Ransom, D.D., who has had this charge for four years and six months, being assigned to St. Paul church, Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Griffin comes highly recommended as a Christian minister, and is said to be classed among the strongest pulpit orators in the connection. A cultured, intellectual and refined gentleman and his success as a preacher and pastor in his twenty years ministry, has been a high and most gratifying career. He is said not only to be a strong theologian but a financier with but few equals. Dr. Griffin is a native of Georgia and has served the church for twenty years in the state of Alabama, filling some of the more prominent charges, as pastor and presiding elder.

NEW PASTOR M. E. CHURCH try. Upward of four hundred members were received into the church at this place during his stay, and more than twelve thousand dollars raised for all purposes. From Memphis Dr. Griffin was transferred back to Alabama and placed in charge of the Metropolitan church in Mobile, where he was serving his fourth year acceptably with members and friends and citizens at large. He has been a member of the last three general conferences, and has been considered by many churchmen as splendid timber for the bench. The people of Alabama, the members and citizens of Mobile, were loth to give him up. So First A. M. E. church of Kansas City, Kansas, and our citizens may feel proud in having assigned here a man who can take up every phase of the work and responsibilities and carry it on to greater heights, from where that preceding giant, Dr. Ransom, left off. The church and citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas Conference and the Middle West, welcomes Dr. Griffin and his family among us, and anticipate and wish for him his greatest success in the ministry. Oh next Thursday evening, May 17th, a public reception will be tendered the new pastor and family and also our retiring pastor, Dr. Ransom and family. The general public have an invitation to be resent at this double affair. 1821 Rev. J. R. Ransom at First A. M. E. Nebraska avenue. PIONEER MINISTER 91 YEARS OF AGE. Rev. Thomas Scott, 814 Freeman, a pioneer minister of the African Methodist Episcopal church of the Middle West, will on next Tuesday, the 15th, if preserved, celebrate his ninety-first birthday. Rev. Scott started out from Missouri as a circuit rider in the year of 1864, and preached the gospel upwards of 45 years in that state and Kansas. During the early days of his ministry he rode through Western Missouri and to Quindaro, Kansas. He was only retired a few years ago, and today is as active as many men at half his age. Mrs. Brown of Champaign, Ill., was nere this week attending the funeral of her sister, Mrs. Scott, on Tenney avenue. Mr. J. H. Smith of North Sixth street, has been somewhat indisposed but is able to return to his work again. WANTED—1,000 Negro Men and Boys to learn to be Expert Automobile Mechanics and Chauffeurs.

PAUL AT WICHITA, KANSAS. When the news reached the people last week that Rev. J. R. Ransom, who has been the pastor of the First A. M. E. church at the corner of Eighth and Nebraska avenue for four a and a half years, had been transmerred to the St. Paul A. M. E. church at Wichita, Kansas, it was like a bolt of lightning coming from a clear sky. It was known, according to the rules of the church, that this would be his last year here, but little did the people dream of him being taken away before conference. But the African Methodist Episcopal church is a progressive one and when the heads deem it wise for the best interest of its connection to make such changes its broadness of Christianity will not allow friendship to come between the better. [Image of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and a bow tie.] Who served First A. M. E. church for four years and a half with great credit. He was recently transferred to St. Paul church, Wichita, Kansas. ment of church progress. In Doctor Ransom the people of Kansas City, Kansas, had learned to love, and his work, as a Christian minister and collaborer with all humanity, irrespective of church denomination was phenomenal. He has been preaching and teaching in this state alone for thirty-one years, and has been considered for many years as the great leader of his church and race of the West, and is looked upon today as a benefactor to mankind. He is loved by his brother ministers of all denominations and ever holds himself in readiness to co-operate with them in carrying out any plan for the development of the church and race. His counsel has been sought after among all races in both church and nation. He loves to do things for his people and in the years of his public life in this state he alone has been instrumental in securing thousands of positions for his people. At the last general conference he received a very flattering vote for one of the two bishops that were elected. He has represented the Fifth Episcopal district for many years in the General Conference, and is identified on several committees of some of which he is chairman. The