New York, n. UT is conserva-
tiyely estimated that over three mil
lion people annually in this country
alone are taxing NuXated Iron. Sucn
astonishing results have been report
ed from it's use both by doctors ano
lavmen, that a number of physicians
in various parts CT the country have
been asked to explain why they pre-
scribe it so extensively. and why II
apparently produces so much better
results than were obtained from the
old forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some Of the letters
received are given below:
DR.. Ferdinand King, a New York
Physician and Medical Author, says
s'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 they often become
weak. nervous, irritable. desponden'
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood of women, the roses
go from their cheeks.
In the most common foods of Amer
lea, the starches, sugars, table syrups
candies, polished rice, white bread
soda crackers, biscuits. macaroni, spa
shetti. tapioca, sago. farina, deger'
minated corn meal, no longer is iror
to be found. Refining processes have
removed the iron of Mother Eartn
from these impoverished foods' ano
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. IL you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to, ripe
old age, you must supply the iron de-
nciency in your food by using some
form of organic iron just as you
would use salt when your food has
not enough salt.

HEAVY STORMS
CAUSE DAMAGE
Barns Struck by Lightning
and Crops and Trees Dam
aged Yesterday Afternoon

Hundreds of dollars worth of
damage was caused yesterday by the
heavy electrical storm which swept
over Dauphin and Cumberland coun-
ties. Two barns were struck by
lightning as well as a number of
chimneys and many trees.
The loss of the two barns de-
stroyed is about $4,000, mostly COW
cred by insurance.
The large barn on the farm of
Allen K. Walton, south of Hummels-
town, was burned, causing a loss of
about $4,000. The farm implements
and the early season crops were also
destroyed. The wheat and oats had
been threshed and approximately
sixty tons of wheat and forty tons
of oats was consumed. No livestock
was burned.
The barn owned by ]. N. Rice.
west of Hogestown, Cumberland
county. was also destroyed. The
crops were consumed, although the
livestock was taken to places of
safety.
In spite of the damage caused in
some sections the rain will greatly
aid the coming corn crop. The storm
yesterday, unlike the one last week,
was not accompanied by heavy
wind. and much more damage was
avoided.

Little damage was done in the city

by the heavy thunderstorns. Preced-
ed by hours of torrid weather, the

While telegraph and telephone
communications were held up be-
cause of slight damage to wires, and
trolley service was delayed at times
on the city and suburban lines, no
one was injured and no property de-
stroyed in the city. Two barns were
struck by lightning-one at Hum

ened, were not injured.

damage was done by the wind, the
storm Will help the crops.
Scores of picnickers at parks in the
city and vicinity, and hundreds of
persons in bathing at islands along
the river. were forced to seek shelter
and remain under cover until the

BEWARE TYPHOID
SAYS DR.. RAUNICK
Vacationists Told to Be Care
full of Drinking
Water
Beware vacation" typhoid.

Beware vacation" typhoid.
This is the warning given to-day
by City Health officer John M. j.
Raunick to the hundreds of Harris
burgers who spend their vacation at
places near the city.
Few cases of typhoid fever have
been reported so far. and those on
record have been traced to contami-
mated spring water and similar
sources. 1t will be wise for vacation
lists to be careful when they go on
trips to places where the water sup
ply may not be safe. Picnickers, too,
should be on their guard and not
drink water from springs which may
be full of disease germs.
I'm the monthly report of ice
cream tests made during July few
samples were found to contain dis
ease germs, indicating that If the
high standard is maintained there
will be no trouble from this source
this year. But an epidemic can be
started If residents of the city are
not careful while away. Harrisburg S
water supply is absolutely safe, but
even in the vicinity of the city there
are springs which have been ordered
closed by the State Health Depart
ment. Notices are posted at these
springs and persons drinking any of
the water do so at their own risk.
"a close watch will be kept on the
milk and ice cream supply to pre-
vent a repetition of the epidemic of
last year. but the health authorities
are powerless if the residents of the
city are careless while. on visits.
Each year number of cases of
typhoid fever are traced to out-of-
town sources and could have been
prevented if proper precautions had
been taken"

u. S. War Purchasing Board
Begins Its Big Program
BY Associated Press

Washington. Aug. THE newly
created war industries board to-day
went to work on its big war pur-
chasing program for the United
States and her allies, after a pre-
liminary conference with President
Wilson. Among the first problems to
be solved was that of co-ordinating
American and allied purchases. This
probably will be done through Bern
ard M. Baruch, member of the
board, who is to be named purchas-
ing commissioner for each allied
government, and who also will be
chairman of the war industries
boards purchasing commission for
the American government. Some
difficulty is looked for in the efforts
to buy for the allies at the same
low prices obtained by the United
States government. Many producers
already have entered protest, saying
their government prices are far be-
low the market.
