Monsignor Nannini, a prominent
Catholic clergyman, recommends II 10

Former Health Commissioner VIM. h

Charities, of PHILADELPHIA, says the
administration of NuNated Iron in

former house surgeon Jefferson PARK

DR.. Schuyler c. .Jadues, visiting

medical author, says that in his re-

women he has strongly emphasized
the fact that doctors should prescribe

their weak, rundown, nervous, hag-

cranking caused them to move Not
to be daunted. the machines were
abandoned and they started afoot.
Arriving at the food emporium. orders
were given for the mysterious viands.
So far all was well and Il looked like
a happy evening. Suddenly tho lights
in an adjoining room went out. A
fuse had spent its usefulness and the
room was plunged In darkness. much
to the disappointment Of several din
ers who had just commenced to eat.
Prophet Charles d. Shackelford. who
boasts of a knowledge of things cleo
trical. assured them and the excited
Celestials that he would fix It in a
juffy. He did. He pulled a switch
here, and another there. Then came
a fizzle, a sickly green sputter and
the entire establishment was envelop-
ed In inky darkness.

ton with the power house. Cancelled
all orders. while the manager ex-
pressed regrets and announced that
business would be discontinued Until
the following day. when the damage
could be repaired. still hungry for

to a neighboring cafe and once more
gave their order. The waiter Informed
them that It would take about thirty
minutes to prepare their dishes and
suggested that they either walk about
the room or dance until the food could
be served.

struck up merry waltz. Three
chords were about as far as he got

refused to respond to his classic touch.
The cause was not to be discovered,
but something went wrong internally.
BY this time the party-thirteen Of
them-was becoming hungry. Al
though cold, hungry and uncomforta-

stuck 1t out. The inner man salts

Their descent down the stairUav IN

as they reached the sidewalk a snow
