Is Your Blood
Starving For
Want of Iron?
Without Plenty of Iron In Your Blood
You Don’t Get the Strength and
Nourishment Out of the Food You Eat
When over-work, lack of sleep, improper
food and impure air sap the iron from your
blood and make you feel weak, nervous,
irritable and out-of-sorts, it is important
that you should at once put more iron into
your blood. Without iron the blood loses
the power to change food into living tissue
and therefore nothing that you eat does you
the proper amount of good because you
don’t get the full strength out of it. Your
food merely passes through your system
like corn through a mill with the rollers so
wide apart that the mill can’t grind. Be
cause of this steady starvation of the blood
and nerves people often become weakened,
tired-out, nervous and rundown and fre
quently develop all sorts of symptoms. But
the moment organic iron—Nuxated Iron—is
supplied a multitude of dangerous symptoms
disappear in most cases, the flesh becomes
firmer, the muscles get back their strength
and the roses of health bloom in cheeks that
were pale and sickly looking.
No matter what other so-called remedies
you may have tried, if you are not strong,
vigorous, hearty and well, -<-ou 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 ordinary Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength again
and see for yourself how much you have
gained. \ou can ootain Nuxated Iron from
your druggist on the distinct understanding
that if you are not fully satisfied your
money will be refunded.

CALIFORNIATOWNS
ARE SHAKEN BYTEN
•QUAKESINIONE DAY
LOS ANGELES, June 22.—The
sharpest earthquake shock since the
one which da’inaged Inglewood last
night was felt here at 12:36 p. m. to
day. According to some accounts it
was the tenth in eighteen hours.
Inglewood, I>os Angeles suburb,
which was damaged by earthquakes
last night, was shaken by a new
series of tremors this afternoon.
They started at 12:36, when a sharp
shock also rocked Los Angeles.
Reports from Inglewood were that
in the hour following 12:36 this aft
ernoon there was frequent light
shocks and vibrations.
Practically all the business houses
nl the town closed and many people
left the place.
Telephone communication with In
glewood could not be secured this
afternoon.
A telephone message from Bedon
do, ten miles from Inglewood, said
that afternoon’s earthquake did as
much damage at Inglewood as the
one last night.
The report said several more build
ings had been shaken down.
LOS ANGELES, June 22.—Earth
quakes which began at 6:47 o’clock
last night and continued intermit
tently until 5 o’clock this morning,
caused property damage in Los An
geles county estimated at SIOO,OOO,
three-fourths of which was in In
glewood, ten miles southwest of this
city. One death was due indirectly
to the most severe of the shocks and
several persons were slightly injured
by falling debris.
Ventura, Riverside and Orange
county points bordering on Los An
geles county, reported having felt a
slight tremor about the time of the
heaviest shock here.
Inglewood, where 21 business
buildings were demolished and near
ly every dwelling damaged, seemed
the center of the disturbance. South
ern and southwestern sections of
Los Angeles City, closest to Ingle
wood, suffered more than other dis
tricts.
In Pasadena three slight shocks
were felt and the damage was tri
fling. Beach towns south and west
of Inglewood reported no serious
losses.
Damage in Los Angeles estimated
at about $20,000 consisted mostly of
fallen chimneys, broken windows,
smashed dishes and bric-a-brac.
The damage in Inglewood was es
timated at $75,000. The buildings
which suffered the most damage
there were on Commercial street, the
main business thoroughfare. la
most cases the fronts of the build
ings fell into the street, leaving the
three other walls standing. Several
of the business houses had been
patched up so that their proprietors
resumed trade early today.
The first two shocks, which were
the most severe, came in quick suc
cession, the two covering a period of
about fifteen seconds. Following
shocks, variously reported as num
bering from three to six, were slignt
tremors, perceptible chiefly because
of the rattling of buildings.
The death of Mrs. William Shippy,
of Los Angeles at Venice, a beach
resort, was attributed to the earth
quake. She jumped from an auto
mobile following the tremor and fell
dead from heart disease.
The shock which caused the dam
age was followed by two slighter
tremors, a few minutes apart, and
at 10:40 o’clock a fourth tremor was
felt in the southwest section of Los
Angeles and at Inglewood. No dam
age resulted from these.
The front walls of the Inglewood
hotel, a theater, an undertaking es
tablishment, a real estate office, three
grocery stores, two meat markets,
two garages, a pool room, a drug
store, and other downtown buildings,
cdllapsed. The steeple of the Episco
pal church toppled into the street
and the buildings occupied by the
Citizens’ Savings. baAik ail'd the First
National bank. of Inglewood, vir
tually were destroyed.
The Edison building and Laughlin
building, formerly separated by a
space of a few inches, were found to
have become closely jioined after the
shock. Cracks over the main en
trance to the >O. T> Johnson building
on Broadway, showed the effects of
the quake. M ,
The chimney of the W. C. T. TJ.
building was loosened and a police
guard was placed in the street below
to warn pedestrians of the danger.
Inglewood residents worked all
night clearing up debris and board
ing up fronts of buildings which had
been partly demolished. During the
period that the town lights were off,
automobile headlights were used by
the workers. Many families slept in
the open air rather than occupy their
shaking dwellings.

