CHASE FOX ON RIALTO;
ALL HOUNDS IN SPORT
All Excitement Of Field Until Quarry
Is Cornered.
s,.c,,, to tn. washington Herald.

New York, Jan. 2o.-Broadway, In
which something Is happening all the
time. II not oftener, Is today recovering
from the excitement of fox chase,
marked among original features, by the
presence of moro ale hounds than fox
hounds.
Among the incidental facts Of scientific
value which were learned was that a
man with legs shaped like this 0 cannot
catch a fox II was also demonstrated
that actors, armed with walking sticks
add little to the strength of the pursuing
party.
For what shallit profit an actor to make
a "swipe" at a fleeing fox and lose his
own balance?
Policeman Kavanaugh, Of Forty-sixth
street, had noticed for several days a
woman, extensively garbed. riding up
and down Broadway In q large limousine,
with q real red fox. At this time, while
the automobile was slowly going south
in Broadway, the fox leaped into the
street. Policeman Kavanaugh threw his
stick at him and the animal dashed
a pile of lumber.
BY this time Broadway was aroused
with cries of "A fox! a foxv blasts on
automobile horns in imitation of the hunt
ers' bugle, and loudly yelled "Yoicks!"
Hey chivy on chivy tant tivy," and the
like from the frivolous minded. An enor-
nous crowd seemed to have sprung IN
stantenously in the square.
Policeman Kavanaugh lighted a large
piece of paper and held it SO that the
smoke blew into the lumber pile. That
drove him out.
Then he took the field. Back and forth
across Broadway he dashed. Philip Dol

ed attention to the great development
in the electric lighting field during the
past ten years, pointing out that the
Potomac company now furnishes electric
light and power to nearly every town
in Maryland adjacent to Washington, and
as far as Annapolis and many towns
in Virginia.
Capital Not Increased.
President King said that the capital Of
the company remains today as 1t was
ten years ago, there having been no ad-
dItional stock issued since 1902, at which
time $1,000 900 of capital was issued in
accordance with the act of Congress au-
thorizing the consolidation of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
and other companies now included in its
system.
The presidents report shows that the
railway company owns 699 cars, operates
17423 miles of single track, affording
through car service to the principal
suburbs and surrounding territory, and
that tracks and equipment have been
greatly improved over former years.

Doctor Says Nuxated Iron Will
Increase Strength ofDelicafe
People 1OO9o in Ten Days

Next take two fvegrain 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, run
down people who were ailing all the
time, double and even triple their
strength and endurance and entirely
get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles in from ten
to fourteen days time simply ny TAX
ing iron in the proper form, and this,
after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without obtain
ing any benefit. You can talk as you
please about all the wonders wrought
by new remedies, but when you come
down to hard facts there is nothing
like good old iron to put color in
your cheeks and good sound, healthy
flesh on your bones. 1t is also a
great nerve and stomach strengthener
and the best blood builder in the
world. The~only trouble was that the
old forms of inorganic iron like tine
ture of iron, iron acetate, etcv often
ruined peoples teeth, upset their stom-
achs and were not assimilated and
for these reasons they frequently did
more harm than good. But with the
discovery of the newer forms OF or
ganic iron all this has been overcome.
Nuxated Iron for example, is pleasant
to take, does not injure the teeth and
is almost imme diately beneficial.
NOTE-The manufacturers of Nux-
ated Iron have such unbounded
confidence in its potency that they
authorize the announcement that they
will forfeit $4,000 to any Charitable
Institution if they cannot take any
man or woman under sixty who lacks
iron and increase their strength 100
per cent or over in four weeks time,
provided they have no serious organic
trouble. Also they will refund your
money in any case in which Nuxated
iron does not at least double your
strength in ten days time. It is dis
pensed in this city by Wilkinson &
Co. and all good druggists

