Jackie Is Not Pampered Kid, but Hard Working Youngster -—" i—nwfl JACKIE COOGAN

Are rr.iilion-dollar baby movie stars pampered? Jackie Coogan says not. When he meets the children of Indianapolis Thursday, Aug,. 7, to tell them about his latest “mercy stunt,” he proposes to show the youngsters he is in no danger of becoming a lily-bearing, anaemic son of sick poetry when he grows up. It is told from Hollywood Jackie loves his “daily dozen," and the family “gym,” and his physical directors are favorites with him. Os course, every once in a while Jackie decides he would rather sleep a little longer mornings, and then Dad Coogan reminds his son if he isn’t in the pink of condition, a substiftite for some of the movie stunts in Jackie’s next picture will be on the job. Coogan Junior is then out of bed like a flash. He resents the mere suggestion of a “double" or subs itute. Jackie spends about four hours a day before the camera. This leaves him ample time for recreate and exercise. Jackie puts pep into everything he does.. If he plays, he plays with all hiY might and main - if he studies, he studio till his forehead bulges; if he works, it is with vital earnestness, and if he eats —well, have you* ever seen a healthy 9 year old boy rampant with a knife ar.d fork? To Bed at Night Jackie partakes of very little red meat —his long suit is green* and fruit. When the clock strikes 8 Jackie is tucked into bed. Just now Jackie’s well-being is being watched with even more than usual solicitude, for he has a long journey before him. He starts eastward as soon as his next picture is finished and before he returns to Hollywood will have headed a children’s crusade to the / Near East, collected and distributed a million-dollar cargo of food and clothing for the nearly starved little ones of Greece. Armenia. Palestine and Syria. Jackie will “command” the great steel ship to sail from New York in September with his rich cargfo of love and greeting from fortunate America. According to Mr. and Mrs. Coogan their son w'ill never have a greater role than the one he will assume as leader of the ‘‘Modern Children's

Crusade," a genuine mission of mercy. Jackie will spend a day and night in Indianapolis so every child in the city may meet and greet him.

‘DOLLAR DOWN’ PLAN TRIED ON AUTO LICENSES State Clerk Says 'Motor Poor’ Parties Try to Get Cut Prices on Plates, “A Dollar Down, Dollar a Week” Th 6 poorest citizen now has a chance to enjoy the richest luxuries. The romantic possibilities of buying muon with little or nothing at the outset have at last driven the installment plan fan to the State. Auto License Bureau, according to Frank A. Richards, assistant manager. “Pay for It Saturday” Only last week a man came to the bureau and asked if he could have 1 his license and pay for it on Saturday. “That man,” said Richards, “has no business ownipg a car. In business, if a man’s time is worth as much as he expends in gasoline, oil upkeep and depreciation on a car, he is being economical- If the car is used for pleasure alone, its owner has to have sufficient. Income to pay all his other expenses before keeping up a car. Otherwise he- has no business owning it. Yet hundreds of car owners are paying the butcher, the grocer and the baker and buying clothing and furniture on the instalment plan in order to keep their cars running. Wants Half Price "A man came in the fiter day for a $5 license with only $2.50 in his pocket— apparently all he ha/1. He expected to get a license at half price. The date for half price licences is yet several weeks off. He will have to letTiis car stay in the garage because he hasn't money enough to get a license for more than a half year at a time. That man didn’t business owning a car. “It cost? 50 to 75 cents a day. Including all expenses of operating, upkeep, interest and parking, for a man to drive a car down to work and back home at night.. It costs 7 cents to ride on a street ear. The auto saves ten to twenty minutes time. Unless that ten or .twenty minutes is worth the difference to the auto driver, he is spending money he should not spend. He is anything but moderately economical.” And still they come, says Richards, with empty pockets and no bank accounts, taking care above everything else that they have an automobile to ride in. while the hutcher, the baker and the candlestick maker wonder how they're going to collect.

a Cause of WOMEN'S ILLS WOMEN OFTEN THINK THEY HAVE HEART TROUBLE. INDIGESTION, NERVOUS PROSTRATION, ETC., WHEN IT’S SIMPLY -IRON STARVATION OF THE BLOOD. Many women believe they are weak and nervous as result of age, worry and overwork: they think that their disturbed digestion, headaches, heart palpitation, shortness of breath, pains across the back, etc., are due to some serious disease instead of the real cause—iron starvation of the blood. This is prov en by the fact that when many of these same women take organic iron for awhile all their alarming symptoms quickly disappear and they become strong, robust and healthy. Iron Is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living cells and (tissue. Without it nothing you eat does you the proper amount of good—you do not get the strength out of it. If you are not strong and well do not wait until you go all to puieces a\d collapse in a state of nervous prostration, but take some organic iron—Nuxated Iron —at once. But be sure it’s organic iron and not metallic iron which people usually take and which is made rnerelv by the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron. Organic Ni'XATED IRON Is like the iron in your blood and like (he Iron in spinach, lentils and apples and it often increases the bodily and mental vigor of weak, woruout women in two week’s time. Beware of substitutes. Look for thV word “Nuxated” on every package and the letters N. I. on every tablet. Your money will be refunded by the manufacturers if you do not obLiin perfectly satisfactory results. At all druggists.—Advertisement,