Straightening Out of
‘Love Triangle’ Up to
Immigration Offcers
NEW YORKK, June 22.—-Immigra
tion authorities at Ellis Island faced
today the problem of straightening
out a “love triangle” born on moon
lit nights on the swelling Atlantic.
Miss Nell Butler, a young English
woman of twenty-two, begged them
to give her her freedom, at least long
enough to marry Captain Paul Miller,
of the British army, who made her
forget in a three-day courtship on
board ship the Canadian officer whom
she had intended to wed when she
sailed ten days ago for Halifax.
Canadian authorities refused to
permit Miss Butler to land at Halifax
for any other purpose than to marry
the Canadian, and put her on the
steamer Carona, bound for England,
via New York. Captain Miller wire
lessed her to stop at New York,
whither he was hurrying by train.
When she stopped, the Ellis Island
authorities took her in charge.
Engine Turns Over;
Switchman Killed
ATHENS, Ga., June 22.—Earl O.
Shealy, switchman, formerly, of Au
gusta, but lately of Athens, was
killed Monday afternoon when the
Switch engine of the Georgia rail
road left the track and went down
a steep embankment. The body was
buried beneath the coal.
Those receiving minor injuries
were: W. W. Langston, conductor;
Dan D. Finn, switchman; A. D. Ten
nent, switchman, and A. M. Johnson,
engineer. A negro fireman escaped
without bruised.
Mr. Shealy is survived by his wife.

Two months ago Andrew Leonard,
twenty-eight years old, came back
to Shadyside, near North Bergen.
N. J., to his father’s home. Ten
years before he had left to make his
fortune. He had gone to Pennsylva
nia and had hard luck, going from
town to town, he told the old folks on
his return. Work, he said, was dif
ficult to get.
His mother was preparing supper
when she heard a shot in the ad
joining dining room. With her hus
band she ran into the room and
found her son dead on the floor
with a .38 calibre revolver still in
his hand. Coroner Dark took charge
of the body.

FIRST MUNICIPAL AIR PORT
DEDICATED BY NEW YORK
New York City recently dedicated
the first municipal air port estab
lished in the United States, and at
last the air yachtsman and the
weary sky voyager from lands across
the sea have their official harbor.
1 That no doubt might be left in
ithe minds of spectators as to the
real purpose of the occasion a flock
of half a dozen De Havilands from
Mitchell Field glanced and glistened
in the sunlight while the speeches
were being made, a covey of ten
or so flying boats nestled down
to moorings in the North river at the
foot of West Eighty-second street,
and the navy dirigible C-10, like a
great silver bubble, drifted lazily
down stream toward its hangar at
Rockaway.
Altogether it was a spectacular
and impressive affair the significance
of which was best brought home in
the remarks of Rear Admiral J. H.
Glennon, when he said:
“This spot may mark the official
landing for intercourse with all the
world. Seaplanes from foreign shores
will land here, and it may be that
the gate which is here commenced
may be used eventually for distin
guished visitors from abroad, for
officials and representatives of high
and low degree by whatever convey
ance they may come. And the gate
may become a very Impressive one,
a landing, an arch and a building,
through which may properly pass the
bodies of our dead heroes from
abroad, our victorious < soldiery and
sailors, and it might /readily "hecome’'