suffered untold agony for years doc
torins for nervous weakness, stomach,

aiinnent when their real trouble was
lack of iron in the bIood.-How to
tell.
New York, n. Yin recent dis
course DR.. r. Sauer, a Boston physic-
ian, who has studied widely both ia
this country and Europe, and in great
European medical institutions, said.
If you were to make an actual blood
test on all people who are Ill you
would probably be greatly astonished
at the exceedingly large number who
lack iron and who are i'll for no other
reason than the lack of iron. The mo-
ment iron is supplied all their multi
tude Of dangerous symptoms disap-
pear. Without iron the blood at once
loses the power to change food into
living tissue and therefore nothing
you eat does you any good; you don't
get the strength out of it. Your food
merely passes through your system
like corn through a mill with the
rollers so wide apart that the mill
can't grind. AS a result Of this con-
tinuous blood and nerve starvation,
people become generally weakened,
nervous and all run down and fire.
quently develop all sorts of condi-
tions. One is too thin; another is
burdened with unhealthy fat; some
are so weak they can hardly walk;
some think they have dyspepsia, kid
ney or liver trouble; some can't sleep
at night, others are sleepy and tired
all day, some fussy and irritable;
some skinny and bloodless, but all
| lack physical power and endurance
In such cases, it is worse than fool
lshness to take stimulating medicines
or narcotic drugs, which only whip
up your tagging vital powers for the
moment, maybe at the expense Of
your life later on. No matter what
any one tells you, If you are not
strong and well you owe it to your
sell to make the following test. See
now long you can work or how far
iyou can walk without becoming tired.

Vanity and spectacIes.

Charles Phelps Cushing, in Worlds
Work: One of the popular objections
to wearing glasses is that wearing
glasses makes one look old. This
was true in the days when they were
worn only to help poor sight, and
chiefly by the elderly. Now, a very
large percentage of wearers of spec
tacles are children, and the wearing
of spectacles is no longer mark of
advanced age. 1t is not sufficient
excuse for lady to say that glasses
would make her look old. Moreover,
wearing glasses is one of the best
preseryers Of a youthful appearance.
This is because prolonged eye-strain
causes wrinkles to appear prema
turely and gives the countenance a
strained, anxious, tired, drawn,
cross look, which is very character
istic and is far more to be avoided,
from the point of view OF appear
ance, than the slight Disagreement
of glasses. Indeed, so far from being
there are some types or
face to which glasses just add the
finishing touch.

WHOLE WORLD BARE OF FOOD
SUPPLIES; SO PLANT A GARDEN

termined by the ordinary influences
affecting production. In time of war
governments resort to CONSUMPTION
to I'LL the armies, and abroad they
are taking hold of food production In
the same manner. There is no time
now in this country for anything
but voluntary enort, but there should
be enough of spontaneous initiative
and enterprise in every com munity
to take the action which the COM
mon interest plainly, requires. 1t is
the first and immediate opportunity,
in which every community can share,
to do something for preparedness,
and it is patriotic duty. There is
no danger of an Improbable crop
upon the farms, or that the people
who grow their own vegetables will
lose money by it. A very great effort
is necessary in a matter of this kind
to make any considerable change in
the total production of the country,
and as the planting season is. now
on there is not day to be lost. The
price Of food next winter, with all
that hangs thereon, depends upon
the efforts of the next few weeks.
We venture to hope that the bankers
first to move for community action.
An officer of the Yale National
bank, New Haven, in recent letter
writes as follows:
I'VE have talked this matter over
in our board meetings many times
and have arrived at the conclusion
that we ought to do something to
help it. The result of this talk has
been that we are about to place
man in the field to go around in this
section among the agriculturists and
cooperate with them. finding out
their needs and having the bank help
them in a financial way. This, of
course, only applies locally, but we
hope that all of the banking inter
ests will become more directly con-
cerned in this promotion of farming
matters. We are beginning to real
ize that we have too many consum-
ers in this country to producers"
