ALL NEWS OF T PENNSY BIDS FOR SOFT COAL Will Furnish Cars if Opera tors Agree on Certain Price; Heads Confer Philadelphia, June 26. What vir tually amounts to a proposition that the Pennsylvania Railroad will buy about 6.000,000 tons of soft coal at $2.85 per gross ton at the mine is about to be laid before operators of mines in Pennsylvania Railroad terr ritopy as the result of a conference held yesterday. About seventy-Jive producers and shippers over the Penn sylvania system met in the Bellevue- Stratford for the sole purpose of tak ing concerted action against the method of placing cars at the mines. According to the statements of these operators, it has been the custom of the railroad to place cars during the last three days of each week for its own coal supply only. It was said that the operators had become convinced that refusal to load on the last three days of each week was impracticable, and that in the in terests of getting a car supply for the first three days they have been loading for the railroad at prices set by the railroad officials. These prices, it was said, were as much as $2.50 a ton be low the market. The trouble, it was said, arose from | Olivets Picnic to Hershey Park | Tomorrow 1 rakjj # Everybody Welcome—Motor Trucks Leave Derry and Kittatinny Sts. 7.30 and 10 A. M.

GENTLEMEN: I have often said I would never recommend medi cine of any kin.d. I believe that the doctor's place. However, after the hardest political campaign of my life, without a chance for a vacation, I had been starting to court every morning with that horrible tired feeling one cannot describe. I was advised to try Nuxated Iron. As a pioneer in the_ food and drug legislation I was at tirst loath to try an ad vertised remedy, but after advising with my medical friends, I gave it a test. The results have been so beneficial in my own case, I made up my mind to let my friends know about it, and you are at liberty to publish this statement if you so desire. I am now 65 years of age and I feel thafr a remedy which will build up the strength and increase the power of endurance of one at my age, should be known to the world. Tours very truly, Senator Mason's statement in regard to Nuxated Iron was shown to sev eral physicians who were requested to give their opinions thereon. Dr. Howard James, late of The Manhattan State Hospital of New York and formerly Assistant Physi cian Brooklyn State Hospital, said: "Senator Mason is to me commended on handing out this statement on Nuxated Iron for public print. There are thousands of men and women who need a strength and blood-builder but do not know what to take. There is nothing like organic Iron—Nuxated Iron —to give Increased strength, snap, vigor and staying power. It enriches the blood, brings roses to the checks of women and is an unfailing source of renewed vitality, endurance and power for men who burn up too rap idly their nervous energy in the stren uous strain of the great business competition of the day." Fornior Health Commissioner Wil liam R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced Its health giving and strength-building effect, and in the Interest of public.welfare I feel It my duty to make known the resuits of its use. I am well past my threescore years, and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due to-day to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. Krotn my own experience with Nuxated Iron, 1 feel it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every phy sician in this country." Dr. E. Sauer. a Boston physician who has studied abroad in great European medical institutions, said: "Senator Mason is right. As I have said a hundred times over, organic Iron is the greatest of all strength bulldeis."

If you have been using the old forms of metallic iron, without success- if yon have had patients complain of discolored teeth, upset stomachs, hardened, tied-up secretions! etc from the use of metallic: iron, again we suggest, try Nuxated Iron.

