Greenfield States
His Side of Case
Portland Attorney Against Whom Com
plaint Is riled by Bar Association,
ays Charges Without Merit.
Salem, Or.. May 26. The Multnomah
County Bar association has filed a
formal complaint against J. R. Green
field, attorney of Portland, alleging
unprofessional conduct In the adjust
ment of a divorce proceeding filed by
Rows Scherrer of Salem, Or., nearly
two years ago. The complaint alleges
that Greenfield secured the decree for
Scherrer on the grounds of desertion,
and after the decree was granted in
duced tha former Mrs. Scherrer to sue
Mr. Scherrer for a half Interest in
property which he had inherited after
the divorce was granted.
Greenfield states that he did secure
the divorce for Mr. Scherrer and that
his client did inherit a $3600 estate
about six months afterwards, and that
when Mrs. Scherrer discovered this
fact she instituted proceedings to se
cure her share of the estate, alleging
that the decree was granted by default
and that Scherrer had alleged deser
tion as grounds for obtaining tha de
cree, which in fact had not continued
for a full year prior to the commence
ment of the suit, as required by
statute. Greenfield says that she was
represented in this proceeding by
Jesse L. Sumrall, former United States
deputy district attorney, located at
Portland until about two years ago,
and that consequently the complaint
against Greenfield is without merit
and cannot be substantiated.

Like A Boy at 50 Bubbling Over
With Vitality 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
century old and aaked me to give
him a preliminary examination for life
lnawnce. I was astonished to fina
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
Joinc man he really wa notwith.ta.nd
fnailB age. The secret he said was
tSflnairon nuxated iron haa filled
him with renewed life. At SO ne was
in bad health; at careworn and
nearly all in. Now at 80 a miracle of
vitaiitv and his face beaming with the
h lovancy of youth. As I have aid a
hundred time, over. Iron Is the greatest
of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medi
cines and nauaeous concoctions and
tike simple nuxated iron, I am con
vinced that the Uvea of thousands of
ie?son. might ba aaved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases wa noth
ine more nor leas than a weakened con
dition brought on by lack of iron la
the blood. Iron la absolutely necessary
to enable your blood to change food
Into living tissue. Without It, no mat
ter how much or what you eat, your
food merely passes through you with
out doing ypn any good. You don't
get the strength out of it and as a con
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking Just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient In iron. If
you are not strong or well you owe it
to vourself to make tha following test:
