PALMER EXCEEDED
 AUTHORITY, CHARGE
Alien Property Custodian Attacked for Seizing Big
 Passaic W0rsted Mills

New York. December 7.-The charge authority as alien property custodian in scizing the Botany Worsted mills of Passaic, N. J., and Stoehr & Sons, Inc. of New York, was made by Louis Mar shall. counsel for the companies stock holders in federal court here today His argument was on a writ of prohibition to restrain MT. Palmer from selling company's capital stock
 The writ was obtained by Max ". Stoehr, q stockholder in both compa- nies, in behalf of all the stockholders. Judge John c. Knox reserved decision.
 Mir. Marshall contended that, under the amendment of last March to the trading with the enemy act, the power of the alien property custodian had been abridged to permit selling of only perishable property and thus prevent usless waste. Under this amendrr ent, he declared, the custodian is directed to hold all other property until di- rected as to it's disposition by act of Congress.
 MT. Palmer had advertised for sale tIlc dSSctS Ol lIl6 COHlDdIN, pldCeu DY MT. Marshall at s25,o0oo00 and the stock The sale was deferred because of the issuance of the writ
 Government counsel in reply charged that the plaintiff had not come into court with clean hands, as changes made in the firm of Stoehr & Sons six weeks before the United States de- clared war were made to keep control of the firm for the benefit of the Ger man members of the Stoehr family.
 The plaintiff, he declared, owned less than ore-tenth of l per cent in the Stoehr property.
 He contended that Mir. Palmer had every authority to sell the property in volved, as it had been seized by ex- press executive order of President Will son as "captured property owned by enemy aliens or those closely connected with them.

is product of greatest therapeutic val ue which the general practitioner can prescribe almost daily in his practice with remarkable benefit to his patients, and one which, in my opinion, every good physician should at times prescribe if he wants to do the greatest possible good to those who consult him. There Is, be- lieye, no form of iron which is so valua- ble as that particular special specific standard which is used in Nuxated Iron. and If a physician has patient whose condition is one that requires iron, I would most earnestly suggest that no matter what other forms of iron he may prescribe without success. that he shouldtry that particular form used in Nuxated Iron.
 There can be no strong, sturdy iron men, nor beautiful, healthy, rosy check ed women, 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 flags and the memory fails and they often become weak nery- ous, irritable, Respondent and melan- choly.
 Therefore, if you wish to preserve your vim and vigor to ripe old age, 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"

County Hospital, said: "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and prescribed it for my patients.
 and can truthfully say that 1t excels any preparation I have ever used for building up delicate, nervous. down folks and increasing the red blood corpuscles, thereby en- riching and fortifying the blood against the ravages of disease. Contrary to general opinion. lack of iron in the blood does not necessarily mean you do not have enough blood, but 1t means your blood is not of the right kind.
 If you feel tired in the mornings; restless at night, if yous suffer from weakness or lack of vitality; go to your family doctor and have him take a specimen of your blood and examine it. and if it shows iron deficiency, get him to give you a prescription for organic iron - Nuxated Iron. Do this so as to be sure that you do not get hold of some of the numerous forms of metallic iron preparations on { ket, which may do you more ha good. Or if you do not want this trouble, purchase an origin age of Nuxated Iron and see f self that the words Nuxated Irol on the package. Not Nux and l any other form of iron other tn ated Iron"

tingencies that may arise.
''All other forms of chapter produc.
tion activity must be continued. Calls
from Red Cross commissions in many
parts OF the world make known the
unlimited need for civilian relief. The
chapters, therefore, should finish at
once, uncomplctcd orders of garments
for refugees, so as to be prepared to
take care of additional orders. Work
on refugee garments at this time is
all emergency work and should be
stimulated to the utmost. The necu
for civilian relief for the winter is
pressing and one garment now will
he of infinitely greater service in
saving a life than many garments in
three or four months from now. Sur
gicA dressings workers should be
urged to enlist in the work of gar
ment making Chapter chairmen
should hold meetings at once at their
work rooms to explain the situation
and organize this change in work"

ling the Christmas parcels for the sol
diers overseas has been completed
tho garment committee of the lOca
chapter will begin work OH the new
quota of 600 pajama suits. and hopes
to rush it through as rapidly as pvo
sible.
A nice, new supply of yarn arrived
last week and members of the knit
