stating the case in a
manner altogether too mild. The
park show is a winner all the way
through. Miss Lenora Simonson, late
prima donna with one of New York $
greatest musical comedy successes,
and at one time soprano with the
famous Sousa's Band, makes a head
liner that il will take the park man
agement a long time to beat Miss
Simonson sang several selections. Her
rich soprano voice was at it's best and
had she sought to satisfy the clamor-
GUS applause of her audience her part
tended far beyond what one has the
right to expect of an artist, no mat
ter how much we enjoy their efforts.
There is another singer on the park
bill who easily shared the favor of
the audience with the headliner. and
that was Ben Smith, the minstrel
lyric tenor. He, too, could have eX-
tended his part of the performance
had he accepted the numerous rounds
CT applause he received as demands
for more encores.
The balance of the park show con-
sists of Johnny Reynolds. the boy
who does perilous balancing stunts
on the top of stack of furniture as
high as the stage; Daniels and Con-
rad, a clever musical pair. who are
not bluffing wnen they bill them
selves as master musicians, and Booth
and Leander, the well-known team of
comedy cyclists.

New York, n. UT is conserva-
lively estimated that over three mil
lion people annually in this country
alone are taxing NuXated Iron. Such
astonishing results have been report
ed from its use both by doctors and
laymen, that a number of physicians
in various parts cf the country have
been asked to explain why they pre-
scribe it so extensively, and why 1t
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;
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, Respondent
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood of women, the roses
go from their cheeks.
IN the most common lOuuS VI Amer
lea, the starches. sugars, table syrups,
candies, polished rice, white bread,
soda crackers, biscuits. macaroni, spa
Ehetti, tapioca, sago, farina, deger-
minated corn meal, 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

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an ounce
Of freezone." This will cost very
little but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether
compound applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly. and soon the
entire corn, root and all. dries up
and can be lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone
is sticky. it dries in a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but clip this out and make him try it,

FORTY YEARS. SUCCESS

For business to be successful for
forty years means great deal.
Among other things, it means re-
markable excellence in the products
it sells. No inferior articles can be
sold on a large scale for so many
years; and it must not only be good
at the outset, but so good that the
progress of forty years shall not de-
velop any better article to supersede
it.
So women can, with confidence, de-
pend upon that old, tried and tested
remedy for woman's ailment, Lydia

still as popular as ever, though it was
placed on the market before the CEN
