give valuable advice and Information ON
the use of organic iron as tonic'
strength and blood builder.
Careful investigation by physicians
among druggists and patients has re-
vealed the fact that there are thousands
of people taking iron who do not dlstln-
guish between organic iron and metalllc
iron and that such persons often fail to
obtain the vital energy, strength ana en-
durance which they seek, simply because
thew have taken the wrong form of iron.
They seem to think iron is iron on the
same theory that a potato would be a
potato whether cooked or raw. entirely ig-
noring the fact that the cooking process
makes certain important cellular changes
in the potato that renders it far more easy
of assimilation by the blood and tissues.
No one would hardly expect TO derive the
same strength from eating raw potatoes
that he would from eating cooked potatoes
vet according to the opinions of physicians
who have made a careful study OF the sub
iect taking raw. unprepnred metallic iron
Is a good deal like eating raw potatoes.
Therefore, physicians advise those who
feel the need of a strength and blood
builder to go to their family doctors anal
obtain a prescription calling for organic
iron-Nuxated Iron-and present this to
their druggist so that there may be no
question about obtaining the proper article
But if they do not wish to go TO the trouble
of getting a prescription for NuXated Iron
then be sure to look on the label and see
that the words NUXATED IRON are
nr;nted thereon Not Nux and Iron nor
any other form of iron but NUHATED
IRON.
The remarkable results produced by Nux-
ated Iron and its widespread sale ut being
estimated that over three million people
annually are today using it, has led to the
offering of numerous substitutes, and
physicians say that health officials and
doctors everywhere should caution the pub
lie against accepting these substitutes
which may be nothing more than me-
taUic iron compound which may in many
cases produce far more harm than good,

MANY NEED help
Charity Workers Are To Have
a Busy Winter.
Families of Regular Workers
Can't Make Ends Meet.
CITY FACES A BIG PROBLEM
Appropriations Must Be In
creased To Check Suffering.
Mayor House Busy Planning
Aid for the Poor.

The city will make extra charitable
appropriations. Mayor House declared
this morning when confronted with
the fact that hundreds of Topeka fam
lilies are actually suffering already.
The heavy drain on the family
purse comes in January, according to
Mayor House, and then is when the
CITY will step in. No definite plans
have been formulated but some relief
will be offered by the city, according
to the mayors statement.
With the increased cost of house
hold supplies. clothes and all, along
with the predicted hard winter, To-
peka's poor will suffer this year even
more than before. Cold weather has
come and has found the working
mans family near the suffering mark
too. Not only the families of the cas-
ual worker will suffer, according to
the prediction made by charitable Of
ficers this morning, but hundreds of
the day laborers will ask for help, too,
they believe.
Face Big Problem.
The city is truly facing a hard prob
lem Mayor House stated this morn
ing and there will be something
done to help the citizens thru the win
ter. The help will come directly
from the city, according to his plans,
and not thru the local charitable in
morning whether the help would be
financial or provisional But there
will be something done.
Special accounts will be opened at
the city hall, probably made up of
balances frcm department and work
ing budgets. No other method of pro-
viding help has been figured out yet.
