vlTuxated Iron to Make New Age of
Beautiful Women and VigorouslronMen
Say Physicians—Quickly Puts Roses Into the Cheeks of Women and Most Astonishing
Youthful Vitality Into the Veins of Men—lt Often Increases the Strength
and Endurance of Delicate, Nervous "Run-Down" Folks
100 Per Cent, in Two Weeks' Time
Opinion of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New Vork tity.
NEW YORK. X. V. Since the re
markable discovery of organic iron.
Nuxated Iron or "Fer Nuxate," as the
French call it. has taken the country
by storm. It is conservatively estimat
ed that over three million people annu
ally are taking it in this country alone.
Most astonishing results are reported
from its use by botli physicians and lay
men. So much so that doctors predict
that we shall soon have a new age of
far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked wo
men and vigorous iron men.
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Phy
sician and Medical Author, when inter
viewed on this subject, said: "There
can be no vigorous iron men without
iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia
means Iron deficiency. The skin of
anaemic men and women is pale; the
flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone;
the brain fags and the memory fails
and often they become weak, nervous,
irritable, despondent and melancholy.
When the iron goes from the blood of
women, the roses go from their cheeks.
"In the most common foods of
America, the starches, sugars, table
syrups, candies, polished rice, white
bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni,
spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, deger
minated cornmeal, no longer is iron to
be found. Refining processes have re
moved the iron of Mother Earth from
these impoverished foods, and silly
methods of hom cookery, by throwing
down the waste pipe the water in which
our vegetables are cooked, are respon
sible for another grave iron loss.
"Therefore, if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
old age. you must supply the iron defi
ciency in your food by using some form
of organic iron, just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough
salt."
Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied both in this country and
in great European medical institutions,
said: "As I have said a hundred times
over, organic iron is the greatest of all
strength builders. If people would onlv
take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak
or rundown, instead of dosing them
selves with habit-forming drugs, stimu
lants and alcoholic beverages I am con
vinced that in this way they could ward
off disease, preventing it becoming or
ganic in thousands of cases and there
by the lives of thousands might be sav
ed who now die every year from pneu
monia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart
trouble and other dangerous maladies
The real and true cause which started
their disease was nothing more nor less
than a weakened condition brought on
by lack of iron in the blood.
"Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina
tion for life insurance. I was aston
ished'to find him with the blood pres
sure of a boy of twenty and as full of
vigor, vim and vitality as a young man;
in fact, a young man he really was, not
withstandine his age. The secret, he
said, was taking iron—Nuxated Iron
, had filled him with renewed life. At
30 he was in bad health: at 46 he was
careworn and nearly all in. Now at 50
after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of
vitality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely
necessary to enable your blood to
change food into living tissue. Without
it, no matter how much or what you
eat, your food merely passes through

patients complain of discolored teeth, upset stomachs, hardened, tied-up secretions, etc, from the use of metallic
iron, again we suggest, try Nuxated Iron. Nuxated Iron will be furnished by any druggist on an absolute