many friends of Dr. Ransom in Greater Kansas City have some consolation and that is, he is still in the state of which he so dearly loves. His legion of warm friends of Kansas City, Kansas, wish for him untold success and Wichita should feel proud and honored in being so fortunate in having as their pastor and citizen such a brilliant Christian minister, leader and statesman as the Rev. Dr. J. R. Ransom. DIXONS FILM IS EXCUSED BY CENSORS "BIRTH OF NATION" CANNOT BE SHOWN IN KANSAS, IS BOARD'S RULING. The board of censors had that film, "The Birth of a Nation," thrown for the second time on the screen Wednesday which was killed by the state board of censorship. This picture, which eights months ago ran 15 weeks in Kansas City, Kansas, has final met its just dues, although the censor board was divided. Miss B. Simpson, the only member of the former state board to obtain reappointment, advocated passing this rebellious Ku-Klux picture, while Mrs. J. M. Miller and Mrs. B. I. Short, the latter of this city, condemning the picture as immoral, and possible race troubles might accrue. The Advocate feels at least that the state board of censors have two members who will not allow knowingly any film to pass their judgment that is not in keeping with good moral ethics. A PLAY OF MERIT HER FRIEND. THE ENEMY HER FRIEND, THE ENEMY. A patriotic play by seniors of Summer High was rendered to over 1500 people at K. C., K., high school Wednesday night. About 150 were turned away. Each character did so well that nearly all seemed to be stars. Matthew Carroll, Jr., as Capt. Fernbrook, of the Northern army, with honor above all, did fine; B. Cotter, as the changeable villian, was exceedingly smooth in his part; L. Anderson as Lige, the Negro, was very fine. Miss Grace Harris, as Aunt Chloe, was very natural to her part. J. Locke, as Zebediah, a Yankee, was fine; Miss K. Davis, as Diana, a Southern girl, had the heavy melo-dramatic part and was very fine as the heroine. Miss N. Watson, A. Bradley and Messrs B. Williams, J. Cooper, P. Maddox, U. Wilkerson and L. Rice all did their parts well, also. Matt. Carroll, Jr. was the hero. The play was very appropriate for these war times as an inspiration. A committee of seven teachers rehearsed the pupils. The orchestra under Prof. T. H. Reynolds rendered good music between the four acts. Prof. J. P. King headed the committee who assisted the pupils. The great audience was well pleased and applauded the rendition. At the close a large American flag was lowered and the orchestra played America and the audience stood. It was a pleasant sight to see Mrs. Carrie Miller out to church Sunday after being confined to her home so long on the account of illness of her three children. Mrs. Allen, of St. Louis, Mo., sister to Mrs. Carson on Jersey avenue, arrived in our city Sunday and expects to make this her future home. GOLDEN TONGUE ORATOR SPEAKS TO THOUSANDS OF HIS RACE. NOT ONE HAS EVER BETRAYED TRUST OF NATION, SAYS R. C. SIMMONS. RECORD EXTENDS FROM LEXINGTON TO CARRIZAL, SAYS ROSCOE CONKLIN SIMMONS. Monday evening of this week saw thousands of Negroes wending their way to Armory hall, Fourteenth street and Michigan avenue, to hear one of the race's greatest young orators, Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, of Louisville, Ky., who is often styled "the golden tongued orator." The occasion was a patriotic demonstration under the auspices of Uniform Rank of K. of P. featured by a parade of the Second regiment of Missouri and Lincoln high school cadets. We give in part Mr. Simmons' speech. Faith in God and White Race. "My faith is planted in God's promises and in the great heart of the American white man,' he sad. "With the American white man I have always stood side by side against the foe, and I will ask him for my people to put on me the uniform of my country, hand me the American flag, and show me the enemy. "I would rather be an American Negro, living in my humble cabin, eating the bread of hope and drinking the water of faith, waving about my head the Red, White and Blue than to sit on cold stones of departed grandeur and feast from the hand of any king. "When the guns awoke at Lexington we were there, far in front. We followed Washington and stocked arms only when Cornwallis came to grief. We followed Perry through the dangers of northern waters to stand with him against the foe. We followed Taylor through Texas to the bad lands of Mexico. We fought under Jackson at New Orleans and won for him the victory that gave him deathless renown. The tear-dimmed eyes of Lincoln were filled with hope when he heard that we were coming to catch the falling flag cut from the skies by the dashing Lee. "We snatched Roosevelt from defeat, and, amid a song of joy, placed him victor on the Spanish ramparts. But a brief season has passed since we carried Old Glory into Mexico and died beneath its folds. No Treason in Record. "We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While yet-we were in chains we fought to free white men and returned to our own chains. No Negro has ever insulted the