8 THE SUXDAT OREGONIAX, PORTXAND, DECEMBER tO, 1916. CHICAGO CHIEF TO QUIT AFTER CLASH Police Accuse State Attorneys of Laxity in Prosecutions , of Sunday Violations.' ' COUNTER CHARGES MADE Major Is Declared Using Power to Revoke Licenses to Build Polit ical Machine liiquor Men to Be Arrested Today. CHICAGO. Doc. 9. Almost simul taneously with a new order from Chief of .Police Charles C. Healey to enforce vigorously the Sunday closing law came the admission of Mayor Thomp son today that fhe chief of police would resign. The new order Instructed all police men to arrest violators on sight and book them at the police stations. Heretofore saloonkeepers who did not obey the law were arrested later on warrants or punished by revocation of their licenses, which, in many cases,, were subsequently restored. The order for .general Sunday clos-. lng. issued more than a year ago, has been the source of continuous dissen sion between Mayor Thompson, a Re publican, and Maciay Hoyne, Demo cratic State's Attorney. Resignation Due to Clashes. Chief Healey's resignation is attrib uted indirectly to" the clashes between the state and city forces. Saloonkeepers who were arrested on warrants after the closing order .had been Issued by Mayor Thompson were promptly freed by Juries. Criticism was made by city officials that the cases were not prosecuted by assistant State's Attorneys with suffi cient vigor, and the revocation power in the hands of the Mayor was used as a weapon to enforce the law. Hoyne adherents then brought the charge that the Mayor was using this power to reward favorites and to build for himself a political machine. Chief and Secretary Indicted. Recently, after a sensational raid by Hoyne on the City Hall for docu mentary evidence. Chief , Healey and his secretary were indicted. In announcing the chief's Imminent resignation. Mayor Thompson de clared Mr. HealiVs inability to obtain an immediate trial on. the indictments was the reason he would leave the de partment. Chief Healey had not announced his resignation tonight, but said the ques tion was entirely in the hands of the Mayor. Major-General Thomas H. Barry, of the United States Army. stationed here, was mentioned as a possible suc cessor to Healey, if he could obtain leave of absence from the War Department. MISS COLBY SENTENCED Gill I.

A Nervous Wreck at 46--A Miracle of Strength and Vitality at 50-Taking Iron Did It Doctor says Nuxated Iron is greatest of all strength builders Often increases the strength and endurance of delicate, nervous folks 200 per cent in two weeks' time. NEW YORK, N. T. Not long ago a man came to me. who was nearly half a century old. and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the 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, careworn and nearlyall in. Now at 50 a miracle Of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. As I have said a hundred times over, iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away patent medicines and nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated iron, I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved. who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, con sumption, klndney. liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more or less than a weakened condition brought on by lack, of iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change rood Into living tissue. Without it, nomatter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the btrength out of It and as a con sequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking just HKe a plant trying 10 uruw m a huii uencifiu in iron, it you are not strong or wen you owe it to yourseit to mane the following leaL; ihjw iung juu - n wuin. or nww far you can walk without becoming 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 see for yourself how much you have gained. I have ee- dosens of persons, run-down people who were ailing all fche while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to four teen oays lime flilipiy uy .hiviiib nun u cue firupci tuiiu. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months, without obtaining any benefit. ut don't take the old forms of reduced iron acetate or tincture of iron eimply to save a few cents. You must'" take iron in a form that can easily be absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prizefighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the fray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.
