foolishly seem 10 think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, secret
nostrum or narcotic drug, said Dr.
Hauer, a well-known specialist, who has
Mudlcd widely in both this country and
Lurope, when, as a matter of fact,
real and true strength can only
come from tile food you cat.
But people often fail to get the
(strength out of their food because
they iiuven'i enough iron in men uiuvu
to enable it to change total Into living
matter. From their weakened, nervous
condition llie.v know something is
wrung, bill Ihe.v can t tell wliat, so
they generally commence doctoring for
"tomach, liver or kidney trouble or
. nipUiius of some other aliment caused
by the lack of Iron In the blood. This
tiling may no on for years, while the
patient suffers untold agony. If you are
not strong or well you owe it to your
self to make the following test. See
how long you can work or liow far
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two Ave grain tablets of or
dinary nuxated Iron three times per
•lay after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 14, 1916
■ troubles 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
months without obtaining any benefit.
But don't take the old forms of reduced
iron, Iron acetate or tincture of Iron
! simply to save a few cents. You must
take iron in a form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated like nuxated
iron If you want it to do you any good,
otherwise It may prove worse than
useless. Many an athlete or prize
, tighter has won the day simply because
I he knew the secret of great strength
and endurance and tilled his blood with
.' iron before he went into the affray,
while many another has gone down to
; inglorious defeat simply for the lack
' of iron.
1 NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent
medicine nor secret remedy, but one
which is well known to druggist.* and
whose iron constituents is widely pre
scihed by eminent physicians every
where. Unlike the older inorganic iron
products, it is easily assimilated, tloes
not Injure the teeth, make them black,
nor upset the stomach; on the <ontrar>,
it is a most potent remedy, in nearly
all forms of indigestion, as well as for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
Manufacturers have such great confi
dence In Nuxated Iron that they offer
, I felt SIOO.OO to any charitable in
stitution if they cannot take any man
or woman under 60 who lacks iron and
increase their strength 200 per cent, or
over In four weeks' time provided they
have no serious organic trouble. They
also offer to refund your money if it
I does not at least double your strength
and endurance In ten days' time. It Is
dispensed in this city by ("roll Keller,
! O. A. Gorgas and all other druggists.
! BETTER STAY OUT OF MOVIES
In Farm and Fireside is a story
I about a farmhand who wanted to go
Into the movies. When lie told an
experienced friend that he contem
plated giving up work on the farm
to write scenarios and become a
' movie actor the latter replied:
"1 can't help feeling sorry for you,
somehow. You don't know what a
I foolish play you're making—wanting
to give up the farm and all for mov
ing pictures. Why. when you come
j down to cases, the farmer is the only
man in this republic who really has
■ndependene". You'd be surprised to
know the number of players in our
company who are saving up to buy
I farms. Take our leading woman, for
instance—she's crazy about farm life.
So's her husband, for that matter.

NEWS OF S
STEEL STRAIN
TO CONTINUE
Large Increase in Unfilled
Orders of Great Cor
pora lions
Ihe large increase shown in the
| Steel Corporation's unfilled orders!
points to a continuance of the present I
strain for a good many months—that j
jin the main is the judgment of the
t-ado," says the Iron Age in its week- j
I ly trade review to-day, "and there is l
little attempt to appraise the factors |
in the advance from 8,596,000 lons of
orders on February 29 to 9,331,000 j
on March 31. The heavy March rail
| orders are generally thought of, but I
it is not known what part of them is f
included.
"In the past week sales of 100,000 !
tons of rails for next year have been j
I made in (he Chicago district, including'
■IO,OOO tons for the Uock Island and ai
total of ou.ooo tons for the Northern j
Pacific. The Pennsylvania order is ex-;
poefsd to be 175,000 to 200.000 tons, j
"Tiie railroads are rapidly closing
i for I'leir track fastenings for 1917.1
Among these contracts an interesting
i one is for 10.000 kegs of oil-treated
)bo't" for th • Baltimore and Ohio.
"The French State Railways have
| bought 4.000 cars of which only 500
1 will he built in the United States. Can
i ada got the larger part and some were]
| placed in Spain. Domestic railroads!
closed in the week for about 4,500
i cars. ■
j "Pittsburgh producers have shown]
little interest in recent efforts of for
jcign buyers to place orders for billets, j
rounds and forglngs. They have sim-!
: ply had to put off considering new
| business of this character. A South- j
jern steel company has been offering I
some semifinished steel for export over j
and above the requirements of its wlrej
! plant. At New York an inquiry has
j come up for 100.000 tons of 8-inch j
j shell forgings.
"March is rated by leaders in thej
'pig iron market as the month of rec-]
lord transactions in merchant iron, j
Idata gathered from Northern and Y'ir- 1
ginia furnaces indicating over 1,000,-
000 tons sold. Prices are well held,
but the rapid advances producers have
predicted await the coming of an ur
jgent demand for spot iron such as has
( been seen at no time in the past year's
movement."
Steel Corporation Boosts
Rail Prices $5 a Ton
New York, April 14.-—The intima
tion made by Chairman E. M. Gary, of
the Steel Corporation, last week, that
railroad rail prices might be advanced
became a fact to-day, when increases'
of $5 a ton for the Bessemer and
open-hcarth products were decided
upon. After May 1 contracts placed
for rails to be delivered after May lj
1017. will be SB." a ton for open- 1
hearth and $.13 a ton for Bessemer.
'The old price of ?28 a ton for Besse- !
i iner rails has been in force for 16!
| years without any previous alteration.
The leading makers of rails outside
the corporation are the Cambria,
; Lackawanna, Bethlehem, Pennsylva
nia and Maryland Steel Companies.l
I Officers of some of these concerns

