women, tried out their playlets on
the home folks Tuesday evening at
the Blsckstone hotel, when "The Up

The playwright herself took the
leading role in "The Upper Crust,"
the other parts being taken by Mrs.
Grant Williams, John W. Kennedy

Nuxated Iron Makes Strong,
Vigorous, Iron Men and Beautiful
Healthy Rosy Cheeked Women
Dr. Howard James, late of the
Manhattan State Hospital of New
York, and formerly Assistant Physi
cian, Brooklyn State Hospital, says:
"Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living: tisaue.
Without it, no matter how much or what
you eat, your food merely pasiea thrugh
you without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of it, and as a conse
quence you become weak, pale and sickly
looking, just like a plant trying to grow in
a soil deficient in iron. A patient of mine
remarked to me (after having been on a six
weeks course of Nuxated Iron): 'Say, Doc
tor, that there stuff is like magic'
"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
timer per day after meals for two weeks.
Then test your strength again and see how
much you have gained. From my own ex
perience with Nuxsted Iron', I feel It is such
a valuable remedy that it should be kept in

BUY A RED CROSS
BUTTON AT SIGHT
Women Should Be Saying
"Don't All Try to Buy at
Once," to Help Out De
serving Cause,
V By A. R. GROH.
Those Red Cross buttons ought to
sell like the proverbial "hot cakes."
In fact they are selling faster than any
hot cakes I ever heard of.
But what we want to say is that it
shouldn't be necessary for the women
to ask you to buv a button. There
ought to be a long line of applicants
at every Red Cross "recruiting sta
tion." The women ought to be say
ing, "Please don't push. Take your
time. Have your money ready. We
will sign you up as fast as possible."
For it is an honor to belong to the
American National Red Cross society,
an honor out of all proportion to the
dollar or two you pay for member
ship. it is the society of humanity and
mercy. Its active workers tight hun
ger and distress, sickness and wound
wherever they occur. Its nurses are
ministering angels, its field workers
face dangers on the battlefields to
bring in the wounded and care for
the dying.
Women as Leaders.
The two great figues which loom up
in the splendid history of the Red
Cross are women, Florence Night
ingale, who was the ministering angel
of the bloody battlefields of the
Crimea, and our own Clara Barton,
who did a similar work during the
Cival war.
The Red Cross is organized and
actively at work today in all the na
tions engaged in the great war. And
in all the wars of the last fifty years
the organization lias rendered in
valuable service.
The first war in which it came into
prominence was that of 1866 between
Ijcrmany, Austria and Italy. Jn the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870 the Red
Cross in France cared for 100,000
wounded and in Germanv there were
2,000 Red Cross committees.
In the Russian-Japanese war the
"white trains" supplied by wealthy
nobles to the Red Cross carried 3,000
cars of material and food to the
front.
The Russian Red Cross stands
higher than that of any other country.
That of Italy is best organized for

tains the best trained nurses of the
land. In Japan one person out of
every forty is a member of the Red
Cross.
The American National Red Cross
society is active in relief in national
disasters of all kinds. It did great
work, for instance, in .the Michigan
tires of 1881; the Florida vellow fever
of 1S88; the Johnstown flood of 1889;
the Russian famine of 1891; the South
Carolina tidal wave of the
Armenian massacres of 18; the
Spanish-American war particularly in
relief of Cubans; the Galveston tidal
wave of llXH); the Mont 1'elee eruption
of IWJ; the San Francisco earthquake
of 190o. And its work in the present
war is well known. The work it has
been preparing to do since we entered
the war is on a colossal scale.
The Red Cross has proved its value.
All nations support it liberally. The
noble souls ot Florence Nightingale
and Clara Barton go marching on.
Hurry up and bestow tllis honor on
yourself by joining the Red Cross.
