The above Is hypothetical case. which
physician says may well illustrate thou
sands which exist today. Homes are
wrecked. children ruined, all Through ex-
hausted nerve force. Very few people
realize the terrible physical and mental
fortunes often caused by depletion of
the nervo-vital fluid.
In such cases. what you need is to nut
more force into your nerves and more
iron In your blood. This is best ac-
complished by the use of Nuxated Iron
This valuable product contains the prin-
cipal chemical constituent of active liv-
ing nerve force In a form which most
nearly resembles that in the nerve and
brain cells OF man,
It also contains organic iron like the
Iron IN your 4 blood and like the iron In
spinach. lentils and apples. This form OF
iron will not blacken nor inJure the teeth
nor upset the stomach. It Is an entirely
different thing from metallic iron which
people usually take. Nuxated Iron may
therefore be termed both blood and
nerve food.
Over four million people are using Nux-
ated Iron annually. and from the remark

Local Theatre
Manager Predicts
Lower Admission Price

The recent decision of the Famous
Players Lasky Corporation to sus-
pend operations in their studios I'M
til production costs reach common
sense level win not affect the bills at
the Opera house or the Colonial thea
tire in the slightest according to
James MCGEE manager. OF both
houses. n
Mr.. MCGEE stated Wednesday that
there are at the present time TOO
feature pictures on the market so
that IL production were stopped en-
tirely, there would be two feature
pictures day for the next year.
Then too. there are foreign pictures
which are now coming into this cotlri-
try and competing with the American
films. In England and Germany they
can now make fine pictures for q
small fraction of what they cost here.
Speaking of the cost Of the pic
lures to the theatres Mr.. MCGEE said
that they are costing so much more
than they should that 1t is impossible
to put the price Of the shows down to
where 1t really should be. He said
that this move on the part Of this
large corporation would probably
tend to lower salaries and other costs
so that the theatre owners could give
the public good pictures at more rea-
sonable prices.