flag. Acuse us of what you will, no man can point to our disloyalty. No Negro ever struck down a president of these United States. No Negro ever sold a military map or secret to a foreign government. No Negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to fight and bleed and die in the republic's service. "Men may forget what we have done, but God cannot forget. And God is eternal justice, who in time shall dry all tears and right all wrongs. "I excuse nothing wrong and nothing of injustice do I approve. But the time comes, when we must all forget; forget North, forget South, forget race, forget color, forget party, forget creed, forget all but country and God." "There is no white man who lives beneath its folds who owes as much to the American flag as the American Negro. The Flag of Flags. "The American flag is the flag of flags under which a million men went to fields of blood to make me a man. The American flag is the flag that waved about the army of Grant at Appomattox. The American flag is the flag that hung in grief above the coffin of Abraham Lincoln. I may suffer under that flag, but all I enjoy or can enjoy came under it and it was the grandest sign upon which man ever gazed. "I need not urge my race to stand up for their flag and country. If the silence of tombs could be broken and heroes of four wars could speak, all would know that the heroism of the Negro is a golden chapter in the NO.37 story of our country. If President Wilson would know, if white man or black would know, where the Negro will be, or what he will do, let him look in the books written by white men. Turn the soil at Lexington and listen to the winds of the valleys at Carrizal. I belong to a race that has never murdered a ruler nor given comfort to a foe." A LARGE DAY AMONG PYTHIANS K. P.'S HAVE BIG TURN OUT. Last Sunday saw one of the largest turnouts among Pythians and Calantheans that ever was seen in this city, the occasion being their annual Thanksgiving sermon, which was held at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple at 3 p. m. The sermon was delivered by Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of the First A.M. E. church of this city, he being Grand Prelate of the Kansas jurisdiction. It was said by those in attendance it was one of the strongest Pythian sermons ever had been their pleasure to hear. At the close of the sermon a Pythian soldier with the rank of colonel came forward and joined the Christian army. There were four subordinate lodges, three courts, and Mid-West company of this city, and the Second regiment, with Colonel Pritchett commanding, from Kansas City, Mo., and with Kansas' new First regiment band of this city leading the procession, made a fine and impressive demonstration on the line of march. The streets along the line of march were thronged with men, women and children. The one big thing which was new on the excellent program was a Pythian chorus of some forty Calantheans and Sir Knights, who rendered excellent music. Grand Chancellor Dr. S. H. Thompson made a telling address and in it brought out many inspiring thoughts. Dr. I. Anthony in a short address on the orders and courts of the city, showed the struggle both had in their beginning and the wonderful progress they had risen to at this time. Stating each new number was carrying a good bank account and that one of the subordinate numbers had purchased a $1,300 piece of property and held up to the audience the last note, which recently had been cancelled, besides having a healthy bank account. Mrs. E. E. Ewing represented one of the Calanthe numbers, with a fine paper. Mrs. Stringer of another number read a fine paper. Colonel Pritchett made some very encouraging and appropriate remarks. After the close a parade led by Sir Knight Marshal Taylor was taken through the western part of the city, returning back to headquarters at M. & O. hall, where they disbanded. Nathan Thatcher was master of ceremonies. MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN CAPTIVATES A PACKED HOUSE AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The Patti Brown recital at the First A. M. E. church Tuesday night under the auspices of the choir was far beyond in quality and richness than heart can tell. Mme. Brown was at her best, showing she had reached greater heights in the art of her profession than when she appeared here two years ago. There is no doubt of her having and controlling one of the sweetest voices performing before the public. This large church was packed from its entrance to the gallery. The local numbers on the program were by far the most classical that has been heard in Greater Kansas City. The Alpha Art club met at the home of Miss·Gertrude Jackson, 345 Armstrong avenue, May 4th. There were 24 ladies present. An excellent menu was served at the close of the meeting. Miss Jackson was highly complimented as an entertainer. We will do well, to become sensible to the fact, that in so far as we is the guest this week of Mrs. Stevens are concerned, there is a stage of war and family, 830 Nebraska avenue. ADVERTISING RATES.

