and are trampled down by strong, keen,
red-blooded men with nerves of steel.
"Without strong' nerves you lose your
magnetism, force and courage. You
feel your own weakness and others
know that ydu are weak. Trifling:
things annoy you this is a sure sign
of nerve exhaustion.
Some people are born with a very
email amount of nervo-vital tluld. be
cause their nerve force has been squan
dered by the lives lead by their an
cestors. Others use up their nerve
force faster than the body can make
It.
When your nerve force becomes
weakened all the vital organs of your
body lose their normal strength and
vigror and as a result, all kinds of
alarming symptoms may appear. From
the pains across the back, one person
thinks he has kidney trouble: another
may think his spine is injured because
of the tender spots which may occur
thereon. The dull heavy pain in the
lower part of head leads another to
thing he is going to have paresis and
from the disagreeable fulness or pres
sure in the front of his head, another
feels he is going to die from high
blood pressure. Sleeplessness and
nervous irritnhUitv hwirt nnlnitatinn
and indigestion are very common symp-
lums. .aiurany your sirengm, vigor,
endurance and brain power are all
greatly weakened, and in such ;i
condition you are in no position to
compete with the strong, keen red
blooded man with nerves of steel,

only one thing that is going to help
you and that is more nerve force.
In such cases mere stimulating medi
cines and narcotic drugs are often
worse than useless; what you must
have Is something to furnish an in
creased supply of the nervo-vital fluid
to vour nerve cells. This is most ef
fectively accomplished by the free use of
Nuxated Iron. This valuable product
contains the principal chemical constiu
uent of active living nerve force in a
form which most nearly resembles that
in the brain and nerve cells of man.
It also contains organic iron like the
iron in vour blood and like the iron
in spinach, lentils and apples. This
form of iron will not blacken nor in
jure the teeth nor upset the stomach.
It is an entirely different thing from
metallic iron which peonle usuallv
take. Nuxated Iron may therefore be
termed both a blood and a nerve
food as it feeds strength-giving iron
to vour blood and the principal chemi
cal ingredients of active living nerve
force to your brain and nerve cells.
Over four million people are using
Xuxated Iron annually. From the re
markably beneficial results which it
has produced, the manfacturers feel
so certain of its efficacy that they
guarantee satisfactory results to every
purchaser or they will refund your
money. Beware of substitutes. Look
for the word "Nuxated" on every
package. Nuxated Iron for the blood
and nerves is sold by all druggists.

HOLDING ALOOF
FROM THE REST
For the Very Simple Reason
That the Others Have
Nothing to Offer.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.
Staff Correspondent of The News.
Special Ceble Dispatch to The Xem.
Copyright, 1921, by Mews Publishing Co.
Paris, Sept. 17. A plain unvarnish
ed word about Mr. Hoover's Russian re
lief. There has been much criticism
though cautiouslv advanced of Mr.
Hoover in certain European quarters
where it was felt he was "too exclus
ive" in his relief organization. It is
pointed out that he turned a cold should
er toward Dr. Nansen and the League
of Nations effort, and . also refused to
pool resources with the Supreme Coun
cil committee.
"Why does Hoover hold aloof? Why
does he refuse to co-operate with oth
ers? Why does he want to play a lone
hand?" complain the critics, who seem
to feel it is just a matter of personal
pride.
The fact, straight from a plain-speaking
American who is in a position to
know, is this:
Hoover is the only one of all the re
lief people who has any money. He has
some fourteen million dollars for this
purpose. He can get more, much
more. Xansen has no money. The
League has none. The Supreme Council
has none.
OFFER CO-OPERATION.
When these other agencies come to
Hoover with suggestions for co-operation,
he listens politely, and then asks:
"What can you do?".
They answer that they can er ah
hum "co-operate."
What it means, says my informant, is
that they are willing to help Hoover
spend his money. Hoover will co-operate
with anybody who has the goods,
but sees no point in cutting one loaf of
bread into too many small pieces.
Meantime, one of the most graceful
and practical things American charity
has done in Europe is the presentation
by the American Red Cross to the Aus
trian Government of all its surplus
stock of tobacco and cigarettes.
What to do with this surplus has Ion
been a problem to the Red Cross au
thorities at the Paris headquarters. The
army stocks of tobacco were sold, along
with the rest of tne war" surplus, to the
French government and retailed
through the Government tobacco stores
at a low price. The French smoker,
however, did not take to American
eig:;ettes and. while American resi
dents eagerly bought their favorite
brands by the carton, there were not
enough Americans to make the stock
move quickly. Therefore, when the Red
Cross proposed that the French nuthov
ities buy ther stocks also, the French
"regie" refused.
Not onlv that, but it refused to al
low the Red Cross to sell them rt all
in Frnnee, unless the full tax were
paid. This made the price so high that
pale was impossible. Other European
governments were appealed to, but in
vain, for everywhere the tax on tobacco
is high.
HAPPY EXPEDIENT.
At last a happy expedient was hit
upon. The Red Cross commission in
Vienna offered to gove the tobucco.
which cost the Red Cross eighty thous
and dollars, to tho Austrian Govern
ment on condition that the latter sell
it at a determined price, substantially
equivalent to the retail price in Amer
ica, and devote the proceeds to child
relief, under Red Cross supervision.
The stocks have just been shipped
and are beginning to arrive in Vienna.
There are carloads of cigarettes and
other carloads of "roll-your-own" which
the Austrian Government will make up
intto cigarettes before selling, thus
getting a higher price.
Meanwhile, plans for applying the
proceeds to the immediate relief of
Vienna's undernourished babies are
well under way. The plan pointly
adopted by the Government and th'?
Red Cross provides for the purchase o'
cows, which will be brought into the
territory immediately surrounding Vi
enna. The milk from these cows will
go directly to the hospitals and to the
various child health stations distribut
ing relief to the babies of the poor.
To expedite the work, the Austrian
finance ministry has already agreed to
advance part of the money expected to
be realized from the sale of the Ameri
can stocks. The total to be realized, ac
cording to Red Cross officials, will be
not far from one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, as the inventory value
of the goods is considerably below the
retail value .
VIENNA LACKS MILK.
Some idea of the dearth of milk in
Vienna may be gained from " the fact
that, whereas the normal supply of the
city is about one million gallons daily,
it has dropped until it is now hardly
one hundred thousand gallons. Part of
the cause of this is the fact that great
dairy lands, which formerly nourished
the Austro-Hungarian capital, have
been annexed to Czecho-Slovakia. An
other reason, however, is that the Gov.
eminent has fixed the price of milk at
a low figure, in order to place it with
in reach of the poor, and the result Is
that the dairy farmers claim they can
not produce at a profit. A short time
ago, in fact, the daily supply fell as
low as fifty thousand gallons, but dou
bled when a slight increase in price was
allowed.
Before the milk situation can Im
prove much further, there will have to
be greater increases in price. Indeed
one Red Cross report declares that con
trol must be removed altogether and
free competition restored if the farmers
are to be expected to produce a maxi
mum yield.
At all events, the Viennase smoker
may now increase jhis daily cigarette
consumpttion with a clear conscience,
realizing that if, as some doctors as
sert, it is bad for his health, it is all
the same good for the health of Viean
na's children.
MAYOR IS UNABLE TO

EXPOSITION NOTES
EDITOR OF "COTTON" HERE.
L.. 1a. Arnold, editor of "Cotton," pub
lished in Atlanta and one of the most
widely circulated magazines in the
country devoted to cotton in its vari
ous phases, is a visitor at the exposition
He has been here for Several days and
is taking notes about points of interest
at the exposition.
Charlotte people are warmly to be
congratulated, he said, on the enter
prise in staging the Made-in-Carolinas
exposition. The only criticism he has to
offer is that thev did not do.it sooner
and he suggested that Charlotte is
emulating Greenville, which has shown
itself to be . forward-looking and enter
prising in erecting the Textile building
there and otherwise fostering the ex
tile industry and the exploitation of
cotton by that means.
