owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you work how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by remedies. but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound. healthy flesh on your bones. It is also great nerve and stomach strengthener and one of the best blood builders in the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron like tincture of iron. iron acetate. etc, often ruined people, teeth. upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they fre- quently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all this aas been overcome. Nuxated Iron. for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immedi- arely beneficial

By MRS. MoLLIE H. HOUSTON

Cadet Jefferson Davis graduated
 from West Point July 1928, received
 the usual brevet of second lieutenant of infantry, went for short visit to his home in Mississippi, and then re-
 ported for duty at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis Very soon after he went up to Fort Crawford, on the site of what is now Prairie du Chien, Wis. The fort was in an unfinished condi- ton and Lieutenant Davis aided in building a larger and stronger fortifis cation. He remained on the frontier in the military service offthe United States for seven years. He wrote of this, 'Tn 1892, Zachary Taylor became colonel of the First infantry, with headquarters at Fort Crawford, Prairie du Chieh." Colonel Taylor had with him his wife, three daughters and his son; the second daughter, Miss Sarah Knox Taylor, became the wife of Jeff ferson Davis in 1885. Mrs. Mckee, sthe widow of the officer mentioned below, gave the following account of Lieu- tenant Davis relations with Colonel Taylor and his daughter, Miss Sarah Knox Taylor. with Colonel Taylor at the fort were Lieut. Jefferson Davis, Major Thomas F. Smith, fiery, gay
 officer of the old army, and Captain Mckee, afterwards Taylor's, and then Scott's, paymaster general in Mexico. Lieutenant Davis and Miss Knox" Taylor became very much in love and were to be married with her fathers consent. When young Davis proposed for the hand of Miss Taylor, Colonel Taylor said that while he had nothing but the kindliest feeling and warmest admiration for Lieutenant Davis, he was in a general way opposed to hav- ing his daughter marry a soldier. His own wife and daughters complained so bitterly of his almost constant absence from home and of their own torturing anxiety for his safety, he had once re- solved that his daughter should never marry a soldier with his approval. Aside from this, there was no reason why the proposal of Lieutenant Davis should not meet his ready consent. Sometime after this a court-martlai was held composed of Colonel Taylor. Major Smith, Lieutenant Davis and an officer whose name Mrs. Mckee had forgotten. There was an angry feud between Taylor and Smith. By the rules of the army each officer sitting

 ing by Sheriff Parker and Deputy Sheriff Newt Lindsey, who went for him Friday night The prisoner and two officers were accompanied to the courthouse from the union station by 9 party of city officers detailed by Chief Rutledge. but no demonstration If any kind was made on the trip from the station or about the courthouse.

Sterne, special counsel for the state and Alabama Power Company, were in the courtroom About thirty-five whites and negroes were present in the courtroom when the sentence Of the court was pronounced.

Nuxated Iron Will Increase Strength of Delicate People

 persons have suffered for years without
 knowing what made them feel tired, list

 was lack of iron in the blood-how to tell.
 Y F you to make an actual blood test
 on all people who ill you would prob
 . ably be greatly astonished at the exceed ingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied multi tude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you good {; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starv ation, people become generally weak ened, nervous and all run down and fre- ouently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin another is burdened with un- healthy fat, some are so weak they can hardly walk; think they have dys- pepsia kidney or liver trouble; some can't sleep at night others are sleepy and tired all day: some fussy and irritable: some skinny arN bloodless. but all lack physical power and endurance In such cases, it ;s worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs. which only whip up your Tagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on.

 OF JEFFERSON DA WIS

on such a court was bound to appear in full uniform. Lieutenant - had left his uniform a Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis. He asked the court to ex- cuse him from wearing it. Taylor voted no, Smith voted aye, and Davis voted with Smith. Colonel Taylor be- came highly incensed. One thing led to another until he swore that the man who voted with From Smith should never marry his daughter. He forbade Davis entering his quarters and repudiated him utterly.
 For the next two years or more Lieutenant Davis was active in all pertaining to the protection of the
 white settlers coming into that region. He took prominent part in the Black Hawk war and received the surrender
 of Black Hawk, the great Sac Indian chief. General Taylor's feelings to- ward Lieutenant Davis did not seem modified, and Miss Knox Taylor said to her father that she had waited two years, and as he had not alleged any thing against Davis character or honor she would marry him. boat arrived at the fort and Captain Mckee, with the knowledge of her family, en- gagged a stateroom and escorted MISS Taylor to it. She again asked her fathers consent to her marriage, but he refused knowing, as he did, that she was going to Kentucky to the home of his sister. who was in warm sympathy with the lovers. Mr. Davis writes of this, 'Tn 1885, I resigned from the army and Miss Taylor, being in Kentucky with her aunt, the eldest sister of General Taylor, l went thither and we were married in the house of her aunt, in the presence or General Taylor's two sisters, of ms oldest brother his son-in-law ana many others of the Taylor family"
 Tie young couple went imme edlately to the home of the groom near Ficks- burg. Miss. In the following Septem- Der. while they were visiting Mr. Davis sister in Bayou Sara, La, the young wife died of malarial fever.

