SWEDES TO OPPOSE B0lShEVISTS
NEW EARTHouAkE REcoR-
 DING DEVICE PERFECTED
Associated Press Service.

Associated Press service.
 HONOLULU, T H.--Professor T. A Jaggar Jr, director of the Hawaiian Volcano Research Association's obser- vatory at <ilauea volcano on the is- land of Hawaii. assisted by Dr. Ar mold Romberg. a physicist of the Col lege of Hawaii. has perfected a device for the recording of earthquakes and earth vibrations which, 1t is expected, will greatly change existing methods.
 Professor Jaggar's invention. which will shortly be given to the world through scientific publications, em- ploys the principle of photography in recording earth movements. is said to be much more accurate than seis- mographys now used to record vibra- tions which are not recorded by them.
 So delicate is the new instrument, that it registers the surf beats upon the Kau coast, twenty miles from the observatory.

 Not long ago . man came to me who was nearly half century old and asked me to give him preliminary examination for life insurance. 1 was astDnished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and 3 full of vigor. vim and vitality as young man; in fact young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret. he said, was taking iron Nuxated Iron had filled him with re- health; q. forty six he was care worn and nearly all in. Now at 50 after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vii tRlity and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolute ly necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without 1t no matter how much CT what you eat. your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. and as q con- sequence you become weak. pale and sickly looking. just like plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well. you owe 1t to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without be-  grain tablets of ordinary nux- ated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. have seen dozens of nervous, rundown people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been factoring for months with Sut obtaining any benefit.
 But. don't take the old forms of re- duced iron. iroa acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The ron demanded by Mother Nature for her red coloring matter in the blood of her children Is. alas! not that kind of iron. You must take iron Ina aformthat can easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse .han useless. Many an athlete or prizefighter has won the day sim ply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and fllled his blood with iron before he went into the affray. while many an- other has gone down to inglorious de- feat simply for the lack of iron"

a most remarkable and wonderful cf- fectiVc remedy.
 Dr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician In the Baltimore Hospital, and Med ical Examiner says: Throughout my experience on Hospital staffs and as Medical Examiner, have been astoi.- ished at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various dis cases when in reality the deli cate. run down state was simply the result of lack of iron in the 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 renewed feel ing of strength and vitality. I took NuXated Iron my self to build me up after q serious case of nervous ex- haustion. The effects were apparent after a few days and within three weeks it had virtually revitalized my whole system and put me in superb physical condition"
 NOTE-Nuxated Iron, which is pre- scribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety Of cases. is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy. but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and in America. Unlike the older in organic iron products. it is easily as- simulated, does not injure the teeth. make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary. it is q most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, rundown conditions. The manufacturers have such great confi- dence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable in sti:ution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron. and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks time, pro- vided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' .ime. It Is dispensed in this city by Lomen Bros. (successors to Butler -1iauro { Co., and Hill's Phar- macy.
