Tho poll shows:
Novlllu llil.IGl
Sutton 13U.810
President Wilson Received Largest
Vote Ever Given Presidential
Candidato in Nebraska.
Secretary of Stato Pool proved to
bo the beat voto gotter on tho demo
tratlo stato ticket, according to tho
aomplcto olllclal returns now com
oletod and tabulated In tho olllco of
tho stato superintendent of all of tho
ulnety-threo counties In tho state.
According to these returns every
thing went domocratlc, tho legislature
being so Btrongly of a domocratlc turn
af mind that tho responsibility for
Neville's majority (1,031
Hitchcock ran third, tho vote on
United States senator being:
Hitchcock 14:1,08,2
Konnedy 131,3f.n
Hitchcock's majority 11,7215
Tho vote received by President Wil
son Is 20,000 larger than was ever
cast for any prcsldentVil candidato In
tho history of the sUite. Roosevelt,
when ho carried It by 87,000 In 11)01,
received but 138,558 votes. Mr. Wil
son received In lDKf nearly 50.000
moro votes than ho did In 1912, while
tho voto for Hughes was 10,000 less
than were cast for Tuft nnd Rooso
u'lt combined four years ago.
Tho official roto of tho stato com
pleto shows that tho silent voter piled
up a majority of 11.050 for Prosldont
Wilson in Nebraska, yet there wero
men of apparently good Judgment who
beforo tho election thought Hughes
might carry tho state.
Food Commissioner G. R Haritian'n
amendment was defeated by u major
ity of 11,778. Tho vote for this
amendment was 1)1,210 and tho voto
against 105.903.
That Nebraska will get at least ono
more congressman in tho 1920 reap
portionment, based on tho census of
that year, was Indicated by the voto,
the largest cast In the state. Tho to
tal vote, 302,CS:, -13,000 greater than
In 1912, on the usual ratio of live to
ono Indicates u total population of
more thnn 1,500,000. This would en
title Nebraslvi to seven congressmen.
Tho voto cast on the prohibition
amendment was much loss than that
registered for tho live candidates for
president. This accounts for tho fact
that tho majority given tho amend
ment was much less than tho major
ity given Wilson. The majority for
tho amendment was 29,112.

lintl nothing to do with the writing of
the Revolution, yot tills lemon Illus
trates the pre-einliienco whleh .lesus
Christ hml In the iiitml nnd labors of
the great apostle (Col. 1:18).
I. Introduction, (vv. Ml.) Wo would
suggest that all Hilile student and
teachers, If possible, read the Introduc
tion to the Hook of Revolution in Sco-
Hold's Reference Rlble. Tlio nook
proper is "The Revelation of Jesus
llhrM." John, the beloved disciple,
yvho wrote tho Gospel and Kplstles,
was tho one who saw tho visions re
corded therein. Many or the things
are historical, others aro prophetically
set forth. Tho latter are "shortly to
come to pass." (See also 11 relcr!l:8.)
lohn tolls not only what God said but
what he himself hiiw. The Into Doctor
Hrooks of St. Louis omitted this book
rroni his study for many years until
lie saw the comments recorded in verse
3. Tlio time of tlio writing of this
book has variously been stated as from
A. I). CO to A. I). 0(5; the writer was
certainly John the Ueloved. The place
uf writing was the Island of I'atmos
In the Aegean sea, not far.froin Kphe
sus. The real author, however, Is
L Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
II. Salutation (vv. 4-8). "Tlio serv
ant of Jesus who records his message
was John, and the message was to bo
to "tho seven churches which nro
In Asia;" that is, the western portion
of Asia Minor, of which Kphesus on
the Aegean Ren was the principal city.
These churches are definitely named in
verse 11. There is good reason to
think that these churches represented
the seven successive epochs of church
history. If so, no age is exclusively
Epheslun, or Phllndelphlun, or Laodi
cean. Tho grace, favor, loving kind
ncss, Is a free gift from Christ, who
Is here giving a threefold title, name
ly: First begotten from the dead, wit
ness and prince.
III. Vision (vv. 0-18). What John
buw on the Islo of I'atmos he was to
write upon a parchment roll and send
It to the seven churches, each of
which needed a message. Under tho
figuro of seven candlesticks are enu
merated seven churches. Into tho midst
of these churches, actually present In
them, Is one llko unto tho Son of Mart.
(Seo nlso Matthew 18:20.) Llko a hu
man being, Jesus was, but now clothed
with the garment of his eternal glory,
girded about with tho glrdlo worn by
priests nnd kings, a symbol of hla
power nnd strength (Isaiah 11:5; Eph.
B:14). Ills head and his hnnds, his
feet and his eyes are all referred to,
each having its symbolical significance.
