in freight rates over existing tariffs. ]
Every ono conversant with present

(Signed) PAUL I.ITTI.EFIELD,
Cenerat Secretary.
It is generally felt by the business
community that the railroads have
not had sufficient revenue to keep
pace with the growth of the indus
tries of the country in providing
tiansportatibn facilities. The high
cost of fuel during the past two years
and also the advance in supplies lead
i(S to believe that it hardly seems
possible that the Commission at this
critical period in the history of our
country when we are at war with
the greatest and most efficient mili
tary despotism the world has ever
witnessed, should refuse any reason
able request of -the railroads for fair
freight rates.

FRENCH HONOR
FIRST GUN FIRED
BY U. S. UNIT
Children Place Wreath of
Flowers on Grim Barrel of
"Gun For Germans"
With the American Army in
France, Wednesday, Nov. 7.—The
first American artillery unit to es
tablish contact with the Germans
came back to its billits to-day. The
men were tired and muddy but still
an enthusiastic lot of soldiers as
ever came out of gun pits. Their
stay at the front was longer than
that of the infantry.
Their "homeccoming" was one
that will long be remembered in
this section of France. It was late
in the day when long lines of march
ing Soldiers and straining horses
were seen rounding a small moun
tain many miles away. From the
village toward which they were
marching the column could be seen
winding around the mountain to the
valley, up on a nearer hill and then
down again. The rain was beating
in their faces and a village snuggled
in a valley came into their view as
they crossed the crest of the hill.
Below them stood a group in uni
form. Above the group floated the
American flag and a number of
children wore gathered about. Sud
denly Oie band—for the group of
uniforms was a band— started a
tune that brought a smile to the
face of even the most tired artillery
man in the column. It was "The
Campbells Are Coming." Some of
the artillery cheered and the bearer
of the red battery pennqnt'j raised
themselves in their saddles ;ind
waved the pennants.
The entire command was imme
diately drawn up in a hillside and a
gun, covered with camouflage paint
was drawn out in front. On the
gun shield an ' artilleryman had
written in chalk: "The first fcur. for
the Germans." The colonel in com
mand spoke to ono of the towns
people a moment and addressing the
men told them the people of the vil
lage wished to do honor vo the gun
and its crew and to the American
Army. The children gathered
around and placed u floral wreath
over the grim barrel and a bunch
of wild flowers inside the empiy
case of the first shot fired. The regi
mental band played the American
ant' French national anthems.
That was all the ceremony but the
sight of Americans returning from
combat with the Germans, cheered
ths populace of the villag so that
when the troopers dismounted many
olil men and many Women cstme up
to thchi either to shake hands or to
put their arms affectionately around
their shoulders.
In this command there was not a
single casualty.
Atter a short rest the oontingejit
will be. sent to other camps for in
struction work.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
TOYS' IN OHIO
WIN CONTEST IS
LATEST REPORT
Error of 10,000 .Votes Gave!
Wets Apparent Victory;
Official Count to Decide
By Associated Press
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. B.—Ohio to
day woke up face to face with the
extreme probability that in less than
two years it would be a drinkless
and saloonless Commonwealth. This
condition forced itself upon the eiti- j
zens at midnight when tlie Prohibi
tion votes, till then for many hours
in a minority, took the lead in the
state-wide tabulation in such
strength as to make all but certain
the success of the Prohibition amend
ment which provides that the saloon
shall be barred after April 1, 1919.
Since the closing of the polls Tues
day night until last midnight the
bulk of the votes shifted from dry
to wet and back to dry again as re
ports from various sections were tab
ulated.
With the drys in early afternoon
congratulating themselves that they
were safely in the lead came word
that a mistake of ti thousand votes
had been discovered in the Hamil
ton county (Cincinnati) fount which
gave the premier place to the -vets.
Then the rural districts began to roll*
in, at first slowly cutting down the
wet lead and then more swiftly until
at midnight the drys distanced their
opponents.
Official Count Necessary
As it is, an official count is more
than likely to intervene before the
final announcement is made of just
where Ohio stands on prohibition.
Wets and drys alike talked of the
need of an actual recount before any
thing like the whole state vote was
known. Rumors of serious mistakes
in several counties were current, but
none but the Hamilton county mis
take received the sanction of election
officers. Governor Cotf took notice
of the change in the Cincinnati re
turns and instructed the Attorney
General to pay strict attention to de
velopments before the county elec
tion board.
Inasmuch as Tuscarawas and Ma
honing counties where the precincts
missing at midnight are located have
been credited with being dry terri
tory, the Prohibition champions as
serted their belief that their totals
would be greatly increased when
the official county returns were re
corded at the state house.
While New York suffragists were
celebrating their victory, the Ohio
suffrage amendment, a limited Presi
dential franchise for women, which
was hopelessly defeated in Ohio, was
banished from thought by the more
insistent interest in the fate of pro