in New York City.
American Cocktail King Moves
To London With 200 Varieties
LONDON.—During the war the bar
of the Savoy hotel was the evening
headquarters of hundreds of officers
home on leave. Nightly it resounded
to the din of what will be perpetu
ated in local history as “The Battle
of London.” Many were the casual
ties thereof, though the fatalities
were few.
Since the armistice, however, “The
Battle of London” has degenerated
into a mere skirmish. The exchange
of khaki for mufti and the Influx of
many civilian participants has had a
Pacific influence on the ceremonies
and turned what used to be a terrific
encounter into a stale sham battle.
But again mobilization is decreed.
A new general has appeared to lead
the fray. ]He is a master of “fright
fulness” and expert in the use of
liquid fire. His supply of munitions
is said to be adequate for a prolong
ed campaign.
“Boys, step up and meet Harry
Craddock, the Cocktail King, late of
the Hoffman House, New York, and
more recently chief performer at the
Holland House. What’ll you have?
Hal, four ‘Jack Roses’.”
Completing Reserve Stores
Craddock hasn’t started operations
yet. He’s waiting for the completion
of his reserve stores. But, mean
while, he’s perfectly willing to
prophesy what’s going to be on the
program when the present armistice
is declared off.
“I can make 200 cocktails, all dif
ferent,” he began. “I invented 100 of
them myself, and when I get going
here in about a week I will have the
stuff ready to make seventy-five dif
ferent brands, most of them new to
London. This town is fifteen years
Brave Robbers Steel Street While
Populace Looks on and Wonders
MANCHESTER—The art of “win
ning” other people’s property has
been brought to a fine pitch in Ber
lin, writes a visitor to that city in
“The Guardian.” “A few days ago,”
she says, “a woman had her fur lift
ed from her shoulders in broad day
light and in the crowded main streets
of Berlin. The closely, organized and
rigidly controlled hotel in which I
lived has had three rooms ‘cleared"
in the last forty-eight hours —every-
thing taken, the guests’ clothes,
shoes, coats, typewriters, even parts
of the furniture.
“Not long ago one of these clever
marauders—if you knew the precau
tions, you would believe they wore
the cloak of invisibility—carried off
a good-sized, expensive bureau from
one of the rooms, quite unobserved.
But these incidents are as nothing
to other of which one hears.
“For example: A huge van drew
up one afternoon before one of the
great hotels. A gang of grimy, sim
ple, earnest working men entered the
vast entrance hall, already filling for
‘5 o’clock’ tea, and. under the orders
of a foreman, began to roll up the
Woman’s Headless Body Found
In Lake; Arms Bound With Wire
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. —State and mu
nicipal authorities are trying to iden
tify the naked and headless body
of a woman, about twenty-five years
old, found in Lake Contrary, near
here, rec'ently.
They also seek to learn if there is
any connection between the murder
and the finding of a motor car con
taining blood stained clothing, near
Armour Junction, twenty-seven miles
south of St. Joseph. The abandoned
automobile was found four days ago.
The body lay almost directly below
a small bridge, from which it is pre
sumed it was thrown into the water.
The arms and hands were secured
Credit for the establishment of
the air port was given by Mayor
Hylap, Dock Commissioner Murray
Hulbert and other speakers to Rod
man Wanamaker, special deputy po
lice commissioner in charge of the
police reserves. More than 3.000 men
and women gathered for the cere
monies attendant on the opening.
The police reserves band provided
music. Inspector John F. Dwyer and
Colonel William E. Wood, who com
manded the reserves, were masters
of ceremonies.
In dedicating the spot to its new
purposes, Commissioner Hulbert said
three companies are planning to es
tablish regular air service between
this city and Boston, Albany and
Washington.
Mayor Hylan in the course of brief
remarks said he has been “malicious
ly criticized by the press in the past
with the exception of one or two
papers.” This will not deter him, he
assured his hearers, from serving the
people.
After the speaking he went aboard
the police boat John F. Hylan and
watched the flying. An HS-2 flying
boat, one of a fleet of four owned
by the American Transoceanic com
pany which took part in this show,
carried a number of passengers on
short “hops.” Most of them went
into the air literally for their first
time. Among those who enjoyed fly