A CHILD DOESN'T
LAUGH AND PLAY
IF CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath feverish and
stomach sour?
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels.
A laxative to-day saves a sick child j
to-morrow. Children simply will not j
take the time from play to empty their !
bowels, which become clogged up with ]
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach j
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross, j
feverish, breath bad. restless, doesn't i
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore I
throat or any other children's ailment, |
give a teaspoonful of "California ;
Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, be
cause it is perfectly harmless, and in !
a few hours all this constipation l
poison, sour bile and fermenting ]
waste will gently move out of the
bowels and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough "inside cleans
ing" is ofttimea all that is necessary. 1
It should be the nrst treatment given
In any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit tig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syfttp of Figs." which
has full directions for babies, children ,
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that It is made by the "Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company." ]

tary and Roy Baumbach treasurer.
Kling is an ex-Tri-State pitcher who
knows the game and should make a
successful leader. Balmer is the
regular first baseman and captained
the Middletown team when it won
the championship of the Central
Pennsylvania league two years ago.
Baumbach is an athlete of note and
has made an enviable reputation in
several branches of sport. With the
loyal support of the fans the trio will
undoubtedly give Middletown some
h!gh-class ball this summer.
It was decided to play Independently
of any league and the management
will be glad to hear from any good
Club in this section of the State.
Every player on the team will be from
Middletown. Practice will start on
Saturday if the weather permits and
the cpening game will likely he played
Saturday, April 29.

Farmer Finds SI,OOO in

ELECTRICITY MAKES TIIE BEST
HIRE!) GIRL
In Farm and Fireside we read: "I
really need electricity, and then I'd
have a good farm," said a serious- j
minded young farmer who makes a •
special point of having things handy
for his wife. "If we had electricity it
would shorten my wife's work by one
third, and my own work nearly as !
much. Take ironing, for instance. In
summer she dislikes to have the coal
stove going, and our oil stove Is too
slow a heater for Ironing, so the work
takes nearly twice as long. An electric
iron would be dandy for her. If I had
electric lights in the barn I could save
hours in doing chores at night. And
in hot weather I could mow away my
hay in the evening when it's cool."

The Standard
in Countless Homes
Relieves Constipation Easily
Without Griping or
Discomfort.
Indigestion and constipation aro two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause of much physical suffering.
The tendency to Indulge one's appe
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaxed organs
of digestion and elimination. A
pleasantly effective remedy, that will
quickly relieve the congestion of
poisonous stomach waste and restore
regularity, is the compound of simple
laxative herbs sold in drug stores for
fifty cents a bottle under the name of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is
a mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, and
has been the standard household rem
edy in thousands of homes for many
years.
Jlrs. Oliver Young:, Merrill, Wis.,
writing to Dr. Caldwell, says, she
knows of nothing so effective for
regulating the stomach and bowels;
since taking Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, she feels ten years younger;
her work seems easier and she has
regained her appetite.

A Talk to Mothers About
Croup and Cold Troubles
The New Treatment With Fresh Air and Anti
septic Vapors That Does Away With Injurious
Internal Medicines, Flannel Jackets, etc., etc.
All mothers are "home doctors"
when it comes to treating the croup
and cold troubles that all children
are heir to. They know that grow
ing children need outdoor exercise,
and that, with outdoor exercise,
some colds are bound to come.
They know, too, that internal med
icines injure delicate little stom
achs, but that these colds must
have some kind of treatment.
The answer to this problem Is
the "external" treatment, Vick's
Vap-O-Rub" Salve. For the
many forms of cold troubles, from
head colds, asthma and catarrh,
down to sore throat, bronchitis and
deep chest colds Vick's will be
found better than internal medi
cines. Just apply Vick's well over
the throat and chest, covering with
a warm flannel cloth. Leave the
covering loose around the neck so
