Gives Life in U. S. Service
Vancouver, Wash., April 23. James
Barton Adams, western newspaper
poet and 76-year-old volunteer in
civilian war service, is dead here to
day. His loyalty cost his life.
Adams, despite his age, offered his
services to the government as army
post telegrapher here and for months
has worked daily in that capacity, in
addition to writing for various papers.
The strain was too great for his con
stitution and pneumonia developed,
from which he died late yesterday.
Adams worked for years in Denver
and came to the Pacific coast two
years ago. His last patriotic poem
appeared in the Portland, Ore., paper
a few hours before his death.

$25,000
New York, April 23. In honor of
Melville E. Stone, for 25 years gen
eral manager of The Associated Press,
the members of that association made
their annual meeting here today an
occasion for paying tribute to his
services. The meeting also was
marked by an appeal by Frank B.
N'oyes, president of The Associated
Press, urging the editors to support
President Wilson in the prosecution
of the war.
Mr. Stone was presented, in behalf
of the board of directors, with an il
lumined volume entitled "M. E. S.,"
His Book," a work intended to set
forth in permai.ent form the record of
Mr. Stone's service, life and activities

also caused to be inserted in the
book, in loose form, what were de
scribed by Mr Noyes as "very beauti
ful impressions of steel engravings,"
being 25 $1,000 Liberty bonds, "mil
lenium milestones, as it were, of each
of 25 golden years"
Mr Noyes' appeal for support of the
president was received with hearty
applause "If honest, constructive crit
icism would help the president," he
said, "utter it, but let us indulge in
no recriminations that have a partisan
birth"
Teutons Hang On to Russ
Prisoners in Germany
Amsterdam, April 23. Germany's
determination to utilize the labor of
Russian prisoners as long as possible
seems to be reflected in an official
communication which has been issued
to the German press.
After referring to the fact that con
ditions in Russia make an immediate
return of all German prisoners of war
impossible, the note says that the
transport to their own country of
Russian prisoners from Germany can
proceed only very slowly and must
extend over a long time.
The note refers to the possibility of
these prisoners preferring to remain
in Germany.

CUT THIS OUT
What Nuxated Iron Is Made From
Sworn Statement of Composition of Its Formula
It increase the strength and endurance of delicate, nervous, run-down
folks in two weeks' time in many instances.
The Board of Directors have authorized
the broadest publication of the sworn state
ment of the composition of Nuxated Iron,
one of the moBt widely used tonic, strength
and blood builders in the world, so that the
public may examine it for themselves and
judge as to its merits.
It is conservatively estimated that this re
markable formula is now being used by over
3,000,000 people annually in America alone.
Among those who have used and strongly
endorse it are many physicians formerly con
nected with well-known hospitals, former
United States Senators Wm. E. Mason and
Charles A. Towne, former members nf Con
gress; distinguished U. S. Army Generals
(Retired), Judge Atkinson of the United
States Court of Claims at Washington and
former Health Commissioner Kerr, of Chi
cago. Newspapers everywhere are invited to
copy this statement for the benefit of their
readers. It is suggested that physicians
make a record of it and keep it in their of
fices so that they may intelligently answer
questions of patients concerning it. Every
body is advised to cut it out and kfep it A
copy of the actual sworn statement will be
sent to anyone who desires such. It is as
follows :
Iron Peptorate (Special specific Stand
ard) Quantity given below.
Sodium Glycerophosphates U.S. P.
(Monsanto.) '
Calcium Glycerophosphates U.S.P.
(Monsiinto. )
P. K. Nux Vomica U.S.P.
Cascarin Hitter
Magnesium Carbonate
Po. Ginger U.S.P.
Oil Cassia Cinnamon U.S.P.
Calcium Carbonate Precip. U.S.P.
Each dose of two tablets of Nuxated Iron
contains one and one-half grains of organic
iron in the form of iron peptonate of a spe
cial specific standard which in our opinion
possesses superior qualities to any other
known form of iron. By using other makes
-of Iron Peptonate we could have put the
same quanmy oi aciuai iron in the tablets
at less than one-fourth the cost to us, and
by using metallic iron we could have accom
plished the same thing at less than one
twelfth the cost; but by so doing we must
have most certainly impaired their therapeu
tic efficacy. Glycerophosphates used in Nux
ated Iron is one of the most expensive tonic
ingredients known. It Is especially recom
mended to build up the nerve force and
thereby increase brain power, as glycerophos
phates are said to contain phosphorous in a
state very similar to that in which it is
found in the nerve and brain cells of man.
As will be seen from the above, two im
portant ingredients of Nuxated Iron (Iron
Peptonate and Glycerophosphates) are very
expensive products as Compared with most
other tonics.
Under such circumstances the temptation
to adulteration and substitution by unscru
pulous persons, is very great and the public
is hereby warned to be careful and see every
bottle is plainly labeled "Nuxated Iron'
liy the Dae Health Laboratories, Paris,
London, and Detroit, U. S. A., as this is the
only genuine artiele. If you have taken
other forms of iron without success, this
docs not prove Nuxated Iron will not help
you. We guarantee satisfaction to every
purchaser or your money will be refunded.
In regard to the value of Nuxated Iron,
Dr. A. J. Newmon, late Police Surgeon of
the City of Chicngo, and former House Sur
geon Jefferson Park Hospital, Chicago, says
it has proven through his own tests of It to
excel any preparation he has ever used for
creating red blood, building up the nerves
and strengthening the muscles. Dr. J. W.
Armisted, Grove Hill, Ala., graduate of the
University of Alabama School of Medicine,
Mobile, 1 88, says: "In the cases I used
Nuxated Iron I have found more beneficial
results than from any preparation I have
ever used in 34 years' practice." Dr. R. B.
Haugh, Polkville. Miss., graduate of the
Memphis Hospital College. Memphis, 1808,
says: "I always prescribe Nuxxted Iron
where a reconstructive tonic is indicated."
Nuxated Iron often increases the strength
and endurance of delicate, nervous, rundown
folks in two wecksT time.