’em. All they know over here are
the Manhattan, Bronx and Martini.”
Craddock expects to have the time
of his life teaching Londoners what’s
what in the cocktail world and, in
cidentally, reminding American visi
tors that their country was once the
land of the free. He even anticipates
adding to his 100 inventions.
Never Swallows Liquids
“How do I concoct a cocketail?”
he continued. “Well, I sit down,
quiet like, and start experimenting.
But I never swallow anything. I just
let the mixtures rest on my palate
and then spit them out. Swallow,
and the cocktail composer is lost.
Some liquors, like colors, won’t mix;
as brandy and cream. Then you must
know the weights of various cor
dials and always put the heaviest
in first. My greatest trouble here
will be working with this lunder

“I’ve got a few new ideas for the
Britishers. For instance, I’m going
to make Gin Daises, served in sil

thing for a hot day. Then there will
be flips and punches. I’ve got five

diners ask me to make a good iced
punch, naming the basis, I’ll do the
rest.

The gorgeous hotel porter hurried in,

men started to uproot the cobbles

the occasion and diverted passengers,

the street.
“The workmen showed exemplary

Food Budget of Average
American Family Made
New High May Record
WASHINGTON, June 22.—The
food budget of the average American
family attained a new high record
in May, the department of labor an
, nounced yesterday, the cost of 22 ar
ticles of fopd used in making up the
“retail food index” having increased
3 per cent over the total cost in
April and 7 per cent as compared
with January. Recent increases in
the cost of sugar, flour and potatoes
largely accounts for the group in
crease, the monthly review says.
“Since food forms more than 38
per cent of the total budget of the
workingman’s family,” the state
ment continues, "the cost of living
can scarcely be expected to decline
noticeably so long as food prices
continue to advance.”
In comparison with the April fig
ures, today’s review shows sugar
has advanced 26 per cent, corn meal
14 per cent, flour 7 per cent and
potatoes 5 per cent.
During the year period from May,
1919, to May, 1920, the greatest in
crease—22 per cent—wag shown in
Springfield, 111. The next largest
increase, of 21 per cent, was in
Butte and Chicago. In Indianapolis,
Peoria, St. Paul and Salt Lake 'City
the average family expenditure for
the twenty-two food articles in
creased during the year 20 per
cent; in Cincinnati, Cleveland, De
troit, Houston, Kansas City, Minne
apolis, Omaha, St. Louis and San
Francisco, 19 per cent; in Atlanta.
18 per cent; in Little Rock, Los An
geles, Milwaukee, Mobile and Port
land, Ore., 17 per cent; in Dallas
and Fall River, 16 per cent; in Jack
sonville, Manchester, New Haven,
New York, Providence, Rochester,
Scranton and Seattle, 15 per cent; in
Birmingham, Boston, Bridgeport,
Philadelphia and Richmond, 14 per
cent, in Buffalo, Columbus, Louis
ville, Memphis, Newark, Pittsburg
and Portland, Me.; 13 per cent; in
