for want of sufficient NHkb,l l'
iron in the blood" says ~H II
DR.. James Francis Sullivan. II \
formerly physician of Belle vi
vue Hospital Outdoor DeptD.
New York, and the Westchester "
County Hospital, in commenting ih
on the relation of strong nerves
and physical endurance to the at-V
tainment of success and power.
"A weak body means a weakened
brain; weak nerve force means weak
ened will power, and like the race
horse beaten by q nose, many ca
pable man or woman falls just short
up their mentality with the physical
strength and energy which come from
having plenty of iron in the blood.
That irritable twitch, that fit of de-
spondency, that dizzy, fearful feeling
these are the sort of signals nature
gives TO tired, listless folks when the
blood is clamoring for Strengthening
iron-more iron to restore the health
by enriching the blood and creating
thousands of new red blood cells.
In my opinion the greatest curse
TO the health and strength of Ameri-
can people of today is the alarming
deficiency or irop in their blood. Iron
is absolutely essential to enable your
blood to transform the food you eat
into muscular tissue and brain. 1t is
through iron in the red coloring mat
ter of the blood that iife-sustaining
oxygen enters the body. without iron
there is no strength, vitality and en-
durance to combat obstacles or with
stand severe strains. Lack of suffi-
cient iron in the blood has ruined
many mans nerves and utterly rob
bed him of that virile force and
stamina which are so necessary to
success and power in every walk of
life.
Therefore. / strongly advise those
who feel the need of a strength and
blood builder TO get a physicians pre-
scripuon for organic iron-NuXated
Iron-or IL you don't want to go TO
this trouble, then purchase only NuX-
ated Iron in its original packages and
see that this particular name (Nux-
ated lrom appears on the package.
If you have taken other iron products
and failed to get results, remember
that such preparations are an entirely
different, thing from Nuxated Iron,
which bag been used and strongly en-
dorsed by many physicians formerly

Agents find this an unusually effective way of demonstrating to for eign-born residents. Milk stations are run in connection with some of the kitchens, and bottled milk Is sold nt cost.
 With a more complete mobilization of women for food production and food preservation the demands for commu- nifty kitchens have increased propor- tionately and new tcnters are being established continually, many under the expert direction of home-demon- stration agents. In addition to the actual saving of food, the kitchens keep the conservation movement con stantly before the public in a con structiye way and relieve pressure of home work at busy season. They provide trained supervision in the pur- chasing and preparation of food and demonstrate the newest methods and the advantages of efficient equipment. And best of all, they promote socia- bllity, democracy and good fellowship and add new impetus to the co-opera- tive life ot the community.

THE NEXT REGISTRATION.

Because of there having been o1 ders Tor one registration, which was ot voluntary nature, the public must not confuse the registration orders fhat come from Washington relative 10 the draft, and these must be strictl, lived up to in all matters
 On August 2ith the young men who have come 21 years of age since June 9th, must register for the draft
 This is a compulsory registration and the heaviest of penalties are pro Nided against those who are within the age and fail to register
 There will be another draft regis. tration little later for the men be, tween the ages of IS and 45 years. ant this was supposed to be on Septem- Fber ,. but the date has been set fol little later because of the fact tha there are some elections scheduled for that date in some of the states, anc the government did not want to COT fuse registration with elections
 There will be places of registration open in every political precinct of the United States. and there will be a general registration under the pro visions of the act, and the men who have turned 21 years of age since June must register.
 Young men who are here and whose homes are elsewhere may register with the local board on the proper au- thority of their home boards, as was done in the other registrations, and there is also like provision for pny- sical examinations before local boards, so as to disrupt as little as possInIt the general scheme of affairs until the actual time comes for the call.
 The registration date for the nevls turned 21 ages is August 24, and ap- plies to all who have turned 21 since June 5 and up to the date of registra- ton. m,ta
