NEW RULE FOR
RESTAURANTS
State Food Administrator Explains
About Serving Meat orders
In Iowa Public Eating
Places

Lee County Food Administrator ].
f. Elder has received from headquar-
tiers some information intended to
clear up some Misrepresentation about
serving meats in restaurants and ho-
tel dining rooms
The new public eating places rules
on meat announced by United States
Food Administrator Deems provides
that .'if patrons desire it, one mutton
chop, one lamb chop, one veal chop or
one pork chop should be served to an
order. and reduced portions OF ham
and bacon should be served. Prices
should be adjusted accordingly"
This does not mean that portion
shall consist of only one mutton chop.
one lamp chop, etc. It does mean that
If you are serving more than one NUT
ton chop. one lamb chop, etc, the pa
tron may call for only one II your
portions of ham and bacon are large,
the patron may call for a reduced
portion
Many complaints have reached the
food administration which have criti-
cized the service OF too generous por-
tons, particularly of these two kinds
of meats. OF course, it should be IN
derstood that when one mutton chop,
one lamb chop. etc, or a reduced por-
ton Of ham or bacon is served, the
prices should be adjusted accordingly.

cold, one should go TO bed, wrap
warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath
and drink copiously OF hot lemonade.

ask the druggist for Anuric (anti-
uric) tablets. These will flush the
bladder and kidneys and carry OF
poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tab
let every two hours, with frequent
drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia
appears In most treacherous way,
when the influenza victim is appar-
emily recovering and anxious to leave
his bed. In recovering from bao
attack of influenza or pneumonia the
system should be build up with a
good herbal tonic, such as Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
made without alcohol from the roots
and barks of American forest trees,
or his Irontfc tron tonic} tablets,
which can be obtained at most drug
stores, or send 10c to DR.. Pierce's

Nuxated Iron and its widespread sale Git be-
ing estimated that over three million people
annually are to-day using it), has led to the
Offering OF numerous substitutes, and these
physicians say that health officials and doc
tors everywhere should caution the public
snd they especially warn against accepting
substitutes for Nusated Iron, which, instead
OF being organic iron may be nothing moro
than a metallic iron compound which may
IN some cases produce more harm than good.
The widespread publication of the above In
formation, has been suggested by DR.. James
Francis Sullivan, formerly physician Of Belle
and the Westchester County Hospital; DR..
ferdinand King, New York Physician and
Medical Author and others, so that the pub
lie may be informed on this subject and
protected from the use of metallic iron un-
der the delusion that It is Nuazted Iron
or at least something "a good as Nuxated
Iron.
It Is surprising how many people suffer
from iron deficiency and do not know IL IS
you are not strong or well, you owe it to
yourself to make the following test: Sec
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next taxa