Denver, 12 per cent; in Charleston,
New Orleans, Norfolk and Washing
ton, 11 per cent, and in Baltimore.
10 per cent.
Wholesale prices also advanced
during May, the department’s re
view shows, the “index” in this
case being 2 1-2 per cent over that
of April.
“The group of fuel and lighting
materials again showed the best ex
ample of price increase,” the state
ment says, “due mainly to the sharp
advance in both hard and soft coal
and coke. The index number of
this group rose from 213 in April to
235 in May.”
Signed “Bergdoll”
Missive Ridicules
Efforts of the Police
NEW YORK, June 22.—A letter
signed "Grover Cleveland Bergdoll”
was received by Harold W. Ross, ed
itor of the American Legion Weekly,
today. Attempts of police and oth
ers to catch the fugitive draft dodger
were ridiculed in the Itetter.
The envelope was postmarked Cin
cinnati, Ohio.
Mr. Ross got in touch with head
quarters of the Eastern department
at Governor’s Island and a compari
son of the handwriting in the letter
with that known to be Bergdoll’s
will be made.
“Here 1 am reading in the papers
how you all are trying to catch me,"
read the letter. "Your money is safe.
Tell those fly cons they have to go
some to catch Grover Cleveland Berg
doll.”
Bergdoll, who was under a five
years’ sentence of a courtmartial for
dodging military service, escaped
from armed guards while in Phila
delphia.
A reward of SSOO was offered by
the American Legion Weekly for the
capture of Bergdoll.
Ex-German Diamond
Fields Are Rich
Just before the war Prof. Kaiser
of Gissen University went to Ger
man Southwest Africa to investigate
the diamondiferous deposits. As the
war prevented his return he spent
almost seven years on the study. His
report, part of which is printed in
the Cdpe Times, states that in the
territory actually exploited there are
certainly 14,000,000 karats, and prob
ably 16,500,001. And he predicts that
from fields not yet exploited or only
just beginning to be touched. mSny
more millions of karats may be ob
tained.
A British concern, in which Amer
ican capital is said to be interested,
has just bought out the German dia
mond interests in this territory,
which is now British and called the
Southwest Protectorate. The price
fixed by the Diamond Selling Syndi
cate under the new agreement Is
s 1 ightly more than $25 a karat.
Blind Man Ousts Deaf-
Mute Who Came to Rob
NEW YORK, N. Y.—The story of
how an aged blind man prevented a
deaf mute from robbing his apart
ment was told in Morrisiana court
with the aid of the sign anguage in
terpreted by the deaf mute’s sister.
Amcon Borchow, the mute defendant
was committed to Bellevue hospital
for observation after he had "sign
languaged” that he entered the apart
ment because a “spiritualist minister"
had told him to “trust in God and
keep on the straight road.”
Nicola Dimrichino, aged seventy
one, said he heard some one in the
bathroom, and. thinking it was his
nephew, groped his way there after
he had called and got no answer. He
said he realized the man Was an in

