are coming to the city, which already had a reputation for its consumption of magazines and other periodicals per capita. One Patron Does Not Read - Practically every farmer takes one or. two Richmond papers and most of them take a . dally paper from Indianapolis. . Postmaster Beck, personally, encountered only one Richmond rural route patron who does not take a newspaper. Probably the greatest advancement Jn service is the motorization of the rural routes and the rearrangement into four routes averaging 50 miles each in length. The motorized service began Jan. 3 in a period of weather conditions which made the experiment apparently a failure. Several changes were made and Feb. 18 the final routes were completed as they now stand. Farmers as a rule have been very liberal in the past year, in assisting in carrying out whatever suggestions have been made for the improvement of service, some even taking the initiative. Postmaster Beck said. Only about 10 percent of the patrons have failed to respond while others have gravelled and filled approaches, have painted boxes and have gone further by improving their fences and portions of their lands on the roads.

SHORTAGE OF GOAL LEAVES ALL MILTON IN TOTAL DARKNESS

MILTON, Ind., Dec. 28. Business in many of Milton's stores was suspended Tuesday night when the town was left in total darkness by failure of the Connersville Electric plant to provide current. The plant's coal supply was depleted and could not be replenished before Wednesday morning. Some of the stores which have their own lighting systems continued business, bo perhaps the greatest inconvenience was experienced in the homes where candles and coal oil lamps had to be called into service. The coating of ice on the dark streets made travel by pedestrians extremely hazardous. CHOIR MAKES TRIP TO SISTER CHURCH

Iron Is The Greatest of All Strength Builders, Says Doctor A Secret of the Great Endurance and Power of Athletes

Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make

Delicate, Nervous. Rundown People 200 Per Cent. Stronger in Two Weeks' Time In Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Most people

foolishly seem to think they are going

to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or naracotic drug, said Dr. Sauer, a well known Specialist who

has studied widely both in this country

anu Europe wnen, as a matter of fact, rral and true strength can only come

nom the food you eat. But people

often fail to get the strength out of

r.elr food because they haven't ?r.ough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into' living matter.

From their weakened, nervous conJitlon they know something is wrong but they can't tell what, so they gen

erally commence doctoring for stomich, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of Iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you re 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. have seen dozens of nervous, runlown people who were ailing all the

htle, double their strength and eniurance and entirely get ride of all lymptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other roubles in from ten to fourteen days' ime simply by taking iron in the iroper form. And this after they had tx some cases been doctoring for

months. without obtaining 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 if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prizefighter 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 down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. NOTE Nuxated Iron recommended sbove by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents is widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere.Unlike the older inorganic iron, products, It is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them

black, nor 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 confidence in Nuxated Iron that

they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot takeany man or woman nnder 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 re

fund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by Conkey Drug Co., Thi3tlethwalte Drug Stores and all other druggists. -
