The munich pal band. composed of 15 pieces and di- rected by Prof. Philip Memoli, has ar ranged great programme for Sunday afternoon and this feature as usual will attract thousands to the municipal re- sort.
 The band concerts for Sunday after noons have proven a decided hit and the Iact that attendance marks for the past two Sundays have been shattered shows just how much the people appreciate this effort on the part of the city to give them entertainment and recreation Sun day afternoons.
 Manager Hugh Hill. ever on the job with new idea, had flock of ideas Saturday and he announced several inno- vations which would be established at East Lake under a new policy which will be put in effect this week. One of these hobbys of Hughs is that the chill dren should have a special day at East Lake every week. As consequen< Wednesday of each week will be known as "Kiddies' Day., and every child Under 15 years of age, by presenting coup~l and the war tax, can get free ride on any riding device in the park The cou- poh appears Tn the East Lake auVertlse- ment, elsewhere in the Age-Herald.

material prosperity according to the fol- lowing editorial from the Picking Daily News:
 It is extremely kind of the brewers of the United States, who are apparently in serious fear lest their trade. like that of the silversmiths of Ephesus. is about to be endangered, to think of conferring the benefits of their activities on this country; but frankly they are not want ed. Beer, however glorious. is one of the things China can manage to do with out. either in large or small quantities. Its manufacture would doubtless employ a certain number of workmen, and the brewers would claim the credit of being benefactors of mankind. and all that sort of bosh.' but the case against their coming seems well nigh irresistible"
 With China closing her doors to the brewers and saving frankly they are not wanted, and intimating that henefactors of their class are nc, welcome it be- hooves the manufacturers of the frothy drink to begin to plan how they can turn their breweries into a plant that will manufacture products for which there is legitimate demand and the making and selling of which leaves no stigma on the name of the manufacturer in the com

It is said that in Kentucky there Is a tree bearing each year a crop of wal nuts and crop of mulberries. and the curious phenomenon is accounted for by the supposition that a mulberry seed fell where a walnut lay on the ground. and the young shoots came up side by side and united their forces into one solid trunk. This supposition seems feasible from the fact that the bark of the tree is on one side that of wall nut and on the other that of the null berry.

 cal strength and energy which ,IssMs come from having plenty of Ma~&s iron in the blood. That ir- ES ritable twitch. that fit of de, ~4s feeling-these are the sort of signals nature gives to tired listless folks, when the blood is clamoring for strength giv- health by enriching the blood and creat- ing thousands of new red blood cells.
 Fin my opinion the greatest curse curse people of today is the alarming deticl- ency of iron in their blood. Iron IS ap solutely essential to enable your p.ood to transform the food. you eat into mus cular tissue and brain. It is through iron in the red coloring matter or the blood that life sustaining oxygen enters the body. Without iron there IS no strength, vitality and endurance to com bat obstacles or Withstand sewers blood has ruined many man nerves and utterly robbed him of that virile force and stamina which are so neces- sary to success and power in every walk
 .'Therefore, strongly advise those who feel the need of strength and blood builder to get q pnySlcidn pre- seription for organic iron-Nuxated Iron-or if you don't want to go to this trouble, then purchase only Nux- ated Iron in it's original packages and see that this particular name (Nuxated rron) appears on the package. If you have taken other iron products and failed to get results. remember that such preparations are an entirely diff ferent thing from Nuxated Iron, which has been used and strongly endorsed by many physicians formerly connected with well-known Hospitals. and such men as former United States Senator and Vice Presidential Nominee. Charles A. Towne former member of Congress; Judge Atkinson of the United States Court of Claims at Washington. and others"
