Themselves For Army Work
About forty young • men of the
city have pledged themselves to take
up the work in the vocational school
for the benefit of registrants under
the Army draft law which is to be
opened next week under the super
vision of Superintendent Downes.
The class will be held in the Tech

to be titted for military service. Dr.

ietters urging local men to join this
school and a good number have not

Vocational Education the registrant
in this city will be able to learn the
work of the radio and otherwise ac
quire a competent working knowl
edge which will help him rise in
whatever service he selects.
THREE CARS OF
COAL FOR ENOLA
Shortage in Fuel Supply Is
Somewhat Relieved by
Delivery at Yards
Enola, Pa., Jan. 3. —With the ar
rival of three cars of coal at the
yards of local dealers, the acute fuel
shortage which has been gripping'
this vicinity for more than a month
' has been slightly relieved. Two cars
of coal came to the yard of Samuel
Mumper and the other to W. A. Mil
ler. Mr. Mumper said this morning
that the total amount of coal In
these three cars, by giving each
needy family one-half a ton, would
probably supply 270 families.
During the last five weeks there
has been only nine cars of coal re
ceived by these two dealers. The
territory supplied by them Includes
Enola, West Fairview, Summerdale
and Overview, and has a population
between four and live thousand peo
ple. The local dealers are busy sup
plying families having sickness with
fuel. More cars are expected during
the next week, Mr. Mumper said to
day.

Masonic Homes Give New

Residents of the Masonic Homes

ber New Year's week as the most in
forming and entertaining ever
I known there. The talk of Col. J.
' Warner Hutchlns, of Philadelphia,
; for twelve years grand marshal of
; the Grand Lodge, was a revelation
! to many. "It is notprenerally known,"
j he that, "that the United States has
at present in the Army and Navy
2,500,000 men, and 600,000 now on
the other side. The government
needs so much money because, while
England pays her men SB9 a year;
France, S3O and Italy, S7O, this coun
try pays her men $360 a year, with
a "pension of one-half more to the
families left at home and an in
crease of twenty per cent, for for
eign service." Colonel Hutchlns said
i that when General Pershing was
| taken to'the grave of General La
fayette, lie made the most effective
speech of the twentieth century, and
what he said was: "Lafayette, we
are here." He informed the audi
ence that the resources of our coun
try are so enormous that without
injurv to our credit wo can borrow
$250,000,000,000."

