industries. The iowa Can company
has already attracted the attention
of a large fibre-board manufacturer
of the east, who has sent a repre-
sentative to Keokuk to gather data,
and we expect visit from the off,
GERS of this company in the very
near future to- investigate the stu
alton in Keokuk, \ in regard 10 the
location of a plant OF considerable
size in this city.
While the war has brought about
condition that tends to retard the
launching and financing of new
enterprises at the present time, 1T
has, also, resulted in considerable
benefit to number of our plants
who have been successful in obtain
ing orders for war material.
The American Cement Machine
company is now operating two shifts,
which was made necessary by their
receiving large order for hoists for
the French government, which con-
tract must be taken care of in addi-
ton to their regular business.
The Ellsworth company has
already manufactured 5000 tables
for the war department and is now
running both day and night to fill
an order for tent stakes for the
army. This contract for tent stakes
will keep them busy until summer
The Carter Manufacturing COM
pany is turning out submarine chaser
parts, and the Huiskamp Bros. Shoe
company has completed its first
order for $4,000 pairs OF shoes for
second order for $4,000 pairs of
shoes.
The Keokuk Electro Metals conn
pany. in less than one year after
starting operations, has found it
necessary to build an addition that
has trebled its output.

is located on the >site of the River

started operations in it's new plant
which was built during the past year
and is already looking forward to a
considerable enlargement
The" unusual stimulus to the iron,
and metal Industries encouraged the
Pechstein Iron works to enlarge its
plant and this, concern has recently
started operations in it's new fouI-
dry. This is one of the best equipped
plants in this section of the country
and employs lat the present time
forty-one men, There is no doubt
but that this concern will be quite
factor in inducing other manufac-
turing plants that are dependent
upon foundry to locate in Keokuk.
Armor Plate Plant.
Considerable time and energy was
spent in an endeavor to induce the
government to locate the armor
plate plant at Keokuk and we sue
ceeded in having the government en-
gineers come TO Keokuk and look
over the situation, but location was
finally selected nearer the source Of
supply of iron ore and gas coal.

Dr.. H. B. Vail formerly Physician
in the Baltimore Hospital, and AIMED
ical Examiner, says: Throughout
my experience on Hospital staffs and
as Medical Examiner, | have been
astonished at the number Of patients
who have vainly doctored for various

result OF lack of iron in the blood.

weeks it had virtually reyitalized my
whole system and put me in a superb

and others give valuable advice and
information on the use Of organic
iron as tonic, strength and blood
builder.
Careful investigation by physicians
among druggists and patients has re-
vealed the fact that there are thous-
ands Of people taking iron who do not
distinguish between organic iron and
metallic iron and that such persons
often fail to obtain the vital energy,
strength and endurance which they
seek, simply because they have taken
the wrong form of iron. They seem
to think iron is iron on the same
theory that potato would be po-
tato whether cooked or raw, entirely
ignoring the fact that the cooking
process makes certain important Gel
lular changes in the potato that rend-
ers it far more easy of assimilation
by the blood and tissues. No one
would hardly expect to derive the
same strength from eating raw po-
tatoes that he would from eating
cooked potatoes, yet according to the
opinions of physicians who have
made careful study Of the subject,
taking raw, unprepared, metallic iron
is a good deal like eating raw po-
tatoes.
Therefore physicians advise those
who feel the need OF a strength and
blood builder to go to their family
doctor and obtain a prescription call
ing for organic iron-Nuxated Iron
and present this to their druggist so
that there may be no question about
obtaining the proper article. But IL
they do not wish 10 go to the trouble
of getting a prescription for Nuxated
Iron then be sure 10 look on the label
and see that the words NUXATED
IRON are printed thereon. Not Nux
and Iron nor any other form of iron,
but NUXATED IRON.
The remarkable results produced
by NuXated Iron and its widespread
sale CIT being estimated that over
three million people annually are to-
day using iD, has led to the offering
OF numerous substitutes and physic-
ians say that health officials and doc
tors everywhere should caution the
public against accepting these sub

Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston Physician
who has studied both in this country
and in great European Medical Insti-
tutions, said: ''Nuxated Iron is a
wonderful remedy. Not long ago
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked me to give
him preliminary examination for
life insurance. l was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of
a boy of twenty, and as full of vigor,

fact, young man he really was. not.

vinced that in this way they could

TO make the following test: See how

Next take two five grain tablets of

after meals for two weeks. Then test
your strength again and see how
much you have gained.

injure the teeth, make them black
nor upset the stomach: on the con
trary, it is a most potent remedy in
nearly all forms of indigestion as
well as for nervous rundown condl
lions. The manufacturers have such
great confidence in NuXated Iron that
they offer to forfeit $4,000 to any
charitable institution il they cannot
take any man or woman under 60 who
lacks iron and increase their strength
100 per cent or over in four weeks

organic trouble. They also offer to

from a tire plant, small to begin with
Of course, that could be developed in
to factories in thirty days.
Mr.. Phillips thanked the association
on behalf of the Standard Four tire
statesmen who were present, for tho
interest being shown. and announced
that by March 10 or April / the build
ing of the new addition to the plant
would be under way. He gave credit

behind the idea, and yet he said PEG

as the United States government has
assumed control of the distribution
of coal and other fuels, and has linn
tied and considerably curtailed the
amount of fuel available for manu-
featuring concerns throughout the
country; and as the government has
also assumed control over the dis
tribution of the available water
power at a number of places, notably
at Niagara Falls, the Industrial asso-
citation has received great many
more inquiries from concerns regard
ing factory locations during the past
six months than at any correspond
Ing period in the past A number of
the inquiries that we have received
have developed into very encour-
aging prospects and we feel that, on
account of the fact that there is a
considerable amount of power yet
available in Keokuk, that number
of industries will locate in Keokuk
on account of this power.
Altogether, the opinion Of those
who are most in touch with the in
dustrial situation, not only in Keo-
kuk but throughout the country at
large, is, that the prospects for a
great industrial development in Keo-
kuk during the next year are brighter
than they have been at any time
since the completion of the dam.
Both reports were ordered received
and placed on record.

: Mr.. Sawyer said that he judged the
association must be a good deal like

should be given larger support. They
have fixed expenses of over three

give them much over this amount as

INVADERS COUNT
ON FAILURE OF
ITALIAN MORALE
ASSOCIATED Press Summary. }

The first phase OF the Austrian Of
fensive ended in failure and in defeat.
The elimination OF what was intended
10 be the crushing OF Italy between the
jaws OF Austrian pincers is rout Of
the invaders themselves. With the
enemy retreating from the Montello
plateau to the sea with his losses esti-
mated at 10000, the chances are he
will not escape without other heavy
casualties. Undoubtedly the Austrians
built largely for success on the belief
the Italian morale was sheltered. but
such belief was entirely erroneous.
On battle fronts in France at Flan-
ders, the Germans are holdi>- their
men TO the trenches except for small
attacks here and there. No indication
for the present OF their intention 10
launch another big offensive.
