There are thousands of men and women who need a strength and blood builder, but do not know what to take. There is nothing better than organic iron—Nuxated Iron — for enriching the blood and helping to increase the strength and endurance of men and women who burn up too rabidly their nervous en ergy in the strenuous strain of the great business compe tition of the day. People need more Iron In their blood than was the case twenty or thirty years ago. This because erf tho demln erallzed diet which now is served dnily In thousands of homes, and also because of the demand for (Ntltr re sistance necessary to offset the greater number of health lazards, to be met at every turn. Therefore you should supply the iron deficiency In your food by using some form of organic iron, just ns you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. Organic iron Is one of the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run down,-In stead of dosing themselves with hnblt-forming drugs, stimulants, and alcoholic bev erages, there are probably thousands who might readily build up their red blood cor puscles, Increase their physi cal energy anil get themselves Into a condition to ward off the millions of disease germs that are almost continually around us, It Is surprising how many people suffer from Iron defficlency and do not know It. If you are net strong or well you owe It to yourself to make the following test; 8e how long you ean work or how far you ean walk with out becoming tired. Neat, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks, Then test your TT2TDAT "EVENING, 71 ganlzation of the borough schools.

The ticket sale will open next week. Admission tickets can be pur chased from school children or in Front street stores. Prof. Harclerode said this morning that he expected the auditorium will be filled to its capacity for the recital, as Mr. Tem pest is well-known to music lovers in Harrisburg having played for the Wednesday Club on several occasions and other Harrisburg organizations. Ho has not played in Harrisburg for about two years. Coal Dealers to Discuss Central Bureau Plans Coal dealers of Steelton in session in the office of J. P.

Nerv ous, run-down people may in crease their strength and en durance in from ten to four teen days' time while taking iron In the proper form. And this after they have in some cases been going on for months without getting bene fit from anything. Many an athlete and prizefighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance which comes from having plenty of Iron in the blood, while many another has gone down in in glorious defeat simply for lack of Iron. • • If you want a true tonic and blood builder, you should get a physician's prescription for organic iron—Nuxated Iron— or if you don't want to go to this trouble then purchase only Nuxated Iron in its ori ginal package and see that this particular name (Nuxated Iron) appears on the pack age. If you have taken other Iron preparations and failed ;o get results, remember that such products are an entirely different thing from Nuxated Iron. NOTE: Nuxated Iron Is not a secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists everywhere. Unlike the older Inorganic Iron pro ducts, it is easily assimilated, does not Injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach. Nuxated Iron Is not recommended for use In cases of nc.ute illness, but only as a tonic, strength and blood builder. If in doubt as to whether or not you need a tonic, ask your doetor, as we do not wish to sell you Nux ated Iron If you do not re quire It.