HUMAN INTEREST
IN QUESTIONAIRES
[Continued from First Pnge.[
low to give the details of their finan
ces and matrimonial situation. But
everybody being in the same boat
this caution generally evaporates ami
men and women tell their life story
i presently with eargerness and merri
ment.
"Did you say you live with your
mother-in-law?" asked one lawyer
who was having some trouble prob
ing the case of a rather evasive con
script. This surely did wake htm
up.
I "Holy smoke. No!" he shrilled to
an echo. "If you ever clapped eyes
on her you'd never ask that."
The domestic relation feature gives
more work to the lawyer than any
other. Unheard of complications
crop out. The questioner begins in
a moderate fashion with "state
whether you are married, single, wid
owed or divorced." Oftentimes there
is difficulty in straightening out this
simple inquiry.
"You will have to find out when
you were divorced and who married
you to your first wife" was the de
mand to a much badgered looking
youth who had lost all track of the
preacher's name and even forgot
where he was married the first time.
"You had better look up that wom
an" was the advice.
"I'd sooner go to jail for the rest
o? my life," said he solemnly. "The
last time we met she cracked my
head open with a telephone receiv
er."
Notaries Scarce
The boards wish to have it pub
lished that every man who has a de
pendant must have that person ac
company him because he or she has
to set down a signature. This is
done right in the courtroom and
the scarcity of notary publics was
evident today. The boards would
take it mighty kindly if more notar
ies would volunteer their services.
The task is so big that many per
sons have to wait a whole day and
many are consulting their own law
yers rather than endure this long
wait.
The only disease thus far not put
forth as an excuse for service, say
tho lawyers, is house maid's knee.
The usual ailment of colored folks
is "misery." This, like charity, cov
ers a multitude of complaints. Are
you sound mentally and physically?
Are you blind, deaf, dumb, an epi
leptic, paralytic, insane, have you a
withered or deformed limb?" are
fired at the visitor.
Has A "Misery'*
"Ah don' seem to ha\e any o'
them things, mister, briut its more
like misery of the back I have."
One husky darky man after finally
admitting that his "misery" might
not interfere with working for Uncle
Sam, was asked what service he pre
ferred.
"Ah don't quite get you?" he
screeched.
"Infantry, artillery, aviation, what
do you want to go to?"
"What's that, now, artil sah?"
"Artillery? That's where they
drag the big guns. Teamster you
say you are. That would Just suit
you."
"Boss, if it's just th' same t' you.
I got no anxiety to trifle wit' them
big guns. If you got a job cuttin'
meat, that would suit me a heap bet
ter."
Intimate Questions
Some tragic stories peep out when
such questions as these are pro
pounded: "Have you ever been con
victed of a crime? If so give tho
name of that crime, the approximate
date of conviction. Are you now
confined in prison or reformatory,
; serving sentence or awaiting trial
; The last would seem foolish until It
is known that these questionnaires
i will invade the prisons and jails.
Whether or not a term in prison will
militate against a man's reception by
the Army does not appear in the
questionnaires. It is likely
many ex-convicts are of the
mind that they will not be received.
A fine figure of a youth came in the
other day and was going along favor
ably until the lawyer suddenly came
upon this line of inquiry. This man
turned very pale and chokingly said:
:"I didn't know they asked that. I'm
! just out of Moyamensing, fifteen
!.years." He left abruptly before any
one could call him back.
Interpreters Busy
Interpreters have been kept busy,
and every now and then a man shows
up whose lingo would puzzle the
skipper of the tower of Babel. "Born
in this country?" they put to a
strange looking chap the other day.
"Ssxckrlbasky!"
"Come from Russia?"
"Bullshevlki!"
Finally It was discovered that he
had been born on a Spanish ship,
with German crew, somewhere on
the Atlantic ocean, but just what
his parents were will never be part
of history.
y Not Slackers
It should not bo Inferred that the
■wives and mothers are slackers. The
hoards understand perfectly well that
few wives and mothers care to see a
loved one taken away when there is
some doubt of the family being able
to maintain itself. Offsetting the
cases Of illness, fancied or real, one
sees many women who are only too
willing to make the sacrifice. "Is
your wife trained or skilled In any
cullirg?" often brings out a reply
like his from the wife or mother.
"Don't you worry, I'll make things
do. I can earn a living for myself
and the youngsters. Jlni don't need
to stay homo for us."
Inside and Outside
Subterfuges are very quickly un
covered. A very serviceable looking
colored man complained that he was
weak from "appendulex," meaning
side were you
operuted on . asked the lawyer.
"Which side? Well, t" tell the
truth, inside and outside, sah, but
mos'ly inside."
Tlio choice of selection for ser
vice begins with quartermaster de
partment; next comes the artillery
und third the aviation service. Judg
ing by the returns here Uncle Sam's
air army should be tUled in no time.

Give Your Stomach
A Magnesia Bath
A Wonderful Treatment For Dr
pepala, Indigestion and Sour,
Upset Stomach.
No man or woman who suffers from
acid indigestion or dyspepsia can
make a mistake by giving their stom
ach an occasional internal bath with
a little blsurated magnesia, says a
well known authority. Ninety per
cent of all digestive disorders are
caused by "acid stomach." Nature
provides hydrochloric aoid as one of
the digestive fluids but a great many
stomachs generate too much acid
Vhlch irritates and Inflames the stom
ach walls and causes partially dl
¥ested food to sour and ferment,
hus the stomach while fundamental
ly all right develops gas, wind and
the pain commonly mistaken for In
digestion.
This harmful, poisonous excess acid
In the stomach should be neutralized
before It works its way into the blood
and Is carried all over i the body.
Tho moment your stomach burns or
feels sour or the food you eat begins
to hurt get a few ounces of Qlsurated
Magnesia from any reliable druggist
and take a teaspoonful in a Tittle
water. Relief comes In five minutes
by the watch. The Bisuratod Mag
nesia washes down Into your acla-
Inflamed snd Miming stomach and
soothes and cools the heated walls
and takes up or neutralizes every
trace of excess acid present much as
a piece of blotting paper or sponge
might do. Every symptom of stom
ach distress vanishes and natural,
easy, painless digestion follows.

