THE SUNDAY . OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 12, 1920
BOTH PARTY MANAGERS BATTLING FOR CONTROL OF SENATE
Thirty-two States Elect Senators in November Fight to Keep Upper House in Hand.
BY SETH MAXWELL.
BECAUSE the present senate is
republican, there has grown up
rather widespread belief thrft
the senate with which the president i
will have to deal will also be re-!
publican. The truth is. however, that
the men who are managing the cam
paigns of Senator Harding and Gov
ernor Cox are fighting, not only to
elect their candidate for president,
but also to Insure him a senate in
which the majority will 'be of his
own political faith.
In view of this, it is rather Interest
ing to not that a careful survey of
the situation with regard to this
fall's senatorial campaign seems to
indicate that, no matter who is elect
ed president, the next senate will
probably be in political harmony with
him. " , 4 '
Thirty-two senators will he elected
In November. .Of the 64 merffbers of
the upper .chamber who wilt retain
their seats 30 are democrats and 34
are republicans. In order that the
democrats may have a working ma
jority in the next senate they must
thus elect 19 senators; the republi
cans, in order to retain their Resent
majority ot one, must elect 15. If. by
any freak of politics, the democrats
should elect 18 and the republicans, 14,
the senate would be a tie, and the
vice-president, whether Mr. Roose
velt or Mr. Coolidge, would become
the most important single factor In
the legislative body.
Seat. That Are Safe.
Because certain states are strongly
democratic and others are strongly
republican, the result of the election
In those states can be set down with
practical certainty now. For instance.
It is. safe to say that democratic sena
tors will be elected in Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma
and South Carolina. It is just as safe
to say that republican senators will
be chosen in Iowa, Kansas. North Da
kota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wash
. lngton and Wisconsin.
There is another group of states in
which one may forecast the result of
a senatorial election with reasonable
confidence that a guess of today will
be vindicated at the polls in Novem
ber. Thus, in view of their past rec
ords for political constancy, one may
venture the prediction that demo
cratic senators will be elected from
the states of Arizona, Colorado, Ken
tucky, Maryland, Nevada and Oregon.
The latter is normally a strong re
publican state, but for 20 years or
more without a break it, has been
electing George E. Chamberlain to
office and there is nothing in the
day's news which indicates that the
Veteran governor-senator has lost
any of his personal following at
home.
On the other hand, and Judged by
the usual, rather than the unusual, in
politics, it is just as reasonable to
expect that California. New Hamp
shire, South Dekota and Utah will
elect republican senators, althoueh
CREDIT BUILT
WHO
One Master Parasite on Business
NO RAFFLES of safe-cracking
procllvlMes ever had anything
the better of the new type of
crook who is daily becoming more of
a menace in American life. The "busi
ness crook." the man who uses a
mightier weapon than "soup" or a
"jimmy," has sprung into being. A
clan of national scope Is theirs, and
from the Atlantic, to the Pacific busi
ness houses are being fleeced of mil
lions yearly.
Back of the trail of seven cats lies
the story of operations of one of
these master crooks. Lifting the lid
from the boiling pot of crime syndi
cates, one may witness the cunning
manipulation of crooked brains. In
every city In the nation, with the
Pacific coast fast becoming' a mecca,
lives and operates one or more of the
sew class of crooks.
Credit Is the weapon used to fleece
and rob. Credit extended on misrep
resentation in business fields and.
often as not, credit men themselves
the victims of such design.
Opening a little store in soma small
city, an "agent" of these crime syn
dicates buys a stock of goods. He
pays part cash and seeks credit. A
little is allowed. He discounts his
bills the first month and buys more
heavily the next. Within a sliort time
he builds up a credit, understanding
well on what credit is granted, and
then buys to his limit.
In the stillness of some night the
soft purr of a motor may be heard
vdriving to the recently opened store.
An interval of loading and the car
glides out onto the highways, detours
along the byways and creditors next
day find the shelves of the prosperous
little store cleaned.
Ciooas Altered and Resold.
The goods are brought to a' central
headquarters. They are altered so
Identification would be difficult, and
tomorrow you may buy some from
the stock of a legitimate and respect
able store, whose owner picked up
a bargain."
The trail of the seven cats Is in
teresting to follow.
Henry Gerard owned tv.o little
stores In Mount Clemons. Mich. He
had downed many other stores, under
many other names.- Sometimes he
"failed." His smallest "failure" was
or $20,000. At other times he merely
disappeared and the stock, or the most
valuable silks and furs and Jewelry",
disappeared with nlm. Creditors at-
temoted to untangle the remainder.
A detective of the investigation and
prosecution department of the Na
tional Association of Credit Men was
called to make an investigation. He
took up a trail which led into the
history of Gashie Stein, master
fleecer. Stein, until 30 years ago,
had followed the straight and nar
row path, but was then convicted of
passing counterfeit money. He served
in San Quentin penitentiary, call
fornia. until 1894, when he was re
leased.
At Erie. Pa., he learned the "credit
hunk." He opened a store and built
up a credit of $30,000. Then he de
camped with $25,000 in stock and left
the creditors to root among the re
mains for what they might salvage.
In Sioux City he was known as
"Immerling Bros." Here he "failed