grain tablets three times per day after meals.
TUESDAY EVENING,
RADICAL CHANGES URGED BY
ECONOMY COMMISSION REPORT
Reorganization of State Departments to Benefit Taxpayers
Is Suggested in Report to Assembly
Many radical changes are recom
mended in the report of the Economy
and Efficiency Commission, which was
submitted to the Legislature last night
after a two years' survey, of the work
ings of the State government and a
study of government in other states.
The commission states that the re
port. in effect, Is a plan for the reor
ganization of the various departments,
bureaus and commissions into such a
coherent and connected whole as will
minimize parallelism and duplication
of effort; reduce, if possible, the bur
dens of government to the taxpayer by
the centralization and unification of
management. The report is not a plan
for immediate execution in all its de
tails, but a general and comprehensive
one. toward which all executive action,
legislative enactment and constitution
al retoria should proceed. ,
Ki.'.OOO H \enr For the Governor
Simplification of the Governor's du
ties by eliminating the service requir
ed of him on numerous boards and
commissions is suggested. It is propos
ed that the Governor's salary be in
creased from 110,000 to $25,000 a year:
that the Constitution bo amended so
that the next Governor elected shall
serve for five years and thus bring his
successor into office In even numbered
years, between sessions of the General
Assembly, or amend the Constitution so
that the General Assembly in the fu
ture shall meet in the even numbered
years instead of in the odd numbered
years.
The present system of collecting and
disbursing the State's money is de
clared to be defective in many respects.
It is recommended that to protect the
State funds the Constitution should be
amended so that no money can be paid
out of the State Treasury except under
terms of an act of Assembly appropri
ating a specific sum to a specific pur
pose.
The creation of a board of public
findnce is recommended, the members
to be Auditor General. State Treasurer,
Secretary of the Commonwealth, Attor
ney General and Commissioner of
applying freezone or afterwards. It
doesn't even irritate the skin.
Just ask in any drug store for a
small bottle of freezone. This will
cost but a few cents but will positively
rid your poor, suffering feet of every
hard corn, soft corn, or corn between
the toes, or the tough calluses on
bottom of feet. Genuine freezone is
only sold in those tiny bottles and
each packed in a round, wood case.
Don't accept it unless it is in a round,
wood case.
you without doing you any good. You
don't get the strength out of it, and as
a consequent you become weak, pale
and sickly looking, just like a plant
trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron.
If you are not strong or well, you owe it
to yourself to mane the tollowing test:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets of or
dinary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. I have seen
dozens of nervous, run-down people
who were ailing all the while double
their strength and endurance and en
tirely rid themselves of all symptoms
of dyspepsia, liver and other 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 with
out obtaining any benefit. Rut don't
take the old forms of reduced iron, iron
acetate, or tincture of iron simply to
save a few rents. The iron demanded
by Mother Nature for the red coloring
matter in the blood of her children is.
alas! not that kind of iron. You must
take iron in a form that can be easilv
absorbed and assimilated to do you
any good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. Many an athlete and
prizefighter has won the day simplv be
cause he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood with Iron before he went into the
affray; while many another has gone
down in inglorious defeat simply for
the lack If iron."
Dr. Schuyler C. Jaoues, Visiting Sur
geon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New
Banking, to supersede • the present
boards of Public Accounts. Revenue
Commissioners and Sinking Fund Com
missioners.
A budget system is recommended to
be applied by a commission consisting
of the Governor, the chairman of the
Appropriation# Committee of the Sen
ate or House in the preceding session,
the Attorney General and the Auditor
General.
Seek Equalization of Salaries
Equalization of salaries is rccom
j mended throughout the entire State
! government.
I To take charge of the expenditure of
; $35,000,000 a year the creation of a
board of public-works is reoommended
i to supersede separate department
| boards and commissions. The board
shall consist of the Governor. Auditor
| General, State Treasurer, Budget Com-
I mission and a Superintendent of. Pu|>-
i lie Works, to be appointed by the Gov
-1 ernor. It would have complete juris
diction over all State property.
The suggestion that a bond issue of
$100,000,000, to be spent for great im
provements on waterways and the har
| bors during a period of ten years is
advanced for consideration. Statistics
are given to show that every dollar ex
pended for the development of water
way facilities in Philadelphia. Pitts
burgh and Erie will be returned a hun
dredfold in the future. Such improve
ment work would be delegated to the
Board of Public Works.
The creation of a Department of Con
servation is suggested, and the com
mission would merge intx) this depart
ment the Water Supply Commission,
the Forestry Commission and the Fish
and Game Commission. The commission
would wipe out duplication in the De
partment of Agriculture, transfer the
pure food work to the Department of
Health and the dairy inspection work
to the State veterinarian.
Concerning printing, the commission
recommends that printing for State in
stitutions be regulated, as is the print
ing for State departments. Annual re
ports should be eliminated in favor of
biennial reports for economy.
Extension of the Department of
Banking is desired by the creation of
a number of new positions. The Leg
islative Reference Bureau would be
given the work now done by the Com
mission to Investigate Laws, and to
codify laws now entrusted to commis
sions.
The Board of Elevated and Under
ground Railways should be abolished,
and its duties transferred to the Pub
lic Service Commission.
Abolition of the Gettysburg Monu
ment and Memorial Commission also is
recommended.
extensions of production effort
by State institutions is recommended.
When the report was read In the
Senate Senator Sproul recommended
that it be spread on the journal and
500 copies printed. This will be done.
SOO ATTEND UECEPTIOV
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles held its second
annual reception at the headquarters
last night. More than 300 guests
were present.
York City, said: "I have never before
given out any medical Information or
advice for publication as I ordinariiv
do not believe In it. But in the case
of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be re

