NEW YORK, n. Y.-Since the re-
markable discovery of organic iron.
Nuxated Iron or Fer Nuxate," as the
French call it. has taken the country
by storm. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that over three million people
annually are taking it in this country
alone. Most astonishing results are re-
ported from its use by both physicians
and laymen. So much so that doctors
predict that we shall soon have a new
age OF far more beautiful, rosy-cheek-
ed women and vigorous iron men.
DR.. Ferdinand King. a 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 fags and the
memory tails and often they become
weak, nervous. irritable. respondent
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood of women. the roses so
from their cheeks.

to be found. Refining processes nave
removed the iron of Mother Earth
from these impoverished foods, and
silly methods of 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 a ripe
old age. You must supply the iron defi-
cheney in your food by using some
form of organic iron, Just as you
would use salt when your food has
not enough salt"

o'clock this afternoon, in the Circuit
Court for Fairfax County, Virginia,
convicted Of an attempted assault on
a young white woman OF that county.
and sentenced to pay the penalty in
the electric chair at Richmond, Va,
on October 26.
The jury which convicted Burgess
was out about five minutes. 1t Is
reported that an agreement was
reached almost as soon as the jury
entered the room, the few other
minutes being required to write the
verdict. After a date for Burgess
electrocution had been set he was re-
manded to the Jail at Fairfax Court
House from which he will be taken
to the Richmond pcnitentiary where
he will expiate his crime In the cleo
trio chair.
Burgess took the stand in his own
defense after all of the witnesses
for the prosecution had been heard.
His testimony did not. however.
strengthen his case.
The prisoner was represented by
Attorney r. c. L. Moncure, Of Alex
andria County, and the prosecution
was conducted by Commonwealth
Attorney C. vernon Ford.
There were two indictments against
Burgess for attempted assaults on
white women, both of which occurred
August "a. The jury. however. heard
but one case, that of a young woman
whom he attacked.
The evening following his crimes
Burgess was tracked by bloodhounds
and taken in custody in Fairfax
County and brought to the Alexan-
6ria County Jail for safekeeping. Gov.
Stuart fearing that mob violence
might be attempted. had the prisoner
removed to Richmond the next even
ing. and Burgess since then had been
a prisoner in the Jail at Richmond.
He was brought to Fairfax Court
House Tuesday where he was exam

and pronounced sane

any attempt at violence was made.
In view of the fact that the jury
found its verdict with dispatch there
is no trouble anticipated in Burgess
case. and there was no occasion to
call the military out to protect him or
even to have it at the court house
during his trial.
