Delegation of Citizens Will Go to
Washington and Make Appeal
for Coal.
’
Acting on the suggestion of Sena
tor Hoke Smith that a delegation of
Atlanta citizens go to Washington to
personally present this city’s reguest
for sufficient coal to relieve the fuel
famine, a strong committee was ap
pointed at a conference Wednesday
morning at the Chamber of Com
merce, and a telegram was sent to
Senator Smith asking him to arrange
for a conference with the Federal
(uel authorities Friday morning, if
possible. ‘
It is thought that the F'(l{nmitt?(‘i
will leave Wednesday night, How
ever, no definite hour will be named
pending the receipt of word frnm‘
Senator Smith concerning the date n!}
the Washington hearing 1
The committee is composed of sol ,r-‘
of Atlanta's most prominent ~itl:/.p:1m,“
Who are well up on the coal situa
tion. W, H. White, Jr., the newly
elected president of the Chamber url‘
Commerce, is chairman. The other
members are Henry Kennedy, Atlanta
fuel administrator; W. B. Baker,
president of the Atlantic Ice and Coal
Corporation; Bulow Campbell, of the
Campbell Coal Company; C. . Sci-|
ple, formerly a coal dealer and prom- |
fnent in manufacturing circles
throughout the State.
A telegram was sent to Dr. Hard
man Wednesday morning, urging him
to accompany the committee and use
his influence to lend more weight to |
the arguments of the delegation {
#+ Mr. Kennedy was busy all day
Wednesday gathering statistics frum!
the coal dealers of Atlanta relative
to the situation. The whole gist of
the matter, Mr. Kennedy reported
was that here is absolutely no coal
in Atlanta to b bought at any fig
ure, and that the dealers are “up a
tree.”
Members of the committee agreed
fully with the statement of Senator
Hoke Smith that the only way At
lanta people will be able to get coal is
to have a delegation present to the
fuel chiefs personally the urgent needs
of the local public and impress upon
them the fact that something must
be done, and quickly.
Mr. Kennedy has made the sugges
tion that the public use steam mml]
until shipments of domestic cdoal can
be received. This coal, commonly |
known as the “run of the mine” can
be secured from any local dealer, and
probably will be sufficient to tide over |
the emergency. Steam coal is vmn-}
monly used by manufacturing com
panies, but may be used in the grmo.l
It is reported that the people of
Chattanooga have bheen using stoum‘
coal for the last 60 days, that city,
being In Atlante's predicament ex
actly.

Coal Shortage Sends
Northerners to Dixie
The coal shortage in the North is
driving people to the South for the
winter, according to a “Gentleman
from Indiana” who visited the offices
of the Georgia Automobile Associa
tion Wednesday morning.
This tourist reported that people
from the North had been able to rent
apartments and rooms in the towns
and vg‘hgoa in Florida, at a filgure
lower than the cost of a winter's sup
of coal.
k T. Reynolds, of the auto as
sociation, stated Wednesday that
never before in the history of the
South have so many automobile par
ties passed through this State bound
for Florida and other Southern points.
Mr. Reynolds estimated that fully
- 100 parties pass through Atlanta
every day. And most of them visit
the offices of the auto association at
the Hotel Ansley for information re
garding the roads, which keeps the
“office force pretty busy.

No Longer a Miller;
)
There’s Good Reason
Robert W. Paris, the popular
real estate man at Decatur, has
retired from the milling business.
That is to say, he's quit hauling
grist to the mill in his trusty
flivver for his neighbors and oth
er friends. The story runs thus:
Mr. Paris frequently finds it
necessary to journey to Scottdale
on business, and he makes all
his business trips in his auto.
His neighbors, when they see him
hitching up his flivver for a trip
- down Scottdale way, often ask if
1 he would mind taking some corn
| down to the mill for them. He
‘ doesn’'t—or didn't,
’ Tuesday he was bouncing
~ merrily over the highways of De
- Kalb with a sack of corn, bound
| for the Secottdale mill. It was a
- fine morning and he was letting
. the flivver have her head. Arrived
at the mill, he went around to the
~ back end of the car to get the
- corn. It was gone. Back over the
route he went, but no trace ofi the
~ sack could he find, except for a
- trail of yellow grain. And he
~ hasn't until yet.
“Never again,” he said Wed
~ nesday. “I'm going to pay that
- fellow for that sack of corn and
~ close up for good and all my
~ milling business.”,

Southern Wholesalers, in Session
Here, Say Company Would
Shift War Tax.
Resolutions protesting against the
increase of 10 per cent in express
rates which the Southern Express
Company has asked of the Interstate
Commerce Commission were adopted
Tuesday .afternoon by the Southern
Wholesale Dry Goods Association in
session in Atlanta.
Norman Johnson. secretary and
counsel, declared the express com
pany was merely trying to force the
public to shoulder the war tax on its
profits, 3
“This isn't an expense, but a charge
which every business must expect to
pay,” said Mr. Johnson. ‘“The express
company already is making the public
pay 5 per cent on everything shipped,
a charge the Government intended the
company to pay.”
Mr. Johnson took up the record of
the company showing that only 150,-
000 had ever been invested in the
Sputhern Express Company, which
has paid enormous dividends.
The third division of the dry goods
organization, consisting of dealers
from South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, met at the Chamber of Com
merce to discuss market conditions
and tax questions. An advance in
prices was predicted by them as a
certainty.

They Prescribe Nuxated Iron
To Make Beautiful, Healthy Women and Strong, Vigorous Men
NOW BEING USED BY OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY.

