Minority Stockholders Make Stiff Protest; Are Overruled by Huge Majority Despite the protests of many mi nority share owners who declared the sale of the Pennsylvania Steel com pany to the Bethlehem Steel company' was not advantageous to the stock- ; holders, a resolution favoring liquida tion of the former corporation was, adopted yesterday at the annual meet-, ing by a vote of 272.133 shares., against 474 shares. The meeting was j I held in Camden and was one of the largest stockholders' sessions in the j [ history of the company. This interest was due to the action of Joseph H. Brandt, a preferred stockholder, who on Tuesday obtained an order restraining the company from liquidating until it had shown just cause. The case will be argued in the Unitted States District Court at Newark, N. J., on next Monday and despite the action of the majority of shareholders yesterday, Mr. Brandt was confident that he could prove the charges he made against officials of the Pennsylvania Steel. Efforts made by Mr. Brandt yester day to receive certain information met with little success, but be did succeed in obtaining the admission that shares of the common stock had been given to holders as a bonus. For half an hour Mr. Brandt quizzed Pres ident Edgar ('. Felton. Mr. Brandt |was supported in his questions by Walter S. Thomas, of Baltimore, who jsaid he owned I(10 shares of the pre ferred stock. Mr. Thomas offered a j resolution stating that the offer of the I Bethlehem Steel Company be rejected, but the motion was ruled out of or- I der. At this point Mr. Felton offered 'a resolution to the effect that it was ito the best interests of all Pennsyl vania Steel shareholders to accept the j offer and later this motion was over whelmingly successful. The vote was as follows: For the resolution, 166,441 preferred, against 450, and 105,692 common for and 24 against. Questions Valuation Mr. Brandt asked why a valuation of ss27 8-10 was placed on the com mon stock, while it was known that a standing offer of $75 per share had j been made to the shareholders for several months past. The chair re-' 1 ferred the question to Mr. Felton and jhe said he could not answer it and ; had no knowledge of it. j Mr. Brandt also asked why it was (that if an appraisal of $26,000,000 was I given as the valuation of the property of the subsidiary companies in the circular sent to the stockholders "why it was proposed to sell them at a val uation of $23,000,000. "1 would like to know," said Mr. Brandt, "whether we should not sell at a premimum rather than at a dis count." Mr. Felton answered that they were dealing with a question of book val ues and not market quotations. Mr. Brandt also asked what the surplus of $7,500,000 of the Pennsylvania Steel company was derived from. Mr. Felton said that the surplus did not belong to the holding company, but to the subsidiary companies, and he was not prepared to answer just what the sources were. FORD ACCEPTS POSITION Charles A.

The moment Iron is .supplied all their mul titude of dangerous symptoms disap pear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you any good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; another is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk: some think they have dyspep sia. kidney or liver trouble; some can't sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired ail day; some fussy and Irritable; some skinny and bloodless, hut all lack physical power and endurance. In such rases. It is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your fag ging vital powers for 'the moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on.

Mr. Bailey does not care who ate the lunch, but he's willing to pay to get back the bucket and coat.

Then teat your strength again and see for yourself how much yon have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous run down people who were ail ing all the time double, and even triple their strength and endurance and en tirely get tid of their symptoms of dys pepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form, anil this, after they had in some cases been ilortoring for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthens- and the best blood builder In the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of in organic Iron like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc., often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. Hut with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all thia has been overcome. Nuxated Iron for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and Is almost Immedi ately beneficial. NOTE The. manufacturers of Nux ated Iron have such unbounded confi dence in Its potency that thev author ize the announcement that they will forfeit SIOO.OO to any Charitable Inati tution If they cannot take any map or woman under sixty who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent, or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble.