and South Dakota are democrats and

women may imperil the seat of Sen

Case' of Utah Cited.
Of course, these forecasts will be
vigorously disputed by the politicians
who are interested in certain states.
There are republicans in Missouri who
will insist that Senator Spencer was
not a political accident, and demo
prats in California who are certain
that Senator Phelan can be re-elected.
There will even be democrats who
will tell you that they have a better
chance of carrying Utah than the
republicans have and they will show
you figures which seemingly prove
their contention. But while figures
do not lie, they are certainly decep
tent the dominating influence in Utah
for instance. -
The democratic claim of a chance
to elect a democratic senator from
Utah is based on the rather astound
ing fact that Utah, one of the two
states which gave Taft its electoral
vote in 1912, completely reversed it
self in. 1916, when Wilson carried
Utah by almost two to one. Back of
this upsetting of political dope is an
interesting story. It illustrates rather
sharply the conditions which make
the defeat of Smoot a very remote
possibility. Reed Smoot is one of the
powers in the Mormon church.; The
Mormon, church is to a very large ex
tent thedominating influence in Utah
politics. When Smoot ' was first
elected to the senate in 1903, there
was considerable outcry against him
because of his connection with the
Mormon church. Many people through
out the country sought to have htm
denied his seat in the senate, as Rep
resentative Roberts, another Mormon,
had been denied his in the house a
few years before. Roberts, however,
had been found to have practiced1 po
lygamy. There was no such charge
against Smoot. Added to this was the
fact that Roberts was a member of
the minority and Smoot was a member
of the majority.
AVortl Became Gonpel.
The religious campaign against
Smoot wore itself out, and Smoot, a
strong character with a great capacity
for detail work quickly took his place
among the senate leaders. As his
power in the senate grew, his influ
ence in Mormon circles, particularly
in Mormon political affairs, increased.
In 1912 his word was accepted as po
litical . gospel by his Mormon asso
ciates in Utah. Thus, when Smoot in
1912 asked Utah .to vote for Taft and
assured Utah that the Roosevelt de
fection would not prevent the re-election
of Taft, the Mormon leaders took
his word for it and delivered the state
to the republican ticket. The anger
of Smoot's Mormon associates can be
better i understood when one realizes
that present-day Mormon leaders,
seeking to overcome the prejudice
against their church, are exceptlonally
anxious to have their state on the
winning side in a national campaign.
In 1916 Senator Smoot again -went
to Utah and endeavored with all his
might to line up his church associates
for the Hughes candidacy., The M--mon
leaders, with 1912 atiy fresh in

