newer form of iron which 1 call Nuxated Iron, I employed a special form of iron, which is like the iron in your blood and like the iroh in spinach, lentils and apples. 1 Unlike the older forms of iron, it will not injure the teeth nor disturb the stomach, and it is ready for almost immediate absorption and assimilation by the blood. It is the people whose blood is rich in iron who possess great strength, force and energy. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: Cut out trial coupon and go to any druggist and get your first trial package of Nuxated Iron; then see how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two 5-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times a day after meals for two weeks, then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. An astonishing number of nervous, rundown pgSple who yecre ailing all the while, have greatly improved their health and increased their strength, energy and endurance simply by taking this newer form of iron.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Robert Koran, newspaper correspondent .accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in IhOH. They arrive at -Mombassa. the “gateway to British East Africa.” and then make the longs railroad journey to their first camp in Hap game-crowded Kapiti Plains. After a wonderfully sueeessful shooting trip in the Sotik country, the expedition camps for more hunting at a farm called Saigai-Sai. After several other trips they invado the Gu6o Nyero elephant country and meet with more pood sport The Roosevelts are the guests of Lord Delamere on a farm at Njoro Foran goes to Nairobi. Kerrait Roosevelt passes through Nairobi en route to the Mhigiba Hills, near Mombassa In Quest of the rare sable antelope. . Kermit tells of having stalked and kiled two fine bongo in the bamboo forests at Nioro. vow GO OX WITH THE STORY SHE bongo Is only found in the thick forests in certain parts of East Africa. The yVandorobo natives are adepts at stalking and killing them, hut there are only two cases on record where a European had secured a specimen as the result of his own individual hunting. Capt. H. Chauncey Stigand had stalked and shot one singlehanded; and the other case Is one of rather doubtful authenticity. The bongo is a kind of hybrid bushbuck, with long white tips to its horns and a striped coat. The Wandorobo hunters crawl along the narrow forest paths—a very difficult task—and then, when they see a bongo, silently shoot their quarry with bow and arrow. They also hunt them down and kill them with trained hunting dogs. Kermit had gone out with Cole and a few Wandorobo hunters, and on his own initiative had stalked and shot the two bongo. He had thus created a world’s record, for he Is the only man who has stalked and personally killed two bongo. Kermit Roosevelt, indeed, had ample cause to be proud of himself, for he had performed a feat which an older and more experienced hunter might well be elated over. Mofeover, this success had placed his name high up on the list of successful big game hunters, and he had served his own country well, for he had given to one of their museums of natural history a series of three very rare specimens of African animal

life. This bongo group would he the only complete museum broup in the world. Colonel Roosevelt arrived back in Nairobo on Dec. 11. He was simply bubbling over with pride at Kerrr.it's astounding successes after bongo. "The task of hunting bongo was for a much younger man than my■self,” he exclaimed to me. "I had not even the good fortune to see a bongo!” One thing had always impressed me during those long months of close association with them, and that was the remarkable relationship existing between father and son. They were such real companions, and ideal comrades, for such a hunting trip of such a character as this had been. It always did my heart good to see how proud the father always was of any deed of his son. although many fathers, In like circumstances, might not be entirely proof against a spirit of jealousy. CHAPTER XXTT Across the Victoria Nyanza Hvhen the train left Nairobi, Dec. 18, there was a great ovation of eheering*ind waving of hats. Roosevelt was very much touched by the warmth and friendliness of that farewell from Nairobi. We reached Kisumu early next morning and our train ran on to the pier alongside of the Clement Hill, which vessel was to convey us across the Victoria Nyanza to Entebba. The American flag was bx-oken at the foremast of the ship as Colonel Roosevelt reached the deck, and this is the first time in history that one of the Uganda Railway steamers had flown an American flag. Next day would find ns all landing at Entebba, the capital of Nganda, with all the trails of anew and arduous journey, through the very heart of Africa to Egypt, before us. We should be among new people. In a new land, and have to struggle with the Intricates of an entirely new native dialect.

tion; on the morrow would commence another. We had now shaken the dust of British East Africa off our shoes, and Colonel Roosevelt's thoughts were now centered upon the Lado Enclave and the white rhinoceros, which he so much desired to* get. I knew that Cunningliame would not be happy until at least one of these animals had fallen a victim to Colonel Roosevelt’s rifle. The white rhinoceros, which is distinguished ay a peculiar snout, somewhat re•einbling the hippopotamus in q uareness, derives its name not from its color —for it is far from being white—but from the fact that it is practically only to be found on the White Nile. Soon after 11 o'clock in the morning of Dec. 20 we caught our first

glimpse of lovely Entebba. In about an hour we had entered the peaceful harbor and had warped against the pier. As the gangway was lowered and made fast, the chief secretary to the Government of Uganda came aboard to pay the respects of the acting governor and to take Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit to be his guests at the government house. In his wake had come all the leading officials of Uganda. On the pier we could see a khaki-clad, red-tur-. banned guard-of-honor, composed of Sikh soldiers of the Sixth (Uganda) King's African Rifles. They were waiting to pay respect

to the ex-President of the United States as soon as he set foot on the shore. CHAPTER XXIII At Entebbe and Kampala Entebbe was the most charming spot we had seen in our African travels. There was a wealth of luxuriant vegetation, the vivid green of which blended with dark tropical , plants and trees and the blue waters of the lake. On the evening of our arrival the acting governor gave a dinner at the government house in honor of Colonel Roosevelt. This was followed by a reception for all the leading officials and commercial residents of Entebbe in order that as many people as possible might have a chance

of meeting the famous statesman. Cuninghame—Tarlton had come with us to Uganda—the three naturalists and myself remained on board the Clement Hill that night to sleep, for we were leaving on her for Kampala at the hour of dawn. I was now the only newspaper correspondent trailing the Roosevelt expedition, and was the sole survivor of all the small army of so-called war correspondents who had started out from New Y"ork with Roosevelt on Marcn 23. I had now been with Theodore Roosevelt almost continuously for nine months. After an Informal reception at the

home of the provincial commissioner, F. A. Knowles, Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit drove with Mr. Knowles to pay a visit to the Mill Hill Fathers' Roman Catholic mission, where they were due to lunch with the Right. Rev. Bishop Hanlan and the American Rev. Mother Superior of tlie Convent, Mother Paul, both much loved and venerated in Uganda. Colonel Roosevelt was more than delighted with all he saw at the mission and. speaking to me afterward, declared that he was "enchanted” with Mother Paul —for a more delightful woman it would be impossible to meet. After lunch with Bishop Hanlan, Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit went to call on the little boy king of Uganda, Daudi Chwa, who nominally ruled with the aid of his prime minister and regent. Sir Appolo Kagwa, K. C. M. G. After a brief halt at the king's palace, they di'ove off to visit Bishop Steicher at the White Fathei-s’ mission, and from there went on to meet Bishop Tucker at the Church Missionai'y Society’s station, where

Colonel Roosevelt performed the cerentony of declaring open the new wing of Dr. Cook's Hospital there. And, in the evening, Mr. Knowlaa gave a large ehnner party in honor, ,of his guest. It had been a very full day. While all these functions were taking place. Cunninghame. the three naturalists and myself had gone into camp.
