Physician and Medical Author. says: cit is
my opinion that in practically nine times out
and vitality are due to deficiency Of iron in
the blood. Many q woman who Is rundown,
nervous and who quickly tires out, suffers
from iron deficiency and does not know it.
I am convinced that there are thousands of
such women who, simply by taking Nuxated
Iron, might readily build up their redblood
corpuscles,. increase their physical energy
and get themselves back to vibrant and
vigorous health. By enriching the blood and
increasing its oxygen carrying power, Nux-
ated Iron will often transform the fabby
flesh, toncless tissues. and pallid cheeks of
nervous, rundown women into glow of
health, and make them look younger within

Tho Auto Trucks Which Government
Has Loaned Counties for Road
Work Can Not be Misused
or Overloaded.
STATE MEN IN CHARGE
Highway Commissions Send the Ma
chimes to do Service In Rural
communities-They Served
In France.

No holes must be drilled in the old
gasoline war chariots which the gov
eminent has loaned to the different
counties.
This Is made plain to boards OF
supervisors in communication from
the state highway commission. Any
changes desired may be made in the
truck. but no holes must be drilled
into the framework.
The board is also informed that 1t
may dress the new government auto
truck lid any way 1t feels inclined so
long as it does not load the machine
beyond it's capacity. The government
will not sand for having the dis
charged war chariot abused.
The motor is one OF two for which
the supervisors applied come time
ago, when it was announced that the
government had a stock of gasoline
trucks to distribute among the coun-
ties for use on the county roads.
These machines have been doing war
work in France, but the United
States has no further use for the
veterans.
The conclusion was reached that
they would be just the thing for haul
ing material in western counties
which are complying with the postal
road plan. Several hundred OF the
machines were turned over to the
state highway commission. All the
counties were heard from when the
commission invited the counties to
put in their applications.
Recently communication was re-
ceived from the highway commission
explaining that the government want
ed record of the work performed by
the machines. The government Is
evidently securing the information
for statistical purposes to determine
the amount of work done as COM
pared with horse power with the
cost of maintaining the machines.

HEAR ALL ABOUT
WONDERFUL LEAD
High Tension Club Listens to Address
by Superintendent Wettstein OF
keokuk's Unique In
dustry.
HAS INTENSE INTEREST
10 One Of the MetaIurgical Wonders OF
the World and is Made Only
Here at keokuk and Called
Ulco.

How big new industry came to
Keokuk intending to make shrapnel
to fill shells and has ended by making
bath room fixtures and important
parts of Ford automobiles, was told
by T. F. Wettstein, superintendent
of the United Lead company. at the
regular meeting of the High Tension
club last evening.
The address Of Mr. Wettstein was
very candid, very illuminative and
full of information about one OF the
most important inventions Of the
century, now being made In Keokuk
on a very large scale.
In 1914, the people who own the
United Lead company were large
makers of shrapnel out Of anthony
and lead The anthony all came
from China and was soon used up.
They put up the problem OF making
some other combination equally hard
to two professors of Minnesota uni
versity. after 1t had been worked on
for years unsuccessfully by others.
Developing New Fields.
These men finally devised COM
bination of lead, barium and calcium,
which when perfected became a new
metal. called Ulco, and locally known
as hard lead. BY that time anthony
was being produced in California In
sufficient quantity for the munition
makers. and other uses were found
for Ulco.
First. it was found to be infinitely
superior to babbitt or anything else
for bearings. Henry Ford at first
bought fifty tons month and now
is buying two hundred tons month
in Keokuk.
Then it was found that Ulco would
take nickel plate like brass. Now
it is made into pipe, like brass, and
nickel plated for plumbing fixtures
being equally good, or better than
brass, and much cheaper.
Wore Out Navy Testing Motors.
For bearings it is so infinitely use
full that the company, while quad
rupling it's original output, has never
had a salesman and cannot supply
the demand. One Chicago shop OF
large machine tools bought carload
some time ago and saved $4,000 by
it's use.
It prevents friction like babbitt,
and its hardness is such that 1t
lasts permanently, almost. The navy
Is using It, and it was used IN some
of the ships built during the war.
At Annapolis. the navy testing sta
ton has plant for testing bearings
by actually wearing them out in use.
They have had the Keokuk metal
in bearings for months on test and
have worn out two electric motors
trying to wear out the Ulco bearing,
and now have the third motor trying
to wear the bearings out.

BARTERING PLACES

The advertisers relieve you of
this trouble, by bringing their
goods to, you in the ADVERTISE
ments. Before the days Of the
development Of advertising, you
would have had to visit dozen
or a score of places, weigh and
choose, and then not be sure you
had made the best selection.
Advertising has made it possible
to know just what will interest
you and be of value to you.
Just think what this means: You
order now without worry or
trouble because advertising tells
you all about the things you
want to buy before you buy
them.
Read the advertisements and
think about them with this in
mind. They are there to serve
you.

What has taken their place is the

a years supply all at once as of

for you, and you buy only what
you need as you need it.
