DECISION IN TROLLEY CASE
Further Proceedings Granted in Opin-
ion of Justice Mestrezat

Further proceedings were granted today
in an opinion handed down by Justice Mes
trezat, of the Supreme Court. in the case
of the Philadelphia Trust Company, trustee,
against the northumberland County Trac-
tion Company and others and of the Penn
sylvana Steel Company against the Sun
bury and Susquehanna Railway Company.
The opinion followed three virtually iden-
tcal appeals from two DEGREES of the Nor
cumberland County Court of Common
Pleas. The lower court in 1913 adjudged
the Sunbury and Susquehanna Railway
Company formed in 1912 by IA merger of
the northumberland County Traction Com
pany and other traction companies. to be
insolvent and appointed receivers. Subse-
quently the court refused to permit the
Philadelphia Trust Company, trustees. to
foreclose its mortgage and granted the
receivers an order to sell the property and
franchises of the merger company and its
constituents as an entirety

and it ran for several years With vol canic steam at practically no expense. The only disadvantage lay in the rap idity with which the natural salts and gases, mixed with the steam, rusted away the working parts of the engine.
 Not to be discouraged by this diff ficulty, Prince .Ginori Cont removed this undesirable feature by piping the superheated steam to a boiler and using it to heat the boiler and gener- ate steam which did not contain the injurious salts and gases. Using the volcanic steam instead of fuel beneath an ordinary tubular boiler, he secured steam under pressure of two atmos- ,pheres which he applied to a steam turbine connected to an electric gen. orator and distributed the power to the city and outlying villages. So suc- cessful was the scheme that. an ex- tensive plant was planned and three tufob- -elctric generating units, each with a capacity of 5000 kilowatts were installed.

Many an athlete and prize fighter has won the day simply be- cause he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before. he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in iaglorious defeat simpiy for the lack of rion."
 Dr. Schuyler c. Jaques another New York physician, said: T have never before gwen out any medical infor- ,,i.n or advice for publication, as l ordin.trliy do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron l feel l would be rcIliss in my duty not to mention it. 1 have taken it myself and given it to my pateip.s with most surprising and satisfactory re- suits.

 NOTE-Nuxated Iron, which is pre- scribed and recommended above by physicians in such great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and in America. Unlike the older in- organic iron products, it is easily as- simulated, does not inJure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, 1t IS most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, rundown conditions. The manufacturers have such great confi- dence in nuXated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable in- sti.ution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks time, pro- vided they have no serious organic trouble.

natural steam was erected in connec- ton with them and in January 1916 the first unit was started. Since that time all three units have been put in operation and have given entire satis- faction thus proving the success of the scheme and opening up a new field for the use of natural resources made to furnish heat, hght and power.
 This method of using the internal heat of the earth to generate elec- tricity may be increased to many hun dreds of thousands of horse power, and the current already generated lights the cities of Leghorn, Florence and many of the smaller towns of Tuscany.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Since the re- markable discovery fo organic iron, Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate" as the French call it. has taken the country by storm il Is conservatively esti- mated that over five million persons Gaily are taking it in .his country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from it's use by both phy- slcians and laymen. So much so that doctors. predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beau- .sul. iJsy.ohceked women and viz orous men.
 Dr. King a New York physician and author, when interviewed on .he sub- ject, said: There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means iron defici- ency. The skin of anemic men and women is pale. The flesh fiabby. The muscles lack tone; the brain fogs and the memory fails and often they be- come weak, nervous irritable, de- spoldent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks.
 Tn the most common foods of Am cric,. the s.arches sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda. crackers, biscuits, mac aroni, 3paget.i. 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 70 preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form or organic iron. just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt."
 Dr. Sauer, who has studied abroad in great European medical institu- tions, said: As 1 have said q hun dred times over. orgnaic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away patent medicines and nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated iron, am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia. grippe. consumption, kidney, liver, heart

trouble, etc. The real and .rue cause which started their disease was noth- ing more nor less than d weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood.
 Not long ago man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him preliminary examination for life insurance. l was istonished to find him with a blood pressure of boy of twenty and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as d young man; in fact young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron Nuxated Iron had filled him with re- newed life. At thirty he was i1 bad health; d. forty-six he was care worn and nearly all in. Now at fifty a miracle of vitality and his face beam- ing with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it no matter how much or what you eat, you food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a con- sequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like plant trying to grow in soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe 1t to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without be- coming tired. Next take two five
 grain tablets of ordinary nux- ated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. l have seen dozens of nervous, run down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months with out obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acc tate, or tincture of iron sim ply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the rcd coloring matter in the blood of her childIen is, alas. not that kind of iroi. You must take iron in d form that can be easily absorbed and

Larderello, Italy, has an electric central station which is one of the most extraordinary installations in the world. Three big turbo- generators supply the townspeople with electrici- ty for Illuminating purposes at night. During the day the power is used to operate big munition factories. And not a pound of coal is consumed to supply the turbines with steam, for the steam is piped to the turbines from a smoking volcano and the whir- ring dynamos change the waste energy of nature into electricity ready to fur- nish light, heat and power to the towns and villages of Tuscany. Two of the generating units have been operated with the volcanic heat for nearly year with complete satis- faction. and electric energy for manu- featuring and domestic purposes has practically displaced coal which Is both scarce ana expensive.
 Prince Glnori- Conti was the one to whom is due the credit of hitching up volcanic heat to perform the work of the neighborhood. He experimented with the powerful jets of steam forced up through the cracks in the ground and in 1903 tried to apply the waste energy to steam motor. Af- terwards strong jet was used to run small electric lighting set and enough electricity was generated to light the borax workings. The scheme was improved upon later when holes were bored into the ground and pipes driven down to tap the source of the steam some 300 or 500 feet below the surface. With bore holes varying from a foot to twenty Inches in size, steam under a pressure of from two to five atmospheres and with temperature of 160 to 190 degrees Centigrade enough power was obtained to op- crate an ordinary steam engine of 40 horse power in 1906. The mechanical operation of the engine was success,

What America Owes France.

America owes to France two debts that it can never repay. When in the Revolution our strength was exhausted and the future was black and hopeless. France came to our aid, and thru her our independence was achieved. But the debt which we owe her for heroism in this war is greater still. If Germany had overwhelmed France, she would next have carried out the ambition which she had openly cherished for years, and would have annexed Brazil. This the Monroe Doctrine would not per init. We should have had to resist, and should have been brought in to single-handed conflict with the most terrible, the most rapacious, and most merciless and most un- principled power that the world has ever seen.
 IL was France that saved the world. The battle of the Marne was probably the most momentous bat tle in history If that had been lost, the condition of mankind would have been desperate indeed George B. Rose in the Arkansas Gazette.

REFUSED TO JOIN RED CROSS,
 FLOGGED BY BRENNAN MEN
Committee Wore No Masks and Acted in Daylight-Farmers Re-
 considered and Joined.

Brenham, Tex, Dec. 26.-Six farmers of this community of Ger man descent who refused to join the Red Cross, were taken from their wagons and flogged by a com mittee of prominent Brenham citi- zens who acted in daylight and without masks, it became known to- day.
 The six farmers reconsidered the matter and became members of the Red Cross.
 A large portion of Washington county's population is of German derivation. The Red Cross member ship campaign at first moved slow ly. Later a meeting was held at which a fund of S250 was raised to buy memberships for those who are unable to purchase them, and an armful of buggy whips was obtained for use on those able to join but who did not.
 Washington exceeded its quota by one thousand.