ELWELL KILLED
BY WOMAN, SAYS
DETECTIVE BURNS
NEW YORK, June 22..—“ There js
no great mystery about the Elwell
murder,” William J. Burns, interna
tionally famous detective, said to
day.
“It was committed in all proba
bility by a woman, and by a woman
who had spent the greater part of
the night in Elwell’s home pleading
with him not to cast her off.”
In making this statement Burns
took sharp issue with the authori
ties investigating the case, who in
sist that the actual shooting was
done by a man, though they admit
that a woman was connected with
It. Burns himself has done no work
on the murder, but has read with
extreme care newspaper accounts of
it and has arrived at his conclusion
by eliminating possibility after pos
sibility.
“The fact that the murder was
committed with a .45-caliber auto
matic does not remove the possibili
ty of a woman being responsible,”
said Burns. “The trigger of an au
tomatic pulls very easily; all that
is necessary is a slight pressure, and
indeed it is a weapon that a des
perate, infuriated woman might well
be supposed to have used. Fix the
situation in your mind and discard
the unessential features.
Lived Free and. Easy Life
“Elwell had lived a free and easy
life with women. Then the report
circulates that he is about to remar
ry. He even goes so far as to en
gage' a home for the Saratoga rac
ing season in the name of ‘Mr. and
Mrs. Elwell.’
“Word of this reaches one of the
women with whom he has been on
intimate terms and who possesses
the kev to his city house. She comes
there tne night preceding the mur
der. She waits for him until he gets
home.
“We know, by the testimony of a
reliable witness, that he arrived
home’ at 3:45 a. m. It makes no dif
ference where he spent his time
since leaving the Lewisohns nor who
was the man in the automobile to
whom he waved good-by.
“He went upstairs and found there
the woman who had come to plead
with him not to throw her over. She
was in the bedroom he had furnished
in feminine fashion and was proba
bly undressed.
’"She asked him if it were true
that he was to remarry. She demand
ed to know what was to become of
her after the relations that had ex
isted between them. She reproached
him for his lack of constancy. She
declared she would never give him
dp.
“Meanwhile Elwell undressed, re
moving his wig and false teeth, for
he was on terms of the utmost in
timacy with her.
“In all probability they quarreled
the rest of the night, the woman
constantly becoming more and more
infuriated- In our work w e have
met many examples of ‘the woman
scorned* and we know what they
are capable of under those condi
tions. I have known theme willing
to commit a hundred murders.
“Elwell was probably glad of an
excuse to leave the room when the
bell rang and he heard the post
man’s whistle. He went downstairs
and got the letters but, instead of
returning to the woman, he went into
the reception room. His feminine
visitor waited for a few minutes
and then followed him downstairs.
She saw that he was so little inter
ested in her plea that he had stop
ped to read his mail.
“That was th e last straw.
“Upstairs she did not have her
pistol within reach, for she had
brought it to the house in a hand
bag. But when she went down
stair she took this pistol with her.
Thinks Woman Could Tell More
"The sight ofi Elwell coldly read
ing his letters brought her fury to a
head. She may ’have asked him one
more question and it is likely he re
plied with a laugh or a curt ‘no.’
"Then she revealed her pistol,
took accurate aim at his head and
fired. After this she swiftly
dressed and left the house. It is
even possible that she returned
later to remove tell-tale bits of evi
dence, ’ .
"I am Certain that more question
ing of the Larsen woman, Elwell’s
former housekeeper, will reveal a
great deal about the socalled mys
tery. From the first, even before
she admitted hiding the woman’s
kimono and boudoir cap. I was con
vinced that she knew more than she
had told.”

Calomel salivates! It’s mercury. Calomel
acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When
calomel comes into contact with sour bile it
crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
Take “Dodson’s Liver Tone” Instead!
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable substi

JUDGE MORRIS
URGES DRAINAGE
OF SWAMP LANDS
MACON, Ga., June 22.—Addresses
by Prof. W. A, Worsham, of the
state college of agriculture, and
Judge J. N. Morris, of Marietta,
marked the opening session of the
eighth annual of the
Georgia Drainage association ®here
Tuesday. The convention adjourned
after the election of officers.

on, of Fayettevile, the next annual
meeting will be held at Griffin, Ga.
Mr. Dixon is an attorney and a pro
moter of drainage in Georgia.
Secretary Roger Miller, of the
chamber of commerce, welcomed the
visitors to Macon. Judge N. A. Mor
ris, of Mareitta, responded. He de
clared there were more than 36,000
acres of swamps in Bibb county that
can and should be drained. He said
most people were skeptical about
draining large bodies of swamp land
and some had declared it was pro
hibitive oh account of the cost. He
then told his experience in draining
land.
Several years ago, he said, he
bought a large tract of land for $lO,-
600 and the first thing he did was to
drain it at an expense of $4,800, The
net profit from thee rops the first
year more than paid for the drain
age cost, he said. His corn crop alone
sold for SIO,OOO. He finally sold the
property for $37,000, he said.

ing to turn over in bed. The lad, a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Pink
ston, has been confined to his bed
for more than three months with a

are awaiting with interest to see if
they will knit.
