Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make De- licate, Nervous, Rundown People 100 Per Cent Stronger in Two Weeks
 Time in Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.,-Most people f0olishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, se- cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said Dr. F.. Sauer, Boston Physician
 who has studied widely both in this
 country and in great Europeon Insti-
 tutions, when, as a matter of fact, reat
 and true strength can only come from the food you eat. But people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can't tell what so they generally com melce doctoring for stomach liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may SC on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong or we'll you owe it to yourself to make can work or how far you can walk without 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 for yourself how much you have gained. l have seen dozens of nervous rundown peo- pie who were ailing all the while
 double and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid ot all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen

Dull Place For Soldiers

COREu-The little Greek island of Fano near here has become known to the Entente fleets and armies as a place where women are forbidden to talk The island has normally a popu- iation of 1924 persons, but most of the men are in the United States where they work as walters.
 The custom of the island for many years has been for the young men to marry the girl they love best and then, after brief honeymoon, go to Amer ica to make their fortunes, returning in a few years to their brides. During this period of the absence of the hus- band, it has become a custom for their wives, women traditional for their beauty, never to talk to men. It is the business of the older women tc watch over the young wives, and when strange men approach, as has happen ed frequently since the war, they are met with shower of. stones.

As q warning to all persons who contemplate losing themselves when the exemption boards are looking for them the attorney generals office has issued the following warning. which IS made public by the United States at forney. It reads:
 Tt will be of great value in securing prompt response to the notices sent out by the local boards for you to give the widest publicity through the press and otherwise, to the following infor ma tIon. It has been determined by the Provost Marshal General that persons .who fail to appear for their physical examination after having received their notices to do so from the local boards, by such failure, waive their right to physical examination and are accepted by the board without such examination. Their names will be certified to the district boards as chosen by the local boards for the Ma tional Army. If they do not then ap- pear to claim exemptions. they will waive thereby, the right to such ex- emptions as trey might have claimed
 and their names will be certified by the district boards to the adjutant- general of their respective states as persons for the National Army. The adjutant- general will then mail them a notice to report for duty at speci- fled time and place. and such notices will be given publicity according to the regulations of the Con sfcip.iCn Act. .

File. Disrupt Phone Communications

EUGENE Ore.-Mountain flies went to sleep in the generator of the tele> phone of forest ranger recently and caused no end of trouble. A timber fire was discovered by the mountain lookout and it was necessary for him to arouse the pesky things before the blaze could be reported.
 It had been an unusually cold night on Prairie mountain and emergency linemen discovered that the insects had crawled into the generator of the telephone in an endcavor to keep warm By instinct, or something, flies from afar sensed the cosy sleeping place and swarmed in the generator. The boy acted as trap and the accumula- ton of flies eventually put the instru- ment out of commission.

days time simply by taking iron in the proper forms, and this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of re- duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simpy to save 9 few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuXated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply be- cause he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.
 Note.-NuAated Iron recommended above by pr. F.. Sauer, is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Un- like the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not njure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run down conditions. The Manufacturers have such great conf dence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable Institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks time pro- vidcd they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days time. It is dispensed in this city by Lomen Bros. successors to Butler Mauro & Co.,, and all good druggists.
