Reader Takes Newer
Form of Iron=-FeelS
Years Younger

six weeks ago l saw a special Of
fer in the paper telling how thou
sands of people grow old in looks and
energy long before they are really old
in years, because, as examinations by
physicians have shown, an enormous
number of people 90 not nave enough
iron in their blood. I have been
taking NaXated Iron for two weeks;
the results are simply astounding.
The roses have come back in my
lips and cheeks, and I can conscien-
tiously say that l feel ten years
younger"
The above is a typical hypothetical
case showing the results that have
been achieved by great many peo-
pie since we started this "satisfac-
ton or money back offer on Nuxa-
ted Iron. We will make you the
same guarantee. If, after taking the
two weeks treatment of Nuxated
Iron. you do not feel and look years
younger. we will promptly refund
your money.
Call at once for bottle Of Nuxated
Iron at John Coughlins.

THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT

The startling nature Of the crrmi-
nal statistics in this country Is COM
ing to be perceived by thinking peo-
pie generally. But what to do about
it puzzles them. One subscriber re-
marks that he is weary with read
ing the reports of those Washington
Investigations. Asked ii he really
supposed they would result in bring
ing the guilty to book would he not
be interested, he replied: THAT
would be different. But such inves-
legations never amount to much"
Here. it seems. we cAne face TO
face with the most serious feature
Of the deplorable condition. public
indifference. Every intelligent per-
son should keep informed respecting
those Investigations and should IN
sist on definite results. Instead we
are assuming We can do nothing

Paul u. Sargent. engineer of the

give an idea of what he said for his
story. a most interesting and bust
ncSs like one, was told in statistics.
1t was q story of the Highway COM
mission from it's inception in 1913 to
December 81, 1923. and showed what
has been done towards building 1900
miles of state hiC'}--ays in Maine, so
laid out rs to give the greatest SER
vice to the crea test number of citi-
zcns. OF this 1000 miles 1860 have
already been completed. These State
arteries have been laid out in the
parts of Maine where the travel is
heaviest and the balance will be built
as soon as feasible. In addition to
this a great many miles of secondary
roads or State Aid roads have also
been built Mr.. Sargent told of what
has been done in other states in diff
fereut sections of the country and
quoted many figures. He said that
the traffic has more than doubled
wherever the state roads have been
built. He told of the differences in
the cost of building the gravel roads
ard the hard surfaced roads. and sta
tod that it cost six times as much to
maintain gravel roads than 1t does
the hard surfaces

AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN

- Undoubtedly those who are pro-
rnoting what are termed pacifist poll
: cies. disarmament, outiawing Of war,
.dtscrediting the need Of any real pre-
paredness, who would work with
those who wish to divert the money
required for the proper up-keep Of
our defenses to some pet scheme of
their constituents, have hoped much
from the support of the women.
Be this as 1t may those who have
other views are we'll advised to pre-
sent them for the consideration Of
the women. who. we teeI sure. are
DESTROYS Of hearing both sides. The
address OF Hon. Harold M. Sewall be-
fore the d. A. r.. of Maine Is a vigor-
Gus presentation Of the views which
have the endorsement OF experience
and which prevailed at the Confer
ence for the Limitation of naval ar
nnament.
Mr. :;ewall is especially qualified to
present this side OF the controversy
Before the public. By reason OF his
official position he was enabled to
know OF the inside workings of that
conference and can speak consistent
ly and practically Of actual condi-
lions. This he did. 1t Is an appeal
to common sense, OF which it is but
fair to assume the women have their
share. lie sees our national defense
IN jeopardy.
This Is no hallucination. In the
FIRST place it has always been the
habit of our country to follow the
line Of least resistance, to use for
other purposes the money absolutely
essential to the maintenance of a
suitable army and navy. Fresh from
the experience OF the war, with hat
red and fear Of war impelling them,
those men to whom, because of their
experience and proved judgment, we
would naturally look, gave of their
best in the law under which we
should have a small but efficient
standing army and trained citizen
ny capable in an emergency OF being
made n nucleus for defense of our
country. The plan did not call for
vast expenditure. the nature Of 1t was
not such as to lend Itself to militar-
ism; 1t was adapted to our needs
.-Alread:' those engaged in boring from
within are striving to starve it and
to divert youth from taking advan-
tage of the opportunities so afforded.
There II need Of frank. patriotic.
utterance and effort. Mr. Sewall Is
performing a duty, one which. unless
we over estimate the intelligence. OF
the women, will be productive OF
good.