less than seven to tote about and pet
and fondle would satisfy her.
A brief honeymoon, and they opened
a store at Yonkers, N. Y., where the
name became George Stutz. It ter
minated as per schedule and was suc
ceeded by another failure in New
burgh, N. Y., as George W. Stewart, in
July. 1916.
While Mrs. Stein had seven cats,
the couple had 57 trunks. In each im
portant city, from Portland to New
York, one of more of these trunks
were stored. They bore human names.
When Stein would telegraph, "Where
is Florence?" Mrs. Stein would re
ply, "In Chicago." "Better bring her
with you," would be another message,
"and Mrs. Stein, glancing at her list
and knowing that "Florence" con
tained furs, felt certain that soma
city was about to have a fur sale.
Trail of Cats Followed.
The detective followed the trail of
the cats. Conductors, hotel clerks,
porters, bellboys and train crews were
interviewed. BacK and forth across
the continent tne game was played,
and no shuttle ijoard ever produced
more, moves. Sometimes a train crew
would recall the seven cats as being
accompanied by the matronly Mrs.
Stein within a few days. At ether
times they had passed on days blfore.
Then on Christmas eve, their wed
ding anniversary, Mr. and Airs. Stein
were giving a dinner to empjsyes of
the "Outlet Merchandising company"
in Leavenworth, Kan. Theirstore was
in the shadow of the., federal peni
tentiary.
Just as "C. K. Noble," as he was
known to the ambitious clerks, was
about to rise and deliver a little talk
on '"Personal Service and Honesty in
Merchandising," the detectives en
tered.
They were sure of their quarry
when they visited the Noble apart
ments as the dinner was progressing
and stroked the humping backs of
seven cats.
Stein Gets Six Years.
Stein got six years. Mrs. Stein got
one year. She was allowed to take
two of the cats to prison and, though
perhaps irrelevant, one of the cats
had kittens. There were seven in the
litter.

in Portland, furnished the National

memory, rebuked Smoot by throwing
their whole influence to the demo
cratic ticket. As a result Wilson not
only won the electoral vote of 1916,
but the entire democratic state ticket
was elected. In the four years that
have passed, however, there has been
no evidence that the resentment of the
other, Mormon leaders against Senator
Smoot was caj-ried beyond 1916. Sen
ator Smoot is personally as strong in
Utah today as be was in 1914 or in
1908. The Mormon church, it "is but
reasonable to suppose, has no desire
to see Senator Smoot lose his place of
power in Washington, and in view of
this it is reasonably certain at least
as certain as anything can possibly be
in politics that Senator Smoot will
be re-elected.
Six States Are Pivotal.
Assuming this outline ofjthe situa
tion to be correct, there remain six
states in which the battle for the con
trol of the next senate will be waged
and decided. These states are Con
necticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, New
York and Ohio. Without either of
these the next senate will probably
contain 4 5 democrats and 45 repub
"failed" In the furniture business and
was "caught with the goods." He
served a term and was discharged.
He became a manufacturer of
waists and "failed again." Then he
appeared in New York -as a Jeweler
under the name of "Fox & Redmond."
After "failure," he and his partner
were indicted, but he fled, leaving
the partner to serve a term alone. He
again, went into the waist business,
and one night, as his partner was
away on a trip, it is charged that he
drew the firm's money and planned
to decamp. He got away, was traced
to San Francisco and thence to Port
land, where he Was arrested. He is
now facing trial.
At Woodland, Wash., a man opened
a general merchandise store. le
placed his credit as strong as possi
ble,, "failed" when his pockets were
.filled with certificates of deposit in
Portland banks, and left. He was
followed to Salem, where he doubled
back on his trail a detectives pro
ceeded ahead and escaped.
In Oregon City a stranger hought
a grocery store, built up a good trade
and credit, and then botrght an auto
mobile. Also he bought a trailer. One
night the stock was made to fit the
trailer and off he went.
One Method Is Simple.
A net little method employed by
some of the operators was simple, and
in its very simplicity worked well. In
the mountainous sections of the south
a man would appear in a town and
open a store. He would be 'asked for
references as to credit. He would
mention the name of his bank and
the name of a wholesaler with whom
he had done business "for years."
The firm would write. There were re
ceived in return excellent references
When apprehended this particular
syndicate was found to own a little
wooden shed, a typewriter and hand
somely engraved stationery of banks
and wholesale houses. They were
giving clean "bills of health" to who
ever asked in wholesale fashion.
Lists of business - people in every
city of the nation are for sale to
these "credit crooks." They are sup
posed to contain the names of the
more gullible people of a .city, for
salesmen of fake stock and other of
that gentry. The National Associa
tion of Credit Men obtained such a
list and found thereon the names of
some of its own members'.
It gave the peculiarities of these
members and their weaknesses. And,

