been especially enthusiastic in their
endorsement of this plan. Messages

NEW YORK. y. Y. = Since the re-
markaoIe discovery OF organic IRON,
Euxated Iron or Fer NuXate' as the

ed that over three million people annu-
ally are taking IL in this country alone.
from its use by both physicians and lay
men. So much so that doctors predict
far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked wo-
men and vigorous iron men.
DR.. Ferdinand King, a New York Ply
sician and Medical Author, when inter-
viewed on this subject, said: There
can be no vigorous iron men without
iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia
anaemic men and women is pale; the
flesh fiabby. The muscles lack tone;
the brain fags and the memory fails
and often they become weak. nervous,
irritable, despondent and melancholy.
When the iron goes from the. blood of
women. the roses go from their cheeks:
America, the starches, sugars table
syrups, candies, polished rice, white
bread. soda crackers, biscuits. macaroni.
spaghetti. tapiocs. sago, farina, deger-
minated cornmeal, no longer is iron to
be found. Refining processes have re-
moved the iron of Mother Earth from
methods Of hong cookery. by throwing
down the waste pipe the water in which
our vegetables are cooked, are respon-
sible for another grave iron loss.
Therefore, If you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
old age, you must supply the iron defi-
cheney in your food by using some form
of organic iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt"
DR.. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied both in this country and
in great European medical institutions
said: "As 1 have said hundred times
over, organic iron is the greatest of all
strength builders. If people would only
take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak
or rundown. instead of dosing them
selves with habit-forming drugs, stimu-
lants and alcoholic beverages am con-

than a weakened condition brought on
by lack of iron in the blood.

STATES WAR FUND PROBLEM
STILL REMAINS UNSOLVED

The question of who shall handle
the war funds of the State remained
undecided last night after long con-
ference between Governor Brum-
baugh and Senators McNichol. Crow,
Sproul and and C. A. Snyder. Until
some decision is reached no action will
be taken on the bills introduced in
the Legislature last week appropriate
ing S2,000,000 for defensive purposes
in the present emergency.
The Governor refused to accept this
and presented replies from officials
of 20 States east of the Mississippi
River to show that the general prac-
tice is to appropriate the money to
the Governor, and that official is given
free hand in its expenditure.
Two Senators refused to give the
Governor this authority, insisting that
the Legislature proposed to appro-
pirate large sum, and that as it's eX-
penditure would cover many items In
a defense program, a war board
should be created to dispose of it.
They argued that this could result in
more intelligent distribution of the
fund, as no one man could be expect
ed to keep in touch with the many
demands that were certain to be made
upon the State.

Many radical changes are recon-
mended in the report of the Economy
and Efficiency Commission. which was
submitted to the Legislature last night
after a two years survey of the work
ings of the State government and a
study of government in other states.
The commission states that the re-
port. in effect, is a plan for the reor-
ganization of the various departments,
bureaus and commissions into such a
coherent and connected whole as will
minimize parallelism and duplication
of effort; reduce. If possible. the bur-
dens of government to the taxpayer by
the Capitalization and unification of
management. The report is not a plan
for immediate execution in all its de-
tails, but general and comprehensive
one, toward which all executive action.
legislative enactment and constitution
al reform should proceed.
S:5.OOO Yenr For the Governor
Simplification of the Governors du-
ties by eliminating the service requir-
ed of him on numerous boards and
commissions is suggested. 1t is propos-
ed that the Governors salary be in
creased from $4,000 to S25,000 a year:
that the Constitution be amended so
that the next Governor elected shall
serve for five years and thus bring his
successor into office in even numbered
years. between sessions of the General
Assembly, or amend the Constitution so
that the General Assembly in the flu
ture shall meet in the even numbered
years instead of in the odd numbered
years.
The present system of collecting and
disbursing the States money is de-
clared to be defective in many respects.
1t is recommended that to protect the
State funds the Constitution should be
amended so that no money can be paid
out of the State Treasury except under
terms of an act of Assembly appropri-
ating a specific sum TO a specific pur-
pose.
The creation of a board of public
finance is recommended, the members
to be Auditor General. State Treasurer
Secretary of the Commonwealth, Attor-
ney General and Commissioner of
