STATE PLEADS FOR THE HONEY BEES Should Not Be Harmed by Some Old Methods of Hand ling Their Hives and Honey The antiquated but common prac tice of some beekeepers to smoke out colonies of bees to procure the honey has resulted in the killing of thou sands of bees each fall in this state and efforts are being made by the State Department of Agriculture to stop the practice. Chief Apiary Adviser George H. Hea says that many farmers still use the old sulphur smoking method and that thousands of the heavy and best colonies of bees are killed yearly in this manner. With badly constructed hives the smoking method is used instead of the transfer of the bees to modern hives and the loss amounts to thousands of dollars. The aver age colony of bees is worth about ten dollars and the person who prac tices the smoking method is just losing that much revenue as well as curtailing the supply of honey for future years. Every effort is being made to in crease the honey production of the state and thus heip out the sugar shortage, as honey is a most accept able substitute. On an inspection trip in the northern part of the state Mr. Hea found a farmer ready to smoke out ten hives of splendid yielding bees, and he arranged for the transfer of the colonies and saved their destruction. Beekeeping has been a profitable industry as a side line and some of the larger apiaries have had splendid returns. State Zoologist J. G. San ders has urged every oroliardist to secure several colonies of bees to place in his orchard and strongly urges every farmer to consider bee keeping as a side line.

Administration of Nuxated Iron in Clinical Tests Gives Most Astonishing Youth* ful Strength and Makes Women Look Years Younger. "There can IIF no healthy, beauti ful, rosy eheekeil women without Iron," says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author. "In my recent talks to physicians on the grave and serious consequences of iron deficiency in the blood of Ameri can women. I have strongly empha sized the fact that doctors should pre scribe m#re organic iroft —nuxated i ro n—for their nervous, run-down, weak, haggard-looking women pa tients Pallor means anaemia. The skin of the anaemic woman is pale, tl* 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 ch ?fthe most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table svrups eandieß, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca roni, spaghetti, tapi oca, sago, fa r "a • determinated corn meal no longer is iron to be found. Re fining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from/ these lnl P? ver '®m„l foods. and sil lyl methods of , nl ® cookery, by throwing down the waste p pe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are respons ible for another grave Iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to pre serve your youthful vim and vig or to ft ripe old age, you must supply the Iron deficiency in your food by using some form of or- I ganic iron. Just as you would use salt when your food has not have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the irreatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nux ated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead of dosing themselves with habit forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thous-" ands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, kid ney, liver, heart trouble and other danger ous 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. "On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. "Iron is also absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food Into living tissue. Without it, no i matter how much or. what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't Ret the strength out of It, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil de ficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: fciee how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two live grain tablets of N'uxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks, then test your strength again and see how much you have, pained. 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.

The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the rod 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 easily ob sorbed and assimilated to do you an/ good, otherwise it may prove wori than useless. "I have used Nuxated Iron widely in my own practice in most sever* aggravated conditions with unfailing results, I have induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all ot whom have given mo most surprising reports in regard to its great power as a health and strength builder.

Dr. Schuyler C.
