unusual incident occurred dur
ing one of the matches on Saturday.
One OF the players was having hard
luck in his driving and while at No.
tee he drove his first ball into the
shrubbery to the left while his sec
ond ball was topped and both the
players and caddies were unable to
see just where it fell. After con-
siderable searching it was finally
discovered firmly wedged between
two branches of a small tree, and
as it would have been impossible to
play it from such a lie, 1t had to be
knocked down with a loss of stroke.
One of the most interesting tour
naments held at Reservoir will start
this week, when thirty-two players
compete for the Fred B. Harry cup.
This event is very popular with the
members of the club as it is hand
leap affair where the dub has just
as much chance as the scratch play
ers. Mr.. Harry donates a cup each
year to the winner of this event, the
last one being won by X. E. Rich
ards. Mr.. Harry is an ardent golf
enthusiast and one of the most pop
ular players who comes to Reservoir
Park it being through his courtesy
that so much interest is being taken
in these matches. The drawings for
the first week are as follows:

PERSHING'S MEN TO
TEST GAS MASKS

any gas likely to be encountered in
the front-line trenches.
1t is a most important branch of
the modern training of a soldier that
he should be convinced that there are
many methods of effectively dealing
with the deadliest terrors of latter
day warfare; that careless. slovenly
and unheeding soldiers are the ones
first to succumb. 1t is demonstrated
to the soldiers that the terrifying
liquid fire can be avoided except in
most extraordinary circumstances,
such as being caught in a tunnel or
in dugout with the enemy in such
position that he can pour flames
through the entrances.
In training the American regarding
gas, the greatest weight is to be laid
on demonstrating to each man the
value of his protective appliance and
in seeing that he is fully instructed
in it's proper use. He will be made
to realize. however, that only by skill
full and rapid adjustment of the mask
can protection be assured. and that
it shall be a daily task with him to
see that his appliance is in good con-
dition. Fit must be assured, for 9TH
erwise the gas penetrates through
every small hole and attacks the eyes
and mouth so that in a short time
the man is put out of action.
Ten Seconds Limit
Lectures on gas are being arranged
first for the officers, then for the men
for in gas training officers have to go
through identical drills and experi-
ences. Ten seconds will be the out
side limit allowed for the adjustment
of helmets after the gas alarm has
been sounded. The increasing use
of gas shells even from the longest
range guns makes the carrying of
masks far back of the line an impera-
tive military necessity.
The first traces of gas poisoning
are a hot mouth and irritated throat.
Despite proof that the allies have so
often produced to the contrary and
the terrible deaths allied soldiers died

Housewives Called Upon
to Preserve Bumper Crop

Washington, Aug. 7. - President
Wilson's patriotic appeal to the coun-
try's farmers and gardeners having
been answered with bumper crops, it
fs now up to consumers to do their
share by conserving perishable foods,
according to a statement issued by
secretary Houston to-day.
Il urge not only that every home
assist in the conservation of surplus
perishable fruits and vegetables by
canning, preserving, picking, drying
and storing, but also that every ex-
perienced woman place her knowledge
at the disposal of her neighbors."
To that end it is specifically recon-
mended that women call their organi-
cations together for discussion of
conservation work. that demonstra-
tions in canning and preserving be
given and that they cooperate with
food officials.
