Saws He Is l23 and
Has Son Over 100

BLUEF1ELD, w. Va, March 28.--
Claiming to be one hundred and
twenty-three years old, soldier Of
the War of 1912 and cabin boy for
Sir John Franklin on his first polar
expedition, John Drysdale, of Jets
vile, Greenbrier County, amazed
Bluefield folks with his stories while
on recent visit.
The aged man was agitated over
newspaper reports to the effect that
Levi Bond, of Lost Creek, aged one
hundred and three, was West Virgin
las oldest citizen. "Why, l have a
son that DID," declared Drysdale,
and I had fought through one war
before that fellow Bond was born"
Drysdale said he was born in Scot
land, which country he left when sew
en- years old to come to America. Be-
coming soldier when but a lad, he
said he led seafaring life for seven
ty-five years, in the course of which
he visited every port in the world.
He told thrilling tale of the Po-
lar expedition, during which, he said,
his ship. was ice-bound for year,
never sighting land during that time.
Drysdale attributes his many years
to the salt breezes, although he
came from a long-lived ancestry, his
father, he said, living to be one hun
dred, and twenty years old.
Among his children, he declared,
he has a son in Scotland more than
ARSpdred years old, while another
son in Canada was ninety-seven.
Many of Bluefeld's prominent cit
liens met Drysdale and talked with
him. They found his we'll versed on
almost every subject and showing a
keen intellect. Drysdale said the
League of Nations plan may be all
right, but ! don't know about sur
rendering the freedom which and
countless thousands of others fought
to maintain over hundred pears
ago."

PEPTIRON IS GOOD
This Real Iron Tonic Combines Merit
Economy and "Pep."

Made from formula that uses iron
in most digestible form, pepsin and
gentian. great stomach tonics, nux and
celery, the beat vegetable remedies for
the nerves. and also manganese and
other valuable nutrients-there's no
question of the value of Peptiron as
1 blood builder and strengthened.
The larger size of Peptiron contains
enough for a full months treatment,
while other so-called iron prepara-
lions contain only one-half or less.
The pep" or promptness with
which Peptiron does its work is noted
hr everyone who takes it.
From the first dose the system re-
spends to the treatment, and you
realize you are at last using medi-
cine that begins right, continues and
ends right. Better get a bottle of
Peptiron today. Take two Peptiron
after each meal--then comes good
Mood good appetite, and-pep.

Senator Pilots
Plane In Flight

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
first airplane flight over Washington
of a machine piloted by member of
the United States Senate was made
yesterday by Senator Henderson. IN
a plane equipped for two-pilot COLI
troll, Senator Henderson ascended
from Boiling field with Maj. W. o,
Ocker, an army aviator. After reach.
ing a height of 5000 feet, Maj. Ocker
turned over the work of plotting the
plane to the Nevada senator, who ma
neuvered the plane over the city for
about an hour.
Senator Myers, pilo+ed by Lieut.
Patterson; and Senator Kendrick, pi-
loted by Capt. Simian, were passen-
gers IN two other army airplanes from
Boiling field which made flights ove'
the city lasting half an hour.
Senator Myers declared after his
trip that he felt much more capable
of writing a treatise on the accom-
plishments r1ade by this country in
aerial navigator than one on "the
league of nations" "My only sensa-
tion," Senator Myers stated, "was
lack of sensation, for although we
were going a. rate of 80 miles an
hour, was not as conscious of the
speed as would have been in an au-
tomobile at 20 miles ali hour"
