RECEIVES NO WORD FROM SOLDIER SON SERVING IN MEXICO Mrs. Oliver Osbora, a widow and dressmaker living at 1417 South C street, is in more trouble today than she was several weeks ago. After days of worry, she has received no word from her son, Gordon Osborn, 20, who is believed to be serving under Major-general Funston in Mexico. Two weeks ago, she sent $125 to the war department with the understanding that she could by this means purchase her son's release from the army m which he had enlisted a year ago last January at Columbus, O. She immediately received a letter from her son saying that he would return to her. Since sending the money, she has received no word from her son nor from any of the army officials and is at a loss to know where her son Is or whether her plea for his release will be successful. The money she had sent him represented months of hard work and today she is heartbroken at the thought that perhaps her son is now in active service in Mexico in the attempt to "get Villa."

SORROW OF BY EDGAR ILIFF. eMyiPJV fitry," by Louisa of Tuscany, ex-crown princess of Saxony, has been published and the world can now see the inside history of her persecution and sorrows. Those noble lines from Shakespeare 'Tis better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers in content, Than to be perked up in a glittering grief And wear a golden sorrow, should be the motto of the title page of her book, for her sad career from girlhood to the present time fully emphasizes the truth pf them. Princess Louisa's sins were that she was honest, frank, natural and womanly. These are the sins against the social holy ghost in an artificial state of society. She was just that a natural, unperverted woman. She had a heart and a brain. For these she paid the penalty. Seeing the display of wealth and the frightful waste in the royal society which surrounded her, the inquiry flashed upon her honest brain:1 "Who produces this wealth? My family does not work. Somebody must bear the burden of it all. Straight as a ray of light her mind shot to the truth: The common people were carrying the royal family and the court aristocracy upon their bended backs of toil, and she hated the condition. Asking questions about it when a girl brought severe reprimands upon her, and she was told by the priests and her tutors that it was unbecoming a princess to concern herself with such matters. She retorted angrily, "I want to be a woman first and then a princess." Seeing the young women around her married off by arrangement of those in authority, regardless .of any ties of love or companionship, she asked some of them if they had ever been in love, and if their husbands were affectionate and devoted, and she was told that such subjects were not discussed in royal society, and that she had better keep still. "We were not educated for ourselves," she says, "but merely to live in the eyes of the world; our young lives were sacrificed to position, and we were not supposed to possess any individuality or display of emotion. I suffered martyrdom through the tortures of this restricted and artificial upbringing. Palace life is a network of petty tyranny, for everybody preys on or tries to rule over some one else. They seem to think that their mission in life is either to issue orders or to ape their masters. Even as a child I saw that envy, hatred and malice are greatly in evidence in a palace, and Christian virtues very rare." Louisa was bethrothed and married to Frederick August, son of King George of Saxony, and went to live in a court of piety, bigotry and religious mania. Everybody was ruled through fear and, and " to help along, spies were employed all through the royal family. Speaking of her father-in-law, ; she says: I "Poor, bigoted, intolerant man! He lived out of his time, which ought to have been in the palmy days of the Inquisition, and I think that his greatest pleasure in life would have consisted in having a daily auto-da-fe until he had burned all the Protestants in Saxony." Louisa became a mother, and she expressed a desire to be a real mother, who could personally nurse, wash and dress her own babes. "I don't want to be a princess to my baby. I want to be a human mother just its mother, j whom it can love to its heart's consent, and there won't be a single question of etiquette to trouble ourselves about when we are together." i But the royal conclave of doctors,

FUNSTON QUESTIONS FAITH OF CARRANZA SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 27. That Carranzista troops are actually hostile to the American forces operating around Namiquipa in the hunt for Villa was practically admitted by Maj. Gen. Funston today. He clearly . Indicated that the Mexican government troops are not co-operating with Gen. Pershing's column. - General Funston declared untrue a report that Villa had escaped by breaking through the American lines. He asserted that the bandit leader. had escaped a carefully laid trap by breaking through the Carranza lines. .When asked if the Carranzistas were believed to have. purposely permitted this General Funston said: "Far be it from me to attack the integrity of our supposed allies."