these- six doubtful states will in all
political likelihood have control of
the senate and thus make or mar the
foreign policy of the president.
In Conpecticut a bitter senatorial
fight is now on, although the candi
dates have not been formally nomi
nated. Senator Frank B. Brandegee
will undoubtedly be named by the
republicans to succeed himself. Sena
tor Brandegee has long been a politi
cal power In the Nutmeg state. He
broke into politics In 1888 by being
elected to the general assembly and
has been going to republican national
conventions ever since. He was elected
to the house of representatives in 1902
and was elevated to the senate In 1905.
He has twice been re-elected. A third
term senator is a power at Washing
ton. Senator Brandegee, however, was
one of the treaty irreconcilables, and
he has seriously antagonized the wom
en voters. Opposed to him will be

committee and a strong advocate of

edge, it was accurate. f.
C. D. West, manager of the investi
gation and prosecution department of
the national association, has made a
number of arrests of business crooks.
From his headquarters at "Washing
ton, working in ciose'eontact with the
department of justice, he directs the
operations of the organization agents.
Men have been tracked with stolen
stocks and with assets after going
through bankruptcy, with but the
smallest of clews to begin the search.
The minuteness of the clews was
exemplified in a story told bv Mr.
West himself of two Kentuckians
sampling some Bourbon before the
arid decree. One detected an unusual
taste in th liquor. The other replied
he couldn't perceive the unusual taste,
but did notice a slight odor of leather.
The barrel was examined and a small
leather-headed upholstery tack dis
covered in its bottom.
"That illustrates the fact that
crooks will leave at least some tiny
clew behind." says Mr. West. "We
have followed and caught crooks who
used typewriters with slight peculiar
ities. Others we have traced by the
usage of words or the style of their
letter writing. A man who wrote a
date line by spelling out the date was
Identified as a repeated offender."
Tea Different Men Traced.
In all ten different men were traced
in this manner from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
The Portland bureau of the national
association, headed by A. T. Schoube,
recently made plans to keep in close
touch with activities of these crooks
because of an exodus from the east.
The west, heretofore the "dumping
ground" of stolen stocks and stocks
obtained on credit, has shifted Its
position with an influx of easterners,
and crime syndicates are originated
here. The stocks are now-being sent

crooks by the association. The Pa

a large sum for carrying on such
work. '
Credit Workers Co-operate.

votes out of a total of 200,000. The
contest this year between Cummlngs
and Brandegee will be close, but Cum

he will win.
In Idaho the situation is unsettled.
The retiring senator is a democrat.
John V. Nugent, a Boise lawyer, who
was elected in 1918 to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator James
H. Brady. Nugent is new to the sen
ate and has done little to attract pub
lic attention to himself. Politically,
Idaho is always a doubtful state. Of
late years it has leaned toward the
democratic party, although Senator
Borah has three times been elected
from this state. During the past two
years, however, the non-partisan
league has invaded Idaho, and the
league now holds the balanpe of
power. Idaho recently abolished the
direct primary and reverted to the
convention system of nominations. It
is regarded as practically certain that
Senator Nugent will be named to suc
ceed hirfiself, but until his republican
opponent is chosen and until the non
partisan leaprue indicates its position.

Portland credit men who are behind
the movement to stamp out this evil

the credit association. Besides Mr.
Schoubi, as head of this committee,
there are J. L. Talbot, R. W. Jamie

Exactly 156 local credit associations
throughout the United States are co

COME IS a word not easily de
fined. To Hugh Walpole It
means Cornwall and a little cottage
with a flower garden "and some
vegetables, too, in these days." It is
home to him because bis heart is
there. This was nofhard to discover,
for his face was an open page, on
which was written, "America is all
right,- but there is no place like
Cornwall." Should you judge a man's
home to be where he spends the most
time, it would ba hard to locate Mr.
Waldpole's, for he divides part of the
year between London and Cornwall
and spends what is left in traveling.
I talked with him for a few min

up from the south, where he had been
fishing and living in the open for a
while. The sun had given him a
coat of sunburn nard to believe pos
sible from the outlook of a, bleak late
winter day in Philadelphia. The out-of-doors
and Mr. Walpole are on
very good terms, indeed. London
holds him for about four months, but

every opportunity that takes him far
afield.