In his right hand nro the seven sturs
(v. 10), the angels of the churches,
pastors or leaders, possibly guardian
angels (v." 20). They are held In hla
right hand, signifying that they aro
protected, upheld and controlled by his
wisdom and power. (Seo Jeremiah 22 :
24). From his mouth goes a sharp,
two-edged sword; the spirit of tho
Word of -God Bharpcr than any two
edged sword (Hebrews 4 :12). And his
countenance was as tho sun shining in
its strength, tlio glory such as was
manifested In tho transfiguration, such
aB Taul saw near Damascus, is hero re
ferred to.
IV. The Command. John had en
Joyed a tender intimacy with tlio Lord
during his enrthly life and yet ho was
stricken down with tho overpowering
majesty and glory which had bedn re
vealed. Now he realized, as perhaps
nover before, tho significance of tho
ever-living Christ, nnd ho Is hereby
specifically commanded to record this
vision as ho had seen it and tho mes
sages which tho Lord had for tho
churches. The word mystery (v. 20)
has rcferenco to something which hna
hitherto been hidden to men and which
Is now about to bo revealed. Tlio
revolution was to these churches, and
It Is to us also.
Jesus is not a mere vision but ha
is n living reality, unveiled for tho
time from the unseen.
Jesus is a living fnct which wo are
to communicate to men. Tho soven
stars (v. 20) aro messuges In his own
right hand.
Tlio churches aro tho lamp stauds,
Christ himself is tho light, the sun
(v. 10).
Tho messages John Is commanded to
deliver havo u four-fold application (1)
to tho churches actually addressed, but
which havo long since passed uway;
(2) to all 'churches In all times, ad
monishing them to discover their truo
spiritual state ; (S) to Individuals, "ho
that hath an car," that they shall clulr
tho promises mado "to him that over
cometh" and (4) thoy nro prophetic of
tho different phases of splrltuul his
tory, following tho days of John, tho
writer, (a) Beginning ; (b) persecution ;
(c) worldliness; (d) priestly form
iiHBin; (e) reformation; (f) testi
mony to tho word and tho name, ,

NEW YORK, N. Y. In a recent dis
course Dr. E. Sauer, Specialist, of this
city, said: "If you were to make an
actual blood test on all people who aro
111 you would probably bo greatly as
tonished at tho exceedingly largo num
ber who lack Iron and who aro 111 for
no other reason than tlio lack of iron.
Tho moment iron Is supplied all their
multitude of dangerous symptoms dis
appear. Without iron tho blood at once
loses the power to change food Into liv
ing tissue, and thereforo nothing you
eat does you any good; you don't get
tho strength out of it Your food mere
ly passes through your system llko corn
through a mill with tho rollers so wido
apart that tho mill can't grind. As a
result of this continuous blood and
ncrvo starvation, pcoplo become gen
erally weakened, .nervous nnd all run
down, and frequently develop all sorts
of conditions. Ono Is too thin ; another
Is burdened with unhenlthy fat; somo
aro so weak they can hardly walk;
somo think thoy have dyspepsia, kidney
or liver trouble; somo can't sleep at
night; others aro sleepy and tired all
day; somo fussy and irritable ;somo
skinny and bloodless, but all lack physi
cal power and endurance. In such
cases It Is worse than foolishness to
tako stimulating medicines or narcotic
drugs, which only whip up your fagging
vital powers for tho moment, maybo at
tho expenso of your lifo later on. No
matter what anyone tells you, if you
nro not strong and well you owe It to
yourself to ma'ke tho following test:
Seo how long you ran work or bow far
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets of er
dlnary nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Thea
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained.. 1
havo seen dozens of nervous, run-dowa
people who were ailing all the tbaa
double and even triple their strength
and endurance and entirely get rid of
their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to fourteea
days' time simply by taking iron In the
proper form, and this, after they had
in somo cases been doctoring fer
months without obtaining any benefit.
You can talk as you please about all
tho wonders wrought by new remedies,
but when you come down to hard facts
there Is nothing like good old Iron to
put color In your cheeks and good,
sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It
Is also a great ncrvo and stomach
strengthener and tho best blood builder
in tho world. Tho only trouble was
that tlio old forms of inorganic iron,
like tincture of Iron, iron acetate, etc.,
often ruined people's teeth, upset their
stomachs nnd wero not assimilated,
and for theso reasons they frequently
did moro harm than good. But with
the discovery of tlio nowcr forms of
organic iron all this has been overcome.
Nuxated Iron, for example, la pleasant
to take, does not Injure tho teeth and Is
almost Immediately beneficial.
NOTB-Tho manufacturers of Nuxated
Iron liavo such unbounded confidence In
Its potency that thoy authorize the an
nouncement that they will forfeit I100.0I
to any Charitable Institution If they can
not tako any man or woman under sixty
who lacks Iron and Increase their strength
200 per cent or over in four weeks' time,
provided they have no serious organic
trouble. Also they will refund your money
in any case in which Nuxated Iron does
not at least double your strength In tan
days' time. It Is dispensed by most drug
gists. If your druggist or general store
Is without a supply, ask Uism to cat tt for
you. Adv. w