These excerpts of Bishop Quayle's address are a small indication of the masterfulness of the whole address. Everyone should get and read the address. Read it over and over to your children and friends. It is pitched upon a plane of brotherhood, this world must finally come to. It is right. It is just. It is fair. It is Christian. The address appears in the two issues of the Central Christian Advocate of April 18 and 25. G. A. GREGG. Excerpts from the address of Bishop Quayle on "The Black Man and the Christ." "He is an American. In this present time of our national life that is not a thing to have around. When so many have been traitors and when so many are essentially traitors now, it is stabilizing to have an absolutely true American in our midst. "In my public life, spent in loving people of every race, I have observed certain things about the black man: "1. He is not a tramp. Not three black men in my life time have begred at our door. Thousands of other men have. "But his enemies say he is lazy. Let the white race, whose labor he has so long sweat under, he slow to throw that stone. They say his women lack virtue. Until the white man becomes a gentleman with a helpless womanhood he has diabolically debauched, let that word sink into silence. They say he is brutal. While white men continue lynching black men with inhuman delight, let that accusation wither on the lips. No, brothers, the non-black races will do well to observe discreet silence. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. In an address to a bevy of gentlemen a few days ago. I took occasion to say, "If you will but open the avenues of your observation, to the truth that daily surrounds you; you will have a consciousness that we are well into the Social Revolution — it is on—here, and now: regardless of our lack of knowledge. We get knowledge by thinking consecutively, upon the matters and things that immediately concern us." I believe these words could be as well said to our Brother in Black, as they were to those to whom they were spoken, especially, in these strenuous times, when suggestions of common sense value, such as the production and conservation of material wealth, and the observing of an interest in each other, seem to be the order of the day. If you will just think one step further, you will ask "Why not these same ideas and acts all the time?" "If they are good, appropriate, and necessary now; why have they not been such all the time?" The fact is, my Dear Brothers, they are, and have been good and proper all the time. And only one thought further shows the untold loss we have suffered, and will continue to suffer, by failing to apply these common sense methods. on, at all times, and that whatever is wise as a war measure for the Nation, is good for us every day as an economic measure. Then let's stop false plays, and make-shifts, and get down to the real facts. Let's organize a closer union among ourselves by means of the Civic League. We have ocular proof that we should hang together, and that if we do not—we will hang separately. It was a pleasure, indeed, to learn of the Civic League holding its first meeting in its permanent quarters, in the rear of the Home Drug Co. on Tuesday of this week. To be sure, we are proud of what has been accomplished—but listen—the work has scarcely begun. We should have a chapter or guild in several localities in the city, wherein to teach and proach the ideas and notions of conserving our welfare forces among ourselves—we should Proselyte, Propagate, and observe the little things, that we now so loosely let slip to our "other friends" while we fail to observe that a whole lot of little things make a great big result. And now to all who have dropped off, come on back to the League and bring others, so that when questioned as follows: "Whar is you gwyne in such a hurry brother?" You may answer: "I ain't gwyne no whar—I'se coming from; being out." Let's get in—and get busy. I. F. BRADLEY. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The church on last Sunday was packed at each service. At the morning service many were ushered to the gallery and also some in the evening. This being the last Sunday for Dr. Ransom who has been the pastor of this church for four years and seven months, he was at his best and delivered two of the strongest intellectual and spiritual sermons of his entire pastorate. At the close of the morning service nine men and women came forward and connected themselves with the church and one gentleman at the close of the evening meeting. A hallelujah expression was demonstrated at both services and at times hardly a dry eye could be seen in the large congregation. The evening message was a mid-year farewell sermon which reached the hearts of flock and friends from one whom they had learned to love and honor. At times the beloved shepherd of this flock who had so carefully and tenderly looked after and fed them for more than four years could not prevent a bubbling over of his feeling of love which has been in his heart at all times for the church and humanity. After each service members, friends and visitors flocked around the rostrum extending a hand of congratulation on the great sermon delivered, and at the same time bidding, their friend and pastor a good-bye. At the close of the evening service the choir and congregation sang feelingly. "God Be With You "Till We Meet Again." FIRST BAPTIST SEWING CIRCLE. The Sewing Circle of the First Baptist church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, 852 Everett avenue, and a large number of ladies were present. Inspiring and encouraging remarks were made by the pastor, Rev. Bowren, and Rev. Ziegler, a visiting minister. The offering was $12.20. At the close the hostesses served a two course lunchcon. A word of thanks by the members was tendered to them for their hospitality. FORUM. Owing to a large sermon holding overtime, the Forum did not meet. Dui this Sunday, May 13th, a fine program will be rendered with fine music and Judge N. C. Johnson as the principal speaker. All are invited. Prof. G. A. Gregg of Western university and the Kansas Conference Superintendent of the Allen Christian Endeavor League was the speaker at the Allen Endeavor Sunday evening at the First A. M. E. church. The professor gave a most interesting and inspiring address and the league was greatly aroused and encouraged by his message. Mr. J. G. Groves, our potato king, of Edwardsville, was in the city the first of this week on business. Mr. Groves has just gotten over a spell of sickness, which kept him on the inside for a number of weeks. His many friends are much gratified to see him out again. Mr. Marcellus Robinson was found out on his porch Monday night at his home, 821 New Jersey, very slick in an unconscious condition and has not yet been able to tell how he came to be there. Dr. Thompson is attending him. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. CUSTOM SHIRT SHIR MADE TO MEASURE IMPORTED SHIRTING 1011 North 6th St., K. C. K.

