"Giants" Eat Iron to Get Strength to Win Physicians say efficiency of baseball team is astonish ingly increased by organic iron. It also quickly builds up pale, nervous rundown people and gives the system greatly in creased power to transform food into living matter blood, brawn and nerve force. Did you ever put wood or coal into a stove or grate, start the fire and then shut off the air (draught) and see it smolder then finally go out? Fuel cannot burn without oxygen. Neither can your body transform food into living matter —blood, brawn and nerve forcfe —without .oxygen in your blood and your blood cannot carry oxygen without iron; hence iron Is very basis of great strength and power. There should be one part of iron to every 230 of red corpuscles. "•<» It his been estimated that over seventy per cent, of our women and half our men are more or less anaemic —lack of iron in the blood. This is such a vital matter between life and death that nature has fixed a dozen alarm bells and gongs to go off and warn you of your impending danger when the iron runs too low in your blood yet most people go along and do not heed these warning bells and gongs until it is too late. That nervous, weakened, run down condition; those fits of melancholy and the "Blues": the great nervous Ir ritability that causes you to "fly all to pieces" on the slightest provoca tion; those restless lights; pains across the back; frequent headaches; that profuse perspiration inside your hands; that nervous constipation or indigestion accompanied by pale, anaerrtlc symptoms are nothing in the world but your starving blood crying out for iron, iron, more iron. German physicians have long rec ognized the great value of Iron In creating strength, power and endur ance and the sturdy Teuton soldiers are to-day fed on a diet as rich as possible in iron. The "Giants" and famous athletic teams where great strengh and endurance are required have been put on a diet rich In iron. Nature has tried to supply the de mand for iroh by putting it into a great variety of food you eat, still there are thousands of people who do not get enough or at least are -unable to assimilate it In' sufficient quanti ties, and they therefore quickly be come nervous and run-down. This is especially true of women owing to the great strain nature has placed upon them at certain periods. In such cases additional iron must be supplied. This Is best accomplished by eating (or < iking) two five grain tablets of uxated iron three times a day with or immediately after your meals. It quickly gives most surprising physical and mental Y>ower. One who has never tried it can hardly realize what great strength and endurance can be obtained by this simple treatment. Be sure to get Nuxated Iron as the older forms of ignotganlc Iron often upset the stomach and are not assimilated by the blood and therefore they some times do more harm than good. But with the newer iron preparations all thi«i has been overcome. Nuxated iron for example is not only readily assimilated and quickly makes plenty of rich, pure blood, but It is within itself a valuable stomach remedy, giv ing greatly increased power to digest food by Its wonderfully revitalizing action on the pneumograstic or great stomach nerve.—E. Sauer, M. D. NOTE: The publication of the above was authorized by the Public Health Laboratories. It is desired to Instruct weak, nervous people how to regain renewed health and vigor without the use of stimulating medicines, narcotic drugs or liquor. The nuxated Iron re ferred to by Dr. Sauer can be obtained from Croll Keller and other leading druggists In our city.—Adv. TUESDAY EVENING, QNEWS ottheS \ RAimO^S/ BANQUET CLOSING .

To Deposit $30,000,000 to Help Finance Cotton Specia< to The Telegraph Washington, D. C.. Aug. 24.—Secre tary McAdoo, of the Treasury, yester day announced through the Treasury Department from his summer home at North Haven, Me., that he would meet the British Order in Council declaring cotton absolute contraband by deposit ing, if necessary, 130,000,000 in South ern reserve banks, at Richmond, At lanta and Dallas, to enable them to as sist In nanclng the cotton crop. Mr. MrAdoo is convinced that there is no cause for alarm, and that local institu tions are prepared to do their utmost to prevent a disastrous dumping of cot ton on a falling market. He Is pre pared, he said, to deposit this cotton money without interest, and he be lieves it could be loaned to farmers at not more than 5 per cent, on cotton warehouse certificates. "Such action,' said the Department's statement on the subject, referring to Mr. McAdoo's plan to charge no Inter est on the Government deposits, ""is Justified" by the- unusual situation re specting cotton caused by the Euro pean war. He considers it his duty to use every available means in his power to help the cotton producer of the South, as it Is a matter of economic importance to the entire nation that those who have produced the cotton crop shall have a fair opportunity to dispose of It In an orderly manner and not be forced, through inability to market their cotton gradually, to sell It at sacrifice prices.