In most cases physicians direct the u*e of. tlio two live-grain tablets throe times ncr dav aiw * TUESDAY EVENING, the fact that the Pennsylvania Rail' road, which last year consumed about 11,000,000 tons and which this year will require about 13,000,000 tons, has contracted for a little less than 7,000,- 000 tons for delivery over the coal year beginning April 1. The failure to contract before April 1 was due to the fact that the railroad declined to pay the coal men's prices, which were said yesterday to have been about $2.65 per gross ton. The result was that on April 1 the road had covered on about half of its needs, and has since added some small tonnages. I'ennny Will Help The present method of procuring fuel for its needs worked such a hard ship. in the view of operators, that the meeting was held yesterday and a committee was named to confer with the railroad authorities. This com mittee saw the railroad heads, and while the committee was in no posi tion to close for any definite tonnage from any operator its members were able to obtain a statement from the railroad men that if operators not now holding railroad contracts would fur nish the additional 6,000,000 tons re quired by the road at $2.85 gross the railroad would entertain the proposi tion and discontinue the present method of placing cars the last three days of each week. CALLS ON IiIEUT. GOVERNOR Miss Kathryne Frlck, the deaf and dumb ward of the state, grateful for the aid given her In helping overcome her affliction, last night called on Lieutenant Governor Mc- Clain and thanked him for his e forts on her behalf. Miss Frlek is spending the summer with her par ents In this city. ' ' with the blood pressure 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, notwith standing his age. The secret, lie said, was taking organic iron—Nuxated Iron had lliled him with renewed life. At thirty he was in bad health; at forty-six he was careworn unci nearly all in. Now at fifty, after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely neces sary to enable your blood to change your food Into living tissue. With out it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you be come weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron." Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical infor mation or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But In the case of Nuxated Iron 1 feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention It. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to in crease their strength, power and -en durance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which was used by Senator Mason with suoll surprising results and which is pre scribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, Is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists, and whose Iron constituents are widely prescribed bv eminent physicians both in Kurop'e and America. Unlike the older Jnor ganlc Iron products it is easily assim ilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary. It Is a most potent remedy In nearly all form of inaiges- Hon as well as ror no.rvous, run-down POLICE HEAD GETS KNOCKOUT Home From Honeymoon, He Is Given Handsome Silver Set Captain of Police Paul L. Barclay of the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania Railroad was knocked speechless late yesterday afternoon when held up by members of his own force. Harry C. Baum, assist ant division operator of the Phila delphia division .delivered the solar plexus blow when he presented the captain with a handsome silver set. It was a gift from the department. Captain Barclay was married re cently. He has been on a honey moon and has been in Philadelphia and attended the annual meeting of the National Association of Chiefs of Police. Yesterday Captain Barclay an.d his bride returned home. He did not get to his office until 2.30, when he found the allied forces in possession of his office. Welcome For Chief Spokesman Baum welcomed the captain home and after referring to the popularity of the Pennsy's chief of police and the good work he is From the Congressional Direc tory published by the United States Government- "Win. E. Mason, Sen ator from Illinois, was elected to the 50th Congress in 1887, to the 51st Congress in 1891—defeated for the 52nd Congress 1892 —Elected Senator to the 55th Congress 1897 to 1903." Senator Mason Is now Congress man from the State of Illinois. Senator Mason's championship of Pure Food and Drugs legislation, his tight for the rural free delivery system, and his strong advocacy of all bills favoring labor and the rights of the masses as against trusts and combines, make him a national figure at Washington and endeared him to the hearts of the workingman and the great masses of people throughout the United States. Senator Mason has the dis tinction of being one of the really big men of the nation. His strong endorsement of Nuxated Iron must convince anv intelligent thinking reader that it must be a prepara tion of very great merit and one which the Senator feels is bound to be of great value to the masses of people everywhere, otherwise he could not afford to lend his name to it especially after his strong ad vocacy of pure food and drugs legislation. conditions. The manufacturers have such groat confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit SIOO.OO to any charitable institution if they can not take any man or woman under sixty who lacks Iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent, or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time It Is dispensed in this city by Croll Keller G. A. Gorgas, J. Nelson Clark and all' good druggists. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH doing: Mr. Baum presented Captain Barclay In behalf of the officers and clerks with a handsome silver set. It was encased in a large mahogany chest. Captain Barclay just couldn't talk for five minutes. He has been in tight places before but this was like a solar plexus blow. When he found his power of speech had returned he thanked the members of the de partment, and said it was gratifying to know that one had friends and appreciated the warm welcome and handsome gift.