have taken it myself and given it to
my patients with most surprising and
satisfactory results. And those who
wish to increase their strength, power
and endurance will find it a most re
markable and wonderfully effective
remedy."

RUSSIA PREPARES
FOR SEA ATTACK
Fortress Made Ready With;
Feverish liaste For Ex
pected Assault
By Associated Press
Kronstadt, April 10.—Kronstadt is |
j feverishly preparing to repel an ex- j
pected German naval attack when the I
j Gulf of Finland is free of ice. A cor- J
respondent of the Associated Press
reached the famous island fastness by
traveling over the vast ice waste which
separates it from the mainland and
found the garrison working night and
day in anticipation of the long-pre
dicted assault.
The fortress is entirely controlled
by a council elected by the troops,
which is unanimously resolved to de
fend Russian freedom and territory to
tho last. The council Is equally reso
lute against lighting for the annexa
tion of foreign territory. One mem
ber of the council said that as long as j
Germany was unwilling to abandon !
its plans of annexation there was j
nothing to do but tight. He said that
everything possible had been done to
put the defenses of the fortress in
first class order and that the strong
hold wag as strong to-day as ever.
An Impressive sight is offered the j
viistor to Kronstadt from the walls
after dark. At every half mile along
the tracks across the Ice bonlires flare j
and In their gleam the red flags of the !
revolution can be seen faintly wav- I
ing. Around the lires the revolution- !
ary soldiers chant the new revolution
ary hymn and cheer for the coming of
the Russian republic.
DRUG HABIT SENDS
HUNDREDS TO RUIN
[Continued From First Page]
J|
ARCHIBALD MACKRELL
Pittsburgh Man Who Made Appeal
For Antidrug Legislation Today
tails are so sordid, so pathetic, so hor
rible."
j So declared Archibald Mackrell,
| civilian aid of the Pittsburgh Depart -
j ment of Safety, at a hearing before
the Public Health Committee of the
I House this afternoon. Continuing he
! said:
"It Is because the effect of the drug
; habit upon the life of a community
is so terrible, that the public is kept
in ignorance regarding it. The news
papers could not afford to print the
story of it all out of consideration for
its readers, and I assure you gentle
men, I would not be here before you
now endeavoring to enlighten you on
the subject, were it not for the fact
that I feel it Is my duty as a public
official to lay bare the facts and seek
a remedy at your hands.
Dangerous to Conununit.v
"The drug liend is dangerous to a
community because the ilrst thing the
drug does Is to make a sneak out of
him. Not until he is a complete phy
sical and mental wreck will he admit
that he is a slave to the habit, and he
only makes that admission then be
cause ho fears he is about to be plac
ed in restraint where he will be de
prived of the drug. Once the slave
realizes his habit is knoxyn then he
makes no effort to conceal it. Walk
into any of the cheap poolrooms of a
large city and you will tind draped in
chairs along the wall, pale-faced, hol
low-chested boys. Not men, but boys
who ought to be home with their par
ents, but instead are hanging about
waiting for a chance o beg, borrow,
or steal enough to buy a few grains
of white powder. One sniff of which
will straighten up the drooping shoul
ders, throw out the sunke nchest and
bring color back to the faded cheeks.
But for how long? Only for a few
hours and then the misery is greater
I than ever. They sell tho last stitch
jof decent clothing on them and walk
(about in rags for the privilege of liv-
I Ing again for a few hours. They rob
their parens. X have known them to
steal furniture from the house and
sell It to get some of the drug."
The House committee held the hear
ing in the Senate caucus rooms to
learn of the various drug bills before
the Legislature.
Senator Vare, Representative Sam
uel Whittaker, of Chester; Represen
tative Theodore Campbell, of Phila
delphia, and Representative John C.
Sullivan, of Allegheny, have bills on
drugs and all will appeal before the
committee. Mr. Mackrell is interested
in the Sullivan bill, but wants to see
rigid legislation of any kind against
the drug habit.
Harrowing Talc
Captain Mackrell told a borrow
ing tale from his own personal experi
ence with hundreds of drug tiends,
young and old, of both sexes during
his police work In Pittsburgh. Much
of his recital was of an unprintable
character, but graphically depicted the
awful conditions following the use of
heroin, morphine and other habit
forming drugs. All over the State he
said this condition exists and he made
an earnest plea for the enactment of
legislation that will wipe out the evil.
No more vigorous indictment of the
evil of drug using or a more eloquent
appeal for its abatement was ever
heard at the Capitol.
PIUKST OFFERS SI,OOO TO TRAIN