Sitaatloa In Illinois.
Ordinarily, Illinois would be relied
upon to elect a republican senator.
There are two factors, however,
which serve to complicate the situa
tion this year. Both of these lac
tors are personal. The name of om
is William Hale Thompson and the
name of the. other is Lawrence Y.
Sherman. The first is the mayor of
Chicago. The second is the retiring
senator. - Senator Sherman desires to
succeed himself. Mayor Thompson is
now in control of "the republican or
ganization in Illinois. What he will
do with this 'control remains to be
teen. If he permits the renomination
of Senator Sherman and supports him
at the polls, the senator will probably

In two sections, one is in London and
the other in Cornwall; but the only
library he carries with him when he
travels is the store of information,
insight and appreciation he carries
in his head. But people grip Hugh
Walpole, too, as well as books, and
this is one reason why he is so de
voted to travel. He sees personality
in people and Individuality in places,
and there is little that is common
place or dull. One cannot forget the
things he writes about nor the people
he makes alive for you. The reason
they make such a big appeal is. be
cause they were so real to him. Only
lately. In speaking of -his trip to this
country, -e said he had been re
warded by three things from his trip:
The firrt is a sense of America's
size, the second an experience of
America's kindness of heart and the
third is a composite picture of the
American. I shall never, until I diet

realize how thesemovie

degree.

Sullivan continued: "I htvt
been expectajly Interested in
the statement of Miss Mar

screen triumphs have, with
in a very short time,
given ber widespread
popularity. ' In the roles
which Miss Daw has played

the same meatis as Miss Daw for keep
ing her blood rich in strength-giving
Iron, there wo-ild be far less numbers
who would find themselves tired out
and nervous when they should be strong,
energetic and filled with vitality."
In Miss Daw's statement to which Dr.
it has shown In the past by refusing
to conciliate the opposition, the next
senator from Illinois will be a demo
crat. Whether It is voting for president,
for governor or for senator, Indiana
is always "doubtful." Not for a
quarter of a century-has a politician
made up a list of doubtful states
without placing Indiana at the head
of It. Indiana, in truth, is the prize
doubtful state and this year, as far as
senatorial election Is concerned. It
is Just as doubtful as ever. Senator
James B. Watson will be a candidate
to succeed himself and his opponent
will be Tom Taggart, the demo
cratic boss of the state. This should
be a battle royal.
Taggart Defeated in 1918.
In'1916 Taggart, then a senator by
appointment to fill a vacancy, ran
against Watson and was defeated by
a narrow margin. Since that time
Taggart has been busy repairing 'his
fences. His every day has been de
voted to the task of preparing for
1920 and Indiana politicians say that
he has made progress. Although Tag
gart is a boss and Watson is a sena
tor, both are politicians of the old
school. With both, politics is not
only a business but a science as well.
In an Article such as this, which Is
devoted largely to a forecast of the
future, it would not be out of place
to surmise that there will probably
be' real politics played In Indiana be
tween now and next November.
In New York a spirited contest Is
already in progress between United
States Senator James W. Wadsworth
Jr. and Lieutenant-Governor Harry
C. Walker. The "designation" of Sen
ator Wadsworth for renomination
came as a surprise to persons unac
quainted with the mechanism of New
York politics. In no state in the
Union are political machines so all-
powerful as they are in the Bmpire
state. It is true that Senator Wads
worth has not yet been technically
renominated. 'Two independent can
didates. George Henry Payne and
MrS. Ella Boole, have filed against
him, but no person acquainted with
the New York primary law imagines
for a moment that Senator Wads
worth will fail of renomination. The
mere fact that the republican organ
ization, by a' practically unanimous
vote at its official convention,
would designate Wadsworth in the
face of the protests of the suffragists
r-at a time when New York already
had woman suffrage and the pro
tests of the prohibition element, ex
ceptionally strong in upper New
York, is of Itself an Indication of the
organization's knowledge of its own
strength.
Ttryu Fight Wadsworth.
Senator Wadsworth will be fought
at the polls by the prohibitionists and
by the suffragists. Prohibition senti
ment Is strong, very etrorrg, outside
of New .York City. New York City
Itself is normally democratic. The
answer would seem to be obvious.
With the defection of the so-called
moral element in the republican
party of New York state, there is
only one thing which can save Sena

of the Tammany organization. The

earth.
"There are few places lefc that I

the record of his life has something
to do with it; for what man could be
insular and unfriendly who had been
born in Australia and lived his early
life In New York; who- spends his
summers in Cornwall and his winters
in London an- manages to find a few
months out of the 12 to travel? He
simply does not want to be a "for