IMMIGRANTS DO NOT. SEEK H0USEW0RK
No Indication That Tide of Newcomers Will Relieve
 Servant Problem
By Associated Press

New York June 5-Though the tide or immigration has begun to flow again into the United States from Europe, so that incoming ships have their lower decks crowded with homeseekers from other lands, there is little prospect that re- lief is in sight for the American house. wife who has been promising herself a cook or a maid-of-all service to be re- cruited from the newcomers. At least that is the opinion of Superintendent F.. 1 A. Baker of the United States immigra- i tion station on Ellis Island.
 Immigration has been increasing by | leaps and bounds" MT. Baker said, and l it is a hopeful sign that the aliens ar irving in this port during the last few | weeks have exceeded the number gong l back to their native lands by many thou sands. Last week six times as many come in as qualified to leave the country. People who think the servant girl
 problem is going to be solved soon Will ! be disappointed if they are depending on 1 the women immigrants from Ireland ana 1 the Scandinavian countries. Plenty or these are arriving on every boat. but they turn up their noses at the thought Of menial labor. They have their mind set l on getting work in the better factorles' principally those manufacturing luxuries' such as candy and womens fnery. They want to get into places where employees are well treated and into localities where l housing facilities are best, so that they can live on the scale justified by the hlgh wages paid them. If employees want to l attract these classes of women lmmi- grants they had better look to the repu- tations of their factories for pleasant working conditions.
 1 Mir Baker secuted the idea that prom bition was one reason why immigration was not gaining more rapidly. He said the foreigners were coming in at about one-third the rate of the year lmmedl- 1 ately preceding the European war. The l principal reason why more were no' coming was that the men are urgently needed in their own countries, some ol ] which, notably Poland, are supportlns huge armies which use up large par' of their man power with the result tna' those who are free to do civilian work command wages comparable to those paid in this country.
 The present wave of immigration origi' mates in about the same countries as oe' fore the war with the exception or Ger many and Austria-Hungary Italy 1ur' nishes by far the greatest numper. lness are largely unskilled laborers who mo their way into the big cities all over tht country, where they go into the plg ln' dustries and mines.

 What's the Remedy?

 It must be plain that to tighten the skin make it fit the face perfectly in every place. will effectually remove the hateful wrinkles and bagginess. This is easily and harmlessly accomplished by dis solving an ounce of pure powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel and using the solution as face wash.

Jennison's Realty Review

The wise buyer IS reallZ- ing more and more clearly that now is the time to ac- quire unimproved proper ty, pending the return of normal building condi- tions, and there has been considerable activity of this character in the real estate market recently.
 It is patent that lots are going to increase in price, and no man makes a mis- take who takes advantage of the present favorable situation to buy a resi- dence site upon which he may build when the cost of materials and construc- tion has decreased.
 We have had a number of in- quiries recently for semi-central property, that is, residence property which is situated close in. A number of purchases have been made for investment in the territory between the business center and the, Ter minal Station, and some for : housing purposes. Homes in this vicinity are in demand for boarding house and lodging house purposes. One of the landmarks of the northside changed hands recently in the sale of the handsome Walker residence, at Eighth avenue and Eighteenth street, to the Eva Conner Cooperative Home.
 Unfavorable weather has con- /, tinued as a retarding factor in building operations, and the most inviting field for invest ment, as stated, is unimproved property. As it was expressed at the convention of the Ma tional Association of Real Es- tate Boards in St. Louis last week, "the homie owner in every large growing city is overlook ing an opportunity to make his home pay for itself; for what ever the prices of vacant resi- dence lots in a growing city are, they are going to be higher"
