NUXATED IRON

contains the principal chemical con
stituent Of active living nerve force in
a form which most nearly resembles
that in the brain and nerve cells Of man.
1t also contains organic iron Ike the
iron in your blood and like the iron in
spinach, lentils and apples. Organic iron
enriches the blood and plenty of rich
red blood means more nerve force, so
that Nuxated Iron not only feeds what
might be termed artificial nerve force
to the nerve cells, but 1t stimulates the
blood to manufacture a greatly in
creased supply of new nerve force. If
you are weak, nervous or rundown, get
bottle OF Nuxated Iron today and If
within two weeks time you do not feel
that IL has increased your nerve force
and made you feel better and stronger
in every way. your money will be re
funded. Sold by all druggists.-Adver-

EARL SHAFFERI IS ACQUITTED OF
 MURDER CHARGE
Convict Twice Convicted of Murder Is Found Not Guilty of a Third Charge
 By Jury

After being out all night, the jury in the case of Earl Shaffer, con vict, serving two life sentences for murder, returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday morning. The de- fendant was tried before Judge H.. P. Heflin and jury in the criminal division of the circuit court, hear ing of the case consuming two en- tire days.
 The man is alleged to have killed Frank Marshall another convict in Banner mines several weeks ago be- cause he had told of an alleged plot to blow way out of the mines.
 Although Shaffer has been emotion less throughout the trial, as the jury filed into the courtroom and in the Jury box, there was strained ex pression on his face as the verdict was read Following the reading of the verdict Judge Heflln called the defendant up to the bench and said: You have been found not guilty. Go back and kill no more, regardless of what happens do not kill Flee from temptation, curb your anger and while you may feel that life has been hard on you, you must prepare for the life to come"
 The convict looked into the eyes of Judge Heflin and replied; T promise you that l will lead better life, judge" Shaffer then shook hands with the jurors and his attorneys and thanked them for what they had done for him.
 Shaffer was represented by Attor- neys Ralph Quinn and s. R. Hartley, who were appointed by the court to defend him. When the court refused to allow the confession, alleged to have been made by the defendant to Solicitor Joseph R. Tate, to be ad- mitted as evidence, 1t is contended that the states case was consider ably weakened.
 The star witness for the state was Jesse Simone, another convict, who was jointly indicted with Shaffer for the killing of Marshall. He IS all legged to have made q statement to the solicitor and told again the same story on the stand. Twenty-two con- vIcts from Banner mines were sum moned as witnesses. but several re- fused to testify when called.
 Shaffer Is serving two life terms and 40 years additional, having been convicted on two charges of murder. In one case he Aas sentenced to hang, according to officials. but the sen tence was commuted to life imprison- ment by the governor.
 He is still in the county jail and officials are of the opinion that he will not be returned to Banner, but will be sent to some other state prison camp.

We realize that we are the victims of well-organized business in- terests- Cooperative marketing Is the only weapon with which we can meet these interests on even ground.

 Forney Johnston, now in Washing ton, has been in charge of the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power company's litigation during the past administration.
