Iron Is Absolutely Essen
tial to Greatest Develop
ment of Physical and
Mental Power.

Why Nuxnted Iron by Helping to
supply the Iron Deficiency in the
and Endurance of Weak, Nervous,
Run-DOwn Folks In Tive Weeks
Time.
The men of blood and iron whose
indomitable force and tireless energy
helped win the war owe much to the
strength obtained by eating coarse
foods and leading a rigorous out door
life. is the opinion of DR.. George f.
Baker, formerly Physician and Sur
geon, Monmouth Memorial Hospital
of New Jersey.
DR.. Baker believes that these same
conditions on a lesser scale have been
of tremendous help to, the health OF
men and women in civil life. In COM
menting upon this. he says: lust as
lack of proper foods for it's soldiers
saps the strength of a nation. so does
want of sufficient iron in the blood of
men and women reduce their power
and make them an easy prey to the
thousands of disease germs constant
ly around us and always ready to at
and rundown. 1t is not the quantity
of food you eat which makes you
strong. but it is the amount which is
assinilated and taken up by the
blood
Iron is absolutely necessary to
change food into living tissue, muscle
and brain. Refined foods and mod
ern methods of cooking have robbed
us of much of the iron which Nature
intended we should receive and there
is no doubt in my mind that the
coarse foods of wartime. with their
greater percentage of strength-giv-
ing iron, have materially aided in
building up a stronger race of people.
But unless this iron is obtained from
our food it must be supplied in some
form that is easily asslmilated il we
want to possess power. energy and
endurance. For supplying this de-
ficiency and increasing the red
blood corpuscles, / know of
ling more effective than
organic iron = Nuxated Iron. From
a careful examination of the formula
and my own tests of NuXated Iron,
feel convinced that It Is a prepara-
ton which any physician can take
himself or prescribe for his patients
with the utmost confidence OF obtain

results. The fact that NuXated Iron

an evidence of tremendous public con-

STATE wide ACTIVITY
IN TEACHER CAMPAIGN
Public Officials and Prominent
Men and Women Endorse
Movement for Higher
Salaries.

Men and women alive to the dan
ger threatening the public schools of
New Jersey are working along with
school teachers from Sussex to Cape
May at the task of rousing the public
to the need of increased teachers
salaries in order to prevent the closing
Of schools.
In almost every county, city and
town, teachers organizations have
been formed, and committees are at
work making up tentative schedules
which will provide uniform salary in
creases based on population, as it is
desired to have approximately the
same salary schedule for all cities of
the same approximate size, so as to
avoid inter-city competition.
Prominent men and women who are
not teachers are forming a strong
state organization, and many of these
are making speeches endorsing the
School and Teacher Campaign move
ment. State officials, including Cover
nor William N. Runyon, have issued
statements calling attention to the ne
cessity for prompt action to meet the
crisis and prevent a breakdown of the
public school system. Among the men
who have volunteered to assist the
teachers in the campaign are Thomas
McCran, of Paterson, Attorney General
of New Jersey Willard I. Hamilton,
vice-presldent of the Prudential Life
Insurance Company L. l.. Woodward,
president of the Trenton Chamber OF
Commerce; Fl. II. Van Saun, of Gran
ford; Lincoln e. Rowley, City Clerk
of East Orange; f. l.. Driver, of the
Driver>Harris Company, Harrison, and
Alfred Borden, of Short Hills.
The results Of these activities are
encouraging. In many cities substantial
salary advances have already been ap-
proved by the Boards of Education
while other boards are comforting with
teachers committees with a view to
granting adequate increases.

LOW-GRADE FUEL OIL
WILL DRIVE AEROPLANES

Aeroplanes soon will be driven by
engines using low-grade fuel oils in
stead of expensive gasoline, according
to Llewellyn A. Hoef1ich, of Pleasant
vile, now engaged in %perfecting high
powered motor engines, which are to
run on kerosene or other still cheaper
oils. At present Mr.. Hoeflich is work
ing under contract with a wealthy syn
dictate on a device by which thermal
control over the mixture to be used
for internal combustion engines will
admit of plying craft rising to any
height without danger of engine trou-
BILE, caused by freezing of the motor
oils.
Entire elimination of the carburet-
or. which causes the greatest trouble
to amateur drivers, will be the final
step in making the engine driven by
low-grade fuel oils foOl-proof," declar-
ed Mr.. Hoefich, who is conducting
his experiments at his home on West
Merton avenue. "At present a simple
device, added to a motorcycle engine,
is being used in my experimental car
and is driving it without noise or eX-
pulsion of gaseous smoke. The princi-
pie of using p~re-heated fuel oils of low
grade and cost has proved to be a sue
cess, and with my associates expect
to begin the commercial manufacture
of our new engines within a short time
as soon as we can erect a factory here
in Pleasantville or in some other city.