democracy: First, Immediate con
clusion of the war, for which pur
pose the new government must pro

second, the handing over of the land

"At the close of the sitting a dec

the party disapproved of the coup

A proclamation sent out through

proletariat of Petrograd have de
posed the Kerensky government.
Maximalists Comprise
Most Radical Elements
The Maximalist, or Bolslieviki, ele
ment comprises the most extreme
class of the Russian revolutionary
Socialists. It first sprang into promi
nence in the early days of the revo
lution under the leadership of Nikolai
Lenine, the radical agitator, who
later was put the ban 6f the
provisional government because of
ultraradical preachments and his
suspected pro-German leanings. He
is known to have been In Petrograd
for some time past, however, but a
government order for his arrest failed
to result in his apprehension. Mean
while the Maximalists were under the
leadership of his chief lieutenant.
Deon Trotzky, whose home was in
the United States when the revolution
broke out but who sailed for Russia
shortly afterward. He was one of
the leaders in the 1905 revolution.
The strength of the Maximalists
has lain in the support which they
obtained from the military, chiefly in
the Petrograd garrison, among which
they have been able to work with
little interference from their govern
ment. They had failed, however, to
Impress their policies upon Russia as
a whole as has been shown by the
manner in which they were outvoted
in the all-Russian congress and the
minority party they played in the
organization of the preliminary pt*,-
liament, in which they refused to
participate after they were shown to
be outnumbered. Nevertheless, tl.eir
Influence upon Russia's policy, both
internal and external, has been
marked because of their predomi
nance in Petrograd, the seat of gov
ernment.
It was this sinister influence that
in part prompted the recent proposal
by the Kerensky government tb re
move the capital to Moscow, where it
was believed the government would
bo freer to Represent adequately the
will of the whole Russian people.
Revolution Effected
With Slight Disorder
By Associated Press
Petrograd, Wednesday, Nov. 7.
The Maximalist movement toward
seizing authority, rumors of which
had been agitating the public mind
over :iin,ce the formation of the last
.•oalition cabinet, culminated last
night Wliyi, without disorder, Max
imalist forces took possession of the
telegraph office and the Petrograd
telegraph agency.
Orders issued by the government
for the opening of the spans of the
bridges across the Neva later were
overridden by the military commit
tee of the Council of Workmen's anl
Soldiers' Delegates. Communication
restored after several hours of
interruption. Nowhere did the
Maximalists meet with serious op
position.
An effort by militiamen to disperse
crowds gathered In the Nevsky and
Detainy Prospekts during the eve

Minor disturbances, come of them
accompanied by shooting, occurred

Doctors' Reports on Nuxated Iron
PUBLIC HEALTH AND CHARITIES
PHYSICIAN FOR TEN YEARS SAYS
Tests Made With It On Stubborn Cases Where Other Tonics Had Failed,
Absolutely Convinced Him of Its Remarkable and Unusual Power
Also opinion of l>r. James Louis
Beyea, who at nearly HO years ot
age, buys lie obtained astonish)in;
new energy ami renewed vitality
with a short course of this remark
able product.
Careful investigation by physicians
among druggists and patients has
revealed the fact that there are
thousands of people taking iron who
do not distinguish between organic
iron and metallic iron. They seem
to think iron is iron on the same
theory that a potato would be a po
tato whether coitked or raw, entirely
ignoring the fact that the cooking
process makes certain important Qpl
lular changes in the potato that ren
ders it far more easy of assimilation
by the blood and tissues. No one
would hardly expect to derive the
same strength from eating raw po
tatoes that he would from eating
cooked potatoes, yet according to the
opinions of physicians who have
made a careful study of the subject,
taking raw, unprepared, metallic iron
is a good deal like eating Jaw po
tatoes.
Therefore, physicians advise those
who feel the need of a strength and
blood builder to go to their family
doctors and obtain a. prescription call
ing for organic irorf —Nuxated Iron—
and present this to their druggist so
that there may be no question about
obtaining the proper article. But if
they do not wish to go to the trouble
of getting a prescription for Nuxated
Iron, then be sur® to look the
label and see that the words NUX
ATED IKON are printed thereon. Not
Nux and Iron nor any other form of.
iron but NUXATED IRON. 1
In regard to the value of Nuxated
Iron. Dr. Hornstine. who for 10 years
was connected with the Department
of Public Health and Charities of
Philadelphia as District Physician,
says: The administration of Nuxated
Iron in a number of stubborn cases
where other tonics had utterly fail
ed, only served to convince me abso
lutely of its remarkable and unusual
l.ower; when I personally took it, I
found the rapidity with which my
energy and endurance increased most
surprising. In my opinion the wide
spread use of Nuxated Iron is bound
to make a nation of stronger men,
lovelier women and healthier chil
dren."
On this same subject, Dr. Beyea

