MAJOR STEELE GETS
ORDERS TO DEPART
-v
Former Nebraska Adjutant
General Rewarded for Serv
ice in Nebraska by Im
portant Commission.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Sept. 11. (Special.)
Major Walter E. Steele of Omaha,
former adjutant general of the Ne
braska Guard, who was last week as
signed to Fort Deming as assistant
adjutant of a division, received his
orders to report this afternoon and
lft this evening for the New Mexico
camp.
At the time of the organization of
the Sixth Nebraska Major Steele, who
was then serving as assitant adjutant
could have been commissioned as lieu
tenant colonel of that regiment, a
place he very much desired as it
would have given him active service,
but Governor Neville urged him to
take the place of adjutant general
made vacant by the selection of Adju
tant General Hall as colonel of the
"Dandy Sixth," because he needed a
man as adjutant generaly fully in
touch with the proprosition of a re
organization of the National Guard
and so Major Steele laid aside his
personal ambitions to work where he
was most needed. The guard is now
well along as an organization, and
will be ably looked after by the new
adjutant general, Major Hollings-
worth of Omaha, and Major Steele
has received his reward for faithful
ness by being given a position which
he likes much better than the one for
merly offered him and one in which
he is well fitted to assume.

NEW YORK, N. Y. "One (rlance is
enoutih to tell which people have iron in their
blood," said Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston phytician
who haa ntudied widely both in thia country
and in great European medieal institutions,
n a recent di'oourae. They arc the ones that
do and dare. Tho others are In the weakling

supposed ailments, constant dosinK with
hnliit forming drugs and narcotics for nerv
ous weakness, stomach, liver or kidney dis
ease and useless attempts to brace up with
strong coffee or other stimulants are what
keep them suffering and vainly longing to
he strong. Their real trouble is lack of Iron
in the blood. Without iron the blood haa no
power to chnnne food into living tissue and
therefore, nothing you eat doea you any
good ; you don't get the strength out of it.
The moment iron is suppl'ed the mu:,.i'e
of dangerous symptoms disappear. I have
seen dosens of nervous, rundown people who
were ailing all the time, double and even
triple their strength and endurance end en

liver and other trouble in from ten to four
teen days' time simply by taking Iron In the
proper form. And this, after they had in
some eases been doctoring for months with
out any benefit.
If you are not strong or well you owe It
to yourself to make the following teat: See
how long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next Uk two
five-grain tableti 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.
There is nothing like good old iron to put

on your bonea. But you must take iron in a
form that can be easily absorbed and as