HOUSE BUILDING SHOWN.
The Tuxbury Lumber Company,
whose booth is at the door on the
farthest east wing leading from the ex
position building out into the airdrome
and right at the east wing the band
stand shows the visitor to the exposi
tion just what processes have to be
followed in building a house from cel
lar to garret and how the timbers are
put together. It is in charge of M. G.
McGuinn, sales engineer of the Tux
bury Lumber company, and one of the
most expert house engineers in the city,
it is said . The booth, being hard by the
band stand, is a favorite resting place
for visitors, combining both the fea
tures of rest room and demonstrattion
of the methods used by modern engi
neers in house building, as well as the
timbers and materials used in popular
types of houses at the present day.
I CHAIR EXHD3IT.
I A booth in the north wing and about
! the middle of the building that has at
tracted much attention is that of the
High Point Bending and Chair Com
pany of Siler City, this state. In the
booth are half a dozen specimens . of
the type of chair made by this com
pany. Several furniture dealers o
Charlotte have pronounced the 'fiber
chair types as fine specimens of the
chair manufacturers art as can be
found anywhere in the world. The work
is finished with a degree of artistry that
one rarely sees. Speight Warren of
Siler City has been in chai-ge of the
booth.
Y. W. C. A. BOOTH.
A booth that has been a center of
popular interest during the exposition
is one operated by the Charlotte Young
Women's Christian Association. It is
in the north wing of the building, on
the left as the visitors go through to
the airdrome. It has been in charge
of various young women of the "Y. W.'
from time to time, including Miss May
Hunting. Miss Edith Summerlin, Miss
Gertrude Downum and others.
The booth has been popularized by
the sale of a little package of water
colors for amateur painters. The pack
age contains a pencil and brush and a
paper with drawings on it representing
various animals and persons. The user
is directed to apply the brush with a
little water on it to the outline of the
proposed picture and presto! he has
painted a beautiful water color picture.
Most of the visitors to the booth do not
fail to take away with them a pack
age to try theeir hand at painting.
SNOWTNO HUMIDIFIERS.
The Branson Humidifier, invented at
Winston -Salemn by the man whose
name it bears and manufactured there,
is an interesting nroduct of the manu
facturies of North Carolina. It has a
place of honor in the exposition build
ing near the band stand and between
that and the manager's office. The in
strument is in action all the while ,
showing how the air in a cotton mill is
kept in a damp condition by the placing
of steam in the air, this to prevent
saturation of the air with annoying i
particles of cotton lint that formerly
made life in certain rooms of a cotton
mill unwholesome.
"WHEAT HEARTS" STAND.
The "Wheat Hearts" both, presided
over by Mrs. Jeanette Fridley and dis
playing a product by the Wheat Hearts
Company of Asheville, has been a pop
ular place with visitors tto the exposi
tion. Specimens of wheat hearts, the
popular commercial product made from
the heart of ordinary wheat grains, are
kept on exhibition and specimens of It
given out to inquiring visitors. Mrs.
Fridley has made the reputation of be
ing one of thhe most accomplished dem
onstrators at the exposition.
WHAT STUDENTS CAN DO.
- The craftmanship and artistic taste
of a high order belongs to the average
North Carolina boy and girl is shown
by a great array of goods on display at
the Southern Industrial Institute booth
at the Exposition, where President J.
A. Baldwin of the institute has fitted up
a booth at the northeast corner of the
building, not far from the east entrance
to the airdrome.
"The booth is to me one of the most
beautiful in the exposition and the
most interesting of all of them because j
of its possibilities, said a visitor stand
ing before the booth Friday night. "I
expected to see fine handiwork and ar
tistic things in booths where manufac
tured articles are kept and where ar
tists of long training have placed thei
wares, but I was hardly prepared to see
such wonderful work from the Southern
Industrial Institute, where the crafts
manship and artistry shown are, so to
speak, the result of native endowment
and not of long training."
In the booth are a great many dainty
articles of-household use, such as beds,
tables, doll cradles, dolls, picture frames