Into a Perfect Glow of Health and Beauty—Qften Increases the Strength of Delicate, Nervous, Run-
Down Folks 100 Per Cent In Two Weeks Time.
New York, N. Y.—lt is conservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taking
Nuxated Iron. Such' astonishing results
'have been reported from its use both by
ldoctors and laymen, that a number of
\physlcians in various parts of the coun
| try have been asked to explain why they
prescribe it so extensively, and why it
apparently produces so much better re
sults than were obtained from the old
~forms o_( inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the lettérs re
ceived are given below:
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York phy
sician and medical author, says:
‘‘There can be no sturdy iron men
without iron. Pallor means anaemia.
Anaemija means iron deficiency. The skin
of anaemic men and women is pale; the
flesh flabby; the muscles lack tone, the
brain fags and the memory fails and
they often become weak, nervous, irrita
ble, despondent and melancholy. When
’the iron goes from the blood of women,
the ro}t‘!es go from their cheeks.

crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti,

iflning processes have removed the iron
of Mother Earth from these impoverish
ed foods, and silly methods of home
cookery, by throwing down the waste
pipe the water in which our vegetables
are cooked are responsible for another
grave iron loss.- ~
Therefore, if you wish to preserve ygur
youthful vim and vigor to a ripe*old age,
you must supply the iron deficiency in
your food by using some form of organic
iron, just as you would use salt when
your food has not enough salt.
Dr. A. J. Newman, late police surgeon
of the city of Chicago and former housé
surgeon, Jefferson Park Hospital, Chi
cago, in commenting on Nuxated Iron,
says: ‘lt has been my particular duty
during the past six years to assist in
keeping Chicago’s five thousand blue
coats in good health and perfect fighting
trim, so that they would be physically
equipped to withstand all manner of
storms and the ravages of nature’s ele
ments.
“Recently I was prompted through an
indorsement of Nuxated Iron by Dr.
Schuyler C. Jaques, visiting surgeon of
St. Elizabeth’'s Hospital, New York, to
give it a trial. This remedy has proven
through my own tests of it to excel any
preparation I have ever used for cre
ting red blood, buildinfi up the nerves,
&rengthenlng the muscles and correct
ing digestive disorders.” ‘
Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied widely both in this country
and in great European medical institu
tions, says: “As I have said a hundred
times over, organic iron is the greatest
of all strength builders. If people would
only take Nuxated Iron when they feel
weak or rundown, instead of dosing
themselves with habit-forming drugs,
stimulants and alcoholic beverages, I am
convinceqd that in this way theyv could
ward off disease, preventing it becoming
organic in thousands of cases and there
by 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 and true cause which started
their diseases was nothing more nor less
than a weakened condition brought on
by lack of iron in the blood.

‘““Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him a preliminary examina
tion for life insurance. 1 was astonished
’to find him with a blood pressure of a
‘boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and
vitality as a young man; in fact, a
young man he really was, notwithstand
ing his age. The secret, he 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 near
ly all in—now at 50, after taking Nux
ated Iron a miracle of vitality and his
face beaming with the buoyancy of
youth.
“Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it, no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely pass
es through you without doing you dny
€ood, and as a consequence you become
weak, pale and sickly-looking, just like
a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient
in. iron. If you are not strong or. weil
you owe it to yourself to. make the fol
lowing test: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk without be
coming 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 sea
how much you have gained. I have seen
dozens of nervous, run-down people who
were ailing all the whtle double thelr
strength and endurange and entirely rid
themselves of all symptoms of dyspep
sia, liver and other troubles in from ten
to fourteen days’' time simply by taking
iron in the proper form. And this after
they had in some cases been doctoring
for months without obtaining any ben
efit. But don't take the old forms of
reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
iron simply to save a few cents. . The
iron demanded by Mother Nature for the
red 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 absorbed and assimilated to do |
you any good, otherwise it may prove
worserfihan useless. Many an athlete
and prize-fighter has won the day sim
ply because he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood with iron before he went into the
affray; while many another has gone
down to inglorious defeat simply for the
lack of iron.”

guits. . And
those who wish »
quickly to increase :
their strength, power
and endurance will find
it a most remarkable and
wonderfully effective remedy,”
Dr. H. B. Vail, a medical examiner,
late of the Baltimore and Columbus Hos
pitals, says: “Time and again, I have
’prescrib«-d organic iron—Nuxated Iron--;-
and surprised patients at the rapidity
with which the weakness and general!’
debility were replaced by a renewed feel=
ing of strength and vitality. One man
47 years. old who had practically worn
‘himself out with stimulating medicines
‘and nauseous concoctions came to me
recently after a month’s course of Nux
ated Iron and declared, ‘Doctor, I feel as
full of life and energy as when a boy of
21." When you compare a product like
Nuxated Iron, which is easily assimilat
ed and does not injure the teeth, with
the older forms of inorganic iron, which
upset the stomach, ruined the teeth
and passed through the body without
doing any good, it is not surprising that
millions of people annually are now tak
ing Nuxated Iron and physicians every
where are prescribing it.”
NOTE—Nuxated Iron, whch is preseribed and
recommended above by physicians in such a great
‘variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but ome which is well known to
druggists and whose iron constituents are
widely prescribed by eminent physicians both
in Furope and America. Unlike the older in
organic iron products it is easily assimilated,
does not injure the teeth, make them black,
nor upset the stomach: on the contrary, it is a
most potent remedy in nearly all forms of in
digestion as well as for nervous, run-down con
ditions. The manufacturers have such great
confidence in nuxated iron, that they offer to
forfeit SIOO.OO to any charitable institution if
they cannot take any 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 organic trouble. They also
offer to refund your money if it does not at least
double your strength and endurance in ten days’
time. It s dispensed in this city by Jacobs
Pharmacy and all good druggists.
