NOTE: Nuxated Iron, which is
prescribed and recommended above
by physicians in such great variety
of cases,S1s not patent medicine
nor secret remedy, but one which is
well known to druggists and whose
iron constituents are widely prescrib-
ed by eminent physicians both in
Europe and America. Unlike tho
older inorganic iron products. it Is
easily asstmilated, does not injure
the teeth, make them black, nor up
set the stomach; on the contrary it
is most potent remedy in nearly all
forms of indigestion as well as for
nervous, rundown conditions. the
manufacturers have such great con-
fidence in nuxated iron, that they
offer to forfeit $4,000 to any charit-
able 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, provided they have no
serious organic trouble. They also
offer to refund your money II 1t does
not at least double your strength and
endurance in ten days time. 1t is
dispensed in this city by Wilkinson
& Co., and all good druggists.

turned from Council Bluffs, Iowa,
where they attended the sixteenth
annual convention Of the state order
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
The convention was largely attended
and the note Of patriotism FREEDOM
mated.
The delegates displayed their pat
riotic tendencies by recommending
that the councils of the state pur-
chase $4,000 worth of the Liberty
loan bonds. It had originally been
the intention to recommend an aver
age of $1,000 for each council, and
with fifty-two councils in the state
that would have meant $4,000. 1t
was agreed, however, that some Of
the larger councils were able to take
a larger amount in proportion and
the recommendation was increased
accordingly.
The following telegram was sent
to President Wilson:
Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States.
The $4,000 knights of Colum-
bus of the state Of Iowa, in con-
vention assembled, tender their
men, their money and their serv-
ice in defense of our president,

BIG REGATTA
IS CALLED OFF
Admiral F. c. Smith Of Mississippi
Valley Power Boat Association,
Officially Announces
Postponement
FOR PATRIOTIC REASONS
Meet Was to Have Been Held at
Minneapolis and Everything Was
in Shape for This
Event.

The annual regatta of the Missis-
sippi Valley Power Boat association
which was to have been held in July
at Minneapolis, was this afternoon,
officially called off by DR.. f. c. Smith,
of this city, admiral of the associa-
ton. Patriotic reasons were assigned
as the reason for the postponement
Of the meet.
Minneapolis was anxious to carry
through her plans for the regatta, and
plenty of money had been subscribed
for the event. 1t was thought by Ad-
miral Smith and the officials Of the
society, that in view of the national
crisis, and the necessity for conserv-
ing every resource, that it would be
only right and proper to postpone the
meeting for this year.
This was officially announced to
the clubs in the association by Ad-
miral Smith this afternoon.
1t is probable that midsummer
meeting will be held, the time and
place to be announced later, to make
further plans for the association s
welfare and to consider any business
which may come before 1t.

NEW YORK, N. Y.--Since the re-
markable discovery of organic iron,
Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate," as the
French call 1t, has taken the country
by storm. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that over three million people
annually are taking 1t in this coun-
try alone. Most astonishing results
are reported from its use by both
physicians and laymen. So much so
that doctors predict that we snail
soon have a new age OF far more
beautiful, rosy-cheeked women an6
vigorous iron men.
DR.. Ferdinand King. New York
physician and medical author, when
interviewed on this subject, said:
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 Tags and tho
memory fails and often they become
and melancholy. When the iron
goes from the blood Of women, the
roses go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods of
America, the starches, sugars, table
bread, soda crackers, biscuits, mac.
aroni, spaghetti, tapioca. sago, farina,
degerminated cornmeal. no longer Is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron OF Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
and 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, if you wish to preserve
, your youthful vim and vigor to ripe
old age, you must supply the iron de-
| ficiency in your food by using some
form of organic iron, just as you
would use salt when your food has
not enough salt"
Former Health Commissioner,
VIM. R. Kerr, of the City Of Chi
| cago, says: II have taken Nuxated
| Iron myself and experienced it's
health giving gth-building effect
and in the interest Of public welfare,
I feel it my duty to make known the

REDFIELD'S
MESSAGE TO SOCIALISTS
Told Scranton Pennsylvania People
Why the United States
Went to War

In a speech delivered to an audi
ence made up largely of socialists,
Secretary Redfield in eloquent Ian
guage told his audience last We'd
nesday why the United States could
not avoid going to war against Ger
many. He said:
"The deep causes of the contest
call as imperatively upon the paci-
fist and the socialist as upon the
rest of our people," he said. 1.-THE
fine flower of human happiness which
pacifist and socialist alike claim to
seek does not grow out of, can not be
nutured by the brutal doctrine of
blood and iron"
Mr.. Redfield spoke before the
Scranton Board of Trade on the I'M
DERIVING causes of the war, which he
asserted called imperatively on "every
one of US" for sacrifice and effort.
"If ever a nation had a just cause
for battle, it is We" said the secre-
tary. "On the face of the record, in
the face of the deeds done by Ger
many, we do well to fight.
behind the more visible provoca-
tons of the war there lies deeper
cause. Frightfulness abroad and on
the sea, and the war carried on in
very truth by Germany within our
own borders, while outwardly friend
", having its center and home in
the German embassy, are not the
deepest offenses. Far more serious
is the thing of which these are but
evidence-the presence in the world
for the malign power that gives them
birth. For we know now that these
crimes were not accidental, but de-
liberate. They are the expression
of the will and purpose of power IN
high places, and by them that power
shows its hope and plan to terror
ize mankind.
"Besides the malign purpose and
power thus revealed, how pitiful are
the cries Of those who call Peace
Peacep or those who speak of social
solidarity in the very presence Of
purposeful, deliberate inhumanity."