"GIvE THE AMERICAN A SHOW"

Under the caption: "Give the
American a Show" the immigration
Restriction League issues a leaflet
calling attention to an amendment
proposed for the Immigration bill by
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. 1t
originality"
Senator Reeds proposition is that
after 1926, the total immigration
should be cut down to 100000, and
that admissions of various racial
stocks shall be apportioned in pro-
portions corresponding to the num-
bers of persons Of the various racial
stocks residing in the country in
1920, leaving out the descendants Of
slaves or involuntary immigrants.
This would practically settle the
Japanese issue without giving Of
fence, and probably would give
southern and eastern Europe about
one sixth of the total of immigra-
ton. In doing this, it would
automatically preserve our racial
status about as it Is now, and that
is what most real Americans are
calling for whatever their racial
origin"
The Legue bases It's appeal to give
the American chance on the
ground that every year million
native born are joining our army
Of workers; that their condition
should not be like that of the youth
seeking employment in a middle
western city but who finally gave 1t
up saying: I'VE could not resist the
pay in these shops and stayed as
long as we could. but no one, except
the colored men, could speak Eng
lish."
1t really isn't an alluring prospect,
industries given over to workmen
who cannot speak English and have
no desire to do so. while the youth
born and educated in this country
stands idly by looking for a. job. One
may be a little skeptical about the
number of those who really wish
for the work the foreigners are do
ing. Experience has shown that
often the foreigner does the work
which the native born do not wish
10 do. Nevertheless for the good
Of the country he should be en-
couraged to undertake such employ
ment and make good at it. This Is
not saying that he would be bet
Ter workman than the foreigner but
that in a sense he is better entitled
to an opportunity to earn a liveli-
hood in his native country than are
those from outside coming in just
for temporary employment and look
ing forward to the time when they
may return TO their homes.

BEAR ATTACKS RENEWED.

NEW YORK, April so. = Consider
able irregularity developed at the
opening of today's stock market.
The statement of Chairman Gary of
the United States Steel Corporation,
that business probably will not show
substantial improvement until around
election time, was used as an excuse
for a renewal of bear attacks, Stew
art-Warner and Yellow Cab extend
ing their early losses to about 8
points each. u. S. Cast Iron Pipe, du
Pont, Central Leather preferred, Cru
chile, Bethlehem Steel, Phillips Petro-
leum and General Electric dropped
to points, while Baldwin sagged 2 23s
Hayes Wheel, which was heavy yes
terday on the failure of the directors
TO increase the regular dividend, rail-
lied / Y points. Foreign exchanges
opened steady.
Prices steadied somewhat at the
end of the first hour and then slipped
off again, indicating that professional
traders for the decline were still in
control. Although the net earnings
of the United States Steel Corporation
were the largest of any quarter in
peace time in the first three months
of this year, apparently they failed
TO come up to speculative expecta-
tions as the steel shares were singled
out for attack. Motor shares crumbled
on publication of a relatively poor
report by Studebaker, both the old
and new stocks establishing new
1924 loss at S0h and 321h, respec-
lively. Fisher Body broke points
and Stewart Warner extended its loss
to 31a. other active motors losing a
point or more. Independent strength
was shown by Dawson Chemical,
Corn Products and International
Harvester, up to points. Rails
held relatively flrm, Norfolk & West
ern and Atlantic Coast Line advanc-
ing IL and IL, respectively. Call
money opened at Az per cent.
