 if you are thin and cmaciated and wish something to help you put on flesh and increase your weight, Yeast vitamine Tablets should be used in connection with organic Nuxated Iron. With outorganic iron. both food and Vitamines are absolutely useless as our body cannot change inert. lfeless food into living cells and tissue unless you have plenty of organic iron in your blood. Organic iron takes up oxygen fronfyour lungs.

United States Public Health Service
Hospital 61, better known as Fox Hills
Hospital on Staten Island. has had its
official name changed for the third
time since it's organization. The order
changing the name to the United
states Veteran Hospital Gil was re-
ceivcd yesterday The institution was
built az debarkation hospital during
the war and was originally known as
Fox Hills Base Hospital.
In 1920 ii was turned over to the
United States Public Health Service
nnd the name was accordingly changed.
The latest change has been made ber
causc of the confusion between the
United States Marine Hospital. which
is also public health service institu-
ton. The official name. however
means little to those who visit the 800
iormcr service men confined there
They viii still refer to it az Fox Kills

Huge Dividends Charged


"pcrnaps cjcw - an answer to
this may be found in the statements
cf the dividends paid by the coal COM
dividend pad in 1920 was 80 per cent,
and the same company declared anothe. .
Of 35 per cent last year.
"Mr Lcaroyd is also not stating facts
in saying that the anthracite miners
have received Increases amounting t..
I41 per cent since the beginning Of
the war. Contract miners have received
less than 70 per cent in increases over
the pre-war rate, and the lowly paid
day labor man has had his wages in
creased only from 81 to $4.20 day
the present minimum.
"Another point concerning which Mr.
Learoyd makes no mention is the ex-
treme hazard Of mine employment. The
average number Of preventable deaths
in the industry now runs TO ten a day,
or $3.50 IA year, most of them caused
by falls of coal and slate, cars, ex-
moro are permanently manned each

gard mine workers as chief among their
worst risks, second only to railroad

pany.
"The figures Of the operators demon
strate that substantial cuts can be
made in the selling price Of anthracite
without involving the necessity of re-
duclng wages to d point of starvation.
/ don't believe the public, in an attempt
to obtain cheaper coal would desire %
lower the standards Of living Of the
anthracite miners TO point below the
level Of actual sustenance."

manded for carpenters, Mr.. Murray
pointed TO the fact that carpenters in
New York City received sl.10 an hour.

"Any one who doubts this may soon
