Nuxated Iron Makes Strong

Former Hospital Physician and Me5- i0al Examiner says that in- three weeks it Virtually Rsvitalized His Whole System.
 In q recent discourse on the sub ject of iron deficiency in the blood of American men and women Dr. II. B. Vail formerly Physician in the Balti- more Hospital said: Throughout my experience on Hospital starfs and es Medical Examiner, 1 have been aston ished at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various dis cases when in reality the deli cate, rundown state was simply the result of lack of iron in he blood. Time and again 1 have prescribed or ganic iron-Nuxated Iron-and sur prised patients at the rapidity with which the weakness and general de- bility were replaced by 8 renewed feel ing of strength and vitality. I took Nuxated Iron my self to build me up after . serious case of nervous ex houstion. The effects were apparent after a few days and within three weeks it had virtually revitalized my whole system and put me in a superb physical condition. It is not surpris- ing that millions of people annually are now taking Nuxated Iron and phy- sicians everywhere are prescribing it.. Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly Physician of Bellevue Hospital (Out- door Dept.) New York, end the Vest chester Country Hospital. says: For want Of iron you may be an old man at thirty, dull in intellect, poor in mem- ory, nervous, irritable and all run down, while at 50 or 60 with plenty of iron m your blood you may still be young in feeling, full of life, your whole being brimming over with energy and vital force"
 Former Health Comnissioner wm. R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says:

"I am well past my thres-score years and want to say that l believe my own great physical activity is due largely today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron, and if my endorsement shall in- duce anaemic, nervous, dun down men anu women to take Nuxated Iron, and receive the wonderful tonic benefits which l have received, l shall feel greatly gratified that I have made an exception to my lifelong rule in re- commenting 1t. From my own exper- fence with Nuxated Iron I feel that it Is such c valuable remedy that it should be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country"
 Nuxated Iron, recommended above by Drs. Vail and Sullivan and Former Health Commissioner Kerr, is for sale by Lomen Bros. Successors to Butler, Maure and Co.,) and Hills Pharmacy and all good druggists on an absolute guarantee of success and satisfaction or your money refunded.

Louisville, November 2S-Federal
Food Administrator Fred M. Sackett
has called upon Kentucky people to
observe next Sunday, December l, as
Conservation Sunday, Thanksgiving is
considered an appropriate occasion
for expressing gratefulness at being
able to divert all thoughts from de-
struction to plans Of salvation and re-

kind; it's motto has changed from
Food Will Win the War" to Food
viii Save the World"
Of this vital program may be succinct-
~ presented, Mr. Hoover has prepared
message will be read in all the
churches of America on Conservation
Sunday. Copies of this message were
mailed to every preacher in Kentucky
today by Fred w. Hardwick, chairman
of the Fraternal and Religious De-
partment Mr.. Hardwick also has sent
copies to all lodges, in which the mes
sage will be read during World Re-
lief Week.
The challenge to Save the World"
not fguratively but literally, was
flung at Kentucky's food forces by the
Rev. nr. Charles w. WEIGH, himself
. native of Simpson county, KY, while
he administrators and chairmen we're
in session in Louisville, and it was
taken up by every man and woman
who heard the eloquent Kentuckian.
The chairmen and administrators left
Louisville determined to achieve even
greater success in putting over the
rev program than they did in saving
the food which won the war-the food
which enabled the Allies to hold out
till famine forced the DISCRIMINATION
which worked the undoing of Ger
many.
At the inter-allied food council last
summer, where the food resources of
the world were surveyed, it was reck-
oned that America would have to send
70 Europe 171s million tons of food, or
so per cent. more than we sent last
year, although it was apparent our
stocks would be no larger. But that
programme contemplated feeding the
Allies only. Since then the duty, the
privilege, of feeding yet other nations
has become apparent. This means a
further tightening of the American
belt. But it is an obligation measured
IL terms of human life which rests on
every citizen. The war consciousness
active everywhere, has been trans
formed into feeling of worldwide
responsibility, and Conservation Sun
day will be the beginning of a weeks
campaign in which Kentucky will
prepare to do her part.

Louisville, November 2S-Effective
December l, householders may pur-
chase not to exceed four pounds of
sugar per month for each member of
the family. They may also purchase
months supply at a time. The official
announcement of the change in rules
made by the Food Administration says
the signing of the armistice has re-
leased considerable shipping and con-
sequently made available considerable
sugar in distant countries not hereto
fore obtainable, with the result that
the amount for the United States is
adequate to permit of a more liberal
allowance for home consumption.

WOULD PUSH and EXTEND
HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT
Secretary Houston Tells Agricultural
Editors That Operations Under
Federal Aid Road Act Must BE
Resumed rs Quickly as
Possible.

Washington-Co highway
construction under the Federal aid
road act must be resumed as quickly
as possible in full measure, the Sec
rotary of Agriculture, d. F. Houston,
stated at a conference of editors OF
agricultural journals held recently in
Washington.
From uneXpended balances OF teder-
al appropriations for the last few
wears, from State funds beyond what
was necessary to meet the Federal al
lotments, and from amounts aVallaple
during the current fiscal year, approx
imately $4,000 900 will be available
for oynerditure during TIC calender
year. Next year, if all the balance
should be expended during this year.
and we should have to rely solely on
the funds accruing next year, there
will be about $2O,OCO,0CO from Neder-
al appropriations, and probably more
than this amount from State sources
according to the Secretary's state
ment. The States, in addition, Will eX-
mend sums in excess of what they have
assigned, or will assign, for Federal
aid road projects.
at seems to me-" said the Secretary,
"that we should take further step
take this step not only because of the
Importance of good roads, but also be-
cause of the desirability of furnishing
worthy projects on which unemplcy-
ed labor during the period of readjust-
ment may be engaged. There will be
many things suggested for which Fed
eral and State funds will be sought
Some of these will be unworthy.
Clearly such public works as roads
are worthy, and it would be in the
public interest to make available lar
ger appropriations from the Federal
Treasury to be used separately or in
conjunction with State and local sup
port.
