thor, and others give valuable advice and
information on the use of organic iron
as a tonic, strength and blood builder
Careful investigation by physicians
among druggists and patients has revealed
the fact that there are thousands Of people
taking iron who do not distinguish be
tween organic iron and metallic iron and that
such persons often fail TO obtain the vital
energy, strength aud endurance which they
seek simply because they have taken the
wrong form Of iron. They seem 20 think
iron is iron on tho same theory that potato
would be a potato whether cooked tr raw.
entirely ignoring the fact that the cooking
process makes certain important cellular
changes IN the potato that renders It far
more easy or assimilation by the blood and
tissues No one would hardly e3pect 70
derive the same strength from eating raw
potatoes that be would from eating cooked
potatoes. yet according to the opinions
OF physicians who have made careful
study of the subject, taking raw, unpre-
pared. metallic iron IL q good deal like
eating raw potatoes.
Therefore. physicians advise those who
feel the need of strength ond blood

10 Prevent Election Frauds

The city has heard much of the nrn,ar,,
frauds in the Mitchell Bennett contest and
there has been action by the District A.
torney to bring about punishment for those
guilty. Assemblyman Schuyler M. Mever
says there were worse frauds in the Deuo
cratic primaries, notably in the Rush Mc-
AVoy contest He AYERS that more than
I'ooo ballots were frauduently credited to
lammanys candidate, but because re.
count didn't change the result, in spite Of
all this, little attention has been maid to
these glaring "errors."
10 remedy such conditions Mr.. Mevar
mas introduced bills, prepared bv the
Honest Ballot Association, intended to do
away with the present system of choosjnp
election officials. 1t is proposed to have
the boards of elections at the various POLL
ing places selected from civil service
lists. The two major political parties
would submit lists of candidates. who
would be examined as to character and
quallflcatlons by the Municipal Civil Ser
vice Commission. The clerks at the polls
would be appointed from the successful
candidates, just as department stenogra-
pliers or clerks are chosen from eligible
