A STRANGE ANOMALY
The United States produced 17,000 new millionaires the last two years,
according to Information disseminated by the Treasury Department. In the
face of the undue privations experienced during’ the recent war many people
will ask how it is that so much b.e accumulated honestly during a time
when the masses were ifenled the privilege of eating what they wanted, and
when men were especially appointed by the administration to see that the
strictest economy was practiced by the people. Rightly, this money belongs
to the people from wichh it was wrung by extortionate prices, and it should
be confiscated. The men who came out of this war a millionaire was an
arch-enemy and a double-dyed traitor and should be treated as such.—Ex.
PEN POINT8 OP THE PRESS
There are only three places where the climate is perfect—heaven, this
country and in a real estate office.
Although this is a free country It is not a bad idea not to be too
independent to do a day’s work occasionally.
Having the other fellow, call your bobtail flush Is not the most dis
astrous handbolding stunt that c&a be put on.

NI3W Voltlv, N. Y.-7-’’One glance
is enough to tell which people have
iron in their blood,” said Dr. 13, Sauer,
.t iioston physician wlio has studied
widely both in this country and
in Great Kuropean medical institu
tions, in a recent discourse. They are
the ones that do and dare. The others
art; in tho weakling class. Sleepless
nights spent worrying over supposed
ailments, constant dosing with habit
forming drugs and narcotics for ner
vous weakness, stomach, liver or kid
ney disease and useless attempts to
brace up with strong coffee or other
stimulants are what keep them suffer
ing and'vainly longing to be strong.
Their real trouble is lack of iron in the
blood. W ithout iron the blood has no
power to change food into living tis
sue and therefore, nothing you eat
docs you uny good; you don’t get the
strength out of it. The moment iron
Is supplied the multitude cf danger
ous symptoms disappear. I have seen
dozens of nervous, rundown people
wlio are ailing all the time, double
and even triple their strength and en
durance and entirely get rid of every
sign of dyspepsia', liver and other
trouble In from ten to fourteen days’
time simply by taking Iron in the
proper form. And this, after they had
in some cases been doctoring for
month without any benefit.
If you are not strong or well you

ing test: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk wlthcut be
coming 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. There is nothing
like good old iron to put color In your
cheeks and sound, healthy ilesh on
your bones. But you must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed
and assimilated like nuxated Iron 1
, you want it to do you any good,
! otherwise it may prove worse than
.useless.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. E. Sauer, is one of the
newer organic iron compounds. Ua.
like the older inorganic iron products,1
it is easily assimilated, does not in-1
jure the teeth, make thorn black, nor
I upset the stomach; on the contrary, It
is a most potent remedy, ia nearly
I all forms of Indigestion, s well as for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
Manufacturers havo such great confi
dence in Nuxated Iron that thoy of

institution If they cannot take any man
or woman under 60 who lacks iron

cent or over In four weeks’ time pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. They also offer to refund
your money if It does not at least
double your strength and endurance in
ten days’ time. It Is dispensed In this