Whole Family Benefited There are many little things to annoy us, under present conditions of life. The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability.. We are frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 82 Plum St., Atlanta Ga., writes: "I have on several occasions been vastly relieved by the use of your medicines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills, which I keep constantly on hand for the use of myself, husband and two sons. Nothing in the world equals them as a headache remedy. Often I am enabled by the use of one or two of the Pills to continue my housework when otherwise I would be in bed. My husband joins me in my praise of the Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are relied upon to relieve pain, nervousness and irritability in thousands of households.

City Physicians Explain Why To Make Beautiful, Healthy Women and Strong, Vigorous Men NOW BEING USED BY OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY Quickly transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid cheeks of week, anaemic men and women into a perfect glow o health and beauty—Often increases th strength of delicate, nervous, run-down folks 100 per cent. In two weeks' time. New York, N. Y.—It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country have been asked to explain why they prescribe it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms of organic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given below: Dr. Fordinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Auth or says, "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. F. King, M.D. Pallor means Anaemia. A anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles lack none, the brain fags and the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapicola, sango, farina, degerminated cornmeal no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste-pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked is responsible for other grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a Therefore, if your youthful ripe old age you must supply their deficiency in your food by using some form of organic inion just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt T.A.Wallace.M.D. Dr. T. Alphonsus Wallace, a physician of many years experience in this country and who has been given many honorary titles in England says "Nuxated Iron gives the weak and run down that great vim, energy, and endurance so envied by the weakling. Its widespread use should bring about the most startling results everywhere. The pale anaemic, nervous people now seen at every turn shuffling lifelessly along the streets should become sturdy, alert men and women of snappy stride brimming over with vim and vitality." Dr. E. Sauer a Boston physician who has studied both in this country and Rev. T. F. Jones returned from a successful revival service in Omaha. Bishop Parks walked in upon us at Allen Chapel last Sunday.

The Senior class of W. U. is getting out an annual this year. Mrs. Catherine Bishop entertained a few of her friends at her beautiful home last Wednesday. The long table which extended across the artistically decorated dining room had Mrs. Julia C. Tyler from Indianapolis, ind. who has returned from Hot Springs, Ark., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Allie Caverns and niece, Mrs. Underwood. Mr. C. Burk was the guest of Mr. Underwood last Sunday.

The guests who enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess were: Rev. and Mrs. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Connor, Mrs. Williams and sister, Rev. S. Douglas McDuffie, Rev. and Mrs. Frederick Douglas, Mrs. J. Thornton, Mrs. T. McMillian, and Mr. They Prescribe Nuxated Iron In Great European Medical Institutions says; "As I have said a hundred times over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, (instead of dosing themselves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, gripe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. 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 he was careworn and nearly all in—now at 50 after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is 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 strength out of it, and as a consequence 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 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 nuxed, iron three times per day F. Sauer, M. D. after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see 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 rid themselves of all symptoms of dispensia, 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 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. The iron demanded by mother nature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas' not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and Moore of Texas. The guests departed late in the afternoon declaring Mrs. Bishop an ideal hostess. GENEROSITY OF NASHVILLE Y. M. C. A. Visiting Sunday School Congress delegates (among the men and boys) will be offered domicile in the new Y. M. C. A. building that has recently been opened for the colored people of Nashville. This action was taken at the meeting of the committee of management and the advisory board last week when Secretary Wm. Sanders announced that immediately following the clean up week, which is now in progress, they would, in all probability, be able to offer board and lodging to at least two hundred of the men and boys who will be in attendance at the twelfth annual session of the Sunday School Congress. This spacious building with all its apartments has been placed at the disposal of the general committee, of which the Rev. J. L. Harding, D.D., is chairman, and Henry A. Boyd is secretary. Announcement cards will be sent out giving the delegates the number of the room in the new Y. M. C. A. building to which they are assigned. By this arrangement the congress secretary, Henry A. Boyd, stated that it would insure hospitable entertainment to the men and women alike, as it would allow the women who are in attendance to be assigned to the private homes, and will relieve the men from having to be assigned to the private homes to a large extent. The local committee looking out for the assignment of the delegates is already at work, and the assignment cards will be sent out next week.

Many an athlete and 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 down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron." Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, of New York City, said. I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan State Hospital of N. Y., and formerly assistant Physician, Brooklyn State Hospital, says: "Pa- H. James, M.D. enervated and devitalized state of health, those for instance convalescing from protracted fevers, those suffering from a long standing case of anaemia, and such people, in my opinion, need iron. Of late there has been brought to my attention Nuxated Iron. In practice, I have found this an ideal restorative and upbuilding agent in these cases above mentioned." Note—Nuxated iron, which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. 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 take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to return your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists.