Scranton, Pa., April 10.—An offer of
SI,OOO was made yesterday by the Uev,
W. P. O'Donnell, pastor of the Holy
Cross Church, Bellevue, toward the

In explaining the offer, he said that
he believes the boys of Bellevue, who
will be called to the colors, should have

and that he Is willing t? give |IOOO to

STATE'S WAR FUND PROBLEM
STILL REMAINS UNSOLVED
The question of' who shall handle
the war funds of the State remained
undecided last night after a long con
ference between Governor Brum
baugh and Senators McNlchol, Crow,
Sproul and and C. A. Snyder. Until
some decision is reached no action will
be taken on the bills introduced in
the Legislature last week appropriat
ing $2,000,000 for defensive purposes
in the present emergency.
The Governor refused to accept this
and presented replies from officials
of 20 States east of the Mississippi
Kiver to show that the general prac
tice is to appropriate the money to
the Governor, and that official is given
a free hand in Its expenditure.
Two Senators refused to give the
Governor this authority, Insisting that
the Legislature proposed to appro
priate a large sum, and that as its ex
penditure would cover items In
a defense program, a "war board"
should be created to dispose of it.
They argued that this could result in
a more intelligent distribution of the
fund, as no one man could be expect
ed to keep in touch with the many
demands that were certain to, be made
upon the State.

CONSCRIPTION PLAN
IS MUCH OPPOSED
[Continued From First Pac]
strongly ho believes the United States
should not upply the volunteer sys
tem In raising a big army for use
against Germany. He made a similar
personal appeal yesterday to Chair
man Dent, of the Military Committee,
who does not favor conscription.
There was considerable talk to-day
of a compromise to be presented by
opponents of compulsory service and
although the administration recog
nizes this possibility, no hint was
given that it will recede from its in
sistence on conscript.on. Chairman
Dent declared it would be at least a
week before a bill of any sort is re
ported from his committee.
In the Senate an amendment to
the army appropriation bill not
passed at the last session authorizing
the President to call volunteers in
lots of 500,000 each, is pending, but
probably will be disposed of on a
point of order. It was offered by
Senator Klrby of Arkansas, yesterday
when debate on the draft plan was
injected into discussion of the army
appropriation bill.
TO HOLD PACKAGE PARTY
John Harris Council, Knights of
Pythias, will hold a package party
Monday night in Pythian Hall, Union
Square. The proceeds will go to the
Ked Cross Society. Following a short
business session the packages will be
