Lost Valuables Strangely Found
A New York hotel man told this ex-
perience: . Visiting Bridgeport. he

went down the bay one afternoon and
seating himself on rock, idly beat the
water with his cane. A loose fitting
diamond ring fell from his finger and
disappeared. The next morning at low
tide he again visited the spot, but
without much hope. Upon the very
edge Of rock, at that tide high and
dry. lay the ring. If it had fallen a
sixteenth OF an inch further out It
would have gone down in ten feet Of
water.

man. Generally the property man fur

Mr.. Props forgot the ring None could

in another studio. That night Miss
Martin settled the wedding ring prob

purchased one, a neat little band of
gold. Wherever Miss Martin goes now
that ring goes with her.

As the taste in clothes or friends diff

feel afraid another star will adopt one
of the same breed. Fluffy is Shirley

New York, N. Y.-It is conservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are TAX
ing Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing re-
suits have been reported from it's use
both by doctors and laymen that a num-
Der of physicians in various parts of the
country have been asked to explain why
they prescribe it so extensively, and
why it apparently produces so much
better results than were obtained from
the old forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below
DR.. Ferdinand King a New York
Physician and Medical Author. says:
There can be no sturdy iron men with
out iron. Pallor means anaemia. Amaze
mia means iron deficiency. The skin of
anaemic men and women is pale; the
flesh fabby; the muscles lack tone, the
brain flags and the memory fails and
they often become weak, nervous, irrita-
BILE, respondent and melancholy. When
the iron goes from the blood of women,
the roses go from their checks
"In the most common foods of Ameri-
ca, the starches, sugars, table syrups,
candies, polished rice. white bread, soda
tapioca, sage. farina, degerminated corn
meal, no longer is iron to be found. Re-
ffning processes have removed the iron
of Mother Earth from these impover-
ished 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 get the most
out of what you eat, you must supply
the iron deficiency in your food by using
some form of organic iron. just as you
would use salt when your food has not
enough salt"
DR. James Louis Beyea, for 10 years
Adjunct Professor in the New York
Homeopathic Medical College. says: "As
a physician 1 have always been opposed
to prescribing advertised remedies, and
for fifteen years. while Adjunct Profess
sor in the New York Homeopathic Med
zeal College, l taught my medical stu
dents that such remedies were generally
valueless, but in the case Of Nuxated
Iron severe tests made on myself and
numerous patients have absolutely con-
WINGED me that 1t is remedy OF most
should be generally prescribed by all
physicians. Notwithstanding the fact
that am nearing my s0th birthday, a
short course of Nuxated Iron has made
me feel like new man. FRIENDS say
What have you been doing to yourself,
you look so we'll and full of life" In
my opinion there is nothing like organic
iron-Nuxated Iron. But beware of the
old forms of metallic iron which often
do more harm than good. To be abSo-
luteIy sure that my patients get real
organic iron, and not some form of
metallic variety, | always prescribe
Nuxated Iron in the original packages"
Dr. E. Sauer. a Boston physician who
has studied widely both in this country
and in great European Medical Institu-
tions, says: las L have said hundred

times over, organic iron IS the greatest
of all strength builders. If people would
only take Nuxated Iron when they feel
weak or rundown, instead of dosing
themselves with habit-forming drugs,
stimulants and alcoholic beverages, l am
convinced that in this way they could
ward off disease. preventing it becoming
organic in thousands of cases and there
by the lives of thousands might be saved
who now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and
other dangerous maladies. The real and
true cause which started their diseases
was nothing more nor less than a weak
ened condition brought on by lack of
iron in the blood.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it. no matter how much
or what you eat. your food merely
passes through you without doing you
any good, and as a consequence you be-
come weak. pale and sickly looking. Just
like plant trying to grow in a soil de-
ficient in iron. If you are not strong or
well you owe it to yourself to make the
following test: see how long you can
work or how far you can walk without
becoming tired. Next take two five
grain tablets of ordinary nuXated iron
three times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again
and see how much you have gained L

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 without obtaining
any benefit. But don't take the old
forms of reduced iron. iron acetate or
tincture of iron simply to save few
cents. The iron demanded by Mother
Nature for the red coloring matter In
the blood of her children is alas not
that kind of iron. You must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated to do you any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than use
less. Many an athlete and priZe-hghter
has won the day simply because he
knew the secret of great strength and
endurance and filled his blood with iron
before he went into the ARRAY; while
many another has gone down to fnglori-
Gus defeat simply for the lack of iron"

WHOLE COUNTRY
TO BACK WILSON,
ASSERTS HOWARD
People Will Be Unanimously
. Behind Administration as
Soon as They Understand
Situation, Congressman Says

Take 1t from Congressman William
Schley Howard-the country's all right
to the backbone, responding nobly to
the call to service.
And as soon as the people understand
the true situation they are going to be
unanimously behind the administra-
tion, he asserts. Unanimously" is the
word he used.
Mr.. Howard and his family returned
Thursday from Washington and will be
at their home at Decatur for some days
Congressman Howard will be the prin-
cipal speaker at the DeKalb county
fair October Is.
1.-The business men have responded
and are continuing to respond nobly to
the call for funds" said Congressman
Howard. 1.-THE farmers also are re-
spending splendidly. The whole bust
ness is all right. The country people
are not against the war. They are just
as patriotic as anybody else.
"In the business world there has been
selfshness in spots where men held per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT above patriotism.
AS soon as the people understand the
situation, however. they are going to be
unanimously behind the administra-
ton"
Stick together was the doctrine Con-
gresham Howard preached.
GAS the president said to J. r. Smith
and me the other day." said he, "'We
must all hang together or we're going
to hang separately
1.-THE Bernstorff furry? Nothing to
it. AS 1 have said before, if the kaiser
thought he was going to buy the house
of representatives for $4,000 he was a
cheap skate"
Touching on the extra war session of
congress Just ended, Mr.. Howard said,
at is due the extra session of con-
gress to say that, with few exceptions,
no body of men ever responded more
honestly or more sincerely to the coun-
trys call than did the sixty-fifth con-
gress"
Congressman Towards attention was
called to the fact that his name is
being widely mentioned as a probable
candidate for the United States senate.
"I have been so busy trying to fill
the job the people have given me &C
ceptably that 1 haven't had time to
think about the senate" he said. "Of
course L appreciate the mention of my
name in this connection"
Mr.. Howard received nothing less
than an ovation when he reached At
lanta. He was met at the station by a
number of friends. headed by J. r.
Smith.