Physicians Warn Public Against
Taking Substitutes for Nuxated Iron
Say That Ordinary Metallic Iron Preparations
Cannot Possibly Give the Same '
STRENGTH, POWER AND ENDURANCE
Besides, they may upset the digestion, disturb the secretions and thereby do far more
harm than good, and that Health Officials and Physicians Everywhere
should caution the public against accepting these inferior products
Dr. Jnntes Francis Sullivan, lormtrly
Physician of Bcllevue Hospital
(Outdoor Dept.), IVevr York, and the
Wentchmtfr County Hospital) For
mer Health Commissioner Wm. 1
Kerr) Dr. H. D. Vail, formerly Phy
sician In the Baltimore Hospital and
a Medical Examiner) Dr. A. J. Xiv
iniin, former Police Surgeon of Chi
cago) Dr. Ferdinand King, New York
Physician and Medical Author, and
others give valuable advice and In
formation on the use of organic Iron
as a tonic, strength and blood
builder.
Careful investigation by physicians
among druggists and patients lias re
vealed the fact that there are thou
sands of people taking iron who do
not distinguish between organic iron
and metallic iron and that such per
sons often fail to obtain the vital en
ergy, strength and enduranco which
they seek, Hmply because they have
taken the wrong form of Iron. They
seem to think iron is iron on the same
theory Jhat a potato would be a po
tato whether cooked or raw, entirely
ignoring the fact that the cooking
process makes certain important cel
lular changes in the potato that ren
ders it far more easy of assirtilaton
by the blood and tissues. No one
would hardly expect to derive the
same strength from eating rnw pota
toes that he would from eating cooked
potatoes, yet according to the opin
ions of physicians who have made a
careful study of the subject, taking
raw, unprepared, metallic iron Is a
sood deal like eating raw potatoes.
Therefore physicians advise those

> thing as good as Nuxated Iron. In re
gard to the value of Nuxated Iron,
Dr. Sullivan says: "In my talks to
physicians I have strongly empha
sized the great necessity of their
making blood examinations of their
weak, anaemic, run-down patients.
Thousands of persons go on suffering
year after year, doctoring themselves
for all kinds of ills, when the real and
true cause underlying their condition
is simply a lack of sufficient iron in
the red blood corpuscles to enable
nature to transform the food they eat
into brawn muscle tissue and brain.
Without iron in your blood your food
merely passes through the body, some
thing like corn through an oid .mill
with rollers so wide apart that the
mill can't grind.
But you can't make strong, vigor
ous. successful, sturdy iron men by
feeding them on metallic iron. The
old forms of metallic Iron must go
through a semi-digestive process to
transform them into organic iron—
Nuxated Iron—before they are so
ready to be taken up and assimilated
by the human system.

U. Kerr, of Chicago says: "From my

Dr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician
in the Baltimore Hospital, and a Med
ical Examiner, says: "Throughout my
experience on Hospital staffs and as
Medical Examiner, I have been aston
ished at the number of patients who
have vainly doctored for various dis
eases. when in reality their delicate,
run-down state was simply the result
of lack of iron In the blood. Time
and again I have prescribed organic
Iron Nuxated Iron and surprised
patients at the rapidity with which
the weakness and general debility
were replaced by a renewed feeling of
strength and vitality. I took Nuxated
Iron myself to build me up after a
serious case of nervous exhaustion.
The effects were apparent after a few
days and within three weeks It had
virtually revitalized my whole system
and put me in a superb physical con
dition.

cently I was prompted through an en

Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon,
St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Now York, to
give it a trial. This remedy has prov

Dr. K. Sauer, a Boston Physician
who lias studied both in this countrv
and in great European Medical Insti
unions, said: "Nuxated 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
''?y of 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, ho
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
00, after taking Nuxated Iron, a mir
acle of vitality, and his face beaming:
with the buoyancy of youth.
If people would only take Nuxated
iron when they feel weak or run
.lX n \ inHt ad of dosing themselves*
with habit-lormlng drugs, stimulants
and alcoholic beverages, I am con
vinced that in this way they could
ward off disease, preventing; It becom
ing 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 dangerous
maladies. The real true cause which
started their disease was nothing
more or less than a weakened con
broufht on by a lack of iron
in the blood. Thousands of people
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 long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals
for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you
have gained.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which la 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 everywhere. Un
like the older inorganic iron products,
it is easily assimilated and does not
injure the teeth, make them black nor
upset the stomach; on the contrary.
It is a most potent remedy in nearly
ill forms of Indigestion, as well as for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
manufacturers have such great con
fidence In Nuxated Iron that they offer
to forfeit *IOO.OO to any charitable
institution If they cannot take anv
man or woman under 60 who lacks
iron and Increase their strength 100
per cent or over In four weeks' time,
provided they have no serious organ
ic trouble. They also offer to refund
your money If It does not at least
doublo your strength and endurance
In ten days' time. It is dispensed bv
