patriotic spirit that prompted the sac

''The Home Welfare League of the
Fifth Ward came into existence short
ly after Americas entrance into the
world a In brief it is a volunteer
organization, composed of loyal men,
who banded themselves together for
the purpose of e~nergizing and con-
c%entrating the patriotic interest OF the
community and placing behind you
boys who responded to the call of the
nation. In this work we have recelv-
ed splendid cooperation from both
men and women, which has brought
the gratifying assurance that our
work has been appreciated by those
whom it has been our privilege to IN
some slight degree remember.
Since the close of the war nealy all
the men have returned to their homes
and are rapidly reSumlng peaceIui
occupations and it would therefore
seem that our organization has about
finished it's work. But there is YET
one thing hat we hould like to see
accomplished and that is an organl-
cation among you boys who served
that shall hold you together as COM
rades of the world war, uni thus pre-
serve for all time the principles for
which you sacrificed. At the request
of the American Legion, which Is
now established in every state In the
union and is destined to bring all
those who served during the great
war, together in a great organlza.
ton, the Home Welfare League is GLAD
to cooperate in the formation of the
post of the legion in the fifth ward

| Is Your Blood !
Hungry For Iron?
Iron Is The Red Blood Food That Gives
You Strength, Energy and Power
How To Make The Test That Tells

Actual blood tests show that Q tremen-
,6ously large number of people who are weak
and i'll lack iron in their blood and that they
are i'll for no other reason than lack OF iron:
Iron deficiency paralyzes healthy, ~forcetui
action, palls down the whole organism and
weakens' the entire system. A pale face, 9
nervous irritable disposition, Q lack OF
strength and endurance and the inability to
cope with the strong vigorous folks in the
race of lfe-these are the sort of warning
signals that Nature gives when the blood Is
getting thin, pale, watery and literally sfarv.
ing for want Of iron. If you are not sure OF
your condition, go to your doctor and have
him take your blood count and see where
you stand or else make the following test
yourself: See how long you can work or
how. far you can walk without becoming
tired; next take two fve-grain tablets OF
Nuxated Iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you have
gained. By enriching the blood and creating
new red blood cells, Nuxated Iron strength
ems the nerves, rebuilds the weakened tissues
and helps to instill renewed energy and
power into the whole system.
Unlike the older inorganic iron products