fisher-folk of Cornwall know him
perhaps better than most people, for
his love of the downs and sky and

that end of England, where great
stretches of rock break up from the

MISS MARJORIE DAW
When Beautiful Marjorie Daw became tired and care
worn from the eifec-t of long hours and bard work
for the screen it was to Xuxated Iron she turned to
rebuild her waited etrength and forces and give ber
renewed energy and power.
Sullivan referred ' above, she says: "To
win and retain public favor, the men
and women engaged In motion picture
work must at all times keep themselves
physically fit and able to undertake the
mo8t difficult roles that are demanded of
them. Radiant health and strong nerves
make successful movie stars and I . be
lieve that if more people in any walk
pf life realized the important part health
plays In making them successes or fail
ures, more people would take steps to
build themselves up. Few of the people
who watch us in our pictures kuow of
Tammany leaders can easily swing
their followers to a "wet" candidate
for anything. Without Tammany
Senator Wadsworth cannot be elected.
There is a suspicion abroad that the
republican organization knew this
and 'provided for it before Senator
Wadsworth was designated. This sus
picion was not lessened when the
democratic "eonference," dominated
by Tammany, recently "suggested"
Lieutenant-Governor Walker as the
democratic candidate for United
States senator.
Last on the list of real doubtful
states, as far as United States sena-
torships are concerned, is Ohio, which
is about to become the mother of an
other president. Senator Harding is
the retiring senator from that state.
In fact, in the dark hours of his
presidential candidacy In Chicago
Senator Harding threw an anchor to
windward by filing as a candidate to
succeed himself. He afterward with
drew and ex-Governor Frank B.
Willis was named. Opposed to Mr.
Willis Is W. A. Julian. Mr. Willis is
an experienced campaigner, but it is
the boast of Ohio democrats that Gov
ernor Cox twice "took his measure."
Whether Mr. Julian, who is a new
comer In national politics, could do as
well on his own merits will probably
never be definitely determined. In.
Ohio, at least, the presidential race
will greatly overshadow any sena
torial contest, and if one may be
permitted another guess It seems
probable that the people of Ohio, In
voting for one of their fellow Ohioans
for president, will also vote for a sen
ator of like political faith.
History to Repeat Itself.
The local conditions which have
been outlined with regard to the six
doubtful states will, of course, be in
fluenced by the tide of the presiden
tial campaign. In the other states
this Influence will not. of course, bo
as strong as It will be in Ohio, but
nevertheless it will be felt. There
are many voters independent men
and women, too who are ready to
"let the tail go with the hid'e," as they
say out west. There are the voters
who, between now and November,
will make up their minds as to
whether they prefer Cox or Harding
for president and having decided that,
they will go down the party column
at least as far as the congressional
ticket. This has been the history of
elections in the past. There is nothing
to indicate that it will not be repeated
in 1920. If there is a landslide for
either Cox or Harding, that landslide
will carry with it an overwhelming
J control of both houses of congress.
ir. as now seems probable, the election
is close, the senatorial results In a
few. doubtful states should be suffi
ciently influenced by the national tide
to carry to the successful candidate at
least a clear working majority in the
senate.
If this should be the result, there
would be something to be thankful
for no matter who wins the presi
dency. The country would be saved
the horror of another two years of
rabid partisanship and be permitted
to enter, at last, upon a period of re
construction. (Copyright. 1920. by New York Eve-

In telling me about his life in
Cornwall, he said: "I know all the
ins and outs of Cornwall, because Its
beauty lured na and because I lova
to tramp.
"Days and days .at a time I have
spent hunting up new and the many
picturesque spots for which Cornwall
is noted. I love to walk for the fun
of the exercise, but in that part of
England, particuarly, walking has an
added zest, because of the unexpected
and beautiful places one finds on
every side. Nothing has been spoiled
down there. It is as God made it.
and everything that man has done,
instead of detracting from the gen
eral scheme of things, has added to it.
"It is said the natives of Cornwall
are so fond of pastries that they
utilize everything that comes their
way in the making of them; conse
quently, the devil himself is afraid
to enter Cornwall for fear he will
be stirred in the pie."

the most beautiful women of

It is surprising how many women
who are weak, tired-out and nerv
ous, suffer from Iron deficiency and
do not know it. If you are not strong
and 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 times per day
after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength and see how much