EARLHAM LOSES AND WINS DEBATE Debating season at Earlham college closed last week when in a series of debates with Indiana university debaters at Carthage and Edinburg, John Haramy and Kenneth Mitchell, taking the affirmative side won out at Carthage while the negative side was defeated at Edinburg by James Hoerner and Josiah Marvel. The subject of discussion was "."".esolvec!, that Indiana Should Adopt Initiative and Referendum." A WOMAN priests and flunkies decided otherwise. She was not permitted to perform the holiest" office on earth motherhood. What a crime in the name of government and religion! . She had six children, sweet boys and girls, and sometimes she was permitted to have them with her in the country. "I washed and dressed them," she says; "played with them, taught them their simple little prayers, and if they were ill I never left them, day or night. They were my pride and my dearest possessions, and they repaid all my devotion by growing up beautiful, healthy children, who were both natural and obedient. I always allowed their Individualities to develop freely, because I was determined that they should have a choice of becoming broad-minded, and, in future days, captains of their souls." Think of that! A noble woman dreaming that her children might escape the tyranny of her own position dreaming that they might become "broad-minded and captains of their souls." But this dream was dashed from her. Those in power were determined that her children should be trained in all that was petty and mean and contemptible, and the mother was banished from court and exiled and never permitted to see her babies again. In all the tragedies of life there is none more terrible than this the unburied dead, the open graves, the tomb not made of clay, but of hearts! She says the maternal instinct was the strongest force in her. No wonder she writes, years after this tragic separation: "I never see a fruit-laden cherry tree without thinking of those bygone summers when the children and I used to go into the orchard to pick cherries. I climbed a ladder and threw down the scarlet fruit to the dear little expectant hands. Oh, happy days spent with my loved ones, vanished now forever! The summer always has regrets for me; the sraell of the hay, the scent of the roses, the long, drowsy days and the warm, still nights all stab me with memories which I shall carry with me to my grave." Here was a single human being, called woman, trying to be real, vainly endeavoring to be the captain of her soul. sThe court circle at Dresden was , made up of the most narrowminded, evil-speaking and conceited collection of human beings ever brought together. They were absolutely superfluous in this world. They bored each other. They hated each other. Yet they though their mission in life was to keep up appearances, and they believed that God had created them solely to show an admiring world what He meant by perfection. Their pride, of birth and rank was sickening to any one who was really intellectual and broad-minded. To protect their exalted virtues they used spies on other people. What Robert Burns said "To a Louse" should everywhere be applied to such sham aristocracy: O wad some power the gifties gie us, To see ourselves as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion. But Louisa looked beyond these royal fakers and saw the common people, and of them said: "They are the backbone of any nation. They are free from the dullness of aristocracy. They alone are the intellectuals who think and understand. They are the only ones who count in my estimation. The merchant is better bred and far more agreeable than an pompous duke or lord. The ordinary clerk, lawyer or medical man is far superior to the so-called clever aristocrat or count today."

Jess Willard Says "Take Nuxated Iron If you want plenty of 'stay there' Strength and Endurance and Health and Muscles like mine." A Hitherto Untold Secret of His Great Victory Over Jack Johnson Ordinary nuxated iron will often increase the strength and endurance of delicate, nervous folks 200 per cent in two weeks time. I consider that plenty of iron in my blood is the secret of my great strength, power and endurance. SPECIAL NOTE Dr. E. Sauer, a well known physician of this city, has been specially employed to make a thorough investigation into the real secret of the great strength, power and endurance of Jess Willard, and the marvelous value of organic iron as a strength builder. NEW YORK. Upon being interviewed at his apartment in the Colonial Hotel, Mr. Willard said: "Yes, I have a cnemits with me to study the value of different foods and products as to their power to produce great strength and endurance, both of which are so necessary in the prize ring. On his recommendation I have often taken Iron and I have particularly advocated the free use of iron by all those who wish to obtain great physical and mental power. Without it I am sure that I should never have been-able to whip Jack Johnson so completely and easily as I did, and while now training for

Two seconds after a giant moguj locomotive with an eight-wheel drive thunders across a burning railroad bridge in the "Iron Rivals," at the Lyric tonight, the bridge Is blown to atoms with dynamite. There is no faking this scene. The Universal doesn't fake. It has unlimited capital to do things right and if It cost the equivalent of a star's salary for a year to engage an engine and train for the production of "The Iron Rivals" it should not concern any one except the Universal. "The Iron Rivals" features Marie Walcamp in the role of a daring young telegraph operator. She attempts to warn her friends of an attempt to blow up a railroad bridge, finds herself being carried away In a runaway engine and leaps eighty feet Into a stream from the engine cab as the engine roars across a bridge.

my fight with Frank Moran, I am regularly taking nuxated iron." Continuing Dr. Sauer said, "Mr. Willard's case is only one of hundreds which I could cite from my own personal experience which proves conclusively the astonishing power of iron to restore strength and vitality even In most complicated chronic conditions." 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, notwithstanding 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 nearly all in. Now at 50 a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyance 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, constipation, kidney, liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought ori by lack of iron in the blood. Iron i3 absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking just like a plant frying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or 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 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 seen dozens of nervous run-down people who were ailing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without ob-. taining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced Iron, Iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron il you want it to do you any good, otherwise It may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter 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 affray, while many another has gone to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. E. Sauer, M. D. ' NOTE. Nuxated Iron, recommend ed by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medfr cine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whos iron constituents are widely prescribe ed by eminent physicians everywhere Unlike the older inorganic iron pro. ducts, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, made them black, nof upset the stomach; on the contrary. It is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great conffc dence in Nuxated iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot - taken any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent, or over in four weeks time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund v your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance In ten days' time. It is dispensed In, thi -city by all good druggists.
