"This is the famous "reason" for the popularity of Grape-Nuts as an article of diet, viz., that it fur nishes this very course of training for the digestion. It not only furnishes the natural diastase for the process of digestion, but it favors a return to normal digestive function because the firm, crisp kernels compel thorough mastication.

The portrayal of the city will In clude all the historical features, places of local interest, civic activity, the various State, city and public buildings and various departments; Harrlsburg's i park system and the leading Industrial concerns and retail stores. The plan Is to plcturize Harrisburg from a civic, and industrial standpoint. There will be plenty of human inter est blended in the picture which will be from three to four reels in length and all subjects will be presented in such a manner as to form a very In teresting and educational fllm and at the same time to afford a means of considerable publicity to the city. Harrisburg is one of tne twelve leading , cities selected in Pennsylvania ana when the picture is completed it will be shown at one of the leading theater* here for one week as well as through out the county and will then be sent over a special circuit of over 1200 institutions comprising Y. M. C. A.'s, churches, schools, colleges and other educational institutions throughout the country. After all the twelve cities are completed they will be grouped to gether and revised as one composite pic ture representative of the State of Pennsylvania and circulated over the motion picture circuit throughout the United States, as part of a series of •'Home Travels." The Falrite Film Company have filmed a number of the larger cities and In the Pennsylvania group. Lancaster and Willlamsport were recently completed and are now being exhibited. A film of this kind embracing all the subjects enumerated above and showing besides all the prin cipal advantages offered by this city from an industrial and residential point of view can be utilized by the city authorities advantageously before con vention committees In other cities, also industrial site commissions and at fairs and many other public gatherings. It will be about ten days before the necessary arrangements can be com pleted and all subjects properly tabu lated and before the actual work of photography will be started and Har risburg has so much of State and local interest that the picture should be of unusual interest not dnly at home but to the country at large.

Take Nobody's Say-so—Your Nose Knows It's your taste that has to be pleased. What suits another man may not suit you. Why take other people's say-so ? Why try first one tobacco and then another when your nose knows —in a minute —Just which is your tobacco. Make this test —it never fails. Rub a little TUXEDO between your palms, long enough for the friction to bring out the full aroma, and smell it. Put other tobaccos to the same test. Only one —TUXEDO —will come through it satisfactorily—convincingly. Only one TUXEDO has the volume and sweetness of fragrance that prove supreme flavor, mildness and satisfaction. Make the test. Then smoke TUXEDO—aII you want—all day long. You won't be disappointed. There won't be any come-back—your nose knows.

Astonishing Power of Iron to Give Strength to Broken Down Nervous People Pbysfelun Says Ordinary Nn*i«*e«l Iron Will lucreane Strength of Delicate Folk ZOO Per Cent, In T»o Weeks' Time In Many Instance*. NEW YORK. N. Y —ln a recent dis course Dr. E. Sauer, a. well known Spe cialist who has studied widely both in this country and Europe, said: 'lf you were to make an ac tual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly aston ished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron Is supplied all their multi tude of dangerous symptoms disappear. 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 gen erally 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 dyspepsia, kid ney or liver trouble; soms can't sleep at night; others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack phy sical power and endurance. in such cases it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or .larcotlc drugs, which only whip up your lag ging vital powers for the moment, may be at the expense of- your life later on. No matter what any one tells you, if you are not strong and well you owe it to yourself to make the following I test: See how long you can work or 1 how far you can walk without becom | ing tired. Next take two five-grain i tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three EXPECT HALF OF NAMES ON PETITION TODAY [Continued From First Page] yesterday. The last opportunity will be given on August 31, after which City Clerk Miller and R. Ross Seaman, his assistant, will go over the signa tures to see whether all of the men are qualified electors. I Plans are being made by the strik ing carmen for another big parade to morrow night, forming at 7.45 o'clock at Front and Market streets. The Commonwealth band will furnish the music and all labor organizations of the city have been Invited to par ticipate. President Hugh L. McLaughlin and John J. Thorpe, international vice I president, issued a statement last night appealing to all voters of Har | risburg to sign the Jitney petition so { that Council will be compelled to act. | The offer of free transportation was I again made by the union men. Yesterday 593 of the 1,751 necessary signatures required were obtained. Jitney drivers were kept busy all day 1 hauling the many voters free of ! charge. At noon 236 were signed up, | but in the afternoon the number in creased gradually. Strike leaders are confident that they will obtain the re- I quired number. times per day after meals f'.r two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down peoplo who were ailing all the time, double, and even triple their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking Iron In the proper form, and thic, after they had In some cases been doctoring for months without obtain ing 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 llko 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 strengthener and the best blood builder In ttie world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inor ganic 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. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic Iron all this 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 they author ize the announcement that they will forfeit SIOO.OO to any Charitable Insti tution if they cannot take any man or woman under sixty who lacks iron and increafec their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious Organic trouble. Also they will refund your money In any case in which Nuxated Iron does not at least double your strength in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by Croll Keller, G. A. Gorgas and all other druggists.—Advertisement. 1 EXPECTS MERCURY TO GO TO 100 TODAY [Continued From First Page] ported In Harrisburg yesterday.