Food Board Seeks to
Cut Bread Cost With
Fat-Reducing Formula
AVashington, Nov. B.—An attempt.]
to reduce bread prices will be the
next move of the food administra-1
tion in assuming control of the prln
! cipal food commodities. At the re
quest of Administrator Hoover, Pres
ident. Wilson will Issue, within a few
days, an order directing that every
backer in the county be required to
do business under Federal license.
Rules and regulations governing |
the baking Industry already have
been drawn up by the food adminis
tration and will be put Into operation
as soA as the executive order is out.
They will provide a standardlped
loaf of probably two sizes and stand
; ardization of the bread content. A I
j bread formula has been selected and
bakers will be permitted to use no
other.
The new bread will contain a re
: duced amount of fats, as both the
I lard and milk content will be cut
down considerably. It probably will
I be produced in twenty-ounce and
I ten-ounce loaves. No prices will be
' lixed outright, but the regulations l
i will prescribe that only reasonable |
1 prices may be charged. Consum-I
| ers' committees have reported to the ]
administration that In most places j
I loaves of this size can be sold at 10 j
I and 5 cents, respectively.
Food administration officials arej
j giving serious consideration to the
I situation created by the short wheat I
crop, and It is believed that beforef
tised remedies, and for fifteen years
while Adjunct-Professor in the New
York Homeopathic Medical College, I
taught my medical students that such
remedies were generally valueless,
but in the case of Nuxated Iron,
severe tests made on myself and
numerous patients have absolutely
convinced me "that it is a remedy of
most extraordinary merit, and one
wl.ich should be generally prescribed
by all physicians. Notwithstanding
the fact that I am nearing my 80th
birthday, a short course of Nuxated
Iron has made me feel like a new
man. Friends say: 'What ha\\ you
been doing to yourself, you look so
well and full of life.' In my opinion
there is nothing like organic iron—
Nuxated Iron—to put youthful
strength and power into the veins of
the weak, run-down, lntirm or aged."
Dr. E. Saner, a Boston Physician,
who has studied both in this country
and great European Medical Insti
tutions said: "N.uxated Iron is a won
derful remedy. Not long ago a man
came to me who was nearly half a
century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination for
life insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of
a boy twenty and as full of vigor,
vim and vitality as a young man, in
fact a young man he really was not
withstanding his age. The secret he
said was taking iron—Nuxated Iron
had tilled him with renewed life. At
30 he was in bad health, at 46 he was
careworn and nearly ail in—now At
50, after taking Nuxated Iron, a mir
acle of vitality and his face beamirfg
with the buoyancy of youth. •
If people would only take Ntixated
Iron when Hhey feel weak or run
down instead of dosing themselves
with habit-forming drugs, stimulants
and alcoholic beverages, I am con
vinced that in this way they could
ward oft disease, preventing it be
coming organic in thousands of cases,
and thereby the lives of thousands
might be saved who now die every
year from pneumonia, grippe, kidney,
liver, heart trouble and other danger,
ous maladies. The real and true
cause which started their disease was
nothing more or less than a weaken
ed condition brought on by a lack of
iron tin the blood. Thousands of peo
ple suffer from iron deficiency and
do not know it. If you are not strong
or well you owe it to yourself to
make the following test: See how
lofig you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired;

be required to add a certain amount

PORK PRICES PROP
Associated Press
| Chicago, Nov. B.—Prices of ham
i and bacon to the consumer were cut.
I five to ten cents by the Illinois food
] administrator to-day. The govern
i ment's complete control of the
j packing Industry lends importance
| to the announcement. While for the
1 moment the cut applies only to Chl-
I cago and suburbs, prices set here
I eventually will serve as the standard
'or the whole country.

your strength again and see how
much you have gained.
NOTE.—Nuxatea Iron which is pro
scribed and recommended above l.y
physicians in such a great variety of
cases is not a patent medicine noi
secret remedy, but one which is well
known to druggists everywhere. Ita
like the older inorganic iron
ducts it is easily assimilated and does
not injure the teeth, make their
black nor upset the stomach; on the
contrary it is a most potent remedy
in nearly all forms of indigestion as
well as for nervous, run-down con
ditions. THe manufacturers have such
Kieat conlldence in Nuxated Iron
that they offer to forfeit SIOO.OO to
any charitable institution if they can
not take any man or women under
60 who lacks iron and increases 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 clays' time. It Is
dispensed by Croll Keller, G. A. Oor
uas, J. Nelson Clark and all good
druggists.
